Walk And Jog

Year Released: 2001

Categories: Walking Aerobics


This is an interval style cardio workout for the beginner/intermediate level. Collage ranks this as intermediate. The workout is 32 minutes long with a 5 minute warm up and a 2 minute cool down. Leslie states that if you keep pace with the music, that you walk/jog 2.5 miles in 30 minutes (12 mph).

After the warm up you begin with 3 minutes of walking, followed by 2 minute jog intervals. The choreography is simple. Leslie’s traditional walk moves are in this workout - side steps, knee-ups, front kicks, tap outs, and side lunges. She incorporates some arm movements for added intensity. During the jog intervals, you jog forwards and backwards and in place. She also does a kick (sort of like a skip). She gives constant reminders for posture.

Leslie is joined by 4 other participants. Mary Kay, keeps her workout low impact. The set is nice and well-lit. The fact that it was uncluttered was very important to me. Leslie’s music choice was better in this workout than most of her other workouts (even some vocals!).

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. I am an intermediate exerciser. I find that I can kick the intensity up in this workout by exaggerating the movements. The only disappointment is the lack of a stretch at the end of the workout. Leslie comments about how fast the 30 minutes went by, and I have to agree.

Instructor Comments:
Very friendly, chatty instructor. She seemed less chatty in this one though - maybe due to the jogging intervals.
