Debbie Rocker's Walk, Sculpt & Tone |
  Not a good one for me |
| I usually refrain from writing negative reviews, because I know everyone has to find what works for them, but I have to say, this is not one I would recommend. I am 39, and intermediate to advanced with walking/toning style workouts. As others have stated, the cuing is pretty bad. I didn't have much trouble at first with Debbie introducing a move too long before she goes into it, but the lack of rhythm really threw me off. Added to that was the music that never increased in pace to me, and moves that were entirely too simple. It just never got my heart rate up or challenged me at all. Leslie Sansone may be repetitive, but when she says intensity is going to increase, it increases! Debbie also is very talkative, but not motivating at all. I can't even recommend this to beginners. The poor cuing and instruction are distracting, which counteract her goal in keeping the moves simple so we can focus. Very disappointing. - posted by Sharon on 11/3/2011 |

| Not perfect but effective |
| I like to do walking videos on slower days and this one kicks it up a notch from Leslie Sansone. I don't mind the instructor at all, in fact, I like her seriousness. The cuing is little off at times, but it's only walking so not near as frustrating as videos that have tricky footwork with poor cuing or show faces when you desperately need to see where to put your feet. - posted by JC on 9/30/2011 |

| OMG |
| Firstly, if anyone thinks that a simple walking tape is a walk in the park this tape will wake you up....easy it is not...by the 60th minute I was praying for the end to come. It's challenging and by the time you're done, you know you've had a good work out. That's the positive....now for the negative....this woman is the most annoying instructor I've experienced. I've been doing these exercise tapes for years and she takes the cake. Her voice is soooo annoying and if she said one more time "you know what to do" I was going to scream....her cuing stinks...four moves before you're expected to change she announces that you should change.....very confusing. I wish I could just turn off the sound and follow her moves, but I fear that would be even more confusing. I will probably do this every now and then, but in the regular rotation it won't be.... - posted by Joanna on 9/22/2011 |

| Better workout cleaning my house. |
| I'm sorry, but I found this workout to be frustrating and boring. The exercisers were out of sync with the music - very annoying. There was way too much marching in place. I found myself looking at the clock often. I also tended to look at one of the background exercisers during the boxing section because she had better form than the instructor. There were some bicep curls where no weights were used - really? No weights at all? I can get more of a workout emptying my dishwasher! If I can get more of a workout cleaning my house than doing a video, then it is not worth it in my opinion. This workout should be rated Beg/Int because I just didn't feel any effects until about 50 minutes into the routine. Better if you use light handweights during the walking sections. After I was done, I felt tired - like I went to the mall for 4 hours - rather than refreshed and pleasantly worked out. - posted by Patty on 9/14/2011 |

| Walk, Sculpt and Tone |
| Love this work out. I sprained my ankle and was looking for something to get back in the swing of things. this was great. I like that you can do the whole dvd or just part. awesome:) - posted by Rebecca on 8/30/2011 |

| Good, solid walk and tone workout |
| This is a good walking and toning DVD. The desert scenery is beautiful and will be inspiring during my cold New England winters. This was my first Debbie Rocker DVD I found her to be a motivating and good all-around instructor. You can choose a 30 or 60 minute routine depending on your schedule. I love the 30 minute option. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish the 60 minute option had more variety. - posted by Ruby on 8/26/2011 |

| POWERWALK!!! |
| this review is for the audio CD that comes with the set. It is a fantastic power walk motivator, if you can get past Debbie's voice telling you "you ARE a good person, and people like you" well, not really that, but it's just as bad, talking about "your bottom" eewwww. I take this to the track with my walking poles, and have at it. Like I said, get past her voice, and just follow the beat to a butt burning, leg strengthening walk outside. love it - posted by MAD CITY IZZY on 8/25/2011 |

| Enjoyable workout |
| As one just beginning to exercise to lose a few pounds, I enjoyed this video. The sculpting and toning definitely made me break a sweat and I liked Debbie Rocker's cueing. The scenery couldn't have been more beautiful--I look forward to doing this workout again! - posted by Lilly on 8/19/2011 |

| very challenging |
| I just tried this one for the first time. I do Leslie Sansone a lot, especially if my knees are bothering me from heavy workouts. I have to say this one was pleasantly challenging. I really liked the pace and the length of the workout. I will keep this one in my rotation. I am always looking for a good walking tape as I am getting bored with walk away the pounds and Leslie Sansone. Note, this is not a beginner workout. I workout daily and this was challenging. - posted by kelly on 6/13/2011 |

| Rocker's walk, sculpt and tone |
| I like that this combines walking with toning. It is more of a workout than a Leslie Sansone walk workout. My only criticism is that Debbie does a lot of talking. It okay the first time you hear it, but if you want to do this workout often, it is a lot of chatter. - posted by Mary on 12/17/2010 |
