Time graph for Tracey Staehle's Walking Strong

A straight-forward aero/tone interval workout with lots of variety -- very 30 to 60 seconds, Tracey changes the tempo, exercise or incline. You’ll rotate among three different workout techniques. Some segments are all-cardio; these are done a varying speeds (up "hills" and down "hills"). Other sections combine upper-body toning within the aerobics (e.g. dumbbell bicep curls as you walk). These segments are alternated with complementary lower-body-with-cardio sections (e.g. fast-paced squats and lunges on the treadmill). Tracey is supportive and friendly (not “hyper”). Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells and a power-incline treadmill. ©2008. (59 min.).

Tracey Staehle's Walking Strong
Makes time fly
I love, love, love this workout. I couldn't believe how fast time went by! I think it's because you are constantly challening yourself by switching from hills, upper body, lunges, etc. I agree with the previous reviewer that a cool down is missing. As the crew stretched, I took three minutes to bring down my heart rate by walking as I gradually decreased speed. I didn't knock off a star because the rest was so fanastic that I can forgive the cooldown. - posted by Brynn on 7/24/2008

Great workout but where's the cooldown?
I agree with everyone. This is a really fun challenging workout. I usually run and I actually did the intermediate version and my heart rate was at 85 percent. That's why after the last hill I expected a cooldown to get my heart rate down. Not go immediately into a stretch. I walked at 2.5 mph during the stretching portion and did my own stretch during the bloopers and Jill's testimonial - posted by jf on 4/20/2008

My New Favorite
Any level of exerciser can do this workout and feel great. I loved it so much I bought it for my mom and even she can do it. Even advanced exercisers will feel the challenge. This workout does work the entire body and give you a wonderful cardio workout. I feel something new every time I do it. All around excellent. - posted by Annette on 3/26/2008

GREAT WORKOUT!!!
I'm another treadmill runner that LOVES this workout! The elevation makes it intense. The walking lunges are my favorite part! Add in the upper body weight work and you've got the perfect little workout! The time just flys on by! Before you know it your a sweating mess and it's time for the cool-down! Don't let the intermediate put off advanced runners! (and walkers/beginners you can modify!) I HIGHLY recommend this workout for anyone who has a treadmill! - posted by linda on 3/13/2008

Fabulous
I really felt challenged during this workout. I wasn't expecting to and boy was I wrong. The workout flew by and was everything I read it would be. It made me push myself like I have never pushed myself before. I enjoyed the banter between Tracey & her sister, it reminded me of me & my sister. It is a tough yet fun workout in less than one hour. Highly recommend you walk strong today! - posted by Chrissey on 3/11/2008

Amazing
I did this workout yesterday. Now I like the treadmill more than before. It starts with a warm-up and then hill up, down, hill up, down. It is so good for the rear part (glutes and hamstrings). I really felt it after a few minutes. I can really recommend this DVD. It is amazing! - posted by Daniela on 2/29/2008

Remarkable
It's a remarkable workout. It's challenging from beginning to end. I would never climb hills like that if I was walking on my treadmill by myself. Tracey pushes you just enough and she is so friendly it makes it hard to hate her! I am so happy to know I can get a great walking workout in without having to waste my knees running all the time. Thank you Tracey. - posted by Andrea on 2/29/2008

Finally a great treadmill interval workout!!!
This is what a treadmill workout should be!! The music is good. The mix of lower body, hill climbs, and upper body intervals is very challenging! I was sweating bullets by the third interval!!!!! Tracey and her sisters keep me laughing throughout most of the workout. My treadmill will see a lot more action because of this dvd!! Fun, fun, fun!!!!! - posted by Dee on 2/28/2008

loved it
i don't usually sweat like this on my treadmill. this workout is lots of fun. went by really fast. hard work. - posted by joy on 2/27/2008

Challenging
I am a runner who has bad knees. I ordered this tape in hopes of giving my body a break and finding another way to challenge myself. Boy am I pleased! I was skeptical at first because I didn't think a walking workout could be so challenging, I was wrong. This DVD is full of pleasant surprises. The hill climbs were my favorite. The variety throughout makes this a workout that is never boring. - posted by Deb R on 2/22/2008

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.

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.

Specialty: Treadmill
