[.ca] Prevention Magazine: Walk Your Way Slim

Should be Jump Around Your Way Slim ;):
I was looking to add a walking video to my collection for variety. I was very disappointed with this one. If you're coordinated, can do aerobics with no problem, don't need advanced cuing, this could be for you! There's 3 women that each do a different level of the same exercise which is cool. But if you're like me, you need basic steps and no fancy footwork, just add some easy side stepping, kicks, knee lifts and need warnings-- pass it. I like Michelle, I have one of her other DVD's for Pilates, but I couldn't do this one comfortably. She didn't even explain any of her fancy movements. I'll stick with Leslie Sansone. And funny thing, one of Michelle's exercisers is also in Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds! :)

I LOVED IT:
i loved this workout!! It made me sweat like crazy and i loved how they split the workout into three levels \obeginners, intermediate, and advanced\c in the same screen. THe workout was INTENSE. You can NOT not sweat. The program is very well-planned from going to a intense and then a little less intense and back again to help stablize your heart rate. Michelle is an awesome instructor and isn't annoying at all and is a terrific cue-er. This workout will take you less than 2 workouts to get the moves. THey're simple yet really fun and will get your heart rate up. This workouit will be one of my favorites for a loong time to come!

Great workout:
I think this is a great workout for any fitness level. I fluctuate between level 1 and 2. I did not have the bonus book in my video either. I went to www.prevention.com and emailed them that I did not receive the bonus book. I received it in the mail within 1 week.

Fast-Paced Workout:
"The weather is always fine inside." ~Michelle Dozois Michelle Dozois has a ton of energy and if you are used to the Walk Away the Pounds workouts, this is going to take you to the next level. In fact, this might be more like "aerobics" than "walking." If you are looking for a challenge, you will find three levels to choose from. There are "power moves" that raise the intensity. During the cooldown segment the music is not choreographed correctly and continues at a hyper pace while your body is moving into a more relaxed pace. It just doesn't feel right. Will you burn fat while doing this workout? You bet! It is intense, there are three levels to choose from and you can alternate between the levels because at times all three levels are shown at the same time in a split screen format. My body broke out into a full-body sweat and I could feel the burn during most of the workout. My DVD case didn't have the "bonus booklet" they advertise on the cover. Disadvantages of this workout: TWISTY KNEE MOVES If you have any knee issues at all, avoid this workout. If "Walk Away the Pounds" is coordination level 1-3, this is coordination level 6-10. While you don't need any equipment, this is more like aerobics and I'd recommend this for intermediate to advanced exercise video veterans. Fast paced, high energy, lots of creativity and a real challenge. ~TheRebeccaReview.com

Fabulous:
Just got this DVD. It does not include the booklet it advertises on the cover. But boy ! did I get a workout ! Watching and choosing from three levels presented at the same time is a definite plus. The cueing is fine and there is no pointless chitchat. The moves are not really walking but easy enough for all of us to follow. For any age, for any form, for any endurance, this DVD really works !
