What is Cardio Coach™?

Cardio Coach™ is a newly patented and unique "Tool" designed to assist you while doing cardiovascular exercise. Set to specially scored music, your Cardio Coach™ will guide, motivate and inspire you in a one-on-one environment where you set the pace. Currently, Cardio Coach™ is an audio file that you can play in a portable CD or MP3 player but new workouts will consist of video options as well.

Who is Cardio Coach™ for?

Cardio Coach™ is for anybody that meets the basic minimum requirements for exercising. To see if you meet these requirements, take our Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). While Cardio Coach™ workouts are designed using a basic interval structure (moderate to high intensity followed by lower intensity bouts of exercise), they are also designed to accommodate all fitness levels. Cardio Coach™ accomplishes this by using a patented methodology for instructing the participant during exercise.

What do I need to start using Cardio Coach™?

Before you begin using Cardio Coach™, there are a few things you will need to do. First, Cardio Coach™ recommends that you get clearance from your health care provider. Second, you will need to go through the Quick Start Guide on the website to learn a few basic steps of getting started.

Will Cardio Coach™ help me lose weight?

Cardio Coach™ is a supplemental tool that is designed to help you get more out of your workout sessions. The workouts utilize interval training which can make workouts appear much shorter in duration while exercising at higher intensities. This will not only help you to lose unwanted body fat, but it will also increase your metabolism (giving you more energy!) and more importantly, using Cardio Coach™ will become a motivational factor in bringing you back time and time again which is the major factor in your fitness success.. Consistency!!

I'm not in very good shape.. can I still use Cardio Coach™?

Cardio Coach™ is designed for anybody who meets at least the minimum requirements for beginning an exercise program (click here to find out if you do). Cardio Coach™ uses "Levels of Perceived Exertion" to help you find the best intensity for you and your fitness level. This ensures that you are getting the best workout for you. For more on the Cardio Coach™ Levels, visit the Quick Start Guide.

I don't have access to stationary exercise equipment, can I still use Cardio Coach™?

YES! Cardio Coach™ can be used while running or walking. To change up your different levels, you can get creative by changing your speed or incorporating upper body movements with hand weights.

How often should I use the Cardio Coach™ workout?

This is completely dependent on you! The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that you exercise 3-5 days per week for 20-60 minutes of continual activity. To keep your mental edge, Cardio Coach™ recommends that you incorporate different types of exercise into your weekly routine. For instance:

• Monday: Cardio Coach™ Volume 1 on the stationary bike
• Tuesday: Yoga at the health club
• Wednesday: Strength training and 20 min. of walking on the treadmill
• Thursday: Cardio Coach™ Volume 2 on the elliptical
• Friday: Strength training and stretching
• Saturday: Bike ride out doors for 1 hour
• Sunday: Yoga and light treadmill workout

All in all, Cardio Coach™ supports any and all activity as a contributing factor to achieving a life full of energy. Cardio Coach™ will be incorporating a music download section that will offer you the opportunity to download your own preferences of music, allowing you to make your own mixes.

What's the difference between the Cardio Coach™ workouts?

Each new Cardio Coach™ workout will have different music and different interval structure. Look for future workout release to have new Coaches as well. Having new workouts allows for your body and mind to over come training plateaus, keeping your workouts fresh.
