Renda, the version with the stretch workout was one of the discs that came in a General Nutrition Center-specific kit a couple of Christmases ago. It had the red looped stretch strap and the soft weights as well as some bands and tubing and a couple of other DVDs. It kept popping up for really low prices at some GNC stores and some clearence sites on-line so many VFers bought it for just the parts they wanted and broke the set up. I traded for the walking/stretch disc and the strap. The stretch really needs the kind of strap that is a series of loops. That kind of strap is availalbe if you think you would use it enough.
The walking workout also came alone on a DVD in a Rejuvenation kit with the soft weights and a basic pedometer. Since I work out and have DVDs in two different places, I have that one, too, and can verify the walking workout is the same in both. I got my kit version from Amazon in November of 2009 but they seemed to get in one lot of this series and not replace them as they sold out. I didn't like Kathy's other Matrix walking DVD but mainly because of the weird and frenetic fiming style with goofy cowboy costumes and walkers occasionally superimposed on moving artsy backgrounds. Also, Kathy was in one of her hyper moods in that one. Here I get the workout without too much distraction. She does have some trouble with the counting when she can't figure out if it's a four beat or two beat rep and she gets her clock positions off at least once, but she actually does the right number of moves on each side so I can live with it. The set is bright and serene and there are no backrounders for Kathy to bounce off of. Pretty calm for a Kathy Smith. Unfortunately, either version is going to be kind of hard to find except by luck. I don't think many got distributed in the first place and they've both been OOP for almost two years. I never did see on-line clips. One with the stretch did just get traded on the swap, so they are around occasionally, at least here where they were a big topic as people searched out the best deals on the big kit while the prices and availability bounced all over the map and debated if the workouts were the same on the different versions of the kits.

The kit without the stretch and strap is currently available online at Sears.

Hey, look at this - found the walking workout/soft weights/pedometer kit availalbe on line at:
Sears $14.39+7.25 shipping to Seattle or ship to a store for free Target $16.99+?shipping - seems to be free shipping with a Target charge card - not marked as eligable for free shipping with a minimum order and it wouldn't show me the shipping charge without putting in my credit card number, probably so they'd know if it was free. The page on shipping charges said you had to go through check out to find out. K-Mart $18.59 + same shipping as Sears AAAnd... Who'd a thunk it. from Kathy Smith's site with a free MP3 of an audio walking workout. $19.99 but shipping is a whopping $17.90 for default 3 day or $15.51 for regular when I put it in a cart! Plus it looks like Kathy has the whole kit with the Walk and Stretch version, too, though just marked down to $40 rather the $12 to $25 that got VFers so worked up before. Same shipping cost, which makes more sense since this is about the size of two shoeboxes end-to-end as I remember from when I looked at it at my local GNC.

Renda, i was just searching on the web for Kathy's Rejuvenation walking workout....! you're lucky you found it in the used bookstore. thanks for the review - i too have my share of Kathy's walking workouts. i am a huge fan of her audio workouts (WalkFit series) and have all of them! the audios are "whoop-free" too.

i think her cheesiest workout might be the "Weight Loss Workout", which i have on one of her compilation DVDs, Strong Sleek & Slim.
