Question for Jessica Smith Lovers

bubbles76 · 01-08-19, 07:56 AM

If I have the following Jessica Smith dvds:

All the Walk Strong Sets
All three 10 Pounds Down sets
Walk On 6 Mile Mix
Walk On: 3-DVD Super Set
Walk On: 15-Minute Fast Fat Blasts
The Ultimate Workouts for Weight Loss: 4-DVD Collection
Look Better Naked and the one she did for Women's Health

Do I need either her Walk On: Walk the Weight Off 30 Day Plan or her 21 Day Plan? A recent thread made me think that I need these sets, and with my Amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket, I'm catching feelings. Hmmm...now that I type out all the Jessica workouts I have, I'm wondering if maybe I can do without? Of course, that fact has not stopped me from acquiring 90% of Cathe's collection

Someone talk me into or out of these sets!

I have read that these sets are on the easier side so depends on what you want. I just bought her 3 new ones and have done both the walking one and the strength one and so far love them both.

I have both sets you are contemplating getting and they are among my favorite Jessica workouts, so my vote is to get them, especially seeing how her workouts seem to vary in availability - I say get them while you can. These are good sets.

You can probably do her Walk Strong rotations (and Youtube rotations) without those sets. Any of her 30-min. workouts can be easily substituted with another 30-min. workout that is in your collection (or online). That being said, I must say that I really like the cardio workouts in the 30-Day set.

Of course you don't need them, but......they are nice to have for variety and we are vidiots after all.

I recently pulled out Walk the Weight Off 30 Day set and found I really like it now. Don't know why I haven't used it more. The 30 Minute Strength Interval Walk has been my latest "go to" when I don't want to do a strength workout but know I need to. The 20 Minute Chair Stretch is pretty good too. All the walks are a nice variety.

The 21-Day set is good too. I'm not a fan of the strength workout on this one because it has mainly compound moves which I'm not a fan of but others here say it's their favorite. I love the Stride, Stretch, Relax Walk in this set for a light day....about a 15 minute light walk, about 10 minute nice chair stretch and about 5 minute relax breathing.

Tugger, I'm eyeballing the newest strength workout too. Not a must buy for right now, but definitely looks interesting. I like the set too.

I have a lot of Jessica's DVDs, but not all of the ones you listed. I have all the Walk Strong sets and the 6 Mile Mix and her two new ones (Power Walk and Get Strong). I really like her new Get Strong release because it's different from her usual strength work. The Strictly Strength workout from that DVD is all weights, which is what I've been looking for, but it really depends on what your goals are.

How does it compare to Cathe's strength workouts?

Tugger31 · 01-08-19, 02:59 PM

I have only done the strength only workout on the new strength dvd, have not done the workout that is mixed with cardio bursts yet. This strength workout is all standing so there is no chest presses or pushups or lying abs. She incorporates chest and abs into standing work. I think it is a very good solid intermediate weight training workout. It's on par maybe with Cathe's PushPull/Supersets in intensity minus all the equipment changes, you only need dumbbells and obviously came make it harder with heavier weights. I usually use Cathe and did this workout after having only worked out twice in one month due to having a sinus infection and the holiday craziness. I didn't use anything heavier than 10 lbs and I was sore for two days! I'm going to be trying the other strength one on this dvd soon. This one will have a good place in my collection b/c it's thorough, all standing, minimal equipment and a good total body workout. Forget to mention that her reps are slow and controlled, you don't feel rushed at all. I didn't count all reps on every exercise but she never did more than 16 reps in any one set.
