Tell me about the John Abdo walking workouts
 

I tried on of his workouts once. He just about drove me crazy with everything he said. He talks A LOT and, unlike Leslie, his constant chatter drove me nuts. It has been a long time since I did it and I didn't retain much of what I saw.

All of the thread about him are fairly old. There are some threads at this link - http://forum.videofitness.com/search...archid=1876323

I liked them and found him entertaining in a corny way.

who would have liked them even more if the music were louder

Don't remember ninja punches.
Just did it once and never felt the need to visit with him again. Didn't find him overly annoying but I did get a used car salesman stereotype vibe (don't flame me if you or a loved one is a used car salesman, I am talking about the cariacture) and it just didn't feel right. Or should I say infomercial shill vibe (again, the cariacture).
If I could find mine, I would send it to you but I must have donated it somewhere along the way.

Yeah, I don't remember ninja punches either. Sorry! (They must not have been memorable? ;))

I've owned both of them at one time. They are really, really corny - especially the second, more advanced one. His "walking" includes swimming motions, climbing ropes (nothing more than arm raises) and other run-of-the-mill moves that he's made up his own names for. If I remember correctly, his ninja punches were just plain ol' jabs. JMO - don't waste your money!

Other people's trash are my treasures :)

who found John Abdo more creative than Leslie

Barb, I am with you. Most people's negatives are my positive.
But I wasn't feeling the love with John. That was also in the infancy of my doing DVDs at home so who knows how I would feel today. Since I do Leslie but don't listen to Leslie, it could be totally different now with John.
