Indoor Walking Fitness DVD [No Treadmill] Plus Foot, Ankle, Knees and HIPS strengthening, 5 Fat Burning Miles Indoor Walking Exercise DVD, Zone 2 + Interval Cardio with Jessica Smith

Even though I have been doing Jessica's walking routines for over a year now, I am still amazed at how effective they are for re-shaping my body and for making me feel so good and energized. I used to be one of those intense cardio junkies. If exercise wasn't super-intense, it wasn't worth doing. Well, I am living proof that that doesn't have to be the case. Even though I was pretty fit before, I am now in the best shape of my life. I also have no aches and pains, which was all too common for me when I was doing intense cardio. Once again Jessica has created a great walking program. With this DVD, you can mix and match your 15 minute walks. All sections, including the two bonus workouts are approximately 15 minutes. The warm up and cool down are 5 minutes. You don't need any special equipment for the main sections. The sections: Warm Up Brain booster walk Belly, buns & thighs Power posture Turbo charged Boogie Down Cool Down 2 Bonus workouts: Strong feet & ankles Strong knees & hips. GENERAL IMPRESSIONS My initial take on this DVD was that I didn't think it was as intense, cardio-wise, as Jessica's other walking DVDs. This is just fine with me since Jessica's new moves and new twists on walking made me really concentrate on what I was doing. The time flew by and the workout was over before I knew it. The set is the bright, white airy room. Jessica's Mom, Debbie, does easier versions of the moves. Beth does the more intense versions. A little countdown clock appears in the lower right corner at 8 minutes remaining the workout. Jessica is a master at coming up with new ways to walk. BRAIN BOOSTER WALK As the name implies, you will be working your brain during this session! Jessica has us doing one pattern with our upper body and a very different pattern with our lower body. Try to picture trying to march in place, all the while patting your head and rubbing your stomach. Yah, it's kind of like that. The hardest move in this section was holding your hands in front of you, sticking out your thumb on one hand and your pinky on the other hand. Then switch. And you do this all while marching in place. BELLY, BUNS & THIGHS WALK This section has the usual knee lifts, side leg lifts, skater taps, puddle jumps. The new fun move here is the heel tap with the funky chicken crunch. How can you be in a bad mood after doing a move like that? POWER POSTURE This is good for whatever ails you. We all sit hunched over our computers and our phones these days. It's great to move and stretch and concentrate on your posture. Jessica puts in some glorious stretch moves like the arms out, thumbs up press back, toe tap pec deck, and swimming motions. TURBO CHARGED If you want to pick things up a notch here, you can do a light jog. I love the music in this section, it's a fast beat that is perfectly timed with the moves. You'll jog forward and back, do some jumping jacks and do alternating kicks with your arms overhead. BOOGIE DOWN I didn't think this section was that dancey, I think it was named this because of the music. Either way, it was fun. Some of the moves in this section include: toe tap front, toe tap side, alternating heel dig to corner, cha cha front and back, and side step with arms open wide to side. BONUS WORKOUT - STRONG FEET & ANKLES Equipment needed: sturdy chair, towel. No shoes are needed. I need this workout. I do a lot of barre and ballet and my feet are always cramping up on me. Exercises in this section include: flex & point feet, ankle circles, spread toes on floor, pick up towel with toes, foot massage. BONUS WORKOUT - STRONG KNEES & HIPS Equipment needed: sturdy chair. No shoes are needed. I consider this workout to be "barre light." Many of the exercises are those you would do in a barre class. I happen to love barre, so this was right up my alley. Some of the exercises in this section include: seated single leg lift, single balance knee lift, single balance circle knee, clam shell, bridge, inner thigh lifts. I can't say enough good about this DVD. If you love Jessica, you will enjoy this workout.

