Sean O'Malley Cardio Coach Volume 2 - Thoughts

Cardio Coach Volume Two is a downloadable mp3 workout that you can use with cardio workout equipment. I used it with my treadmill. The coach is Sean O'Malley and in Volume Two, Sean leads you through a 39 minute workout that takes you through various level and intensity.

You decide your own level and your intensity based on how hard you work.
There are four levels in the Cardio Coach program.
Level 1, Blue Zone, Heart Rate 55 to 65%
Level 2, Green Zone, Heart Rate 65 to 75%
Level 3, Orange Zone, Heart Rate 75 to 85%
Level 4, Red Zone, Above 85%
To get the most out of this workout you really need a heart rate monitor.
The workout breaks down as follows:
Warm up (4:13) - Level 1 into Level 2
Challenge 1 (7:49) - Four Level 3 Hills, Each hill is 1 minute with a 1 minute recovery in between.
Steady State 1 (1:50)- Level 2
Challenge 2 (6:30) 1 Level 3 Hill for 3 minutes, 30 Second recovery, 1 level 3 sprint for 3 minutes,
Steady State 2 (3:18) - Level 2
Challenge 3 (8:39) - 5 Level 4 Treks, each trek is 45 seconds with a 1 minute recover in between. (A trek is a hill and sprint combined)
Cool Down (4:59) - Level 2 into Level 1

I really love all the music except the cool down music. That is generally the case with most of the Cardio Coach Workouts. It is like when they get to the cool down music they go all sappy on you.

4 stars
