Let’s have a little fun by getting creative with walking-based exercise! We mix up our moves often and do more than just walk to avoid muscle imbalances and joint strain, but walking is always our base move and something you can always return to at any time. Mix + match these walks into your weekly workout schedule (we recommend alternating them with your favorite strength + flexibility routines 2-4 days/week). Check out our “Walk STRONG: Boost Metabolism + Muscle” and “Walk STRONG: Build Balance + Inner Strength” for some great options! You can also use these workouts in conjunction with our “Walk STRONG: Total Transformation 6 Week System" (also available on ).WALK #1: STEADY, READY, GO! - The purpose of this low impact, high intensity interval session is to improve your aerobic capacity, fitness level and even boost your metabolism. Our timed intervals are designed to help you challenge yourself without burning out for maximum results + energy. MILEAGE EQUIVALENT: Approx. 2.5 milesWALK #2: STRIDE AND STEP - We'll focus on adding intensity with a bit of an incline to boost your burn while developing agility, coordination and spatial awareness. And, not to worry, you can still get a great workout without the step - watch our modifier Debbie, age 60, for options as she demonstrates the entire walk on the floor. MILEAGE EQUIVALENT: Approx. 2 miles WALK #3: HAVE A BALL! - This walk incorporates the use of a small playground ball to increase core muscle recruitment, improve hand-eye coordination and add an extra element of fun. Don't have a ball on hand? Keep an eye on Debbie - she'll be using a hand towel as an alternative option. MILEAGE EQUIVALENT: Approx. 2 miles About Your Instructor: Jessica Smith has over 15 years of experience as a certified trainer, instructor and wellness coach.

Fun and creative workouts
This is a fun workout DVD. It has three 30 minute workouts, all completely different.1. Steady Burn - 2 minutes at a slow pace, 2 minutes at a fast pace, then 1 minute super pace. Equivalent to 2.5 miles. I like that she shows you what the 1 minute intervals will be in the warm up.2. Step and Stride - she uses a small step with easy moves. She never goes to the front of the step, so if all you have is regular step, you can use it. Equivalent to 2.0 miles.3. Have a Ball - she uses a kid's plastic ball to work mostly the abs. Equivalent to 2.0 miles.I'm not sure which workout is my favorite; they're all fun. Jessica works out with her mom, which I think is great. I was using LS videos, but they're pretty much all the same, and I don't like listening to the same conversation 100 times. I had to ramp up the workouts myself to get much out of them. Jessica pretty much sticks to talking about what you need for the workout, and I don't feel like I need to add to it. I already own three of her DVDs and will most likely purchase more.

Awesome exercise DVD
This is one of Jessica Smith's best exercise DVD. It has 3 different 30 minute routines on one DVD. I even bought a Step so I could challenge myself on the step exercise. You can do this without the step, too. One of the funnest Jessica Smith workouts!

Great Workout. Easy on the joints. Works up a sweat!
I have Multiple Sclerosis and needed a workout that I can still do on challenging days. This fits the bill perfectly. The setting is simple - the instructor and her mother in her livingroom. Music is typical quiet cardio-techno, but it helps you keep up the pace. The instructions were clear and the moves were simple - also lending themselves well to modifications when necessary. Their motto "exercise doesn't have to be painful" is one they stuck by. I still got a great workout - I sweated just as much as I do with my more physically challenging TaeBo workouts. It's not a "fancy" workout - set and music were pretty average - but it sure did the trick. Exactly what I was looking for!

Love Jessica Smith exercise DVDs
I'm a fitness DVD junkie. I workout in the mornings, 5-6 days a week. Over the years, I have acquired many of Jessica Smith DVDs, including all the Walk Strong series. She is one of my favorite 'trainers,' and I never get tired of her. She has just the right amount of cueing and pep talk to keep me going through some of the longer workouts. And, I really feel like I get a good workout with Jessica!

Fun to do
All three of these workouts were fun to do. They are energetic, but low-impact. Jessica shows modifications for a more advanced option, while Debbie shows modifications to make it easier. As usual Jessica keeps things fun so the time just flies by. I like that the step workout didn't have any super complicated moves. It's been a long time since I did step workouts, so I definitely didn't want something that was too hard to keep up with. The moves were easy to pick up and they will keep your heart rate up the whole time. I don't have a ball yet, but you can use a towel to do the Have a Ball workout. It's a lot of fun with different moves that keeps it interesting. Steady, Ready, Go is a good interval workout that is effective, but isn't hard to do. The moves are easy to learn and done at a good pace. The whole DVD is a great cardio workout that isn't too hard to do, but is still effective.

Okay but the original Walk Strong was MUCH better
I like but didn't love this DVD and I have most of everything Jessica has put out as I'm a fan. However, I don't think this matches her original Walk Strong series. It seemed to be put together too quickly and while the workouts are good and the banter between her and her Mom is fun I prefer more professionally done videos. That's just me, of course, and Jessica her Mom Debbie are delightful. Other than "Have a Ball!" I honestly didn't enjoy the workouts and kept looking at the timer. I don't think I'll be doing these again soon - I like Jessica's other "Walk On" DVDs much better, especially when it comes to HiiT. Jessica and her Mom are adorable and my heart rate definitely rose (I wear a Polar F4 monitor) so it's a worthy purchase but I was disappointed. I admittedly didn't do the step workout because I was so bored with the others but to each their own. I will be reaching for Jessica's other two Walk Strong DVDs as I liked each of them but this one? Not so much.

Jessica's workouts are perfect for what I needed
Im used to more intense workouts from beachbody, however I was looking for a workout to do in my third trimester. Most beachbody workouts have floor exercises and are too intense in later pregnancy. Jessica's workouts are perfect for what I needed! None of the movements in this DVD are done on the floor. Mostly a walking/cardio workout with light muscle toning included. What I love is that you can take this at your own pace, add weights or a weighted ball for a more intense workout or just follow the modification and you will still get your heart rate up and a nice sweat. She is fun and I love that she includes her mom in the workouts. These two make a great team, they are encouraging, and make you feel like they could be your friends if you met them in person:) They are also dressed very modestly which I greatly appreciate while doing these exercises in front of my kids.
