Walk Away the Pounds- Walk Strong

Reviewed by Rosanne (RoseyGrape)

Review of the Walk Strong DVD.

Subtitled, "I'm going to be feeling this one tomorrow."

Sub-subtitled, "Lunges and Squats and Weights- Oh, my!"

That was a sweaty 30 minutes.

This one has the same set as Walk and Kick, and the walkers are the same- Mary Kay, Carol, Tall Beth and Sandy. This set looks like a courtyard, and the lighting is not as bright as I would like.

There are 3 minute intervals of intense aerobics and then weight lifting/squatting/lunging/feeling the pain intervals. Leslie's website categorizes this as an intermediate walk, but I beg to differ. I was huffing and puffing on this one far more than I do on some of the other walks that are in the advanced category.

Leslie uses 5 pound dumbells; Mary Kay uses 3 pound dumbells. Beth uses the weighted gloves, Carol uses the Walk-Away weighted balls and Sandy doesn't use anything.

This is a wonderful workout for anyone looking to be challenged in the areas of aerobics and muscular strength. Be aware that there is another Walk Strong in the WATP express series. It uses the stretchy band instead of the weights.
