Rating: Summary: This is the best walking tape Leslie Sansone has put out! Review: Wow, what a great workout! The music is funky, the steps are easy and not complicated, no jogging, just the best walking tape out there. I love this workout! It goes by so fast and honestly I don't feel like I'm putting forth alot of effort but by the end of this tape, the sweat is dripping off my body and the ends of my hair. I feel so energized afterwards, not worn out and tired. I have been waiting a long time for Leslie to come out with something longer than the 3 miles and it certainly was worth waiting for. If you're not ready for the full 4 miles, just build up to it. She lets you know when each mile is completed. This is now my all time favorite cardio workout!
Rating: Summary: Leslie Rocks Review: I've been using Leslie's workout videos for years and I believe the 4 mile super challenge is her best so far. If you're just starting to exercise again or you're out of shape you might want to start with mile 1 or 2 but if you feel that you need a bigger challenge, that is fun and very motivating, mile 4 super challenge is for you. The music helps you keep a fast pace, Leslie's postive attidude keeps you from wanting to quit, and the exercises throughout the program are so simple that anyone with two left feet can do them. I own several of the Walk Away the Pounds videos because I can mix and match the different miles and create my own exercise program. These are wonerful videos and anyone who wants a workout that is challenging but easy to follow should try them in a heartbeat.
Rating: Summary: SUPER CHALLENGE WALK Review: I just purchased this tape and I have to say I absolutely love it. It is one of those tapes that you can either do one mile or up to the entire four. I have several of Leslie's walking tapes and I feel this is a wonderful workout to add to her collection. Very easy workout but when you are done...you definately feel like you accomplished a great workout!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Great for a grandma !! Review: This is a great tape. I can turn down the volume and listen to my favorite "oldies but goodies" while I walk. It is a great work-out and I don't feel stressed because I cant do the moves and I don't get exhausted before its over. I'm 54 and this is perfect for us grannies !!
Rating: Summary: Straight Cardio, No Weights or Belts Here! Review: The "Super Challenge" DVD is a great addition for in-home walkers. If you are a veteran of the Walk Away the Pounds workouts and you're looking for the next level of working out, this is your DVD. Leslie uses steps that are easy to follow, this is not about aerobic dancing. The steps on this DVD are: - Walking (of course!) - Side Steps (single and double) - Knee Lifts - Kicks - Kick backs (leg curls) To add some variety to this workout, Leslie uses double side steps, double knee lifts, and even brings back the fabled 80's Grapevine. The walkers on this DVD are sure to get you motivated. There are women in their 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, and even a man in his 70's. People of all ages and all levels of walking can use this DVD. If you're just getting started, only do the first mile. The thing that I appreciated most about this DVD is that there is no exercise "extras" you need to buy to do it. There is no "stretchie", no weights, no belt, nothing but your own two feet (and sneakers). Not using extras makes this DVD accessible for everyone. The music for this DVD is contemporary techno. There is even one song with a little Latin feel to it. The music continues to build in pace until you reach the third mile where you level off for the fourth mile. The pace at the end of the second mile into the beginning of the third mile gets very, very brisk. Hang in there for a great workout.
Rating: Summary: Wow, what a great one from Leslie!!! Review: If you are a "Walk Away The Pounds" fan, this tape is a "must have" for your collection!! This tape has everything - high energy, low impact, muscle toning, fun music!
Rating: Summary: My New Favorite!!! Review: I have one of Leslie's older tapes. Although I like it, this one beats it hands down! The tape is energizing and upbeat. I don't even look at the counter on my VCR. When I finish, I feel refreshed and like I really accomplished something good for myself. Leslie is trademark-chatty, but much less than in my other video. Also, I find her chattiness in this video motivating, inspirational and down to earth. I truly love this video and Leslie! She is fabulous!
Rating: Summary: Another winner from Leslie Review: OK, so, as a 50 year old man, I don't exactly anticipate seeing myself as a goddess the way the VHS box says :), nevertheless, this is one of Leslie's best. The first two miles, especially the second, are the most strenuous; after that you really find yourself in a comfortable rhythm and the workout whizzes by. Most of the moves are similiar to those found on her other series as are some of your fellow "walkers," but there are also variations in the moves which really add a nice change. The music, after the first few minutes of an annoying vocal "Power walk" drone, is good. Leslie is always enthusiastic; her agenda is good health in all areas of life...and she really does the workout with you throughout, instead of stepping in and out of the moves to pontificate...a real inspiration. I wish she'd do a series which involve even more upper body work than the Abs series for those of us who could use it.
Rating: Summary: Energizing! Review: This work goes by so quickly! I have gone through some health issues and was away from exercise for quite awhile but found this tape to be the perfect introduction/warmup. This workout was very effective yet do-able. If you get this workout, make sure you have some other videos/dvds to alternate with, this workout is alot of repetitive motions and I found that it got to be just way to easy (even with the more difficult adaptations) if I used it more than a day or two a week. Overall, very good and effective tape for people just starting out or trying to lose weight gradually.
Rating: Summary: Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds Express Review: It's even better when strap a couple of five pound weights to your wrists, but all in all great dvd. It's fun and the time goes by super fast. I'm ready for 5 miles if she ever makes one.
