Jessica Smith 3 Weight Loss Walks - Thoughts

3 Weight Loss Walks  DVD is one of three DVDs that are a part of Jessica Smith's Walk On Walk The Weight Off 30 Day Plan - 3 DVD Box set.
3 Weight Loss Walks DVD contains four workouts.
15-Minute Calorie Burst
30-Minute Fat Blaster
40-Minute Mega Burn
Bonus Workout: Standing Abs

15-Minute Calorie Burst is an interval workout.  Jessica introduces the base move and then she shows you how you can amp it up.  Some of the moves that appear in this workout are:
  • Three knees grapevine
  • Jump rope jack
  • V-step punch
  • Jog with high low arms
  • Skaters
The countdown timer appears at the 8-minute mark.

30-Minute Fat Blaster starts with an easy smooth warm up that is about 5 minute in length.   The workout moves into a steady state walk for about 5 minutes. Then the workout moves into a peak (interval) that last for about five minutes.  After the peak, the workout moves back into a steady state for about five minutes before moving back into the peak (interval).  After the interval, you go into the cool down which is about 4 minutes.


40-minute Mega Burn is a steady state walk for almost the entire 40 minutes.  There is a warm up and there is a cool down with a stretch. There is nothing complicated about this workout, You are just following Jessica and the cast. Jessica cues the move and you do it for a few reps.  You are repeating each move/pattern at least twice. So when you see a move, expect to see that move or pattern later in the workout.

In the 30- Minute and 40-Minute workouts a countdown timer pops up when 10-minutes are left of the workout. All three workouts have a beginner modifier and an advance exerciser.

Bonus Workout: Standing Abs is a 15 minute workout. The workout feature moves that work the abs, the obliques, the back and your balance.  Jessica is the only cast member.

15-Minute Calorie Burst - 3 & 3/4 stars
30-Minute Fat Blaster - 4 & 1/4 stars
40-Minute Mega Burn - 3 & 1/2 stars
Bonus Workout Standing Abs - 4 stars

I have had this treadmill since May. Assembly is required. It took me and another about an hour, maybe a little less to put it together. The instructions are fairly detail and everything went together as it should. I had the 2007 model of this treadmill, but I like the advertised upgrades so much I decided to get this one.

21 Day Fix Disc 1 - Review

Image
Disc 1 of the 21 Day Fix Workout System features the following workouts: Total Body Cardio Fix Upper Fix Lower Fix Pilates Fix 10 Minute Fix For Abs Overall, all workouts follow a similar pattern which is a series of rounds containing two exercises each and you repeat the round before moving on.You perform each exercise for roughly a minute and you get a 15 to 20 second rest between the exercises. Also, like most Beachbody systems, each workout contains the countdown timer in the lower right corner.  These workouts also contain subtitles that tell you which exercises you are doing and it tells you for how long and/or how many reps.  Love this feature. Total Body Cardio Fix , Upper Fix , and Lower Fix contain the same warm up moves and cool down moves.  Roughly the warm up and cool down runs around 3 minutes per workout.  Also all three of these workout use weights.  Pilates Fix is made up of a series of exercises as oppose to rounds.  Depending on the exercise you will

Tony Horton P90X Legs & Back - Review

Image
This is my second week of P90X workouts and it starts with disc 5, Legs & Back . There are 22 exercises.  For every two leg exercises, there is one back exercise. So the pattern is - do two legs and then 1 back exercise. There are a variety of legs exercises but all the back exercises are pull up/chin up exercises. There is a cardio warm up followed by a stretch.  Then you move into the 22 exercises, each of which has a time associated with it. Sometimes you are doing as many reps as you can and at other times, Tony gives you an exact rep number he wants you to perform.  A stretch cool down concludes the workout. While I was sore after this workout and felt the challenge, I really didn't care for a lot of the exercises in this workout. The workout clocks in at around 59 minutes. Equipment used:  pull up bar,  bands, weights. 2 & 3/4 stars
