A 45-minute cardio routine with a walking foundation. There are 3 different levels of intensity to choose from. Michelle Dozois instructs.

Beginning through intermediate exercisers — levels 2 and 3 are higher impact, and those with knee issues may want to take note of this. Because of the length of the workout, even level 1 may offer a good challenge for real beginners.

If you've mastered other walking workouts and they're starting to leave you cold — or if you thought that perhaps "walking" style workouts would be too easy for you — you may want to give this one a try. It's not a traditional "walking" routine, a la Leslie Sansone, but includes a larger variety of steps and intensities. For each segment, you get a choice of 3 different levels, from beginner's basic to real, sweat-inducing aerobics. You can follow whichever level feels right for you — rev it up a bit or take it easy — at any time during the workout. Even though the choreography is a bit more complex than just walking, the moves are still easy to do and instructor Michelle Dozois is a real pro whose cueing is excellent. You get a good 45 minutes' worth of cardio exercise here, so if you are a recently reformed couch potato, it may take you a while to make it through the whole routine. On the other hand, if you've been exercising for a while, you'll probably enjoy all the calorie burning you'll get from level 3 (which almost feels like interval training). Only those with knee issues, and who are working out on carpet need to be careful with the higher impact moves. Everyone else can leap around (or not) to their heart's content.
