I did my first Cardio Coach!

A couple of days ago we had our new elliptcal delivered, a Sole E35. (Her name is Foxy, btw!;)) Looks great, runs great, and I have been so excited to join the ranks of CC fans. I downloaded V1, a huge accomplishment for this non-techie. Took me a bit but I eventually found it on my mp3.

I did enjoy it, but I was having some mp3 "user errors"!:p It kept going back to the beginning so I had to find each chapter every time. I need to sit and figure it out some more. The music was motivating and Sean's voice was um......yeah. Love it. That's all I can say about that!:D I normally only run when I'm being chased by someone with a knife. Since that's never happened, you now know that I do not run! I can Imax3 with the best of them but I cannot run. Well, call me Forrest, cause Sean had me running! I'm looking forward to doing this one again and getting even more out of it!

Cynthia, You were right - I was SWEATY! :D

After I did V1 I just jogged/ran on it for a while. I listened to some Beyonce, Missy, Kelis, 50 cent, Wyclef Jean, Tupac, Violent Femmes, and oh my word - my sister had Wrecks-N-Effect on there too! Do any of you remember the song Rump Shaker! LOL!!!!! My husband is MORTIFIED I listen to that stuff!:D

I had so much fun tonight! Thanks to everybody for all of the enabling!
 
Congrats, Kate!!! You will want them all! CC 6 is my all-time favorite. The evens I like better than the odds for some reason.

I just got my elliptical in July....LOVE IT!!! Enjoy. :)
 
Welcome to Cardio Coach Land!!

CC threads always pop out at me. :D :p

Yeah, um , I'm an avowed cardio hater -- no one can get me to move it like Sean O'Malley! :eek:
 
Thanks Melanie!

I'm most excited about the ellip. because it gives DH some cardio to do. He has no problem hitting the weights but cardio hasn't been his thing and somehow I can't convince him to Imax with me!:p He did the ellip. last night while I did SJP. It was nice to have him down there with me.

Michele, You are always so helpful on the CC threads! Do you have a favorite?

Oh gosh, I know it sounds like a cop out, but I TRULY love them all. Sometimes my mood will determine my favorite on a particular day. When I need extra motivation I reach for Vol 6. Sean is SO upbeat in that one, and it's a killer! Volumes 3 through 7 are the ones I tend to reach for the most, although I use all of them. Volume 8 is my least used CC w/o. It's all hills and really tough. You know you're in good shape when you finish that workout!

Geez! I was just looking at the website. He has a sale going on until January 2 @ 11:59 PM -- buy 2 downloads, get 2 free! Apparently it doesn't include CD's. If you take advantage of the sale, I would recommend Vols 4 through 7!! ;)
 
Oh! But Volume 2 is so good....when Sean tells us that a tribe eagerly waits your arrival at the top of the hill......and you have to beat Lance to top of the hill........oooooohhhhhhhhhwwwwwweeeeeeeee!!!

My DH doesn't exercise at ALL. Poor guy. :eek::eek:

Oh yeah, I LOVE Vol 2!!! See what I mean!? LOL!!! With the current sale you could get ALL of them for the price of 4! :D
 
I KNEW I should have skipped this thread! Now I that I know about this sale I need to go buy more CC. Drat! :p
 
Kate, your post made me decide to do my vol. 1 this morning! I hadn't done a Cardio Coach in SO long! And I agree about the enablers part...can you beat that special?! I've got vol. 1, 2, 4, 7. I think I'll zip on over there today to order 3, 5, 6, and 8! Definitely makes the elliptical a more interesting workout:D
 
:eek::D:eek::D
i just bought 2 thru 8......

shhhhhhhhhh.....dont tell dh!:p
actually, he could care less. he just likes to give me a hard time about my fitness addiction!:)
 
:D :D :D

You guys should get the Press Play workout, too! It's not included in the sale because Sean gifted it to the Choose Living Foundation, but it's a GREAT workout, and then you can join us for Press Play Saturday (a group of us do the workout on the last Saturday of each month)!
 
I agree, don't forget CC Press Play! I thought I could do without it, but it is a MUST HAVE!!

See ya (all) in the workout :D

I did 6 this morning and kept thinking, 'Wow, how come a lot of this doesn't seem as familiar to me as all the others.' It was an excellent work out. I usually try to do them all in a row (1 on Monday, 2 on Wednesday, 3 on Friday...), usually starting from 1 or 8 (working backwards). Evidently, there have been more holes in my cardio workouts than I realized, if I get to #6 so rarely I hardly remember it. Hmm. Well, it's a new year so, from now on, all workouts are a "GO", no matter what.
 
Kate... I just did CC for the first time (on TM) last night too! I loooovvvveee it! I did #2. I was so amazed how quickly the time went by and how exhilirating the workout was! I bought CC# 2,3,4.
 
Sean's voice is positively DREAMY... I think I could run to the end of the earth were he coaching me there... Now I know why I take COLD showers after CC!!
 
I did cc 1,2,3 this past week, I liked the challenges in #3 but not the music, I prefer the music in 1 and 2. I am going to take advantage of the sale and get 5 through 8. should I get 4 instead of one of the four I am planning on purchasing?
