I’ve recently discovered “Cardio Coach Land”.  What do I mean by that, okay…Cardio Coach is a guided workout series for any type of cardio you may do.  Sean O’Malley is your “coach” in the MP3 cardio workouts.  There are now 8 volumes varying in length from just over a half hour to over an hour.  Each workout is a series of  challenges (hills and sprints) and steady state.  Having a heart monitor is almost a must to make sure you are working at the level for each steady state or challenge.  During these session your coach actually coaches you, encourages you, talks to you (if you get into it enough you swear he’s talking to you personally).  For me he pushes me well past my comfort zone and after each challenge going into a steady state until the next challenge I feel so accomplished.  At times during the challenges you hear voices saying things like “endurance, strength” sort of almost like subliminal because you are focusing so hard on the challenge and the voices are on the softer side.  Some times during challenges your coach will come out of the blue and say “who thinks you can’t do this” and other things and you just want to shout out the answers and talk back to him as if he’s really there with you. 

There is also a pretty could strenght workout on the site too called “Cardio Coach Pump”.  It’s very fast paced and goes by very quickly but is highly effective.  You work all parts of your body and boy do I feel it the next day.  The first time I did it I could hardly walk for 2 days from the squats and lunges so I’ve learned to not squat so far. 

If anyone is interested in looking at this the site is www.cardiocoach.com . Some may think the $14.95 price is a bit much but for me the investment for each one was well worth. I have gotten them over a time not all at once. With having all 8 volumes now I can put numbers in hat and pick which one I do that day or depending on how much time I have do either a short or long one. I think I’m driving my hubby nuts with all talk about “cardio coach land”. I am so much more focused on my cardio doing these then zoning out listening to just my music, looking at the tv and people watching at the gym.
