Cardio Coach Volume 4

This is an audio only guided interval cardio workout. What can be said about Vol 4? This ROCKS! I found myself smiling about 10 minutes in and it just got better and time went quicker. This workout is about 50 minutes long including warm-up and stretch. These workouts are recommended for any type of cardio machine (treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical, etc), and for walking or jogging outside.

I use Cardio Coach workouts primarily on the rebounder, as well as for walking outside. It is cardio interval training at it’s best. When he says to increase resistance, I up the tempo, which is so easy because of the great music and rockin’ beat. His voice is not grating in the least, and I cannot recall anything he says getting on my nerves (this happens frequently with me when instructors say silly things or mispronounce words, etc). Further to my delight comes Yoda’s voice from The Empire Strikes Back saying: “Do or do not. There is no try” Talk about winning my heart!

I have also used the instrumental version of this for a lunchtime walk during the work- week. The music helps me keep a great pace. I found myself tapping my foot at the crosswalks, and smiling.

It’s funny. I’d NEVER considered buying a treadmill before, but thanks to coach Sean O’Malley and Cardio Coach, I will consider it now. That’s how good these workouts are. I consider myself to be an advanced intermediate exerciser (maybe more toward advanced when I’m injury free!). I’ve been using videos/DVDs for workouts at home for about 8 or 9 years. These workouts have helped save my sanity as I have not been able to do step or kickboxing in the last four months due to a knee injury. These workouts ( I have Vol 1 through 4) are one of the BEST investments I’ve made in the last 12 months.

Instructor Comments:
Great voice! Not too chatty or too over the top in encouragement. His words sound very sincere.
