DVD Reviews of Get Moving - Walking for Weight LossDVD Review: Good Alternative for Lesile Sanson Fans Summary: 5 StarsI am a Leslie fan and have many of her dvd's but find them a little too easy. This video is great, it is the right amount of walking with extra umph. The moves are just a little different to keep it from being boring and it got my heart rate up so I felt great, not exhausted. I actually borrowed it from the library and liked it so much I bought it. If you like Leslie's "boosted" portions of her dvd's you will love this.
DVD Review: Very effective walking workout Summary: 5 StarsI absolutely love this DVD. It gets my heart rate up and i sweat alot and feel like my body gets a great workout. She also has a whole ten minute stretching cool down which leaves your body feeling amazing. I do not believe anyone can go wrong with this DVD.
DVD Review: This was a pleasant surprise Summary: 5 StarsI got this DVD not expecting much. I work out a lot 5-6 times a week. I do all sorts of excercises and started adding some of Leslie Sansone's videos just to top off a harder work out. I saw this and thought I would give it a try. I have never heard of Madeline Lewis but I must say this was a good work out.
This is slightly more advanced than leslie's but not majorly high impact. I like that she does do toning with actual weights as opposed to belts.
The video has 3 10 minute workouts and a 10 minute stretch. It would have been nice to have made it a good 40 minute workout but you can customize the workout to do one of the 10 nminute sessions on repeat.
As mentioned before this will get your heart pumping a little harder than Leslie's videos and one improvement I would make is that the creators of this DVD could have put in how many miles you have worked out like Leslie's but on those days you want low impact but a little more challenge this is it.
DVD Review: Good for a gentle workout, low caloric burn, great instruction & scenery Summary: 3 StarsSETTING:
First I must say this is probably the best setting I've seen in my fitness dvds...and I have a huge collection I've amassed over the past few years to get in a daily workout. It is a gorgeous park with willow trees, gardens, gentle lighting, and they workout under a veranda (I know it's a park because the camera panned to their feet once and you saw engraved names and phrases in the bricks like parks sell!) It could be someone's backyard oasis otherwise. Very nice. You don't realize the setting is important til you get to experience such a nice one. If you are buying this to substitute outdoor walks on rainy days, you'll have the gorgeous outdoors now indoors and if you are buying it because you always workout indoors, you get a nice change of pace. It reminds me exactly of the imaginary fantasy setting my Wii game "AE Sports Active" has in their background!
CUEING & INSTRUCTION:
The cueing and instruction is simple to follow and directions are clear.
IN ADDITION TO CARDIO:
There is a tiny (and I do mean tiny)bit of strength training thrown in to the indoor walking moves and there is some nice standing ab working via twists she does during movement
QUALITY:
It's highly professionally filmed excercise dvd but the background music is more "soothing spa-like" than "upbeat and energetic" as is typical to get you revved...but that may be your taste...just pointing it out neither as a negative or a positive.
CALORIES BURNED MEASUREMENT:
That said, the caloric burn wasn't very high at all in comparison to my other dvds. I wear a bodybugg to measure my daily caloric burn and I mention this only so you know what I say is based on scientific measurement rather than percieved exertion. Because of this monitoring, I can measure exactly how many calories I burn in any workout as well as calories burned per minute with the highest accuracy...it was quite low in comparison to my other fitness dvds as well as my other walking dvds. However, if you are just starting out, this means that it's a great way to build up to a fitness routine without strain and it's also good when even more advanced exercisers would like a gentle day after a few days of more intense workouts.
TWO ALTERNATIVES THAT BURN MORE CALORIES:
1. If you like this you should like Kathy Smith's Matrix method walking dvd...a bit higher energy, some really fun moves, and higher calories burned. Although I am not fond of all her dvds, she rocks on the indoor walking ones.
2.Also try Leslie Sansone's walking dvds. She gets some nice strength training in and also has higher energy and higher calories burned in her walking dvds.
AN ALTERNATIVE THAT BURNS ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF CALORIES:
If what you are looking for is a gentle walking workout with less energy and less caloric burn and love this one and want one pretty much just like it, try "Denise Austin's Blast Away the Pounds: Indoor Walk"
CONCLUSION:
Although the lower calorie burn on this one means I typically pair it with another workout later in the day on the days I use this one, it's still a nice light workout that offers excellent cueing and the best setting I've seen to make the workout a positive experience. Good clear and safe instructions so it's perfect for beginners but still interesting enough for someone more advanced.
DVD Review: Too strenuous for me Summary: 3 StarsI bought this thinking it would be a good walking workout - but I feel like it is closer to an aerobic excercise class! I only used the DVD once and put it up.
