I ordered the 28-Day Size Down Challenge.
Don't know why I jumped on this, but both sounded so appealing. I purchased from the Evergreen Welness site. The DVD order included free shipping and instant online access. I'd just sold a college text on ebay and my Paypal balance covered it.
The 28-Day plan includes 7 8-minute-ish workouts that will be interspersed throughout the 4 weeks:
The 28-Day calendar includes an intro video, warm up, warm down, and stretch with the 8-minute workout. There are one-two rest day(s) each week. I just finished Day 1, Total Body. A man and a woman do the workout with Jaime leading. Exercises changed about every 30 seconds. There were some jacks and some running in place during the cardio intervals, but he mentioned (late) low impact options. He also says you can do the workouts multiple times if you have the time. In addition to the workouts, there are meal and snack recommendations, grocery lists, and printable workbook-like pages for your reflections. Jaime seems very likable. The exercises (so far) are basic and well-paced. It's not as "polished" as many other productions and he hasn't focused on form pointers. The exercisers work at their own pace instead of on a specific beat or count. I'm doing this with a family member who is resistant to exercise (autism spectrum). It's short and he can't find too much to complain about (yet!) You can access 4 different workouts if you enter your email at the bottom of this information page: https://shop.myevergreenwellness.com/ Hope this helps! |

In the Rock the Walk Abs sample, he does a standing forward crunch 4 different segments
and the high-low twist squat on one side only without switching sides in only one segment so these are not evenly designed. This flaw is making me hesitate to order the streaming of the Rock the Walk. Also have no clue how long this site will continue since I never got a reply to a question I had asked. (ETA: finally got an unimpressive response making me think these series were just churned out quickly and cheaply) I do like the idea of a weight move alternating with walking every 20 seconds for 8 minutes.

I just picked up Rock the Walk and wanted to check this thread out hoping to find reviews of his other two offerings, to start I ordered from Amazon and my copy came in a regular DVD case, pressed DVD and a rotation calendar. However I don't think I'm gonna get as much variety as I hoped this is the list of workouts:
Warm Up - 2 minutes SUSIE: Cardio Flex Abs Arms Legs Sprint Interval DOUG: Cardio Flex Abs Arms Legs Sprint Interval CARY: Cardio Flex Abs Arms Legs Sprint Interval Warm Down - 2 minutes Stretch - 8 minutes I'm just beginning to preview, however it seems the workouts are similar just using a different background exerciser. I think I will hang on to this though, I do like shorter workouts that don't have a warm-up or cool down/stretch included so I can use them as add-ons. |
