Do you know of a virtual reality DVD that gives the illusion of biking/walking alone or in a virtual race?

I want to use it while on the treadmill or on a recumbent bike. I need motivation and the feeling of walking in Hawaii or in the Black Hills or exploring Luray Caverns in Virginia or walking through the Louvre might help. I tried the i-Fit DVDs and videotapes, but they have annoying instructors. All I want is music (maybe) and the illusion of walking or biking on the beach or in the mountains. A commentary might not be bad; the problem with the i-Fit tapes is that they periodically stop the virtual reality portion of the tape to focus on the instructor. If I wanted an exercise tape, a la Jane Fonda or the curly-haired guy, I'd buy one.


Answer
I checked on Collage Video, and the Video Cycle or Video Stride videos seem to be what you are looking for:

The Video Cycle Hawaii looks cool from the preview.

Is this a good work out regimen?

100 pushups and situps a day every day cept for 1 day a week, then on every other day ride a bike 2 miles?

How much weight could i expect to lose like that mixxed in with semi healthy eating?



Answer
not a lot, especially with "semi healthy" eating. if you're serious about losing weight, you need to eat healthy, not "semi" healthy(not rabbit food, just balanced).

bike riding 2 miles is a very short period of time, i can do 6 on the recumbent with a book and not break a sweat. if you don't want to go to the gym, ride your bike more,(if you can ride your bike there, why drive? save gas, money, and burn calories and ride at a higher gear if you can), and add more things you can do at home.

-lunges
-hand weights
-resistance bands
-jumping jacks
-lift your arms up, and tilt your torso to one side, straighten up, and do the other. that'll work your "love handles."
-the classic women's aerobics leg exercise: lay on your side and lift your higher leg up and down, back and forth, and in circles. wrap that leg over your lower, and do little lifts with your lower legs. switch sides. you'll work your quads, outer thighs, and inner thighs, even if you feel really silly doing it. i'm a girl and i do.
-get a video or a game, like Yourself! Fitness for PS2.
