Review of Treadmill DVD: Virtual Walks - Paradise Beaches
I have to admit I was a little skeptic about the purchase of these DVD's But was pleasantly surprised at how nicely done they were. It makes working out on my elliptical much of a more pleasant journey. I have let some of the girls at work know about your DVD's because in the winter time we like to be able to exercise indoors when the weather starts to get bad. Thanks a job well done on the DVD's

Review of Treadmill DVD: Virtual Walks - Paradise Beaches
Another excellent video from the folks at Virtual Walks---this time at the water's edge. The ocean on your left, palm trees on the right, and a vast, clean beach in front of you that all your's. I would say this is a "treadmill" DVD; it's hard for me to imagine riding a bike through the water lapping at my feet. The pace is for walking, as well. What makes it so wonderful is the sight and sound of the blue Pacific washing gently right up to you. You are walking at the high tide mark, at the edge of the wet sand. There's something hypnotic--and mind-clearing--about the sound of the waves. All my problems seem washed away by the action of the gentle surf. So I get a workout and a meditative experience at the same time!

If you like the beach you will love this DVD. I use it with my Treadmill and Eliptical machine and it works very well with them.There is three walks on this with different beaches. Walk One is on Nacpan beach, on this walk you will see a few people out with their dogs. The view is beautiful with Hills and Trees and the clouds floating by. As you walk the ocean is always in view, and your walking in the water, so you can almost feel the water on your toes and can smell the salt water.Walk Two is on Cadiao beach you will see birds, coconut palm trees,hear crickets. It seems as though this is in the evening time with low tide. You will see a few people along the way. some in the water. Along the shore you will see different colored boats. You will still be walking in the water and seeing the ocean the whole time. Walk Three you will see views of the El Nidos Islands. You will see Mangroves,Palm trees and see and hear the birds singing. At some points you walk alittle deeper in the water to go under over hanging trees, which I enjoyed. This beach has a complete different feel to it, the waves seems alittle louder and harder and you feel like you are the only person around. The view is very nice on this one as well. As you walk everything starts to have a orange glow as sunset starts. Then suddenly as you walk you see the sun setting over the ocean, you hear the crickets and it is so beautiful that you want to stay all night. Through this whole DVD you are walking in the water and its like you can feel the water lapping your toes and that you are there. You can't go wrong with this walk. It would also make a great DVD to just sit and enjoy.

Nice locations. Very relaxing walks for my treadmill exercise. As with all of the Tony Helsloot videos, the quality of film is great.

I am very disappointed with my Beach walk DVD I was expecting a lot more, even scene selection and some music to suit the location would have been nice, I'm sure you have better virtual walks but I don't have another 25 euro to see.

This was the first Virtual Walk DVD I bought and it encouraged me to start exercising regularly.
I have never been a fan of exercise, but I know consistent exercise is important for health. Until I bought this DVD, I had struggled over the years to find something that I could do and enjoy enough so that I would continue for the long term. I don't have a treadmill so I just put on my weighted gloves (giving me a full body workout), open the window and walk on the spot while watching the DVD.
I workout to 'Paradise Beaches' when it is cold and or wet outside or if I am feeling stressed as this calms me while I am getting fit.
The quality of the DVD is brilliant, and I can almost imagine I am actually walking along the sea edge on a sandy beach. The natural beach sounds add to my enjoyment of this DVD.

Review of Treadmill DVD: Virtual Walks - Paradise Beaches
Peaceful & Relaxing,
I am a woman in her mid 50's who hates and never does exercise in any way, shape or form. The doctor diagnosed me with some health issues that are not to be taken lightly. I knew I had to change some things and not exercising is one of them. So, I started to walk on an elliptical machine every day. At first, 5 minutes about killed me. : ) I finally got up to 20 minutes but quit because of the boredom. BUT, with this DVD, I walked over 30 minutes before I even realized that I had. The walk loops so it never ends until you stop it which I love immensely. It is a beautiful, peaceful, relaxing "walk".

Review of Treadmill DVD: Virtual Walks - Paradise Beaches
Makes Treadmill time go by fast,
I don't like walking on a treadmill, but in the winter with deep snow -- a treadmill is a must. Treadmills are MONOTONOUS because there is no change of scenery like walking outside. However, when I use this DVD the time seems to go by fast. I have a large LED TV in front of the treadmill and with a bit of imagination you can pretend you are walking on the beach.

Review of Treadmill DVD: Virtual Walks - Paradise Beaches
I love this one the best,
I have a few virtual walks, I love this one the best. What a great walk, maybe it's a preference(what you love the most). I love the water, ocean, lakes, streams, So this is my favorite til I find other walks near the water.

This DVD is like a little vacation. It shows a few of the greatest beaches of the Philippines. In your walks, which lead along the water and which make you thing like you’re getting wet feet, you occasionally meet other walkers. However often the beaches are deserted and you only see palm trees, water and the bright yellow beach. Some uprooted palm trees lie on the beach or stand in the way, so you have the feeling of having to sidestep. This is very realistic. With its speed, this DVD is very suitable for walking, but you can also only view it to just relax. The sea noises also have a very calming effect.
