While listening I felt like I had a friend, coach and cheering squad to take me through the entire workout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much Better!, February 16, 2004

By A Customer

I came across a review on About.com for both the Volume 1 and 2 CDs and decided to buy them both. I saw that there were not any reviews yet for the Volume 2 CD, so I decided I would be the first. While the volume 1 CD was good, it didn't even compare to the Volume 2 CD. We have an Ifit Treadmill at home that has the cd player with workout CDs but I don't like having to over ride the controls all the time as it gets a bit annoying. Using the Cardio Coach CD allows me to make the decision when to go up in speed or incline and I like that much better. Sean has a great voice and knowing that he was an athlete and is a living example of health is a great contributing factor to making this a believable product. Great Job Sean and i'm looking forward to the next CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sean, you motivated me, February 3, 2005

By	Janet "Janet" (Portland) - See all my reviews

My friend told me about a new study the psychology dept at richmond university is doing on exercise motivation and that they would be using the cardio coach cds as a part of the study. So, I bought it and I absolutely love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent . . . if you follow the instructions!, September 3, 2005

By	Gregory M. Zinkl (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sean is awesome. This volume is just great. I've been working out for awhile now, and this has been the ticket to get me through cardio. It's worth a lot to have a voice that kicks your butt into gear. Relying on your own music may work for some, but I wonder how much slack one is tempted to give themselves when there is nothing to hold them accountable?

Anyway, yeah, there are a few lines that are goofy, but they work. He asks you the hard questions while you're working out. And by golly, I've been religious about following the instructions to a "T" and in the last part of every workout, I'm giving him a great swearing for making me work so hard. That's my test: if I'm not cussing him out by minute 25, I'm not working hard enough!

BTW, I haven't seen anyone swear like a swear when they're working out to their own music :)
