Walk On: 5 FAT Burning Miles

I needed low impact exercises as I have knee problems. I've enjoyed doing these classes in my front room. There are options to play only the bits you want, so you can chop and change to keep things interesting. I've been doing them for a few months and haven't got bored yet. Love that there's an older lady (sorry Debbie) doing the exercises too.

Jessica has created another GREAT walking workoutDVD.Its for all of us out there who don't want to do insanity, but choose to honour our bodies and enjoy our workouts. She has totally converted me to this way of thinking.Jessica is joined once again by her Mom Debbie (low impact) and friend Beth (high impact), which gives you the option to build up if you're a beginner or get a good sweat on if you're advanced.There is a 5 minute warm up followed by five walks that are each roughly a mile:Brain Booster Walk (15 minutes): I LOVED this one as it made your brain work along with your body. The walking itself was basic but the moves were unique/varied.Belly, Buns & Thighs Walk (15 minutes): Just as it's described! Mini squats, torso twisting moves and side steps that target those areas. If you've done her other walks of this nature you know what you're getting into.Power Posture Walk (15 Minutes): This was great. Jessica focuses on your upper back and shoulder muscles that help with your posture.Turbo Charged Walk (13 Minutes): This is a little like her low impact HIIT workouts which I love ! It's fast paced and I did it using the low impact version but it includes squat jumps, skiers, jogging, etc. There is a lot packed into these 13 minutes! However her mum always provide a low impact option. SO no panic !Boogie Down Walk (15 Minutes): This was my probably my least favorite of the walks. I loved the dance party walk on her 15 minute fat blasts disc and this didn't come close as far as the fun factor goes. I'd do this one just to get my steps in but will pop in the dance walk when I'm looking for a good time. But still a good basic easy 1 mile to do.There are TWO bonus sections"Strong Feet and Ankles" (15 minutes) or "Strong Knees and Hips" (15 minutes)Both of which I am pleased with as I have had surgery on my hip a couple of years ago and love the stretching and mobility side, which is exactly what my physio recommends.Overall I love JESSICA anyway, this is a great additional to her family of DVD's. GREAT JOB JESSICA!.Please also check out her FREE fitness videos on her YouTube site JESSICASMITHTV and join the revolution. - WALK ON !

I have a number of Jessica Smith's dvds. I find she is so enthusiastic and easy to follow and she pitches the exercises just right for my ability. This dvd allows you to mix and match the miles you want to do. Each mile is split into 15 minute sections. The great thing about the dvd is that you can pre select what you want to ahead of time and it runs on without having to go back to the menu. Most of the exercises are low impact, there are some in the turbo charged walk which is more challenging and gets your heart rate up. Altogether a fantastic dvd for beginners and intermediates.

Okay, so i got this DVD along with 2 others from a different presentor (Gina Boyer)? After going through this DVD first 2 sessions i much prefer Jessicas DVD. Not only is it low impact, but its fun and i really did enjoy doing the first two sessions (2 miles). I have a few joint issues so wanted a low impact but still high energy workout. You dont need any equipment, but you do need space. I have found that you really need to make sure you have a clear area in front and back of you when you are in front of the TV. Some of the fast pace walks involve a lot of moment so make sure you dont trip over. Along with the main presenter (Jessica) there are 2 others where you can follow more basic session or more complex. There is a timer on the screen and you can choose which session to do aout of the five, they get harder as you go in. The brain workout is very fun and dont forget the cooldown. Will probably get another one of this ladies DVD as she is so personable and very easy to follow the instructions. Anyone with joint issues will find this DVD great to work with, do a few times a week and in no time you may get to the end of the 5 miles. Each Session last around 10 minutes (i think) the timer comes up when you get to around 7 minutes left. Well worth it..

I wanted a change from Leslie Sansone and reading all the reviews, this looked spot on. I can do a Leslie 5 mile walk and keep my heart rate at a perfect cardio level pretty much all they way through, doing high or low impact to get it to the right level. I found this exercise program too “fiddly” as in I never found I could maintain a decent heart rate or get into a rhythm. I’ve done it a few times now and mid way through the last time I got so bored I turned it off and put Leslie in. I really wanted to get on with this but I prefer Leslie Sansone’s great music, simple steps and the ability to really get into a good rhythm. Sorry, just not for me.
