Interval Power Walk/Jog was an intense little cardio interval workout from Jessica Smith! It is one of her free YouTube workouts. It seemed like it would be super easy at first, but Jessica times her intervals by songs and the songs are not short! So the high intensity intervals went on a long time! The intervals were not HIIT level but they were intense. I got a great workout.
This is a bit unusual for one of Jessica’s YouTube workouts. Jessica’s mom, Debbie, joins her. Debbie is frequently in Jessica’s DVD workouts but the only company Jessica ever has in her YouTube workouts is her French Bull Dog, Peanut. Just like in the DVDs, Debbie shows the easier versions of the exercises. A golden lab is present rather than Peanut. Her name is Megan and I am guessing she is Debbie’s dog. She shows up near the end of the workout. Her tail is wagging but she looks perplexed by what Jessica and Debbie are doing.
Interval Power Walk/Jog is 34 minutes; 5 minute warm up and 2:30 minute cool down. As already mentioned, Debbie is showing easier versions of all of the moves. I followed Jessica and I found it intense and high impact. But if you follow Debbie then it will be an easier, low impact workout.
