 Jungle looks all the same; DVD won't play on Mac Laptop July 26, 2010

This DVD would not play on my new Mac Book Pro computer. It doesn't even show as a disc on my desktop, instead it shows as a folder. Bummer. When viewing on my TV... Jungle trails look the same for the entire 37 mins. Where are the vistas, and different terrain? Beach shots are nice though. Also the warmup and cool down is only 1 long video shot. Now instruction or anything. There are better bike/treadmill videos out there.
 Pretty ride! April 16, 2010

I really needed something different to watch while riding my stationary bike. I am not much of a morning person, but I love the early morning hours when the rest of the world is asleep-its a real peaceful time! I was getting on my bike,and watching the Futures, along with the commentary when I noticed my mornings were not feeling so peaceful anymore 0_o
I ordered this in hopes of finding alternative TV at 4:30am! This definitley fits the bill, and makes for a nice ride. It took a bit of getting used to because when I first started watching, it seemed really slow. I was used to keeping pace with the ticker, but once you get used to it, you can keep a pretty good pace without feeling disjointed from the video. I also upped the resistance to make up for the speed, and this gave me a heck of a workout! I was cursing the teeny tiny thing they call a fan on my bike;)
The video isnt fluid-in a few spots it clicks ahead or stops all together, then moves to a different scene. Im not sure if the trail is too narrow in spots, or why this happens, but it isnt overly distracting after youve watched the video a few times.
I thought the beach would be my favoritest part of the ride, but enjoy the "jungle" much more. Reminds me in places of the trails to Clayton Beach in Bellingham!
The beach is beautiful, but you go thru a tourist spot with grass umbrellas and lawn chairs, and further down the sand you can see traffic on the hill side, but this works for me because by the time I hit the beach the music on my CD is really picking up pace and I just watch the waves and ride.
All together with the jungle and beach the ride is nearly 50 minutes long which actually goes by real quick...no really...its true lol! And this comes from someone whose not overly enthusiastic about exersize, but its good for my heart, and a slowing mid 40's metabolism ;) Better to exersize as a prevenative thingy, than exersize because I have to!
Despite a few small things, this video is great, and its a nice peaceful ride that kicked my butt (in a good way). Definitely recomend!

I have been using another set of virtual DVDs that are meant for cycling, but I use them on my treadmill. I've been so happy with them that when I got this one, I really was prepared to be disappointed.
I was delighted with it!
I hit the 'Play All' rather than choosing a specific segment. So we started out with a gorgeous still setting, with the sound of the ocean, which invigorated me as I got myself settled in on my treadmill. I was puzzled for a moment and thought that's all there was to it, so I stopped it and checked. Sure enough, that was just the warm-up.
Next, we come out of a little wooden gate onto a jungle path, surrounded with palm trees and other greenery. The sound was pleasant and non-intrusive. In fact, the sound of my treadmill was the only thing that annoyed me and I usually don't like the cheesy kind of sound on most 'scenery' videos.
So we travel on down that path, always choosing to go left when the path goes 2 directions. There are times when we go over small bridges and catch a glimpse of the water below.
Eventually I wondered if we would EVER get to the ocean, but we did. What a gorgeous view. I felt as if I were walking barefoot in the sand, with the waves coming in over my feet, sometimes having to walk around pieces of wood, etc., that had floated in from the sea. I felt as if I were really there.
I'm very pleased with this. It has a place by my bike-o-vision DVDs. I like to go to a different location to 'walk' or cycle or travel on my elliptical machine every day. It is such an incentive to get in there and spend that time which may also keep me healthy.
I recommend this DVD IF you are a person who loves nature.

I did not like the camera angle as it appeared too high. They should've filmed it from a runners perspective. The beach run is short and then it just stops while looking out at the ocean for several minutes. The jungle run was a little better but at one point, you are coming down a decline toward a pool of water and before you get to it, the scene changes. I would not recommend this for the $15 I paid.
