Jessica Smith Burn Fat & Have Fun -Thoughts
Walk 1 is Steady, Ready, GO! and it clocks in at around 30:38. This is your interval workout. The tempo changes or increases as you go from Steady to Ready and then to GO!.
There are five intervals and Jessica previews the GO! moves during the warm up. The GO! moves are squat swim, diamond 1/2 jack, skater half circle, side-to-side half jack, and power pull knee.
Jessica combines the warm up and the first steady. After that, each of the steady is probably around 2 minutes; and each steady is a mini combo routine. Then you move into the "ready" phase for about two minutes. The ready phase is a bit more athletic than the steady phase. After ready you do 60 seconds of the "GO!" phase.
Walk 2 is Stride and Step. This workout uses an optional 1/2 step and it clocks in at 30:00. In this workout you are doing a series of basic step moves over and across the step. Jessica refers to going up and down on the step as "in-in out-out". That was throwing me off a bit until I was checking out the modifier who did not have a half step. She had the outline of a box she had made on the floor using painter's tape. So in that situation, the in-in out-out made sense.
Basic steps, L steps, alternating knee pulls, straddle the box, side step ups, charlston, and hamstring curl are some of the moves that appear in this workout.
Walk 3 is Have a Ball!. This walk workout uses a soft playground ball or the modifier uses a towel. This workout clocks in at 32:00 and in this workout you are doing lots of coordination type moves and core rotation moves. For most of the workout, you are moving and walking at a steady pace. In certain spots of the workout, Jessica stops the feet for some targeted core work.
