Blast Away the Pounds - Indoor Walk

Denise Austin
Year Released: 2005

Categories: Walking Aerobics


This video has set with two arches in the back with views of the desert showing through them. The room is Southwesty looking with a redish tile floor and light terra cotta colored walls with wood on the lower 1/3 of the wall.

There are 4 background exercisers that stay throughout the workout. They appear in be in their 30s+.

The Easy walk includes "sidewalk" which is really a double side step with arms, knee lifts andleg lifts.

Fatburning Mile is a little more intense with side steps with kicks (I liked those),kneelifts, walking with punches and side taps.

In the Power Walk and Tone Denise uses weights. She gives a 1-3 lb recommendation. I found the music annoying. I also didn't like the hold the weights at your side with the elbows sticking out. It was uncomfortable. She covers triceps, biceps, back rowing, and overhead presses.

The stretch part has Denise alone. She uses a chair and gives no modification for not using a chair. A personal pet peeve is that if I need a chair, it should be noted on the package.

I think this video works the thighs more than Leslie tends to. I'll probably use it a few times to put the moves in my mind so that I can add them into my Leslies and give this to someone. It is a beginner level other than the fact that Denise can't cue so one is behind while doing it and working to figure out what she's doing.

Instructor Comments:
Denise doesn't tell you what is coming up very well. She's her usual perky self and usual lack of cuing well self.
