I find this workout to be one of the more difficult Cardio Coach workouts because of the short rests. I don’t love the final challenge just because it is more random, and I usually prefer to have intervals that are the same repeated few times where I can try maintaining the same pace for the last interval that I had for the first. But this is a good workout that is finished in under 45 minutes (without the stretch.)

I personally am not that inspired by the music in CC workouts. It is fine, but I prefer real music with vocals, so I can’t say that is why I like doing these workouts. It is more to have Sean in my ear pushing me.
