This cd represents and incredibly abundant piece of work. You can definately groove to this music in any setting whether it be to shake your tail featha or to just jam out to some cool tunes with your friends. YOu definately get a bang for your buck with this one peeps. I highly recommend it both for sweatin it and and kickin it.

I love this disc and use it for my water aerobics classes. It has a great arc of bpm speed--warmup, more and more intense cardio, and then a cooldown track. And because it is entirely instrumental, there is little conflict with my voice. My students love it because it's different from the canned thump-thump that is the usual fare. There's very little music available anywhere that leans toward jazz yet has a steady beat for exercise.

Although the instrumental version of Fitness Rhythms is designed for working out, It's also excellent for sittin in the Lay Z Boy. It gets the feet tappin and the blood rate up, and you don't even have to leave the house. The rhythmic drumming runs thoughout with additional instruments and vocals weaving in and out. If you're a couch potato or an athlete, you'll love this CD.

I bought this CD for my Power Hula class hoping the drum beats would fit the bill. A little disappointed in that it wasn't hard-hitting enough for the movements we do. Couldn't find the rhythm to even do jumping jacks to it. More appropriate for cool down or upbeat lounge music. I still enjoyed the music but not for a hard-core tribal dance class.