Jessica Smith is my absolute, FAVORITE fitness trainer. She has gained momentum, and popularity over the past few years, with her impressive line-up of fantastic DVDs, including, but not limited to, multiple in the "Walk On" series, that are designed to really be "for everyone". This most recent addition to the Jessica Library is no exception. Following in the footsteps of Leslie Sansone, and improving on Jessica's previous "Walk On" releases, this latest, includes a variety of 5 different routines/miles (warm up and cool down included) that can be done simultaneously, or mixed and matched based on preference. Each Walk is about 15 minutes each, and is 1 mile in distance, making it easy to rack up those 10,000 steps a day from the comfort of your home. As always, Jessica performs the intermediate options, and has a higher impact exerciser option and a lower impact option for beginners or those who need to take things slower or with less impact. Mile 1 Brain Booster Walk; is a fun walk, that combines upper body/arm and hand motions in opposite directions, or patterns that differ from the lower body, to help stimulate and develop neurons in the brain. It's challenging, but very fun! Almost like a game. This walk is totally different from anything Jessica has done before. Mile 2 Belly, Buns and Thighs Walk: Incorporates mini-squats, standing knee pulls/crunches with arms, etc. to work the abs and lower body from all angles without having to get on the floor and do boring sit-ups (I am totally feeling this one the day after!!) Mile 3 Power Posture Walk: Again is a paced walk, using arm reaches and raises, chest expansion work with the upper body and other moves while standing, to work the upper body, shoulders and back. I really could feel this one working, and I didn't have a single weight in my hand. Mile 4 Turbo Charged Walk: Is just as it sounds, a faster paced (13 minute vs 15) walk, that incorporates some multi-directional movement (don't worry, it's easy, and you won't be uncoordinated or trip over your feet), and periods of light jogging, to help build up cardiovascular endurance and stamina. It's also a great place to start if you'd like to build up to being able to run or jog, or are recovering from an injury and just getting back into something higher impact. As always, there is a modifier, that does not jog, so you have that option if it is not right for you. Mile 5 Boogie Down Walk: Is as it sounds, a fun 15 minute, dancy-style (think Zumba) walk, that puts a smile on your face, and some sweat on your brow. Included also are two BONUS 15 minute stand alone routines (The Strong Feet and Ankles Routine AND The Strong Knees and Hips Routine) that use a simple chair, and folded bath towel to help develop the often overlooked, but important muscles in these areas. In Summary, I truly feel that this is easily one of Jessica's BEST DVD releases to date which will easily become part of my routine, be that stand alone, or incorporated with other routines. PROS: Multiple, short routines to mix and match with the ability to "build you own workout" from the menu screen Bubbly, upbeat instructor who truly enjoys what she does. NEW TO THIS DVD, a count-down timer at or near the 8 minute mark of each routine. NEW CONTENT ; BRAIN BOOSTER ROUTINE WHICH WAS REALLY FUN plus the Feet/Ankle/Knees/Hips options previously not on any DVD. CONS: Only one for me, and that was the "recycling" of some of the music/songs from her other Walking DVDs. Over the course of the entire DVD, I did note about 4-5 songs that had been featured on her other Walking DVDs, but still, the songs we're fun, and this was only a minor distraction for me, and may not affect others, especially if this is their first Jessica DVD. All in all, I am eager to continue to use this DVD, and look forward to continuing to share my love of Jessica's routines with my friends and family. She's been my mainstay since 2010, and no matter where my fitness journey takes me, I always circle back around to her. She's fun, energetic, and her workouts WORK! I am coming back from injury from training for a half-marathon, and was so excited to be able to complete this DVD last evening, including the "optional" higher impact jogging without pain. To me that is PROGRESS!

This Walk On set of five 1-mile routines seems to be an early video in the series. The quality of the routine is excellent as in later DVDs but there are slight differences in how it's produced. To begin with, the music reminds me of aerobics classes from the 90s, a little disco flare to it. Jessica gives less information about the benefits of each move but they seem to be the foundation for moves in other DVDs. This 5 Fat Burning Miles selection would be good to start with if you are new to Walk On. The workouts feature Jessica, her mom Debbie and their friend Beth demonstrating different levels along with modifications. The studio was a little blah but I enjoyed the music and the routines didn't strain my knees or quads too much. The slightly shorter routines worked well for me since I'm building up my endurance after an illness. I'm closer to Debbie in age, mostly get regular exercise including yoga and have muscles that are temporarily weaker than what would be normal for me. I only do two miles at a time currently though the flexible format makes it easy to do as many as you want in whichever order. The individual miles start with a warm-up and are: 1) Brain Booster - some unusual coordination challenges 2) Belly, Buns & Thighs - emphasis on lower body 3) Power Posture - works areas like upper back that help with posture 4) Turbo Charged - somewhat similar to interval training 5) Boogie Down - more dance-like All run a little less than 15 minutes. A countdown timer appears in the lower right hand of the screen towards the end of each walk. The series can be followed in sequence or can be customized. There is no floor work in the main routines nor a need for any equipment. Two additional stretching and strengthening routines are included: The Strong Feet & Ankles Workout and The Strong Knees & Hips Routine. At least one requires a chair. I haven't done either yet because I mainly use this series for cardio. I don't know whether it's just because it's my newest Walk On DVD or because the routines seem to flow more smoothly but I really enjoyed the 5 Fat Burning Miles. I have at least four Jessica Smith workout DVDs and, of the three that are Walk On miles, this one is the easiest for me because there is much less dipping down into squats. I still had enough of a workout to get sweaty by the end without feeling any knee strain. Of course, I substitute with the easier version of jumping jacks which was about the only alteration I found necessary on any of these five routines. It's upbeat without going at too fast a pace and presents the foundations of exercises that reappear in altered versions on other videos. I recommend 5 Fat Burning Miles for anyone new to this workout series or anyone who needs a gentle on the joints yet good cardio workout.

