My Review:
Leslie had her traditional walking moves; along with kickbacks, mambo combos, and lots of heel digs. She also had some new moves like backstrokes, squat & kick, squat & reach, squat & twist, and twisting.
The twisting could be hard on the knees so I personally would suggest just walking or jogging in place to keep it low impact.
She also does some HIIT training intervals which involved jogging up and back, and bouncing in place. Again, if you have knee problems, I would suggest jogging instead of bouncing. There are no jumping jacks in this one like some of her other HIIT interval dvds.
Leslie had a lot of cast members for this workout, including some regulars-Nick, Marvin and Carrie.
The music was fun and upbeat using classic hit songs-nothing modern.
Family friendly with no bad language in the songs or immodest clothes.
I would consider this dvd more moderate, but a beginner could certainly do it and just modify some of the twisting and bouncing movements.
Overall, I really enjoyed this dvd! The cast, music and new movements were a lot of fun. I have been using Leslie Sansone dvds for almost 4 years now and truly enjoy them. My heart rate typically stays in the 120s and 130s which is great for FAT BURN!
Product Description from Amazon:
IT’S A BIG CALORIE BURNING WALK CONCERT OF ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONGS RIGHT IN YOUR HOME!
We’ve all heard it before. The most effective workout plan is the one you actually DO! But with all of the demands in everyone’s busy life, it’s not so easy to find the time and energy to exercise. Motivation is key, and music is one of the best motivators. Great music makes your workout more fun and keeps you exercising because you LOOK FORWARD to it. That’s why Leslie created WALK TO THE HITS.
Walk To The Hits features hit music and High Intensity Interval Training (aka HIIT)-it’s the perfect combination! Hit music pumps up your pace, and HIIT training alternates between short bursts of all out effort and longer periods of recovery, allowing you to walk a shorter session while blasting away as many calories as you would in a longer one. A study published in The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness showed that women who completed a 12 week HIIT program lost more weight than a group who performed longer sessions of moderate intensity cardio. The HIIT group also LOST MORE BELLY FAT. In short, walking to the hits using HIIT training is a sure-fire way to fire-up your walk!
For this program, Leslie chose her all-time favorite, high-energy songs and combined them with her favorite Walk At Home moves to make one of the most motivating and enjoyable 3 mile walks she s ever created!
The miles will fly by as you step, tap, kick and twist to these oldies but goodies that are sure to be some of your all-time favorite tunes too. So come on and sing along as you get your HIIT Walk on!
