From AudioFile
The ubiquitous You authors now have a nifty program of music, instruction, and support that people can listen to as they walk. It will remind many listeners of TV exercise programs that seem silly but actually do keep people moving when they feel like going to the couch. Help with posture and breathing is part of the instruction, and the cheesy disco music becomes enjoyable once youre moving with the beat. The ongoing encouragement is genuine and upbeat, and the tunes are paced differently enough to make the 30-minute segments stimulating. With instructions for other rhythmic exercises as well, the program is great for anyone who needs the structure to maintain an exercise program, and is a useful companion to the authors other excellent book, YOU: ON A DIET.

Great Way to Lose Weight !!!
If you're the type of person who gets bored about 10 minutes into the walk around your neighborhood, this CD program is a great way to help you to keep going. On this CD, you have the choice of a couple of differently paced walks, a music option, and during the walks you have an "angel" in your ear, talking with you and encouraging you to keep going.

When I walk, it's usually on a treadmill, and listening to this CD is a great alternative to watching the TV. It makes the time go faster, and it's a great way to keep track of how long you're walking. And I find it motivating.

I have lost about 30 lbs from treadmilling and watching my food consumption, following the guidelines that Dr. Roizen and Dr. Oz suggested.

The companion program is great too !! This is a recommended program.

Tremendously helpful
I have many walking music products, but this one keeps you in a constant, rhythmnic tempo. Disk one is a good tempo for me and I get a good workout from it. I haven't tried disk 2 yet. It is a faster tempo. You get encouraging words from the doctors as you walk and that too helps motivate you to continue til the end. I recommend this one. Thanks

YOu on a walk
The music is really not very inspiring and nothing that is said on these discs is new. You would be better off taking an mp3 player on a walk and playing your own music. I love Dr. Oz, but this is truly useless. And I had to scrounge around for an old diskman player. Use an mp3 and play your own music and save your money. Spend it on his books instead.
