Summary: A tad boring, sorry!
Comment: Well, Oprah is a powerful salesperson and I saw this when she had Dr. Oz on her show. The CD's arrived and I was excited to give them a try. I really wanted to like them!

Yes, there are two CD's: a beginning, & an advanced CD. But I was anticipating more coaching, more chatting to me about health tips/issues while I walked, and instead had more 'elevator'-type music than I wanted. I like 'elevator' music if it's from popular songs, but this was a general type of music :( BORING! The ONE thing I LOVED was that the voice encouraged me to hang in there, and at the 1/2 way mark/time, it actually said "You're HALF-WAY through the walk! Good for you!" I like knowing when I'm half-way :) But since I take the same walk route, I began to mentally mark the spot where I was half way, so no need to hear it again except to gage if I was faster/slower than the previous day.

I actually walked faster and stepped up my mood as well listening to: The Beatles/1962-1966! The songs are fast and slow mixed so you're naturally adjusting your walk rate. I just put the CD player (I know, totally 'old school'!) on 'repeat' as the side finishes before 30 minutes are up :)

Summary: Not worth the money - YOU on a walk
Comment: YOU on a Walk CD was not at all motivational. I felt like I was riding on an elevator the entire time -- not energizing for me.

Summary: Piece of JUNK !!!
Comment: There is nothing in the CD. Too basic and cheap music. The tips provided are few and very basic. After reading You the Owners Manual, this is just plain junk.

I think the authors are trying their best to publish as much as possible. . . too bad they will loose out. I am not buying anything from these guys now.

How can get a refund !!

Summary: A waste of money from a normally good writer
Comment: This audio CD is a complete waste of money in my opinion.

The CD is broken up into 4 parts. A brief introduction, a 30 minutes walk with an occassional tip thrown in, stretches, and finally an instrumental version without the tips.

The music is horrible. Think grocery store or elevator music. I don't see how anyone could increase their heart rate listing to this music. Not that I was expecting Metallica or 50 cent but the music was a HUGE dissappointment. The tips on this CD can be obtained from many of these guys other books as well as the stretches.

If you have an Ipod or some other MP3 player you can make a much better workout CD than wasting your money on this one.

I must admit I was surprised by this CD since the other books by these authors are top notch.
