Certified instructor description: Created by Prevention Magazine, it’s a no-nonsense, weight-loss-focused workout. You get three sections. The first is fat-burning cardio — walking-style moves with lots of variety-boosting rhythm and directional changes. The second segment features metabolism-elevating toning moves. The last section is ab focused — a mostly-floorwork blend of Pilates and traditional core exercises. Lisa Christie’s clear, step-by-step cuing is exceptionally easy to follow. While it has a subtle diabetes focus, this program would work for anyone who wants to shed some pounds. Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2009. DVD has: Chapter menus, Music only option, Wide screen.

Fantastic for someone with diabetes. - posted by diane benson on 3/31/2011

Wow! I Really Sweated

Just did this workout. You really sweat during this workout. The instructor was very encouraging and was not overly perky. There were a lot of combinations in the cardio segment but after a few tries I stopped stumbling and was actually able to complete the combinations. I am a beginner and extremely overweight however I did not feel overwhelmed while doing this video. I may be a little biased because I love the Prevention workout videos and the instructors especially Chris Freytag. Anyway, this is a video that I will keep in rotation and continue to do until I become an intermediate or one that I will complete when I don't have much time or want to do light exercise. It is a keeper. - posted by Andrea on 3/13/2011

Good toning workout for walking video buffs

I usually do Leslie Sansone's walking videos but these are short of toning exercises. This Prevention workout is good for alternative days to basic walking when you would like to add some weighted and balance exercises. I love the Pilates based ab workout-not a series of endless crunches. The instruction is good using three levels of skill from beginner to beginner-immediate and the exercises move at a slow, controlled pace which is good for overweight people like myself. My biggest complaint is that the instructor spends too much explaining each exercise but you can perform a set during this time once you learn the movements. - posted by denny on 11/24/2010

Difficult but worthwhile

Several friends and I perform this video once a week. We range in age from the 50s to near 90 but intend to keep at it until we master the moves. On two other days we follow other exercise programs. It is one of the best all around exercise programs we have found. - posted by James on 4/15/2010

Good Walking Workout - Could be Longer

This DVD is broken into three sections: a walking aerobic workout, a standing toning workout, and a floor toning workout. I enjoyed the aerobic workout, as I enjoy most walking workouts (I'm a big Leslie Sansone fan!) but I wish it would have been at least 30 minutes, or that I had had the option to program it to play twice. The toning sections are your basic upper body/lower body toning; nothing overly strenuous, sort of along the lines of Chris Freytag or Denise Austin. The instructor was encouraging without being overly perky, and I loved the bright and cheery set. While I enjoyed the workout, it is definitely for beginners. - posted by Fit Chick on 8/25/2009

Not a favorite or one that will stay in my collection

Understanding that I am not the target audience for this workout, I still wanted to give it a try due to a recent injury/surgery to my knee. I have spent the past 4 months not able to exercise or what I could do was very minimal. I don't have diabetes and I am in my 20s, but I still felt this might be a good DVD to help get me back into the swing of exercise since I have lost so much strength, stamina, and endurance due to the time off. I tried this DVD for the first time today and only made it 2/3s of the way thru. It was just not what I was looking for; I had to turn it off. Let me start out by saying if I like a DVD regardless of the rating, I will modify a workout to fit my needs, even if it's more advanced than the DVD is rated for. I am thankful for "begin/inter" rated DVDs bc it gives me a starting point and I can build upon them when my body is ready. That being said, I was following the Advanced version of the exercises only 7 days post-op. I lack the balance/strength in my knee still so the balance work is what made me sweat. That will change in a matter of a few short weeks when I am 100% healed. The movements/pace are very slow and this is where I find it almost pointless to try and make this DVD fit my needs. I am not even using the workout as intended or close to it; I need something a touch more difficult. There is a lot of breakdown and this is one of the things that would be great for true beginners, but Intermediates, do beware. Some of her arm movements are ridiculous in nature and you just feel odd doing them. Her cueing is excellent, but this and her chatter is in a Sing-Song fashion which I find to be annoying. I didn't make it to the ab segment just bc I couldn't stand the DVD any longer. Again, I wasn't expecting this to be an all out challenge, but more along the lines of other Prevention Fitness DVDs. I think this is more beginner than begin/inter. It's very slow and it will not keep my attention, and I am sure it won't for other Intermediate+ exercisers. It is great for older exercisers or others who just can't stand fitness. I am looking forward to trying other Prevention DVDs that I just received, but this one is going in the donation pile. - posted by Julia on 8/24/2009

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Music only option

This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
