4.0 out of 5 stars
Step to this...good pace, February 27, 2006
I used to do a lot of step aerobics. Now in my 50's, my knees are kinda wonky, but my favorite heart workout is still free-form mixed-impact, dance-y step, performed for about an hour. This CD has been a good fall-back-to selection for years. I rediscover it and play the heck out of it for a month or two before I cycle it out, but I always go back to it. The pace slides up and down very slightly, which revs my adrenal jets a lot.
I do a lot of types of workouts, and my other favorite aerobic music includes rock like Limp Biskit, Midnight Oil and Big Country, Latin like Chucho Valdez and Tito Puentes, rap, reggaeton like Don Omar, and of course dance music like Johnny Vicious Ultra Dance 01. This CD is right there, though. Very blood-pumping.

Sums up the hits, dance artists, and remixers of the era..., October 26, 2005
Definitely a "greatest hits" collection of dance mixes from the day, this one is filled with club hits and cheesy commercial radio hits. The real tragedy here is that, several of these songs, which are near impossible to find on CD, are all very short on this disc. Track times:
1. professional widow (3:58)
2. america (I love America) (5:10)
3. For the love of you (tony moran mix) (4:58)
4. The bomb (4:35)
5. Heartbeat (e-smoove mix) (5:57)
6. Close to you (4:20)
7. The boss (5:57)
8. once in a lifetime (3:41)
9. Make my body rock (4:55)
10. never get enough (junior's deep factory mix) (4:42)
11. tonight is the night (with the ORIGINAL vocalist, not the re-recording) (5:20)
12. everybody be somebody (back in the days mix) (6:35)

Eye Candy? Yes. Ear Candy? Maybe., June 28, 2000
I saw this CD and it drew my eye just as they'd planned. There's a shirtless, good-looking man on the cover. It said OUT on it, so I figured it was to benefit the magazine and I figured that they'd have a pretty good mix. However as is usual with DJ mix CDs there are a few songs you're sure to have heard and then in the midst of it are the songs that you've probably never heard of and that some producer was desperate to get on the CD for exposure. It's marketed as a "Workout" CD, and the liner notes do contain some information on exercises but you could get the same information in any issue of "Men's Health" magazine for much less, and the men are just as pretty. And to be honest I have Nine Inch Nails albums with a better and more consistent beat. In my opinion, it's a total marketing ploy aimed at gay men. Some songs are good, but the mixing is bad which tends to make the songs too short. This has gone to my CD shelf and is collecting dust.
