Providing all of the elements of a thorough workout with an option to mix-and-match segments, this latest entry in ebullient instructor Leslie Sansone's Just Walk series features 10 different mini-walks that can be customized into a personalized routine. Walk Blasters incorporates Sansone's core steps for her signature walk-at-home regimen, including sidesteps, kicks, and knee-lifts. One of three pre-planned routines, the “Total Body Walk” segment incorporates five of the mini-walks, including the “Light Walk” warm-up, “Upper Body Blast,” “Lower Body Blast,” “Tummy Trimmer,” and cool-down “Flexibility Walk.” Reminding viewers not to stress about perfect choreography, Sansone also offers her top 10 “Healthy Lifestyle Tips,” some of which are good (“Keep your spirit fed”), some that could use more explanation (“Lower your standards”), and some that make you feel like you're being chastised (on breakfast: “Don't you skip it!”). Featuring a bouncy soundtrack and easy-to-follow moves, this addition to the popular fitness series is highly recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
