CardioCoach is truly awesome -- has completely changed my outlook on cardio workouts.

I'm a big fan of Cardio Coach too!

I had no idea that there were so many workouts available! I'm happy turning on some music and dancing but those routines sound interesting

I've used a couple of the iTrain workouts (specifically, the treadmill and elliptical ones) and found them to be great for intervals.

I got all excited about the iAmplify site, but was very disappointed. I downloaded the "Cycling Workout for Pros" by Matthew Reyes. He's certainly no Sean O'Malley (the Cardio Coach)!

But here's the tricky bit - the downloads on iAmplify include instructional photos, but they're about the size of a postage stamp and very indistinct. This isn't a problem for the "Cycling Workout for Pros" - by the time you're a pro, if you don't know the different hand positions to use on a bike you've got problems - but it could make it impossible to do the Pilates workout using a medicine ball that I wanted to try. Unfortunately, you can't see the photos until after you've paid for the download. Oh well...

I'd add jogTunes.com to the list!

Bob

Thank you Diet-Blog and Hergrace for your kind mention of jogTunes.com. I'm also publishing a 30 minute "run-to" music-paced running podcast called The JogTunesIndie Podcast. It's available at JogTunesIndie.com. I'd love feedback. Please tell me what you think.

ipod workouts never sounded so good
Marina kicks butt

Jim

Jamcore training added.

Sandra

I love all of this info, the only problem is that many of the links don't go anywhere, they come back to this same page. Is that supposed to be like that.
Thanks

Susanna

LOVE Cardio Coach!

Before you know it, you are through an excellent cardio workout and drenched in sweat. Time flies and the positive messages O'Mally gives work on your subconscious long after is over.

Great Motivator!

My club in the bay area just installed a kiosk from this company MYE and it let's you download programs onto an MP3 player instantly. It's is fantastic! Programs from iTrain, Podfitness and Marina Online. I hope they add Cardio Coach too!

There are cycling, running, and strength workouts (including some free ones) at http://podrenaline.com/

martica - you can get Marina's workouts direcly from her website at

She has hundreds of mp3 workouts for walking, running, treadmills, ellipticals, body conditioning, and lots of music - songs arranged by beats per minute as well as full length nonstop music workouts.

JamCore is now launching MyFitTribe. Same great ipod workouts but with a strong community vibe and a whole new line of videos and content sections. http://www.myfittribe.com The site is in beta now but will be in full launch soon
