Get Moving: Walking for Weight Loss

Year Released: 2004

Categories: Walking Aerobics


this is a really good cardio workout for beginners! the moves are simple, madeleine cues everything very well and also gives tips on proper form. also the workout is done in a pretty outdoor setting.

madeleine choreographed kathy smiths (and others) workouts for years and even has one of kathy smith's background exercisers with her in this one (robin).
there is another woman in the background too and between the 3 of them they demonstrate beginner, intermediate and more advanced versions of all of the
moves.

personally i found this workout to be pretty easy but it was a good one for me to do today as i havent worked out much this week and needed something gentle to get back in the swing.
i think that this workout is much easier than michelle dozois' 'walk your way slim' so if you are looking for something that is more at the intermediate level then get 'slim' instead.
yet 'get moving' is more
strenuous than leslie sansone's walking workouts and has a much lower yawn factor than leslie's workouts as well.

madeleine's walking workout is broken into four 10 minute sections and the dvd will allow you to do the four sections together or you can program the
disc to do the sections in a different order, even programming it to do one or two sessions twice in one workout.

at the end of each aerobic session, madeleine does a bit of strength training for the lower body... squats and lunges... to which you can add dumbells if you like. at the end of the 30 min workout, she does a 10 min stretch session.

Instructor Comments:
madeleine is a very pleasant instructor... it is a shame that she was
behind the scenes so much for so many years.