If you are looking for a mindless walking video this is not it. Jessica Smith knows how to engage the mind while working you out so you burn lots of calories and possibly lose some weight. I lost two pounds in a week from doing this DVD regularly. The trick is to do two walking workouts a day so you can pick about 30 minutes of exercise a day by combining two walking miles. So this DVD has 5 walking miles that you can mix and match. It also has two bonus workouts. I felt that Jessica Smith was positive all while not being annoying. Her cueing is excellent and she keeps you moving at a rapid pace. I could not always keep up with her and did at times need to modify the moves. This seems to have been created for people 20-45 and I'm nearing 50. If you struggle with balance issues or knee problems this may not be for you. I will say if you are looking for something more intense and creative than a Leslie Sansone DVD this may make you very happy. The creativity is good and some of the moves I've never seen before in any walking workout. Also when the instructor is out of breath you know you are getting a good workout. So I guess my favorite part of this DVD was the posture workout. That I would like to do once a week at least. I also felt these workouts engaged the arms a lot so you move a lot of lymph around and get a upper body workout too. The Cool Down is also excellent and I really enjoyed it after each walking session. The stretches felt so good. With motivational music, a with it instructor and lots of options for variety I think this is a good DVD that you will use again and again. ~The Rebecca Review

I recently got a recommendation to check out workout dvds by Jessica Smith. I have been wanting to try something new because a certain workout company (BB) is making it harder to get their workouts on dvd, not to mention that during the workout, they try to sell other products, which gets a little annoying after hearing it every time one works out. I don't want to depend on (and continually pay for) streaming and I have found other products (like meal replacement shakes) that work just as well for less money. I can't completely knock them though, because they are the first workouts I ever stuck with and I had some success with them in the past. But I still wanted to try something new, maybe something a little different, and see if I could get similar results. So after researching and looking at reviews for Jessica Smith workout dvds (which impressed me by how many great reviews all of the dvds had), I decided to buy these three - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M6ATZSG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W85TAHE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GKKXXG6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have to say that they did not disappoint, at all!! After only using them for almost a couple of months, I can easily say with confidence that they all work! These are my new favorite workouts! I love them all for different reasons. I use the Walk On 5 Fat Buring Miles dvd on the days I'm not using the Walk Off Belly Fat dvd (usually on the 6th and/or 7th day of the workout week) or when I don't have much time that day to work out. This dvd is sectioned so that you can take as little time to exercise as just 25 minutes (1 mile) up to 83 minutes (all 5 miles), and anywhere in between. On hectic days, one can do just one or two miles, or on days where you have time, you can do all five, so it's nice and convenient that it's sectioned off the way it is. Definite plus for me! First off, I like the prices of her dvds. The other company's prices were very high compared to hers (that is, if they were actually selling the workouts on dvd). The main thing I like about her dvds though is how upbeat and motivational she is during the workouts and she does every single second of the workout with the rest of us! She is motivational without being pushy (not a big fan of pushy instructors). I appreciate how different levels of the routine are offered so if you are a beginner (or feeling like lower impact that day), intermediate (middle ground), or advanced (or would like a challenge that day), all levels are truly covered. I also appreciate the feeling that she is not all or nothing (which I felt like was the motto of most of the instructors of the other workout company - not all but most). Her exercises work without being grueling. I'm honestly not a big fan of exercise and in the past, I had to talk myself into exercising for the day, but with her workouts, I don't mind pushing play. And after most of her workouts, I don't feel like I'm exhausted, but rather energized so it doesn't make me dread having to workout for the day. By incorporating these dvds with a calorie counting app, I have lost the most weight I ever have. So she definitely has a new fan in me! I definitely recommend this dvd and I will be buying more of her dvds in the future (and cancelling the other company's streaming service)!

