Did you zone out during your last cardio workout to thoughts of work, the to-do list from hell, family issues, or to all the aches and pains that you were feeling? It's not easy being present during cardio when you're tired, bored, and unchallenged but Cardio Coach Volume 5 turns your daily cardio grind into the athletic victory that you so long to experience. "There's no yesterday, no tomorrow, there's only right now" says Sean O'Malley during one of several interval challenges that will push you beyond what you imagined your body could handle.

Cardio Coach Volume 5 is by far the most challenging of all the guided cardio workouts in the series. It starts with a warm-up and steady state set to driving techno rock tribal music. After the steady you progress to three 4 minute hills that are incredibly intense but set to awesome imagery and powerful coaching that will move you physically and emotionally. Just when you think it can't get more challenging and that your body can't do it, Sean streams into your ear and focuses your effort to help you reach your true potential. After the first challenge there's a second steady and a second challenge consisting of six one minute sprints with one minute rests in between. If you're not already sweating big time by now, then prepare to get drenched. When I was finished with the 2nd challenge one of my co-workers actually brought me a towel and offered to get me some water. I was totally in the zone at that point and didn't even realize how hard I was working out because I was too busy having fun!

After these two segments there is a third steady, plus a third challenge consisting of both sprints and climbs set to cool tribal drumming. You'll get one minute rests in between intervals with soothing waterfall sound effects and Sean's comforting encouragement as well. All this is followed by a cool-down, and stretch. As usual the workout can be completely customized so if you're not ready to take on the entire thing initially, you can work up to it or skip around to create your own workout.

No other cardio mp3 or cardio cd workout compares to this one or any of the others in the Cardio Coach series and volume 5 serves up an incredible interval challenge that burns tons of calories. That combined with Todd Washburn's awesome music and Sean's powerful coaching will transform you from a hamster on a wheel to an extraordinary fitness warrior full of endless energy.
