Jessica Smith Walk On: Walk the Weight Off 30 Day Plan (Low Impact High Results Program)

I love this 3 x DVD Box Set, not just great value for money, but wonderful workouts. Jessica is a superb instructor; she has a wonderful personality that really comes out in this collection. The cueing for each exercise routine is very good, the set is well put together and within all exercises routines, there are beginner options demonstrated by Debbie her mum and an advanced option by her friend Beth, Jessica does mainly the intermediate options. All the workouts flow really well. I have to give this collection 10/10. Although they are from the Walk On series, they are not just walking workouts, some of them when done with the advance moves are much higher impact and really get you puffing, but those new to exercise or those recovering from injuries or with weak points i.e. knees, back, hips, then the low impact/beginner options are great to do, helping you to work up to the intermediate and then advance when you're ready The 3 DVD Box Set is broken down as follows: DVD 1: 3 x Weight Loss Walks. All these workouts include the warm up and cool down in each one. There is also a very helpful countdown timer which appears, when you have 10 minutes to go, which really helps you keep motivated. Workout 1: 15-Minute Calorie Burst. Is a great workout to do if you haven’t got much time. It provides you with a mixture of interval training exercises. Workout 2: 30-Minute Fat Blaster. This really gets you puffing and the different moves in this routine gives you lots of energy and you certainly know you will be burning fat. Workout 3: 40-Minute Mega Burn. I love this work out, it is easy to follow and you can ramp up the moves if you want to, to make it harder or pace yourself according to your energy levels. Bonus section: 15-Minute Standing Abs workout. As the name of the workout says, you do not need to get on the floor for this abs work out. You work your core muscles fully in this routine. It is effective to help prevent back pain too. There is no timer on this section and is with Jessica on her own. DVD 2: Major Metabolism Booster. These workouts include the warm up and cool down in each one. There is also a very helpful countdown timer which appears, when you have 10 minutes to go (not on the bonus though) which really helps you keep motivated. Workout 1: Pyramid Power Walk (30 minutes). Wow this is a work out that will get you puffing when you reach the middle of the work out at its peak. Basically, Jessica cleverly uses the pyramid/mountain metaphor in this workout. If you’re a visual person like me it helps in this workout. You start out low-impact as if you’re climbing a mountain, then about 10 minutes in for just over 5 minutes you reach the top and you change up to high-impact if you want to, if not always follow the low-impact option. You then at about 16-18 minutes in start to slow it back down and finally cool down, apparently it keeps you burning more calories for hours afterwards. Workout 2: Strength Interval Walk (30 minutes). A good balanced fitness regime is to mix aerobic exercise one day and a strength workout the next day. This workout balances this brilliantly. This one will help with your metabolism and produce leanness in your muscles. You’ll need hand weights for this workout or if a beginner use your own body weight. Bonus: 20-minute Chair stretch. Lovely workout, 1 or 2 moves a tiny bit complicated at first, but once done a couple of times you soon master it. There is no timer on this section and is with Jessica on her own. DVD 3: 5 Day Fat Burn. These workouts include the warm up and cool down in each one. There is also a very helpful countdown timer which appears, when you have 10 minutes to go (not on the bonus though) which really helps you keep motivated. Workout 1: HIIT Walk (30 minutes). Phew this one can be tough (but not as tough as the HIIT walk in Jessica’s previous DVD 21 Day Weight Loss Plan, that one is a really tiring HIIT workout). This is a high intensity interval training workout, still based around walking movements. You do a number of low impact moves, then a minute or so of high impact moves, then back to low and the cycle starts again. This workout claims to have anti-aging benefits and slimming ones. You certainly know you’ve worked out afterwards. Workout 2: Toning Walk (30 minutes). This is a lovely body toner session; you will need a resistance band for this, which you can buy one cheaply enough on Amazon. All the moves help boost muscle mass, whilst burning fat. Bonus: Healthy Back workout (15 minutes): Again, you’ll need a resistance band and a mat for this bonus workout. It helps your back keep healthy and strong if you workout regularly. There is no timer on this section and is with Jessica on her own. This whole box set is all you need to get fit and lose weight. On the back of the box is a 30 day plan suggesting the workouts to do on a day to day basis, to avoid boredom and to give you structure to your workouts. I just love, love, love it. Thank you Jessica for being so brilliant.

I got this set after a mastectomy because I was desperate to get back into shape after chemo weight gain and wasn't yet allowed to go running and the like. It is brilliant for anyone who wants to move but can't flap about to the usual bouncy exercise DVDs. That said I still worked up a sweat and got a good work out because the pace can be quite fast. No, really. (But it's not tricky!). It is very easy to adapt to your own limitations, whatever they may be, and she has two minions (one is her Mum. Nice touch!) who do more or less than she does as an example. She is also sickeningly slim and pretty and quite motivating to look at. She has a nice style of speech too. Sometimes these things are annoying. The fact that most workouts are 30 minutes makes it very accessible if you are feeling like you haven't much time or can't be bothered today. But you can also do a couple back to back if you're feeling virtuous. I love the fact that it's a 30 day work out. I don't do these every day as I do other things like walking or Zumba now but have got to day 12 and have only repeated 1 work out so far. I don't think I've tried them all once yet. There is a schedule on the back. It's so important to keep it varied and I'm still keen to pick these up and get moving on the days when the weather makes me want to stay indoors. I recommend these for anyone wanting a low impact (she does v occasionally jog but you can walk) work out. I just left out the arm bits to start with on one side, and gradually used mine more and more as I was able. Oh also a little clock comes up and counts down your time to the end in the last few minutes of your work out. Nice, having the end in sight. I think I'll be using these for some time to come.

