Does anyone else do the interval walking from Walk off Weight?? I have all of their 30 minute music routines, and their 40 minute ones also. I do one of the routines 3 times a day and also watch my calorie intake by eating good foods. Some of the calories I eat back, but not all of them. So far, since I started about February 13th, and have lost close to 4 pounds already, and I am really starting to feel a lot better. I have more energy than I did before, and I am not huffing and puffing as nearly as much.

    I purchased the program some time ago. It is still out there though. It comes with a great cookbook with some awesome recipes. It also comes with the music for the Basic Interval, Chutes and ladders, Roller Coaster, and Pyramids. All of these come in 30 minute and 40 minute. The chutes and ladders are my favorite. You basically walk to the beat of the music.

    Chutes and Ladders, along with the rest of rest of them, have a 4/5 minute warmup, and then goes a little faster. About a 3 on the thread mill. I do it at a 2. Then there are 5 ladders you climb. The first one is one minute up at a faster walk, high intensity at about a 4, and one minute down, the recovery at about a 3. I walk the faster walk, the high intensity one at 2, and do the one down, the recovery, at a 3. I reverse them. The next ladder is 2 minutes up and 2 minutes down, and then there is a 3 minute up and 3 minute down, and the last ladder is 2 minutes up and 2 minutes down. Then you walk at a warmup for another 4/5 minutes.

    The reason I like the Chutes and Ladders right now is because I am just starting out and by doing it in reverse, I am not pushing myself to hard, plus it is the only one where the recovery is the same time as the high intensity. When I finish the 30 minutes, I feel it in my lower back, (I have a bad back), my thighs, calves, and lower stomach.

    The cookbook helps with meal planning. The first 3 chapters talk about the different foods, putting together a diet, and the principles of the Walk of Weight program which is also called WOW. For example, a very favorite recipe, which I call a high energy bar, they call a Honey-Nut Walking Stix. It is made up of air popped popcorn, chocolate rice crispys, raisins, sugar, (splendor), powdered milk and creamy natural peanut butter. it makes 12 servings and is only 181 cals a serving. My cals are a little less because I use Splendor, air popped popcorn and natural peanut butter.

    I hope it is okay to put this link here. If not please let me know and I will remove it.

    I love Leslie Sansone DVD's. I did her 4 mile challenge yesterday for the first time. I usually do those 4 weekly and then another exercise the other 2 days. At least one day I take a walk outside trying to select a day it is a little warmer -LOL this winter.

    Is this similar to the Walk of Weight Program?? Because I am a fall risk do to my lower back surgery in 2004, I need to be able to do my walking on a treadmill. I looked at the program on the internet, and it is more like dancing. Does she have any actual interval walking music that is around a 2/3 speed on the treadmill??
