Hi Team!
In an effort to help us keep up with your questions and posts (and hopefully not miss any!), we kindly ask that you post any and all questions here on this specific thread and keep your check ins and posts going on our weekly threads (week one can be found here, we’ll be posting week 2-6 as we go through the program).
And we very much appreciate your patience and cooperation with us as we strive to reply to all questions to the best of our ability.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi, my question is in regard to The Ultimate Workouts For Weight Loss 4-DVD Collection. I purchased these 4 DVDs separately and love the workouts. Is there a rotation that uses all 4 of them to maximize results? I would love to have a rotation like the ones for the Walk Strong or Walk On programs, that uses only the 4 DVDs in this set. I think that such a rotation / calendar will help me use the workouts way better than randomly picking segments from the DVDs to do. Maybe such a calendar is included in the combined 4-DVD set. But I bought the DVDs not as a bundle and am lacking the guidance and inspiration how to rotate them sensibly over a period of time to see good results.
Thanks in advance!

Hi cicikay! Thank you so much for joining us for these programs! We do have a rotation for those sessions – you can download the printable calendar here: http://www.jessicasmithtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Ultimate-Workouts-for-Weight-Loss-Rotation_printable.pdf These titles are also all included in our updated 6 week Walk On and Walk Strong master rotation calendars available here: http://walkonwalkstrong.com/walk-strong-2/ Hope that helps and that we’ll be able to join you for another session soon 🙂
Hi. I’m new to the community and I want to check. In 1.0, there’s Jessica and Debbie and Beth. Is that the same team in 2.0 and 3.0?

Hi Audrey! Welcome to our Walk Strong community! Debbie joins in for the 2.0 plan and both Debbie and Beth are back for our Walk Strong 3 series. Hope that helps 🙂
Hi Jessica,
I am loving the WalkStrong Program so far! I just discovered your 15 minutes post-workout stretch video on jessicasmithtv and I plan to add it to end of my workouts. Do you have a 5 minute dynamic stretch routine video that I could do before the workouts? If not, can you please make one soon! Thank you!

Hi Janet! We’re so glad you are joining us for this journey! We do not have a short dynamic stretch routine, but our newest DVD, “Total Stretch” does include a 30-minute Dynamic Stretch session. However, each session of the Walk Strong program does include a movement specific warm-up for the workout to come but feel free to add additional movement before or after each routine as you see fit. Hope that helps 🙂
Hi,
I am excited to begin my new Walkstrong program! I have very tight hamstrings and I am wondering if you recommend any stretching before or after the cardio workouts? Thank you!!!

Hi Janet! Welcome to the program! We are so glad you will be joining us for this journey. To answer your question, with the exception of dynamic stretching in preparation for your workouts, stretches should be done afterwards. Please feel free to add your own additional stretches or our stretch or prehab routines to the end of any session as you see fit. 🙂
I’m in the second week of Walk Strong 2.0 (for the 2nd time, with heavier weights and keeping up with the advanced moves with no problem). However, the scale has not moved and when I measure my waist, hips, thigh, etc. they are larger than a month ago. My clothes are fitting better. What’s going on?

Hi Jen! Thanks so much for joining us for another round of the 2.0 plan! And congrats to you on all of your hard work – it sounds like you are really changing your body composition! If you are looking for a more accurate measurement of results (though your clothes fitting looser are a great indication!), you may want to have your body fat tested professionally so that you can track the improvements you are making that the scale won’t show. Hope that helps 🙂 Keep up the great work you are doing taking care of your body and your health.
