I'm definitely getting a workout. My muscles are VERY sore. I'm going to keep using it for a while at least when I can't walk outside because I believe it's actually more effective than just the walking since I'm so sore. I bounce around like crazy-dancing sort of-or running in place and swinging my arms too so I feel very energized afterwards. I definitely did not want to do it to begin with at 6:10 a.m. this morning but once I started I enjoyed it and felt great all day.
