Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 THANK YOU!!!!!!! You guys motivate me SO MUCH! I just have to feel like not working out and i come here and i'm up an rearing to go. You guys do a lot of tougher workouts but i thought i'd go ahead and writeup the walk away the pounds 1 and 2 mile walks.I also do the bootcamp ones but haven't managed to make it to the end of any of those yet. I have thunderous thighs and a heck of a tummy and some of the bootcamp moves are a little impossible for me just yet but i'll get to em when i'm smaller. So anyways here goes with the WATP (not sure EXACTLY what u guys look for in the workouts and i'm not down with the technical stuff that i've been reading here and there on these messages but i'll give it a go WATP 1 mile Short. maybe 15 mins or 20 is perky...a little too perky she annoyed me at first but after billy's barking (hey sometimes i need the barking at tho) i welcome the sweet almost motherly manner and tone she has. The workout is low impact and pretty easy to do, though i get a little winded toward the end. It encompasses 4 basic movements - walking in place, knee lifts, front kicks and sidesteps. You can add the weights to intensify the workout and burn more calories too. You dont need to be coordinated to to this cuz i'm miss klutz 2005 and i haven't ended up out the window yet! (you think i'm kiddin? when i did aerobics in a class there were floor length windows and the instructor made it a point to keep me in the middle of the class!) This workout took me about 3 tries to finish the whole thing because i was in THAT BAD of shape. WATP2 mile I did this entire one today! YAY ME Its maybe fifteen mins longer than the 1 mile and wasn't that much harder. It also consists of the basic four moves mentioned above.I think i'll stick with this one for another week or two before attempting the three mile. was very encouraging and talks so much u forget you're working out till she counts out the last 8 counts. I usually measure a workout by how sore i feel after and i dont think i'm gonna feel sore at all so i don't know how effective it is. I was accustomed to doing hard workouts where i'd be sore for days after and i knew it was working because i felt it but i'm not in that kinda shape anymore ....i'm in shape tho...round is a shape! lol I'm gonna keep on going - one day and one day soon i'll be able to tackle harder workouts i'm determined to conquer my bootcamp videos in under 6 months and will critique those then. Ta ta for now You guys are amazing:) Kris. http://pixelated24.blogspot.com It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 hi kris! first of all, i really enjoy your sense of humour and your determination. that will see you well as you continue your journey to fitness, so keep smiling! also, thankyou for your reviews of leslie's one and two mile workouts. you did a good job in telling us just what we want to know -- specifically, what you liked and disliked about the workout. perfect! we like to hear about all kinds of workouts... they dont have to be 'hard' or anything like that. we all do quite a wide variety of videos. i like leslie's WATP 3 mile workout quite a bit... but i played it so many times that i had everyone's lines memorized and just couldnt hack it one for time...LOL. congrats on accomplishing the 2 miles today! i think that you are right in that leslie talks so much in order to keep everyone's mind off of what their body is doing! thats a good point -- i hadnt realized that before. :*carolyn. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
