I came across a review on About.com for both the Volume 1 and 2 CDs and decided to buy them both. I saw that there were not any reviews yet for the Volume 2 CD, so I decided I would be the first. While the volume 1 CD was good, it didn't even compare to the Volume 2 CD. We have an Ifit Treadmill at home that has the cd player with workout CDs but I don't like having to over ride the controls all the time as it gets a bit annoying. Using the Cardio Coach CD allows me to make the decision when to go up in speed or incline and I like that much better. Sean has a great voice and knowing that he was an athlete and is a living example of health is a great contributing factor to making this a believable product. Great Job Sean and i'm looking forward to the next CD.

My friend told me about a new study the psychology dept at richmond university is doing on exercise motivation and that they would be using the cardio coach cds as a part of the study. So, I bought it and I absolutely love it!

I've been weight training for 25 years now and have never bothered with 'motivational' type cd's until now. I'm nearly 40 and I wanted to start working harder on my cardio fitness using HIIT techniques and a heart rate monitor. The trouble is I find working on cardio machines a bit dull so I thought maybe a motivational cd might help. I read the reviews on Amazon for Cardio coach and thought I would give it a try. I'm really glad I did as this cd has breathed new life into my workouts, the music is carefully paced and coreographed to the exercise and rest intervals, and Seans guidance really helps with my timing and keeping my energy levels high. Without doubt I work harder when I have this cd playing than I do without it, and I enjoy my workouts much more. The cd reminds me a bit of what it was like to train with friends when I was in high school, Sean sounds super positive and encouraging and the music gets the adrenaline flowing. I highly recommend it.

Sean is awesome. This volume is just great. I've been working out for awhile now, and this has been the ticket to get me through cardio. It's worth a lot to have a voice that kicks your butt into gear. Relying on your own music may work for some, but I wonder how much slack one is tempted to give themselves when there is nothing to hold them accountable?

Anyway, yeah, there are a few lines that are goofy, but they work. He asks you the hard questions while you're working out. And by golly, I've been religious about following the instructions to a "T" and in the last part of every workout, I'm giving him a great swearing for making me work so hard. That's my test: if I'm not cussing him out by minute 25, I'm not working hard enough!

BTW, I haven't seen anyone swear like a swear when they're working out to their own music :)
