Rating: Summary: Fantastic for the uncoordinated! Review: I'm one of those people who cannot do aerobics since you have to be coordinated! This is a great video! There are only four steps to learn and it's fun and easy. Leslie is a down to earth instructor and makes you want to get up and exercise daily! This is a great buy! I've lost ten pounds using her programs!
Rating: Summary: This is wondeful Review: I think the Walk Away the Pounds videos are great! I have only been doing them for 2 weeks, but I feel great. It makes you feel better about yourself when you are up and doing some exercise, but with a 3 year old and a 5 month old it is hard to find time. With these tapes it only takes 30 minutes of your day, and you can do it while the baby is napping! I think Leslie is great, she is so energetic and she really has a positive attitude. I don't mind the chatter aT all! I Walk Away the Pounds 6 days a week and take Sundays off. 3 times a week I do Winsor Pilattes just for an extra kick. It relly feels good to walk and then do all the stretching pilattes involves. The walking was a great addition to the pilattes, great cardio! I reccomend these tapes to anyone!!! THANKS LESLIE!!!
Rating: Summary: Almost perfect and lots of fun! Review: They say to avoid most "converts" because of their annoying and over zealous turn-abouts of behavior. Leslie Sansone's walk aerobic programs may just make you the exception to that rule! Her Walk Away The Pounds workouts are energetic, inspiring, effective and just plain addictive! For anyone who has lived a sedentary life (like me) or just got complacent about those extra pounds that refused to let go - these workouts will transform you body and soul. Not to mention you'll have a blast all along the way.I'm new to WATP, but it didn't take long to become a full-fledged Sansone groupie. In only 6 weeks I have gone from disgusted with my condition to truly energized, motivated and committed to getting fit. Leslie did that for me and she can do it for you. Forget about sabotaging your success by choosing workouts that will sooner give you cardiac arrest than a good healthy workout. Instead, "walk away the pounds" to a leaner, stronger and more self-confident you. All it takes is faith, a pair of walking shoes and a few weeks. Prepare for changes in your endurance and stamina that you never believed possible - AND - in no time at all you will see physical results that will make you jump on the band wagon just like I did. A few suggestions though... 1) Make a commitment to exercise every day for at least six weeks (how much doesn't matter) and hide your scale! Your enthusiasm may get deflated if you don't see rapid weight loss and that is a land mine to avoid. In the first few weeks your body will try to figure out what the new demands of exercise mean. More than likely, you will feel roomier in your clothes long before your scale responds. Do not despair! Weight loss IS happening. 2) Don't undo exercise progress by eating like an orangutan. Either choose a sensible diet plan to accompany your workouts, or commit to making better food choices. It will pay off and you will be amazed how much faster you will see positive results. 3) Don't feel obligated to purchase the Walk Away Weighted Balls if you already have light dumbells. I have both and prefer the dumbells - they are easier for me to hold and don't get slippery in my hands when I sweat. Also, I can increase and decrease the weight depending on how strong I feel on any particular day. 4) Enjoy the adventure! If your brain clicks the way it should, exercising will become something you look forward to doing every day. You will adapt it into your daily routine and it will be the catalyst for a lifestyle change you won't want to live without. Work at a manageable pace and focus on your goals. If you ever feel like you're losing motivation - give yourself a day or two off and reconsider the quality of your life without fitness. The "pain" is inconsequential to the gain. Trust me. Finally - I am the last person on earth who should be spouting on and on about exercise since I spent most of my life relaxing on my "backside." If I can break the cycle of gaining weight and being lazy - anyone can. I have already shed 22 pounds since January 9th and though I have 50 more to go, I'll be in a bikini by July. Call me a convert, I don't care... I'm proud!' On a technical note: This program requires a little extra concentration since the vocal cues seem a little spontaneous at times and there is one miscue that confuses knee lifts with kick-backs. No big deal, but compared to the WATP Express 4-Mile Super Challenge, this isn't quite as smooth. Have fun!
Rating: Summary: This DVD is tops!!! Review: I love this DVD I got it January 18th (today February 23) and I have lost 16 lbs!!! I love this workout. As others have said it doesnt leave you tired or exhausted. Instead, it leaves you ready to take on the rest of your day. My daughter likes doing the exercise with me, she is soon to be 6 years old.. So that tells you how easy the routine is to follow. I enjoy the music and it is wonderful to be cheered on. I also like the chatting that goes on during the video. I really like they have all women of different sizes they aren't all dress size 2. Nice to know they aren't robots, just smiling through the workouts. I also like the meter that appears at the bottom of the screen it keeps you motivated. I have bought few other of the workout DVD's and really appreciate she has a variety of them to give variety to my workouts. Can't wait to receive the 4 mile super challenge in the mail.
