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!

Jessica, Will walking as primary exercise make the thighs bigger?

Hi Sally! We recommend a balanced mix of cardio, strength and flexibility training along with and a daily step goal (walking) in order to avoid creating any muscular imbalances 🙂
This morning I did the “Interval Mix” from the 6 Week Total Transformation System DVD set for the first time. I’m not sure why it was sooo hard for me though. I had to skip a session yesterday because of family health problems. And didn’t eat my normal health conscience diet either. Just curious for an opinion:
1. First time through the “Interval Mix” workout
2. Skipped a session
3. Ate way off diet
Or maybe it was a combination of all three?

Hi Kirsten! Interval Mix is definitely a challenge as it’s high intensity interval training, and the other factors you mentioned can definitely make it feel much harder. Don’t worry too much if you feel like you have an off day or workout – it’s normal and happens. How you nutrition, sleep, stress, etc. can all influence your energy level and ability to exert yourself so if you feel low energy on a higher intensity day feel free to swap out routines and save the tougher ones for days when you feel 100%. Hope that helps 🙂 Keep up the great work!

Today was day 23 Interval Mix again. I DID IT!!! It wasn’t easy but easier than last time!! Thank you for the encouragement – here and in the video! I was imagining who I am becoming doing these workouts. Then I looked at how my body has been changing and pushed on through the workout! I am changing my body and becoming a new person!!!

Love that Kirsten! Congrats to you on all of your hard work – please keep it up, you are doing fantastic 🙂
Hi Jessica,
I’m on the first week of phase II of Walk Strong 3.0. After Walk Strong 3.0, I would like to skip the Walk Strong Master Rotation and do the Walk On 6-Week Master Calendar and/or the Ultimate Weight Loss Calendar. If I do this will I lose strength training progress, even though Walk On incorporates many workouts that include weights. I’m on the last 30 lbs of my weight loss journey and I’m trying to stay on track by consistently working out for 30 min 6 days a week, however, I hate floor work and I think I’m getting walk strong fatigue and really want to incorporate some of your other workouts.
I have all your DVDs and your calendars have been instrumental in helping me stay on track.
Thank you!

Hi kjj1983! Thank you so much for joining us for our programs! Please feel free to mix up your routine as you see fit – consistency is key so if you prefer to go back to the other rotations, go for it! You can still increase your weight and/or add in the advanced options as appropriate to continue to progress. Hope that helps and that we’ll be able to join you for another session soon 🙂
