If you enjoy working out at home, this is a must-have workout. On days that you're just not feeling 100%, skip the weights and still get a great cardio workout.

The other outstanding motivator in these workouts is her walking group: real people! Deb is in her 50's, Randy is an older man, a new mother, and women in their 20's and 30's round out the walkers.