I've only reached for this a handful of times since I purchased it a few months ago. I've been watching Jessica on YouTube for a little over a year now and really enjoy her workouts there. I decided to pick up a DVD of hers and give it a try. I don't hate this workout by far. I personally think Jessica is a good instructor and her transitions work for me seamlessly. The other options with her mom, Debbie (lower impact) and their friend, Beth (more advanced) are a nice touch when I want to push that day or keep things a little less intense. I think what doesn't keep me coming back to this workout is the brain boosting mile. It feels like it was an experimental thing to see if watchers liked it but....I didn't care for it. I don't mind a "brain boost" but I don't want to think about that while I'm exercising. I just want to workout and sweat. Felt like kind of a wasted mile. I also personally don't really care for the dance-y type moves in the miles because it just feels awkward and like I said, I'd rather feel like I'm simply exercising. I will most likely try other of Jessica's workouts because I like her and about 70% of this workout I liked and got sweaty with.

As usual Jessica has hit it out of the ballpark with her new walking DVD! Unlike her 15 minute fat blast video there are no warm ups and cool downs for each segment so be sure to do both no matter how many miles you walk as she packs as much as possible into each mile. Jessica is joined once again by her Mom Debbie (low impact) and friend Beth (high impact), which gives you the option to build up if you're a beginner or get a good sweat on if you're advanced. There is a 5 minute warm up followed by five walks that are each roughly a mile: Brain Booster Walk (15 minutes): I LOVED this one as it made your brain work along with your body. The walking itself was basic but the moves were unique/varied and although I caught on to most of them I did have to think. It's going to take a while before I can master "pinkie finger to thumb!" Belly, Buns & Thighs Walk (15 minutes): Just as it's described! Mini squats, torso twisting moves and side steps that target those areas. If you've done her other walks of this nature you know what you're getting into. Power Posture Walk (15 Minutes): This was great. Jessica focuses on your upper back and shoulder muscles that help with your posture. I could feel the burn despite doing similar exercises regularly. Turbo Charged Walk (13 Minutes): I'm going to have to build up to this one as it was a lot like HIIT workouts (which I confess I hate). It's fast paced and I did it using the low impact version but it includes squat jumps, skiers, jogging, etc. There is a lot packed into these 13 minutes! Boogie Down Walk (15 Minutes): This was my least favorite of the walks. I loved the dance party walk on her 15 minute fat blasts disc and this didn't come close as far as the fun factor goes. I'd do this one just to get my steps in but will pop in the dance walk when I'm looking for a good time. I haven't yet done the bonus "Strong Feet and Ankles" (15 minutes) or "Strong Knees and Hips" (15 minutes) but I'm familiar with some of Jessica's moves and think they will be greatly beneficial for people who are on their feet all day or have issues with these areas. I'm so happy that she took the time to add these on as these are spots that are most likely ignored when they shouldn't be. Thanks Jessica! All in all these walks are pretty comprehensive and target every muscle group (I'm sure I'm going to be feeling my shoulders tomorrow after the posture walk). I liked the 15 minute fat blast DVD a bit better but had to give this five stars for the brain booster segment alone. The music was upbeat, Jessica was a doll (as usual) and encouraging, and I did like the countdown clock that was included with each mile. That was a great addition. Highly recommend!

I am really surprised I love this workout but it is the first one that I have actually...dare I say enjoyed!! Zero dread factor!!! I have tried The Firm, Leslie and Jillian Michaels and working out at the gym (which I despise). Jessica is SO awesome!!! She's encouraging and has a great vibe without being overly chatty (I'm looking at you, Leslie). I'm not a big indoor exercise person. Actually, I'm not a big exercise person in general. I do love to walk and when I stumbled across this DVD I thought it was intriguing. It is a GREAT workout!! I sweat and feel good afterwards. It's just enough where I feel like I did something but not so much that I can't move for 3 days like Jillian Michaels "beginner" shred. It's fun and I do catch myself smiling and laughing while doing the workout! In fact, I now do this DVD 4-6 times a week! Anyone can do this tape at any age or weight. There are plenty of modifications and I have even added some of my own based on my shoulder problems. I feel so good looking down at my fitness tracker at the end and seeing my steps!! I also like that you don't have to be really coordinated. I'm not coordinated so anything involving complicated moves is a hard pass for me! I was a 80's step aerobics fail because I lack basic coordination! I can actually do this workout! It's got enough variety that I don't get bored and she seems to know when I'm about to die and switches moves. I would highly recommend this for anybody from obese, to old, to advanced exercisers (there is a person to follow who is a bad ass exercise person (love you, your energy and your smile Beth), to absolute beginners. It's really fantastic and definitely worth the money!!! This is the ONLY exercise tape you will ever need for cardio!!!! BEST. PURCHASE. EVER.

