Music reviews of Skinnysongs
Music Review: Bouncy songs for personal workouts - more needed for aerobics class
Rating: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed these catchy songs and they are inspiring me to work out more. The music is fun and vibrant.
Most of the lyrics are really inspiring, for example:
"You see I'm a superhero, with powers of epic might
I use wills of steel, at every meal, to control my every bite"
and
"Lifting weights, squats and crunches, I've made myself quite buff
Stronger than a locomotive, now I'm powerful and tough"
They are great for a personal workout, but for an aerobics class here's some suggestions as I'm hoping for Release 2.0:
1. Mix the songs so they flow into one another with no gaps
2. I found the first 5 songs in the range of 100-120 beats/minute. This may be fine for step or body sculpting or muscle ballet - but I'd like them to go up to 130-140 beats/minute for an aerobics or fitness dance workout.
3. Start with slower songs, get faster then slow down - so there's a 10-minute warm up and 10-minute cool down.
4. Cut the swearing - Who The Hell Is That? - one helluva trip - church aerobic classes won't like it - and it prevents me from sending it to some friends - it offends me - maybe it offends others.
5. Make the CD longer - I'd like at least 70 minutes with a 45-minute chunk of continuous music for an hour class that has 15-minutes stretch/floor exercise. Then the rest can be added optionally - maybe a 15-minute chunk and a 10-minute chunk. Might even consider doing a 15-minute chunk of cooldown relaxation songs that reflect on the skinnysongs themes.
6. Put the times of the songs on the CD cover. (Not so important with iTunes, but nice to have).
One hopes Heidi Roizen will give us more songs that focus also on other reasons people want to get fit - health, special occasions (weddings, proms), being shocked by friend's death and feeling better.
