Time graph for Chris Freytag's Walking Cardio ShapeUp Max

Sorry, this item is sold out.
It is no longer available for sale.

Certified instructor description: Both workouts intermix short cardio segments with multi-muscle toning sections. It's a time-efficient combination that burns fat as it sculpts your entire body. The aerobic portions feature super-simple moves like side steps, marches, jogs and step-touches ("if you can walk, you can do this workout"). The toning segments are longer and more diverse. They include both standing and floorwork exercises, usually working your upper and lower body at the same time (e.g. a pulsed lunge paired with an overhead press). As always, Chris Freytag's cuing is clear and totally non-intimidating -- it feels like you're just casually working out with the "instructor next door." Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2010.

Chris Freytag's Walking Cardio ShapeUp Max
GREAT!!!!
Just love her work outs. Cardio and toning all in one. I also love the 10lb slim down and extreme 10lb. slim down. - posted by Paulette on 2/17/2012

Love This DVD
I found Chris Freytag on our free VOD and immediately loved her walking workouts. I decided to get the DVD after our VOD discontinued running them. I can make these workouts as hard or as easy as I want. They are just the right length and I feel like I've gotten a good workout. I don't like dancey workouts and the moves are easy to follow. Chris is great at cueing. The strength segments are slow enough for me to use heavier weights. I will be using this one for a long time. - posted by Lynn on 2/9/2012

Great
I love this video and do it every other day. - posted by carol on 2/3/2012

It is just what it wanted.
I love it! It is easy to follow and meets all of my needs. - posted by Janice on 1/27/2012

Don't let the title fool you
This video reminds me of the "low impact aerobic" videos back in the 80's. Choreography not too complex but it really keeps your heart pumping and the toning segments mixed in are great. By the end you do feel like you've focused on all parts of your body. Chris has great cueing and energy. Definitely will keep my eye out for more videos from Chris. - posted by Lynn on 1/27/2012

Kickboxing,walking, Cardio
Purchased several of her tapes and I am pleased to say I enjoy them all. - posted by Charlie on 1/26/2012

Great workout
This is a great workout. It incorporates walking and toning at the same time. - posted by Faye on 1/5/2012

Recommend it
It is a great total body workout. It takes a few times before you get the routine down, but after that it actually becomes enjoyable. I recommend it. - posted by Marlene on 1/3/2012

Great Workout
A Super workout. Combines cardio and strength Training. - posted by Mary on 12/29/2011

Buyer Beware!
I wished that the entire video MATCHED the title - Walking Cardio. Chris Freytag has to include "getting on the floor" routines in her videos. I wish that she would NOT DO THAT. I watched the video clip BEFORE I purchased it, and there were no "on the floor" routines shown. I hope Chris Freytag will read this review and create another walking cardio video WITHOUT ANY FLOOR ROUTINES !!!! - posted by Ellen on 11/25/2011 [note from Collage] Floorwork is mentioned in the written description. We apologize for the clip not showing any of those exercises, it has been changed to show some of those moves.

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
