Madeleine Lewis, a seasoned aerobics instructor and choreographer of countless cardio workout programs, fuses traditional aerobics with fitness walking techniques in Get Moving! Walking for Weight Loss. Sensitive to the knowledge that many women find it difficult to work a regular exercise regimen into their daily routines and thus avoid cardio altogether, Lewis demonstrates that three ten-minute workouts tone and sculpt the body as much as one thirty-minute workout (and offer the same physiological advantages); she uses this knowledge as the basis for the scheduling suggested in this program, which proposes four ten-minute workouts as the equivalent of one forty-minute regimen. Moreover, Lewis introduces viewers to three distinct ways of doing each workout, and works in a ten-minute cool-down routine. Editor's Note: Get Moving! Walking for Weight Loss has been recently repackaged and reissued by Gaiam, Inc. as Cardio Burn, as verified by the label. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
