Customer Reviews

Walking for a Healthy Heart With a Fun Routine
I have a number of walking tapes and CDs and this one is, to me, the best. The music is great and I often find myself dancing while I walk. The selections follow seamlessly so you never miss a beat, and the helpful suggestions, read by Rita Morena, are good. The CD includes a set of stretches and a calendar for keeping track of your progress, and the two programs let you move from Easy to Intermediate. I recommend this to anyone who's looking for a great walking program.

Sometimes basic is best....
I have many walking tapes, but sometimes I just want the encouragement without all the blather. This CD set a very nice pace, and I found Rita "speaking up" periodically helped to keep me focus when I started to drift off. One advantage to this over my iPod playlist is sometimes the music beat is too fast, and I'll get so caught up in the increased tempo that I risk straining something. I bought 2 more copies for family members.

Getting out and walking
I find I get bored easily when out walking,so the Healthy Heard Walking CD seems to keep me focused and gives me a goal to look forward to. I would recommend it as a useful tool for getting out of the house and moving!
