I barely noticed the minutes zipping by as I ran, awaiting my next instruction. --John Briley, The Washington Post, February 22, 2005

Product Description

NEW. Revised Volume 1. Discover the magic of Cardio Coach™ in the REVISED first workout of the Guided Workout Series as your Coach, Sean O’Malley, leads you through two fun, fast-paced challenges. New music, new workouts. Cardio Coach™ is for anybody, at any fitness level! No predetermined speeds or settings --- your workout is individualized to your perceived levels of exertion and motivates you to reach your goals. CD included written and graphic workout breakdown. The workout begins with a light warm-up and moves you into a steady state mode of exercise to prepare for the upcoming intervals. In challenge 1, you will climb 6 level 3 hills. Each hill is 20 seconds long, followed by a 40 second rest. The second challenge contains 3 level 3 sprints. Each sprint is 1 minute in length followed by a 1 minute rest. After the second challenge, you will be instructed to take your settings back to your steady state, or level 2, and finish the workout with the cool down. Or, show your spunk with the optional third challenge. Either way, the workout will leave you with a higher metabolism and those feel good endorphins. Scored with uplifting and 'on the mark' music, you will be instructed throughout the workout and each cue will help you find your specific workout levels. The CD ends with an inspiring word from your Coach. Volume 1 is designed to be more instructional in nature than the other volumes, and includes two versions. Version A is intended for the first-time user and contains additional instructional tracks. After using Version A at least once, users may advance to Version B for the same great workout without the added verbal instructions.

Sean's guided workout cd is phenomenal! His voice is mesmerizing, the music inviting and the work out is well defined and structured. A great way to spend thirty minutes!

If my treadmill suddenly came to life it would say , "Gina, what are you doing?" hehe..... I've used the cd everyday for the last 3 weeks at least 3 times a week and my treadmill is confused!! What i like the most is that I look forward to my workouts and I know that I'm working out harder than i usually do when I watch Matt & Katie in the AM....so, instead, i'm taping Matt & Katie and actually burning a few calories! thanks Sean.....can't wait for your next CD....Can you do special request for music??? I'd like to hear some different stuff

4.0 out of 5 stars Different but good, February 18, 2002

I have all the Shape CD's and I was looking to see if they had released a new one when I found Sean O'Malley's Guided Workout. At first I thought it was a bit expensive but after I worked out to it, I changed my mind. I contacted Sean (or whoever answers their email on the vo2maxed.com website) and they explained that more CD's are being released soon to accomodate different needs. That's why I gave it 4 stars. I would definetly buy the second volume and can see how this can be a really cool concept. Sean has a good voice and it really does sound like he's RIGHT there with you.