Wenn man zu Hause gerne Sport macht und dies aber unter professioneller Anleitung tun möchte, ist man bei Jessica perfekt aufgehoben. Seien es ihre Workouts auf youtube oder eben die DVDs, die man erwerben kann - mit diesem Sonnenschein von Trainerin macht jede einzelne Einheit unfassbar viel Spaß! Mir ist Sympathie immer ganz wichtig beim Trainieren und da gibt es einfach keine bessere als Jessica (und in Kombination mit Peanut natürlich unschlagbar - in diesen Genuss kommt man allerdings nur auf youtube). Wenn man mit ihr, ihrer Mutter Debbie und einer ihrer Freundinnen trainiert (meistens ist das "animal" Beth), hat man das Gefühl, man befindet sich inmitten guter Freundinnen und mehr als einmal ertappe ich mich bei jedem Training bei einem breiten Grinsen, weil Jessica gerade mal wieder einen goldigen, motivierenden Spruch gebracht hat. Sie hat eine äußerst angenehme Stimme, hat immer ein authentisches Lächeln auf den Lippen und erklärt ganz oft, warum man eigentlich gerade das tut, was man tut. Lebensweisheiten, die nicht schnöde klingen, gibt sie einem auch gerne mal auf den Weg und sie ist sich nicht zu schade zuzugeben, dass auch sie mal zwanzig Kilogramm Übergewicht hatte. Allein dieses Wissen gibt einem noch mehr Motivationsschübe und man merkt jedes Mal überdeutlich, wie wichtig es Jessica ist, dass man sich während ihres Trainings wohlfühlt und Spaß hat und trotzdem muss man bei ihren Workout ordentlich arbeiten und kommt gut ins Schwitzen (einer ihrer Sprüche: sweat is your fat crying!). Nun speziell zu diesem fünf Meilen Workout: Das Training ist in fünf Blöcke unterteilt (also eine Meile je Einheit), die man entweder an einem Stück durchlaufen lassen kann oder (und das ist eine grandiose Option) man kombiniert sich die Meilen in der Reihenfolge, auf die man am ehesten Lust hat. Selbstverständlich ist diese Möglichkeit auch perfekt, wenn einem z.B. nur nach dreißig Minuten Training ist - einfach die zwei Einheiten anwählen, die einem am meisten Spaß machen. Thematisch sind die Meilen folgendermaßen eingeteilt: 1. Brain Booster Walk - wie der Name schon sagt, muss man hier bei einigen Schritten auch sein Hirn einschalten und sich konzentrieren. Dabei stellt sich allerdings nie Frust ein, denn trotz teilweise kniffliger Kombos erklärt Jessica alles so schlüssig, dass man es spätestens beim zweiten Versuch schafft. Spaßfaktor sehr hoch, da viele spannende Schritte. 2. Belly, Buns & Thighs Walk - hier ist mehr die Beinarbeit gefragt vom klassischen knee lift bis hin zum spider climber werden Schenkel und Waden gut beansprucht. 3. Power Posture Walk - bei diesem Abschnitt konzentriert Jessica das Training auf die korrekte Körperhaltung und Arme, Schultern und Rücken erhalten das Hauptaugenmerk. 4. Turbo Charged Walk - man kann es erahnen, hier wird durchgepowert. Das Tempo ist hier deutlich höher als bei den anderen Meilen und wenn es die eigene Fitness hergibt, wird man zum Joggen animiert (man kann es aber mit Debbie zusammen beim Power Walking belassen). Die Schritte sind hier also nicht schwerer oder komplizierter, sondern einfach nur schneller. Ich persönlich packe diese Meile immer an den Anfang, weil ich da noch richtig mitpowern kann. 5. Boogie Down Walk - so oder so empfehlenswert als letzte Meile, denn die Schritte sind hier weitaus entspannter und lockerer. Diese Meile kommt spielerisch mit leicht tänzerischem Touch daher und ist so easy zu bewältigen, dass man es fast schon als Vorstufe des Cool Downs bezeichnen kann. Ganz allgemein gehalten: im gesamten Workout werden die Klassiker durchgeführt wie hamstring curl, knee lift, skater, step touch, v-step, grapevine und vieles, vieles mehr. Oft ganz traditionell und genauso oft aufgepeppt und pfiffige Abwandlungen, sodass es nie langweilig wird. Der Grundschritt ist natürlich das normale Walking, wohin immer wieder zurückgekehrt wird - so kann man zwischendurch kurz verschnaufen und der Spaß bleibt konstant erhalten. Jessica sagt die einzelnen Übungen immer rechtzeitig an, sodass man nie ins Straucheln kommt und gut mithalten kann. Dies gilt übrigens generell für jedes Jessica Smith Workout. Jede Meile auf dieser DVD dauert ca fünfzehn Minuten und für die letzten acht Minuten erscheint immer die Countdown Uhr, die nochmal einen extra Motivationsschub gibt, denn selbstverständlich möchte man dann diese letzten Minuten auch noch packen. Wie immer wird in allen Einheiten die Möglichkeit dreier Schwierigkeitsgrade gezeigt. Debbie zeigt Low Impact Varianten, falls man Knie- oder Schultergelenke schonen muss oder eben einfach noch nicht so durchpowern kann. Beth hingegen gibt volle Kraft, falls sich jemand von der normalen Variante unterfordert fühlt und Jessica bleibt meist im Mittelfeld. Natürlich gibt es auch bei dieser DVD ein Warm Up und ein Cool Down - sollte man beides auch wirklich nutzen. Übrigens ist mir bei diesem Warm Up mal wieder aufgefallen, wie sehr mich Jessica begeistert, denn diese Frau denkt sogar daran die Schienbeine aufzuwärmen und DAS habe ich so speziell noch bei keinem anderen Trainer gesehen. Zu guter letzt bietet diese Perle unter den Workout DVDs auch noch zwei Bonus Einheiten, einmal für Füße und Knöchel (dafür benötigt man als Hilfsmittel einen Stuhl) und einmal für Knie und Hüften. Jessica Smith ist wirklich ein Schatz und wer fitter werden und was für seine Gesundheit tun will, aber vielleicht "Angst" hat nicht mithalten zu können, ist bei ihr wirklich bestens aufgehoben. Es ist für jeden etwas dabei, sei es die Sportskanone oder der Sportmuffel. Und ganz ganz wichtig: es macht endlos Spaß mit Jessica, ich persönlich freue mich auf jede Sporteinheit mit ihr und kann es oft nicht erwarten, das Training zu starten und das Gefühl habe ich sonst bei keiner Trainerin. Ich besitze alle in Deutschland erhältlichen DVDs von Jessica und nutze ebenso regelmäßig ihre youtube Videos, aber dieses Workout hier ist mein absoluter Favorit. Also: zugreifen, loslegen, Spaß haben und fitter werden!

