** disclaimer, this overview and review is of products developed by my brother, Sean O’Malley, also known as the CardioCoach™. He has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today, Vista Magazine, Men’s Health Magazine, and even BellaOnline’s Health Editor, Monica Neave has repeatedly ‘promoted’ his workouts
What if you could find a way to workout with a world renowned fitness expert who:
- could meet with you at any time and any location
- tailored a workout to meet your unique needs
- offered motivation, inspiration, and that extra nudge just when you need it
- aligned incredibly powerful music to the intensity levels of the workout allowing your body to completely connect and fall into rhythm with the beat
- allowed you to choose what type of equipment you wanted to use for your workout
- and offered all of this with a low carbon footprint, meaning, all you had to do was download the workouts to your MP3 player/iPod and run, walk, bike, stride, step or even hike while being coached the entire time
This is the beauty of the CardioCoach™ workouts! I was reminded of how truly motivating they are the other day when I decided to go for a run following a relatively hectic few weeks. There was a new dusting of snow and a break in the below zero temps - it was stunning outside so I powered on my MP3 and loaded Volume 7, his latest and greatest workout.
The first few minutes of my run consisted of a warm-up where I just took it nice and slow while listening to his words of wisdom about balance, and a nice reminder that this time was for me as he encouraged me to: “breathe easy, silence the chatter, dump the clutter and enjoy the now”.
I fell into the workout mesmerized by the music, his resonating voice, and the stunning scenery. I kept pace with the beat and followed his voice prompts as he took me into a series of hill and sprint challenges over the next 30 minutes. Although Volume 7 was designed to take an hour, Sean has created it in such a way that you can skip forward or back depending on your preference. Ideally you want to complete the whole workout though!
The other advantage of the workout is you determine what effort you can put into your sprints, your hill-work, or even your rests. I find that what I can do today isn’t necessarily what my body, mind or spirit can give me tomorrow. Each day our ‘perceived levels of exertion’ changes. Since Sean is guiding you through the workout, you have the ability to determine what level of effort is best for you given where you are at that moment. It is truly a workout that is designed to work with you naturally, exactly what you need when you need it.
“This first challenge is bittersweet - your energy and mood today will determine which is the bitter and which is the sweet”. Mostly I find his workouts a perfect combination of both. I usually wind up emailing him or calling him after I lay limp on the floor following an appropriate and warranted bum kicking, however, the results are oh so sweet!
If you would like to find out more about this workout series that is sold in more than 90 countries, is highly acclaimed by top athletes and weekend warriors alike, and provides inspiration and motivation for your body, mind and soul, please check out his web site at http://www.cardiocoach.com… and don’t forget to tell him that his ‘Sistah’ sent you!
