WATP Question - sorry if it's dumb...

[December99]

I just don't get the concept of this I guess and I want to know a bit more before I decide to try this -

Do you walk standing in place or do you walk around the inside of your house? That part just dumbfounds me and I'm sorry if this seems like a dumb question. I'm the kind of person that wants to be alone when I work out because I'm so large I don't like people watching me. To imagine walking around my house with my family just sitting there watching me would be hard for me. But if it was a "standing in place" type of thing then I have several rooms where I will get some privacy to do this.

It is a DVD or video, where you are in constant movement. Your feet do not stop moving and you do the equivilant of a whatever mile walk that you have bought. It is not the equilivant to miles per hour though so you have to remember that if you are putting it in fitday...

Chris, I had my doubts too.....but I love it.
You "march" in place doing various other leg movements.....knee raises, kicks...and get arms going too.
It's fun and easy to follow and doesn't take a lot of room.

I don't exercise with anyone watching either and this works well.
1 mile takes 15 minutes, 2 miles 30 minutes etc.
And it is a good workout!

My lets and rear end are really showing it....that's where my pants are hanging loose now

I don't like for others to watch me exercise, either. It is an easy workout and only requires enough room for you to:

Walk in place
Step one stride to the right and left
Lift your leg in front of you
Stretch your arms in front of you, over your head and out to both sides.

You could do this in a teeny area.

99, you know as well as I do that the only dumb question is the question you don't ask No dumb questions on WISH.

Oh man! That is so obvious when you see it!! I was sitting here thinking

Walk and take pride
Walk all the ...
We are talking poochie (Don't know where that came from!)
Walk away the pudge (Almost had it there!)

PHEW! What a relief to have an answer!

I think I like "Walk Away the Pudge" better than the real name
