As millions of dieters have already discovered, the key to the weight-loss plan outlined in On a Diet is the daily thirty-minute walk. Now the bestselling authors of the YOU series, Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz, have created an original audio program specifically designed to help you meet your daily walking goal -- and have fun doing it.
On a Walk presents two thirty-minute walks, one faster and one slower, set to music that is timed to keep you moving at the pace that is right for you. Along the way, Drs. Roizen and Oz keep you company as you walk -- telling you about the benefits of walking, sharing pointers and health tips for you to think about, and motivating you to keep going for the entire half hour, all in their signature comfortable, encouraging and entertaining style. You'll also hear some important insights on setting and attaining your weight loss goals, and learn some simple stretches to help you get started.
This is not a book, but instead a follow along walking program I purchased from Audible. The music is the lame kind of royalty free tracks you would expect, but Dr. Oz and Roizen do offer some encouraging words and guidance during the walking program. I couldn't help thinking in this day and age this should have been an app and not an audio program. At least with an app of this sort, you can generally choose your own music.
I expected a little more from this "book" than it delivered! First off, the beat to the music, while easily walked by me, would have been a killer for my husband, who I was trying out the book for. And that was the EASY walk. Pretty much a waste of time
This is a good recording to listen to while taking a walk and stretching out. The doctors give good advice on how to be fit. The music is not great, but it may help form a healthy habit. When I walk on my own, I can listen to anything.
This audio CD is a nice way to start a walking routine. There are two CD's, and each CD contains one 30 minute walking routine set to music. The authors encourage you at intervals throughout the 30 minute walk and lead you through a series of stretches afterwards. Nice way to get motivated. Feels like you're walking with a friend.
