Great video, very soothing. I enjoy walking and/or jogging up to 4 miles daily and the DVD I purchased, assist me with doing both, on my Incline trainer machine.

Review of Virtual Walk DVD: Fitness Journeys - Along the Beach DVD
First of all, let me say that I love the "Fitness Journeys" from The Ambient Collection! They are all interesting changes from TV. I love nature and cannot always get outside to enjoy it. This collection takes me there, wherever I choose to go. There are three soundtracks to choose from, but nothing really distinguishes one from the other. All three are waves washing in and occasional gulls calling. There is no music at all. Perhaps a music option would be nice for some people. Part of the tracks has the water to my left and part of them is filmed with the water to my right. At some points I passed flocks of sea gulls and could hear them calling. This is beautiful! The speed of the camera seems to match my stride no matter what speed I set my treadmill or elliptical to. I don't feel that it is dragging behind or that I have to rush to keep up. All in all, a BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY! I can definitely feel the spray on my face and the sand between my toes!

Review for Fitness DVD: Fitness Journeys - Through the Forest 2
I have bought about 6 of your Fitness Journey DVDs and I like them very much. I watch them while I am on my treadmill and not only am I getting fitter by walking and running I find that the beautiful scenery shown on your DVDs has a meditative effect on my mind as well, helping me to get fit and also to relax after a stressful day at work. I love listening to the birds and other nature sounds on the DVDs and find I can get myself into the “zone” where I can imagine that I am walking along a tropical road, an outback road in Australia or along the beach.
I hope you continue to produce these DVDs and I have subscribed to your YouTube page so that I can be informed of any new videos that you upload.
Thank you for making my workout more enjoyable.

Review of Virtual Walk DVD: Fitness Journeys - Along the Beach DVD
I have just ordered my third DVD (Along the Beach, Coastal scenery and Tropical Palm Trees) to help me through long workouts on the treadmill and/or stationary bike... All I can say is WOW!! what a difference to indoor workouts... I can usually push myself to a longer workout and when the outdoor weather isn’t nice, well BONUS. The DVD’s are well done, color is excellent, sound effects so real, etc... Job well done to you! I have noticed with the Along the Beach DVD, you even meet 2 people (virtual) walking on the beach in one of the programs... I don’t know how possible it is, but it would be motivating to have more of this: virtual people in videos either walking, running, riding a bicycle, etc...

It is a very long realistic walk/run along beach. I especially liked the interaction of the seabirds which took to flight as you approached them. The film is scenic with excellent sound effects. I use it often. I play lively music with video to help perk up exercise session.

I love to walk or jog down the beach. Who doesn't?! This is the next best thing to actually being there. This DVD offers 5 different walks, each with it's own allure.
Track 4: You walk along the water's edge and watch the waves slowly come in and go out. You can almost feel the water wash over your feet and feel the gentle tug of the tide going out again.
Track 5: Walk down the beach watching a beautiful sunset. You hardly even notice the time passing as you watch the sun going down and the vibrant colors changing hues and intensity!
My first week, I used this DVD in my daily exercise 20-80 mins each day. I did not want to miss a day of exercise. It has been very motivational to keep me moving!
I highly recommend this DVD. The quality of the filming is outstanding!

Another great DVD. I now have eight! All measure up to their trailers. I sent an email query prior to ordering and response time was quick and extremely helpful. Delivery was super-fast. Thank you!

I find this DVD very restful indeed. It really lifts my mood with the wonderful sound of the waves and the invigorating calls of the sea birds. The film is of a walk along a superb sandy beach with these uplifting sounds in the background. I become totally absorbed in the scene, and when I am exercising the time seems to fly by.
There are also three different nature sound tracks to choose, which adds to the enjoyment I experience from this DVD. The wide, flat beaches with sea birds in view; the sounds of the waves and the birds make this walk extremely special. My favourite track is the last one, which is a most beautiful sunset.
When the weather outside is rainy or cold, I can put on this DVD and wallow in the beautiful, warm and restful atmosphere. I feel as if I am on a wonderful holiday.

I love the fitness DVD's. They make an otherwise boring walk/jog on my treadmill much more interesting. I especially like Along the Beach since I live in the mountains and have no access to a beach environment. The sounds of the waves and birds are so soothing, or I can listen to my own music or training CD's. I really enjoy these in the winter when the cold/snow/darkness keep me from going outside. The filming is so smooth and the pace works no matter how fast or slow I want to go. There are so many new DVD's to choose from. I look forward to purchasing more of them in the future.

This DVD is perfect for a workout with a treadmill. I have also used the DVD with my exercise bike and even with the use of an exercise bike it is great fun. You have the choice between different videos so that you can also work out in the sunset or also at a shell beach. This DVD makes it possible that you can combine relaxation and your workout all in one. I especially liked that in every video you have the choice of three different background noises. Thus, on this DVD there is something for everybody. I can only recommend the DVD.

"A Walk On The Beach"
Another high quality release from The Ambient Collection.
Very nice locations but can be a little tedious, not much scenery or variation.
The sunset walk is lovely.
Some of the beaches are under water.
Occasionally you see birds and gulls which add interest.
There are 3 audio tracks to choose from.
One features very close water sounds, another has the water more distant and subtle winds, the other choice has much more turbulent wind which I find disconcerting. This combined with cloudiness makes me feel like I am stuck in the middle of nowhere with an approaching storm!
Overall a very relaxing, very soothing DVD.
