I teach a Cardio Karate Class and this CD really keeps the class moving. It also tells me how many Beats per Minute each song has and how long they are. Both CD's have songs for Warm Up, Cool Down's and Post Cardio/Floorwork. The nice part about this album is the music never stops when switching to the next song, it blends in together.

The other reviewer may use this for her classes, but if that's what any other potential buyer has in mind, then you should know that Disc 2, which has the better, faster beat, includes one foul, foul song by 2 Live Crew. Sorry, but a lot of women in my class bring their kids in, and including a song about how much the singer loves naked women shaking their ... and ...just doesn't work. That's the only song with that problem, but it makes the disc unusable. And Disc 1 is just too slow to work up a sweat to. If you don't mind the crudeness of the 2 Live Crew song for yourself, then Disc 2 is great to use for working out at home.

This is a bit dated as aerobics music goes, especially since these days you can get exceptionally good mixes done by quality DJs. CD2 is better than 1, but generally it's all rather monotonous, and it can get hard to cue to music which seems almost uniformly even and has no definite chorus. As a group exercise instructor, I've been using these CDs primarily for beginner aerobics and sculpt classes only. Advanced participants won't get much kick out of them.

This CD crashed my computer, loading a damaging spyware which completely shut me down. Besides that, the music moves off phrase from time to time. My class didn't care for it too much, and neither did I.

If your class likes to sing-a-long then this CD is one to miss. It's very techno high energy music. My boot camp loves it but the other classes all hate it.

The first CD is pretty slow, too slow for my step aerobics class to enjoy. The 2nd CD is one of my favorites... be aware of a dirty song (although the ladies in my class get really pumped from it!). I find that if you talk enough during your class they don't really catch all the words (there are bad words in one song). But I have to admit, it's my favorite song on the CD! Not so hot first CD, really good 2nd CD. Worth the price.
