Movie Reviews of Get Moving - Walking for Weight Loss
Movie Review: A little bit more difficult than Leslie's
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been doing this walking workout and look forward to getting up in the mornings to do it. I compare it (I know, not fair!) a lot to Leslie Sansone's walk DVDs, as I have several of hers and do them frequently.
What I like about it:
* Madeleine's cueing is on point and informative. She's not as chipper as Leslie, but that's ok, too.
* I love that it's broken up into 3 walking segments and then a 4th section for stretching. I know some other reviewers didn't like this, but it allows me to decide how much time I want to spend exercising.
* I love Leslie Sansone and credit her DVDs for getting me off the couch, but this DVD is more intense and just what I need right now
* One thing I haven't liked about Leslie's walking DVDs is that she doesn't spend enough time stretching. This DVD has a nice cool down portion and ultra-relaxing stretching that I loved.
* I usually don't care about the scenery/setting, but this one is set in a lush, woodsy kind of setting that adds to the great atmosphere.
What I didn't like about it:
* The only thing I didn't like was that the exerciser in the DVD who is supposed to be the modifier, that is, the one doing an easier version of the exercisers, was working out just as hard - even harder at times - than the exerciser who was supposed to be the more advanced one. Not a big deal to me. I was following Madeleine anyway but I thought this was odd!
Enjoy!
Movie Review: GREAT DVD for Walking Indoors!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found I like this DVD better than any walking DVD I have done in the past. I really like how the walking is increased to a faster pace several times during each segment. Also, I like the brief exercises at the end of each segment. This DVD is NOT for sissy, it's harder than it looks but it really give you a GREAT workout! I highly recommend if you are bored with the other walking DVDs by other instructors. I wish there were more DVDs like this by Madeline Lewis!! She not CHATTY like some other instructors I know of.Movie Review: Love it, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this workout ,however if you fast forward or pause and try to hit the play button the dvd starts all over again (very irritating). Other than that, very easy to follow and I sure was sore the next day.Movie Review: Not for those just starting out.
Summary: 4 Stars
I personally enjoy this workout. I have been doing Leslie Sansone's walking DVD's and was looking for a variation. This workout is a great alternative for someone who has been exercising for a while. I really like that you can do just one 10-minute segment at a time if you wish.
If I were new to exercise, I would definitely be frustrated and discouraged trying this DVD. Even the lower intensity is challenging and it's definitely more difficult than Leslie's DVDs.
If you are just starting out try Leslie Sansone's DVDs first.
Movie Review: Excellent...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent workout especially if you are looking for something more aerobic than just a regular walking DVD like Leslie Sansone's Walking Off the Pounds. It's 40 minutes from start to finish and it goes by quickly. I used ankle weights (5 lbs total) and hand weights (4 lbs total) for added resistance to get a more effective cardio going. With other walking workouts, I have to use my weighted vest to get in my target zone of 145-160 but that was not needed with this workout. If you are looking for a simple walking routine, you will not want this DVD and need to stick with the WOTPs series. However, if you are looking for something more advanced but not too difficult to keep up with, this is an excellent choice. I would also recommend Walk Your Way Thin with Michelle Dozios. This DVD is also more aerobic with three different levels you can choose to follow. I also like Walk, Sculpt, and Tone with Debbie Rocker. This is a simple walking video but gets the heartrate up and the toning sections are terrific. One more favorite of mine is Walk Slim - 4 Fast Miles with Leslie Sansone. This is a far more intense WOTPs video than most of the others. I love all four of these workouts and I would rank Madeleine Lewis' right at the top as one of my favorites.