Jessica is the only keep fit person I have stuck with on video. She is fun and she keeps things moving without going over the top. Having shorter sessions helps fit in time during day. The only thing I miss is not having someone to correct my posture, and it's not always clear from these DVDs. Great though, I'm sticking to it and that's what counts.

I HATE exercise classes, boot camps & circuits with a VENGEANCE! I love walking in the countryside. I used to run but this is too high impact for my joints in my mid-50s. I tried a couple of the 10-minute DVDs & hated them equally - they were too fast with little explanation of the moves - especially for someone with as little arm/leg co-ordination as me - despite some very misleading reviews! But AT LAST - these DVDs - can I believe I am saying this?.... I actually am ENJOYING them. Jessica Smith is neither patronising or annoying. She is encouraging & explains things clearly; she gives lower level options too for those needing them. You sure know you are working out (especially if you have been out of a fitness regime for as long as I have). The moves are easy to pick up - I do have a few uncoordinated moments but can soon regroup & pick up what I should be doing. Thank you, Jessica - I can scarcely believe that I have something I know I can & will do in my own home...trust me I can always talk myself out of such things. Big thumbs up so far. I also love the routines like the Chair stretches which are great to use after any of the workouts or in isolation - easy stretches to soothe & aid your flexibility! I can only encourage others to try these DVDs if they feel they have been failed or misled by others on the market.

As with all of Jessica's walking routines these ones fit into anyone's lifestyle and fitness needs. You can do these videos if you are just starting out or are an experienced exerciser there are plenty of options to keep you going!! The "3 Weight Loss Walks" will keep you moving. With 15, 30 and 40 minute walks to choose from you can fit them into any time of the day no matter how much time you have and walk away feeling revved and ready for anything! They are all completely different and you work hard every minute. The Bonus Standing Abs workout works your abs without ever doing a crunch or hitting the floor! Loved all 4 routines! On the "5 Day Fat Burn" you have a HIIT walk, I always try to avoid HIIT I really struggle with it but when I finished this 30 minutes I was thinking 'Wow, I did it!' I will definitely be adding this routine to my weekly rotation! It was tough yet has enough progression that you can work up your endurance and keep working toward better health! The Toning Walk is one of my favorite. For this walk you use a resistance band. In the DVD they use the wide 6' long band. I only had a 4' and after that snapped (routine really needs a 6' band) I used my thin resistance band and still got a great workout with it. I loved every minute and feel stronger every time I do the routine! The Healthy Back Bonus workout is a REALLY awesome workout! Toning the lower and upper back as well as the abs. The "dead bug" ab move was my favorite and surprised me with how well it worked my abs!! The last DVD "Major Metabolism Booster" includes the Pyramid Power Walk. This was a fun walk, instead of intervals it takes you slowly up and then slowly back down. Hence the pyramid. :) Keeps you moving and your heart rate up and keeps building your stamina and endurance! The Strength Interval Walk is by far my favorite workout. I love weight training and this walk has both cardio and strength. Will yet again progression and improvement you can use the walk for years to come and keep getting stronger. The Bonus Chair Stretch really utilizes the chair well and helps get your muscles stretched out deeper than you can on your own. Excellent way to wrap up a week of tough workouts or even a stressful day! Overall the DVDs work well together and the 30 day plan she created keeps you energized and wanting more. However, the DVDs work well on their own and each could be incorporated with another workout routine as well. They are all fun and as always Jessica keeps us wanting to move!! Excellent add to my workout collections! Keep the awesome workouts headed our way Jessica!! A+++

I waqs so excited when this DVD set arrived yesterday. Sadly, now I am disappointed because ALL THREE DISKS are defective. The 1st one (5 day fat burn) played for about 3 minutes and then became pixelated before freezing completely.The 2nd. One (3 weight loss walks) won't play at all, and the 3rd (Major Metabolism Booster) skips constantly. I have contacted the seller and will update this review when I hear back from them. UPDATED January 28, 2017: I contacted the seller and they replaced the DVDs with a new set. These ones are all in good order. I have done a few of the workouts and have to say I am loving them. I have been primarily working out with Leslie Sansone the last couple of years but had reached a point where I didn't find her workouts very challenging any more. So far, I am finding these these to be giving me the challenge I was looking for without a lot of bounding and jumping. My heart rate is in the cardio zone for most of the workout (compared to just 2 or 3 minutes on a good day with Leslie). My average beats per minute for the whole workout is up around 20%. I also like the recommended rotation and the mix of cardio and strength training. I think these were just what I needed to kick things up a notch. They are kind of pricey but I highly recommend them.

Fun, challenging workouts, and plenty of variety to choose from, along with great music and scenery. Jessica Smith has a wonderful personality, is really motivating, and is an excellent instructor. I'm definitely a fan and recommend her workouts highly. Her DVDs always feature three levels to choose from, and definitely deliver. Ever since I discovered her DVDs I look forward to trying something new every day, and find myself in better shape, growing stronger and more flexible daily. Thank you, Jessica!

C est un coffret qui comprend trois dvd , tout les exercices se font debout . Selon les exercices c est plus ou moins difficiles, mais il faut savoir qu avec la bonne humeur de jessica smith on entre tout de suite dans le bain et en douceur.je conseille ce dvd parce qu il est très équilibrer et en plus les résultats sont là pour peu, que l on s y tienne 6 jours sur sept.

se acabaron las tardes en el sofa. con 30 minutos al dia noto una gran diferencia. En 2 semanas me encuentro mucho mejor. A seguir!!!
