Fast-Paced Workout, May 7, 2004
This review is from: Prevention Magazine - Walk Your Way Slim (DVD)
"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.

Loved this, March 11, 2004
This review is from: Prevention Magazine - Walk Your Way Slim (DVD)
I'm English, and I wanted to add some American fitness DVDs to my collection; this was one of those I randomly chose. It's great, it really is. Another reviewer suggests it is more like aerobics than walking, and I guess there is some truth in that (though nothing is complicated or dancy), but it is an EXCELLENT low impact, high sweat programme that is loads of fun. I exercise at least 6 times a week so I do the highest of the three levels on offer but the other two are good as well, and make this suitable for most ages and fitness levels. I'd imagine it would be really satisfying as a beginner to start at level one and work your way up. The cueing is first rate, and the exercisers, including the trainer, all look as though they are having a good time too. I bought one of Leslie Sansone's programmes, and while that was okay I didn't like the praise-heaven peppiness and didn't feel I got a serious cardio workout from it (one for light days); this, on the other hand,is cheerful without being annoying and definitely burns off that fat. Excellent value, too.

Great workout, June 27, 2004

This review is from: Prevention Magazine - Walk Your Way Slim (DVD)
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.
