Walk On: 6 Mile Mix - Workout Videos For Women, Low Impact, Cardio and Sculpting Exercise For Fat Burning

I really enjoy participating in Jessica Smith's exercise routines - and this dvd proves it. Achievable routines that you really feel like you've done a good workout at the end. The dvd is a combination of cardio and strength training using a resistance band, but I think you could easily use dumb bells if you don't have a resistance band. There is a 5 min warm up and cool down plus a short stretch routine too. I bought this dvd to take with me when travelling - a resistance band weighs a lot less than dumb bells :). Really enjoy this dvd and highly recommend.

Okay, so I think I have made this statement with every review of Jessica’s workouts, but this one is truly one of my favorites because it is so versatile. This gem of a workout has 6 1 mile workouts, each clocking in at about 15 minutes each. It’s all there, cardio, intervals, toning and stretching. As usual, the set is filmed in sunny Florida. Jessica, Beth and her Mom, Debbie, are all dressed in bright tops. Beth is doing the advanced moves; Debbie is doing easier/low impact moves and Jessica is doing something in between. I just love doing this workout during my rest week, or if I’m recovering from an injury or illness. It’s a nice way to get the blood moving without killing myself. You can customize this workout as well. For the toning sections, you will need an exercise band. The sections: WARM UP You will warm up from head to toe. My favorite moves here include shoulder rolls and ankle circles. MILE 1 – STEADY BURN This section is filled with traditional moves, done at a steady pace. Some of my favorites here include: jogging arms punch up, traveling wide knee lift and zig zag. MILE 2 – UPPER BODY Some of my favorite moves include: side to side step with chest press, bow and arrow step back, bicep curls with curtsy and figure 8 arms with march. MILE 3 – LOWER BODY There are 10 minutes of standing and 5 minutes of floor work. Some of my favorite moves include: side leg lift, pulsing one leg squat, alternating glute lift, clam shell with tubing and bridge with band across pelvis. MILE 4 – CARDIO INTERVALS I love interval work! The interval moves include: windmill, figure 8 scoop and double knee squat chop. In between each interval you will do some active recovery like alternating knee lift with circle arms. MILE 5 – TOTAL BODY Some of my favorite moves include: chop with band, alternating front step with chest fly and heel dig with bow and arrow. MILE 6 – SPEED WALK Some of my favorite moves include: side to side step clap, wide skater tap and cheerleader arms. There is also a nice cool down and stretch. Although, I must admit, I rarely do these. If you are looking for a fun and versatile DVD that has it all, this one is for you!

This is an excellent exercise DVD if you are looking for a longer workout.I Plenty of variety including strength training and cardiio. The instructions are easy to follow and the instructor is pleasant to listen too (I needed a break from Leslie Sansone and her irritating voice, chatter!)😕😕 One star off as the set is very dreary looking and not attractive. That didn't add to the dvd. Overall, I would definitely recommend this one. Helpful votes are always appreciated.😏 Geraldine Helen Hartman author of the Groovy Green Kitchen series 🍞🧀🍅 .

I purchased this video several months ago but just completed the first 3 miles of it today. (I was in the process of doing various other Jessica Smith workouts such as Walk The Weight Off in 30 Days and Transformation: both of which are fantastic workout programs!). Jessica does a nice job with a short warm-up (5 minutes) to prep you for the miles to come. In the first mile (15 minutes), you really burn the calories and rev your metabolism through a steady state brisk walk. I broke a sweat with this one and loved the moves! Hardly any repetition at all so it goes by quickly. The second mile (15 minutes) focuses on upper body using a resistance band but there are some lower body moves that Beth does so you can get a bit of toning action for your glutes and legs. The third mile (15 minutes) focuses on lower body - the moves are challenging in a good way. I could really feel the burn in my lower body and it was great! I haven't completed the last three miles yet, but I did preview them and they look really fun - I love cardio walks. I highly recommend Jessica Smith and her workouts. This is definitely one of my favorites. I have many, many exercise DVD's and I do like to vary them... BUT... I never look forward to doing any of them as much as I do Jessica Smith's walking workouts. Is this because they are easy? I admit they are "easier" in terms of impact on your knees and joints but honestly, I am sweating and working just as much as with my other workouts. If you're not convinced try doing Jessica's Cardio HIIT Party (Walk On: Walk The Weight Off 30 Day Program) - it's like doing an hour of cardio in 30 minutes and WOW do you burn those calories while having a lot of fun!! So, it really doesn't matter how you burn your calories just as long as you're burning them so do something that you enjoy so that you will stick with it - right?? Anyway, I highly recommend this workout - you won't be disappointed and you'll be excited to walk again after you're finished!

I purchased this BRAND NEW Jessica Smith 6 Mile Mix from Amazon and got it Tuesday night when it was released. I did the warm up, cool down, bonus stretch and miles 1-4 on Wednesday; and then miles 5 and 6 the next day so I could post this review this week. I really like the customized menu! I tried it out on Thursday with selecting the warm up, mile 5, mile 6, mile 1, and cool down. The cool thing about the custom menu is that you can select any workout you want to do, in whatever order you want to do! If you want to do just the strength training segments with the band-you would select mile 2, 3 and 5. If you want to do just cardio-you would select mile 1, 4 and 6. I highly recommend always doing the warm up and cool down segments because miles 1-6 are fast paced and she gets right into the workout. The bonus stretch segment is really good as well! You will need a chair for the bonus stretch. The warm up and all the mile segments show a countdown clock on the bottom right of the screen. The cool down and bonus stretch do not have a clock countdown. I like the clock feature because when I’m feeling a little tired I can always push myself to do more when I see what little time I have left. It’s also really helpful for my 5 year old to be able to see the clock when he’s exercising with me. The first day I tried the workout with a friend and we both agreed that the time went by REALLY fast (and we did 4 miles!). I was pleasantly surprised that although I have alot of home workout dvds and Jessica Smith workout dvds, that this one is very different! She has alot of new movements and patterns that I’ve never done before. I was hesitant to buy it because sometimes resistance band workouts irritate my upper back, but I love Jessica Smith workouts so I bought it anyway. I’M SO GLAD THAT I DID! I really love it and plan on doing this workout with her phase II calendar rotation with other Jessica Smith workout dvds. I made sure to the bonus stretch both days so my back wouldn’t hurt after using the resistance band and I haven’t had any trouble. Jessica and the cast are using 6 foot resistance bands but she says in the intro segment that you could use whatever length you have at home. I only had a 5 foot one which I used and it worked fine. I knew a 6 foot one would be better so I bought a set online to use the next time I did this workout. The music is great and just loud enough to be heard. The usual cast of Beth and Debbie are in it which I love! Debbie shows modifications and Beth shows the more advanced higher impact movements. This dvd uses the same background set as her Walk Strong DVD set. Here is the time breakdown for each segment so you can plan accordingly: Warm up (6:10 mins) Mile 1 Steady Burn (15:47 mins) Mile 2 Upper Body Sculpt with band (15:25 mins) Mile 3 Lower Body Toner with band (15:35 mins) *you are on the floor from 10:50-15:35. Mile 4 Cardio Interval Abs (15:25 mins) 3 rounds of 3 different intervals Mile 5 Today Body Tune Up with band (16:05 mins) Mile 6 Speed Walk (12:15 mins) with jogging Cool down (5:00 mins) no clock Bonus stretch with chair (5:50 mins) no clock
