Newly patented fitness product gives every body a personal trainer
by Anonymous

April 30, 2004 -- The audio workouts provide a cutting-edge, fresh approach to fitness. Until now, exercisers could hire personal trainers to push them through their strength training routines, but were on their own when it came to doing their cardiovascular exercise. Now, with the Cardio Coach™ workouts, available on CD or as MP3 downloads, exercisers have their personal trainer alongside them the entire workout---to guide, motivate and inspire them to success---all while exercising on their favorite stationary exercise machine.

Sean O’Malley, founder and president of VO2 Maxed™, and the “voice behind the coach” on the first two volumes, designed the workouts to overcome traditional exercise program shortfalls. Cardio Coach™ combines the standard method of exertion measurement, monitoring of the heart rate, with a method known as “perceived levels of exertion.” This unique partnership allows the exerciser to control the intensity of the workout based on how he or she feels---an important factor in exercise motivation.

Exercisers of all fitness levels can utilize the vast variety of cardiovascular equipment on the market and get a great workout while using the Cardio Coach™ Guided Workouts. Individuals can also take advantage of the Cardio Coach™ workouts while walking, running or jogging. The Cardio Coach™ workouts utilize “challenges” or “intervals," which are bouts of high intensity exercise followed by lower intensity “rest” periods. By incorporating interval training into a workout routine, a participant can increase metabolism, thus lowering body fat and increasing lean muscle tissue. A bonus: interval training keeps workouts shorter, which means less time spent exercising with better results.

O’Malley’s goal is to educate and inspire exercisers to put their hearts first, from a health and fitness standpoint and a human standpoint. Sean’s key philosophy begins with the understanding that no fitness product will help until the mind is strong enough to utilize it. While cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of both men and women, statistics show that even knowing the facts, the majority of Americans are still not exercising. O’Malley plans to change that by strengthening the minds of his customers.

Much like Tae-Bo, participants are drawn to the genuine, spiritual and gentle---but motivating---approach of Sean O’Malley. The soundtrack, originally scored music by renowned musician Jeff Order, is dynamic, powerful, and high-energy. And the product is for everyone, those looking for extra motivation, and those needing a reason to keep exercising.

Paige Waehner, a top reviewer for the leading internet website, About.com, comments:

“Sean O'Malley has outdone himself with his latest Cardio Coach CD workout. . . .This Cardio Coach™ CD is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to revive their cardio workouts. The music is fun and Sean motivates you to really push yourself. Pros: Funky music keeps you motivated and Sean's verbal cues push you to a higher intensity. Cons: None! 5 stars!”VO2 Maxed™, dedicated to the creation of quality fitness products, released Volume 1 in January 2001 and, with the newly approved patent, plans to produce new CDs regularly and incorporate an interactive component that will provide health and fitness information directly to users through use of the CD and website.

Both CD sets are available on Amazon.com and the workouts can be purchased on the Cardiocoach.com website as either compact disc or MP3 download for portable music players. Volume 2 contains an added bonus of the instrumental version of the workout.

Regarding the Cardio Coach™ Guided Workout Series, O'Malley says, “This is just the beginning. The first two CDs were created to show people what was possible. Now that our patent has gone through and we’ve created some critical partnerships, you can count on the shape of this country changing in the next few years.”

Volume 3 is now in production and is comprised of originally scored music by Scott Rockenfield, drummer for the well-known rock group, Queensryche.
