5.0 out of 5 stars amazing - it works!, July 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mozart for Your Morning Workout (Audio CD)

This is the best of the bunch of theme Mozarts. I grabbed it off the rack because of the great cover (like the earlier theme albums.) Sluggish, not wanting to do it, I did try it on the upstairs bicycle and gradually it clicked in and it worked. Best session I've had in the six weeks I have had the machine. If you need exercise, you need this album.

I did not like the concept or the cover of this CD, and did not consider buying it,... at first. I don't like most compilations because they usually include too many pieces I don't care for. However, daunted by collection prices at the moment and wanting the Academy of St. Martins, I listened to the pieces on this CD... OMG! I love it!!!! I LOVE Mozart's energy and these pieces are for me!

Also, I wanted to share Mozart with my 2nd grade class but the slower sadder pieces would have put them to sleep. This CD exactly fits my current needs! And,... cheap too. I couldn't be more thrilled. The collection I can ask for from my family as a birthday gift - and for now, I have my Mozart fix.

No disrespect intended, but it's possible that reviewer #2 might derive some benefit from listening to "Tchaikovsky for Taking a Dump" :-)

Planning a musical arrangement for exercise can be a bit of a trick due to the requirement of strict consistency of tempo. Many songs while enjoyable simply aren't viable due to their resulting in the listener not being able to sustain a uniform cadence for the duration of their workout.

I've found the selections of this arrangement to be effective for moderately paced exercise. Either a brisk walk, medium settings on an elliptical, or casual bike riding. If a more vigorous exercise regimen is what you're pursuing then a different selection may be in order. However, if your planned exertion level is along the lines of what I described above then this selection will most likely serve you well.
