Rating: Summary: GREAT WALK OFF WEIGHT VIDEO Review: I have Rhuemtoid Arthritis (I was diagnosed at 12...I am 40 now). For the last 8 to 10 years it has been very difficult to find an excercise program that I can consistently stick with. (And make progress). I started June the 17th of this year. By July 17th I had lost ten pounds. I was so excited and shocked. I have been following religiously a low fat diet, too. (And nothing after 6 pm). Thanks to Leslie Sansone's Walk off weight system I am for the first time in years taking off the weight. I have 60 to go!
Rating: Summary: Great for beginners! Review: I just recently started exercising again so this tape is great for the out of shapers like me. I would rather walk outside but when it gets over 100 degrees this tape comes in handy. I can see where it would get a little boring for some people. I agree with some of the other reviewers. It does get a little cheesy in places but I do recommend the tape.
Rating: Summary: good workout, great vibes from Leslie Review: I really like this DVD. I think the workout is too easy as it is, so I kicked high, squatted low, and carried five pound weights throughout--but this just shows how wonderfully adaptable the workout is for all needs,levels,abilities. It is a great way to work up a sweat without both feet leaving the ground at once (hard on the joints). The production quality is excellent, and the class members' collective attitude is really wonderful, upbeat, and genuine. I think I got my money's worth on this one.
Rating: Summary: Another success! Review: I have all of Leslie's tapes and she seems to get better with each one! I highly recommend each and every tape she has ever made!! No if, ands, or buts; she is the best!! They are not hard at all; anyone can do it; she is adorable herself and has great people on her tapes. And before you know it, you are finished! So don't just stand there -- get all her tapes, you won't be sorry!
Rating: Summary: Klutz Here!! Review: If I can manage to keep up with this tape, than anyone can! Yes, the chat from Leslie and company can get pretty sappy, but the workout is VERY do-able and the time flies by. I'm about 35 pounds overweight and am age 40, so I do break a little bit of a sweat, but the workout itself is painless and kind of fun. Not only does the walking help build leg strength, but the upper body moves are also helping me to tone up my arms and back. I have some other videos, but this one is my favorite and the one I least dread. I like the fact that the walkers in the background are all shapes and ages and they even have one walker that does an "easier" version of the moves. No fancy dance steps or complicated routine here - just straight forward exercise. On the video they use "walk-away-the-lbs." weights, but I use 3 lb. hand weights and they work just fine. Couple this with an ab workout and this should be all you need to stay toned and healthy.
Rating: Summary: Very boring workout. Review: I can't understand the rave reviews of the other people. I guess if you've never exercised before or do not live a very active lifestyle this tape would be okay. I was given this tape and didn't even break a sweat into the third mile, not to mention I was bored out of my mind. What's with the "walk, walk, walk, walk" talk! On the positive side this tape is a good start if you have not exercised in a very long time or if you are having a "lazy" day. Otherwise, go for something that can get your heart rate up. P.S. You are not really walking, you are doing low impact aerobic moves.
Rating: Summary: FANTASTIC Review: I have been using Leslie's 3 mile tape for just about a month now....And all I can say is ladies try it!!! This is the best workout video I have ever used. Leslie's 1 mile and 2 mile tapes are just as great too. You will see results very quickly with this program. I know I did!!!
Rating: Summary: Nice for a change from regular aerobics tapes Review: I added this tape to my library of 35+ exercise tapes because I absolutely crave variety. If I use the same tapes too often I get bored and find myself making (and using!) excuses not to exercise. This one fits nicely into the "plain aerobic workout" category, so it can be alternated with the FIRM-type workouts or plain weights workouts. Segment 1 covers one "mile" at a fairly easy pace with a little arm movement. Segment 2 is a slightly brisker 1.5 "miles", again with a little arm movement. Segment 3 again covers 1.5 "miles", but the instructor includes more extensive arm movements. If you're a dedicated exerciser, you may find the intensity a little low -- I have to use hand weights and lots of arm movements to keep my heart rate up, or jog in place instead of walking. I also find the instructor a little annoying at times, and the tape doesn't really get me excited about exercising. This is an ideal beginners' tape, though, since there is virtually no choreography. All in all, a decent tape, but advanced exercisers may want to consider something more interesting like "Donna-mite" or "Latin Rhythms" for their plain aerobics days.
Rating: Summary: walk away the pounds super fat burning 1-2-3- mile tapes Review: Myself and my dear friends that are members of the Hicks Weight Mangement team are hooked on the tapes. These tapes are becoming a ritual for us. There are so good. Almost all of us have a set at home as well as we have one at the gym that we use as a courtesy of Dr. Hicks. The tapes take you from not liking to walk to appreciating walking. If it matters to anyone who is beginning these tapes are great, its the best investment you can make for taking care of you!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Great Walking Video Review: This video is great. I consider myself a intermediate exerciser, However it took me a while before I could complete the (3) miles. It is easy to follow and challenging, I do not mind her talking. I wanted to get this tape to use when I can't get outdoors or do not feel like getting dressed to go to the gym. I am very pleased. She even has a segment with weights, if you prefer you do not have to use weights. No floor work...I hate floor work, so this tape is awesome for me!!
