Vol. 2 of Shape Fitness Music's Walk Plus workout music series features a set of Hi-NRG hits and remixed club favorites, continuously mixed and arranged in a beats-per-minute arc optimal for activities like walking, kickboxing, and cardio. Beginning with DJ Miko's 135-bpm club version of the 4 Non Blondes one-off "What's Up," it moves through tracks like the Culture Beat classic "Mr. Vain" (136 bpm) and Jocelyn Enriquez' freestyle-influenced "Do You Miss Me?" (138 bpm) before bringing it down a notch with La Bouche and a light, 130-bpm mix of Amber's "This Is Your Night." Depending on your taste, the new wave faves of Walk Plus' first volume might be more resonant. But Walk Plus, Vol. 2 is certainly no slouch in the workout music department. ~ Johnny Loftus minimize
