If you like 80's new wave music as much as I do, you'll love this cd
(even if you don't use it for workouts.) It concentrates on up-beat
dance tunes and the songs blend in to one another - so no long awkward
silences when you're working out. You can relive your youth cd!

... singing and "dance-walking" along the boardwalk at Jones Beach State Park last weekend. This CD is packed with the music of my club years. The beat is FAST. With my short little legs I generally do this particular 4 mile walk in an hour, but with this CD I finished (with blisters) at around 50 minutes. I also popped it in the player at a poolside party on Sunday afternoon and my fellow 40-somethings thoroughly embarrassed their children by dancing on the deck (without the assistance of alcohol!) the rest of the afternoon.

I used this while riding my exercise bike and, while I am not a huge fan of 80's music, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I was motivated to ride longer than usual. The songs are seamlessly arranged so I didn't skip a beat. It starts out slow (130bpm), goes up to 138bpm and ends with 130bpm. I came here to find more!

I haven't heard a lot of these songs since the mid 80's in high school. Hearing them now, and working out to them now, make me strive harder to get back to the shape I was in back then!! If you loved new wave music then this is a must have!!!

This is a fun and motivating CD for all of us who grew up in the 80's. The songs are pretty fast-paced, but the music is up-beat so the workout goes fast.

This cd is on rotation with my workout music on my treadmill and most of the songs are very motivating for me. Only a couple of songs get tedious for me. Good beat and fast-paced.

It's a good selection of songs, but mostly an 'exercise tape'. The sound quality's good, but all tracks run together (no breaks) and the tempo of some tracks (specifically Send Me an Angel) is speeded up to match some desired pace.

Unfortunately, I was looking more for of a set of studio tracks on the CD.