Rating: Summary: Great Exercise video Review: I have been working out consistently 6 mornings a week since the beginning of the year 2004 using this tape. I didn't have much to lose, but I've lost about 5 or 6 lbs, and can feel that my legs are firming up. This is a great video, the time goes by very fast. I do turn off the sound, It was fine the first week to listen to it, but after doing it week after week, I knew what she was going to say before she said it, and she is very easy to follow without the sound. I use 2 lb Walmart weights. Oh, and the cover is somewhat deceiving. They are wearing orange, and you can tell this was one of her earlier tapes, but it's still great! I highly recommend it!
Rating: Summary: Great if you turn off the sound Review: She talks so much that she forgets what she is going to say. But the workout is great- low impact and uncomplicated. The weights make it more intense. I turn down the sound and play Beatles music. She cues very well so it's easy to follow without listening to her. I use this tape a couple of times/week and get a good workout.
Rating: Summary: My Favorite Leslie Sansone Workout Review: Leslie is the "Queen of In-Home Walking." This is different than walking on a treadmill, but seems equally effective. You can also walk any day of the year, rain or shine, day or night. There are no limits. Leslie travels all over the world promoting fitness and holds six certificates from the American College of Sports Medicine. She also owns Club Fitness and makes appearances on the QVC Home Shopping Channel. After trying a few of Leslie Sansone's workouts, this is now my favorite workout. This Super Fat Burning - 3 Mile workout took me to new places in my fitness level. I really saw some good results in the stomach area. I had to keep looking in the mirror to make sure it was true. This workout firms the upper and lower body, improves coordination and balance and boosts cardio strength. (47 minutes) Since I'm not the queen of coordination, the Leslie Sansone workouts allow me to exercise without worrying about fancy footwork. If you can stand in one place and move forward, back and put your arms up and down, you can do this! Therefore, this is really for anyone! The use of weights really takes this video to a new level. This workout really does tighten and tone you all over. I highly recommend this workout or the three workout set with weights. This workout is for anyone starting a new workout program or for anyone who just wants to have a little fun with their workouts. You just become one of the group and Leslie creates a very friendly, accepting environment. I really started to look forward to working out in such a positive environment and enjoy being in the presence of some positive energy, plus it gave me an added boost of "I can do this." The music also just keeps you moving! If you have a 5' x 7' space anywhere near a TV, these are perfect. You don't need a lot of room like many aerobic videos require. Leslie's workouts that add a smiley burst of energy to your day. If you are on your couch, you better be looking out for Leslie Sansone cause she is going to "come over and get you" off that couch! At least that is what she says. ;) I sent my aunt the 1-mile workout and she now says that she does the workout with my little second cousin who is now living at her house. So apparently even kids love Leslie's workouts. ;) ~TheRebeccaReview.com
Rating: Summary: Great video Review: I love her tapes. I have tried many video's and I can never follow the steps. This is easy to follow and fun. I have lost 25 pounds and my weight is now where is should be. I still continue to do the tape 4-5 times a week because I enjoy it so much. I would like to see them make a new belt. My belt only seems to last about 3 months and it breaks. Thank god they are good about replacing it.
Rating: Summary: "I Can't Believe I'm Enjoying Working Out" Review: I've had Leslie's 1,2,&3 mile DVDs since March. I started with the 1M and kept doing it, occasionally I was able to do the 2M. Then I graduated to the 2M and did that constantly and now I'm doing the 3M some of the time. I actually look forward to working out and miss it when I don't. I can't believe I said that. It's easy and easy on my knees too. I enjoy the mile markers she uses for motivation. Everyone on the DVD looks happy. I enjoy the health tips she gives for motivation. She encourages you throughout the workout and gives you alternatives if you can't do a certain step. I am in love with this workout series and I can't wait to go home and do the 2 or 3 mile workout tonight. I've kept my weight steady during the holidays by working out almost everyday in December. I'm thrilled with my enthusiasm and Leslie's too.
Rating: Summary: Amazing Workout! Review: Just got this video and it is really great. This and other leslie sansone videos are wonderful alternatives for people who may not have the coordination to learn steps, but who have the stamina to keep moving! With just a few simple moves and the optional addition of 2 pound weights you get a great workout! Although she keeps it simple throughout the video, when you are done you really feel that after workout feel, even without the weights. The every half mile updating of how far in to the walk you are is another really nice touch.
