    I don't mean to sound naive, but do you really need a DVD for walking?

    Just go for a walk and enjoy the world around you at the same time?

    Increase your pace and amount of time as and when you are ready.
    Done.




    I don't think this is naïve but some people (such as my self) Don't really have any area to walk in,I live on a very busy street with no side walks so walking for me outside isn't always an option. When I do visit my parents though I try to go for walks. =)

    It's not really walking, there is some jogging in place but I move more...you do what you do on other DVDs like jillians, high knees, kick backs, jumping jacks, but if you are "lower intensity" they have a walking move you can go down too. I find a sweat more with this one than Jillian's 30 day shred, although I do both. Jillian has more time to cool down. I like it when I can't get out or it's late at night.

    My knees took a beating during a marathon I did 8 years ago...but I know if I strengthen the muscles around them more, it will get better. I work at an Ortho office and know that some knee/back injuries can be improved but not "cured". You have to know your body and get good advice.A lot of back pain is from poor stomach muscles, but Jililan is wrong when she says "Anyone can do jumping jacks" etc. That is not true. You can really hurt yourself.

    I wonder if I'd do well to go back to the aforementioned other calorie counting website. So many times, I've clicked on a topic and been completely blow over by people's arrogance.

    If you don't do walking DVD's, what are you doing posting in a topic asking for advice on one?

    There...rant over!

    Totally agree & well bloody said lol

    I use Leslie Sansone Dvd's and I will admit that I have trouble with them still. I'm older and I have to have a total knee replacement plus numerous other medical conditions where it is easier for me to exercise at home until I can increase my strength and endurance. Many people are in the same boat. I wish I were able to get out and walk in this beautiful fall weather.

    So for you healthy people who say why use dvd's, if you don't want to buy one to try one out, go to youtube , try one and see the kind of workout that can be achieved by using a dvd.
