Tony Little's Fit Trax: Cardio Funk - Tony Little

Despite the reputation of some exercise CDs have for featuring boring or dated music, Tony Little's Fit Trax: Cardio Funk has both a tightly structured program and fun dance, hip-hop, and funk tracks to back it up. The tracks are broken down into warm-up, beginner, intermediate, advanced, super-advanced, and cool-down portions; each section of the album features some fairly hip songs, ranging from Us3's "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" in the beginner part of the workout to les Rhythmes Digitales' "Jacques Your Body" in the advanced portion to Fatboy Slim's "Rockafeller Skank" in the super-advanced section. Though there are also a few ringers, such as Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" and Eyes Cream's "Open Up Your Mind (Warp 9 Radio Edit)," overall the collection is energetic and entertaining enough to keep energy and motivation high over the course of its 73-minute length. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
