Walk and Box - Foreman and Petra Kolber

[Guest guest]

For cardio today, I decided to try a bargain I found a few weeks ago –

Walk and Box with Foreman and Petra Kolber, from the Walk It

Off With Foreman series.

This was really a fun one for me! I'd say it's a bit more intense

than your average , and the music is quite good, very upbeat.

The overall feel of the workout is very happy as well, with the

backgrounders adding some hooting and hollering here and there.

Petra and are in front on this one, with offering

friendly and encouraging comments, and Petra leading the exercises

and keeping count and pace. They interact very well with each other.

The whole workout is about 44 minutes. The warm up seemed a bit long,

like 6-7 minutes, and there isn't as much boxing as expected – cross

punch, hook, and upper cut – broken down into shorter segments. You

do keep moving the whole time though, and one really fun part is the

boxing bursts. During the one minute bursts (four in total) you have

the option to jog, jump rope, or do a boxing shuffle during the

burst. The backgrounders are of all ages and sizes, and it's fun to

see the different variations that they choose during the bursts. The

music has a great beat and is very fast during the bursts, too.

The cool down and short stretch are about 5 minutes, but since this

isn't super intense, that seemed just right to me. I wore my

weighted gloved with this one, and kept my arms moving in between

boxing – and worked up a pretty decent sweat. Plus, the happiness of

the workout put me in a good mood, lol! So, a nice little workout

that I'm looking forward to doing again sometime.

I see on amazon you can get many of 's walking workouts for

really cheap (I think I saw one for $0.23 plus shipping!) so I'll

have to read up on the others to see which ones I might like!
