Then Came Cardio Coach

Posted by HuffandBuff at 5:23 AM

A few years into my fitness journey, a friend encouraged me to take up running.  I was resistant because I was so accustomed to my video workouts, I hadn't pursued many other avenues.  Well, one night, I decided to give it a try and went out for a run.  I barely made it fifteen minutes.  Granted, my body had not been conditioned for running, but more than anything I found the process boring and monotonous.

Enter, Cardio Coach.  Coach Sean O'Malley created audio cardio workouts that can be downloaded and synched to your iPod or other mp3 player.  It was just the motivation I needed to improve and enjoy my runs.

Now imagine clipping on your mp3 player, placing the earbuds in your ears, the sound of the music streaming in your ears, transporting you to a different place and time.  Then, Sean begins coaching you through your run, guiding you from the warm-up through the intervals to the cool-down and stretch; pushing you when you think you can't go any further,offering motivation at just the right times.

Whether it is a journey into a dream world high in the mountains in Volume 2 or outrunning a lion in the Serengeti in Volume 5, Coach Sean gives you the motivation to get the job done.  Cardio Coach workouts can be easily adaptable to the treadmill, elliptical machine, or stationary bike.  They are great to use for outdoor runs or challenging bike rides.  Now, I consistently schedule a run, with Sean talking in my ear and encouraging me every step of the way, it has become a workout I enjoy.