I love Jessica Smith's workouts, and this DVD is my favourite so far! 4 different short workouts that you can mix and match for tons of variety in your workout. I have a bad knee so I can't do high impact anymore, but I still need a high intensity workout and Jessica always fits that bill. With 3 intensity levels for every move - and that the camera actually shows you consistently - you can easily mix and match intensity throughout the workout. I also love that Jessica comes up with new and different moves and combinations in each new video. When you work out exclusively with DVDs at home variety is key to sticking with it. Jessica's videos are terrific - buy one (or more) you won't be disappointed!

Okay, so i got this DVD along with 2 others from a different presentor (Gina Boyer)? After going through this DVD first 2 sessions i much prefer Jessicas DVD. Not only is it low impact, but its fun and i really did enjoy doing the first two sessions (2 miles). I have a few joint issues so wanted a low impact but still high energy workout. You dont need any equipment, but you do need space. I have found that you really need to make sure you have a clear area in front and back of you when you are in front of the TV. Some of the fast pace walks involve a lot of moment so make sure you dont trip over. Along with the main presenter (Jessica) there are 2 others where you can follow more basic session or more complex. There is a timer on the screen and you can choose which session to do aout of the five, they get harder as you go in. The brain workout is very fun and dont forget the cooldown. Will probably get another one of this ladies DVD as she is so personable and very easy to follow the instructions. Anyone with joint issues will find this DVD great to work with, do a few times a week and in no time you may get to the end of the 5 miles. Each Session last around 10 minutes (i think) the timer comes up when you get to around 7 minutes left. Well worth it..

A fantastic workout DVD. Love Jessica's workouts! I have five of Jessica's workouts now, and mix and match monthly to get the best possible workout. No matter your size, weight or age, you should keep yourself fit and lose weight at the same time, although watch your diet!

I really enjoy Jessica Smith workouts and recommend them to everyone. I like this one because it gives you the option to pick your workout in the order you want
