Walking Stronger -- It's a wrap!

Filming of Walking Stronger wrapped at about 11:30 this morning. All went wonderful. The workout is just over 60 minutes total plus we did some floor work including lower body, some total body and abs. We decided to make it a family affair by including my two nieces (Bobbi's 2 girls) in the abs segment. Caroline is a ballerina and she and her soccer player sister Samantha work your core with you - the moves are fresh and quite intense! And yes, Scarlett made her debut! She does her signature wave at the end of the DVD - quite adorable!

I will be sore tomorrow, for sure. Here is the breakdown of the Walking Stronger workout:

There are 12 segments of the Treadmill workout:

Warm Up: 5 minutes, we start at no incline and then slowly raise the bar, we warm the upper body and get prepared for our weight training, circuits and hills.

Combo 1: Hills - our speed never moves but our legs sure do! Here is a sample of what we do:

Min 1: 5% incline 4.0 mph
Min 2: 7% incline 4.0 mph
Min 3: 9% incline 4.0 mph
Min 4: 12% incline 4.0
Min 5: 15% incline


Bobbi is the modifier on the treadmill so her incline is lower and her speed was at a 3.0 mph. Allison was on the floor showing level 1 - walking in place with her knees to hip height, Level 2 she added her arms, then she also showed level 1 on the step with knee lifts and level 2 on the step by adding her arms.


Combo 2 - Walking Lunges/Inner/Outter thigh with squat

Min 1: Walking lunge with kick back 15% incline and 1.5 mph
Min 2: Walking lunge with kick back 15% incline and 1.5 mph
Min 3: Side step with squat R
Min 4: Side step with squat L
Min 5: Walking lunge with kick back 15% incline and 1.5 mph

Bobbi modifies, staying at 10% incline

Allison on Floor Level 1 - 30 seconds on right leg with leg with rear leg extension/30 seconds on left leg with rear leg extension

Allison on Floor Level 2 - power right leg 30 seconds, jumping up and down in a lunge on the same leg, then switching legs

Allison on Bench Level 1 - lunge 30 seconds right leg with rear lift on bench/same on left

Allison on Bench Level 2 - power jumps 30 r/30 left

Min 5: 4.0 bent arm lateral raise, 30 seconds - REPEAT from top

Bobbi is walking at 3.0 mph and Allie is walking in place holding 5 lbs DBS
Bobbi has 3 lb DBs
I am wearing wrist weights throughout the whole workout and I add light DBS for upper body work.










Combo 4 - Walk Forwards/Walk Backwards - INTERVALS

Min 1: 30 seconds 7% incline walk 4.0 mph/then turn and walk Backwards
Min 2: 3.0 mph 10% incline 20 - 30 seconds walking forwards/turn & walk BACKWARDS 1 minute

Min 5: 10% incline walk 3.5 mph 20 seconds/Walk BACKWARDS 15% incline 3.0 mph 40 seconds


Bobbi starts out with her incline at 0% and is going 2.0 mph, then she raises her incline to 5% but keeps her speed slow to get the feel of this move.

Allison does high knees and then reverse lunges, then moves onto the step for Levels 1 & 2 doing step ups and power ups - she adds balance to her reverse lunges and then adds power by jumping into a knee up (from the reverse lunge).
