Kathy Smith Powerbelt Walking Workout

Does anyone have this? Is it any good? Does it really matter - because I already went ahead and ordered it anyway.

Where did you order it from? I have been trying to find that. I already have the Power Belt. Were you able to order just the workout alone?

You can order it at bodytrends.com for $4.95.

I just got a Powerbelt. I have been using it with Leslie's workouts. I used to use dumbbells with a walking workout and I have to say the Powerbelt feels entirely different.

I think the powerbelt will work well with kickboxing workouts also. I didn't think of using it with kickboxing until I watched the clip on Body Trends.com and they show someone using it that way.

Just as a funny aside, I didn't know the first time I used the Powerbelt that the gizmos moved to bring them closer to the buckle. I looked at the box and couldn't for the life of me figure out how Denise Austin had the handles on the sides of her body and why my handles were in the back. DUH! When in doubt read the instructions. LOL!

Thanks for the info. I take my powerbelt on vacation and use it for outdoor walking. It would be really nice to find an audio workout made for the powerbelt.

I got this workout yesterday and did it last night. Kathy and two other people are walking on treadmills throughout the workout - I pretty much marched in place throughout the whole workout. Kathy uses the belt A LOT - much more than Leslie does in her workouts - so much so, in fact, that I was starting to wish that I had used one of the lower resistance levels on my belt. It's too bad the music isn't very good in this one. Also, when Kathy announces a power burst and increases the speed on her treadmill, the music does not change to a faster paced song, so the music is just there for background noise - not something you can really keep time to. Too bad - I would have liked this much better with good music. I'm not big on marching in place for a long period of time, but my arms were so busy, I hardly noticed. I guess the whole workout only ran about 25 minutes - maybe a couple minutes more.

Sherry,

I just did it again - the warm up is about 4 minutes, the main workout about 20 minutes and then the stretch is about 3 minutes.
