Cardio with Awesome Music?? - Page 3

Fitmama · 06-23-11, 09:11 AM

I haven't tried Turbo Fire yet so I don't know what the music is like but Kelley Coffey Meyer uses some great music. I only have on of her cardio dvds - in Cardio Blast but the music is good. I also think the old Tae Bos are good and liked the music in Peak Fit Cardio Interval Burn too.

I may have missed it, but what about Christi Taylor? OK, so sometimes she's prone to boy bands and pop princesses (hey, it was the early 2000s), but Totally Hot Cardio (hi/lo) has some rockin' older hits ("Jeremiah was a bullfrog. Da da da. He was a good friend of mine..."). Her choreography is trickier than Amy's but she breaks down a lot more than Amy and cues better for those newer to the routine, so ultimately I find her stuff easier to learn and do compared to Amy. THC was the first Christi I tried; it's not her easiest, but if you stick with the modifiers for a bit (apologies in advance for the extraordinary number of hamstring curls and grapevines you'll do) and then tackle the full routine it's doable. The corresponding step workout is Totally Cool Step; there's a list of songs on the VF reviews (ETA: See the VF reviews for THC for a song listing, too).

Petra Kolber's Bootcamp Boogie - love the music on this one. Sometimes I just stop and start dancing to the music.

Zumba Exhilirate - love the music especially the Mix DVD. This set is so much more better then the last one they put out.

Thanks guys! I've written it all down. I'm going to try to acquire them through trade first, and then I'm sure I'll break down and buy some

.

I am SO grateful I'm able to do cardio lately, and I am just loving it. I'm in desperate need of just plain happy time, so I am focused now more than ever on doing the things I enjoy. Music make such an incredible difference!

Yup and yup! I also do workouts from the UK that have cool music, but you have to be able to play them on your player.

I LOVE the music on Seasun Z's Stepping Up, if you like complex choreo.
