- Audio Workout

This is an audio workout designed to be used on cardio equipment. I use it on a stationary bike to simulate a spinning class, and let me tell ya - this audio CD ROCKS!!!

There is about a 5 minute warmup where you get your heartrate elevated to a steady state. Then the challenges begin. There are 3 challenges in total, with a 3 minute break in between.

The first challenge is a 2 minute sprint, then 30 second rest, 2 minute climb, 30 second rest, and 2 minute sprint. The second challenge has the two minutes split into first minute hard and second minute super hard. All the challenges are 2 minutes long, and are grouped in 3's with a 30 second break. This workout has me gasping for air and sweating BUCKETS. The music is intrumental sort of eastern sounding. Coach Sean has encouraging comments interspersed with the music. What I REALLY love about this is that I can do this while the Red Sox or Cubs game is on, and I can still hear the baseball game. :^) (I can also, unfortunately, hear DH screaming that the Red Sox AGAIN left guys on base - )...
I got this as an MP3 download, and it is SO worth the 14 bucks I paid for it. I could see me doing this on the step, or using it for hi/lo in addition to my bike, its that versatile.

Instructor Comments:
Very motivating.
