Fit Trax Cardio Funk

This was an impulse buy at Borders and turned out to be a keeper. I wasn’t sure if Tony would be coaching (a la Cardio Coach Sean). Tony just does a brief introduction at the top and then it is all music. All music by the ORIGINAL artists!

I don’t think I would classify the music as funk, more like club-style, dance stuff. I played it on the way home from the store and had to hop on the elliptical when I got home to try it out. I like it! (But then, I like this style of music. My dream workout would have true funk/Old School music.)

The transitions between songs is smooth and keeps the beat going.
