I'm wondering how you decided which workout BPMs to buy? Or did you do what I would do and just go by the songs? I know it sounds crazy but that walking cd is what pushed me over the edge on the Project You set. I really wanted it! Thanks again! Chris |

My mom had a few of these and she didn't like them at all. I got her the Kathy Smith set for Christmas last year and she said it was really cheesy and boring. I mean, how do you instruct a walking tape? Ummm.... walk..... walk faster! One foot in front of the other now! :rolleyes: She prefers just walking to her own music.

If you don't want to hear someone giving the occasional instruction (abs in, shoulders back, tighten your glutes...all good reminders for me! ) then something more along the line of Shape or Dynamix (I've never liked any Dymanix that I've had, but then again...it's all a matter of TASTE!) with just great music is probably more what you're looking for. It's all a matter of taste. I walk with mine, I run with mine. It doesn't seem to make a difference what bpm it is. I just feel like going faster when the music picks up! |

I can understand not wanting to hear Kathy's cues, but I think they'd help me too Mary.
One advantage these cds have over using your own music is the consistent bpm range. That way you have something helping you keep pace. Similar to using a treadmill, which makes you walk a certain speed. I know that when I walk now, I tend to start off very briskly but then I really start dragging. Since I don't wear a heart rate monitor the music is a helpful guide. Mary, do you use a rebounder? I think these cds would be really helpful with that too. |
