Rating: Summary: Good workout but..... Review: This version of Walk Away the Pounds is pretty much what you would expect if you have used any of the other dvd's in the series. Lots of walking, kicks, knee lifts, etc. This time you make use of the weights(or "stretchie") much more then in the previous ones, which can be good or bad I guess depending on what you are looking for. However, there is one thing I need to say about Express. This video contains what may be the worst soundtrack ever produced! Words can not describe how awful the music is. Instead of the usual cookie cutter pseudo techno score you have come to expect from workout videos, it seems they have decided that it would be better to have something resembling hip hop, with a man shouting the same few lines over and over again. FEELS GOOD.....POWERWALK! WORKS GREAT....POWERWALK! This is what you will hear, on a continuous loop, for the duration of the 30 minute workout. My god, it feels like you are being reprogrammed. Why are they convincing me how great it is, I already bought the thing :). The first time I watched it, at around the 15 minute mark, I suddenly couldn't stand it anymore and in a frenzy found the remote and hit mute. Overall, the video is a good workout, and if you liked the others then you will probably like this one as well. Just be prepared to watch it in silence, or to have your own music handy :).
Rating: Summary: Enjoyable Review: This video is similar to her others, with new people behind her and new music. The other reviewer is not totally correct in regards to the "annoying" music - that particular soundtrack is only for the first 5-7 minutes of the entire 30 minute video. My only "wish" for this one is that she did more toning for even more areas. This is not to say that the toning is lacking, really... there are lots of different moves that target different muscle groups, with brisk walking in between. I guess I just sort of wanted even more (maybe a little longer than 30 minutes?). Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with this title. :)

Rating: Summary: Nice and different from Leslie Review: Yes, you still walk and do the basic four steps, but you have intervals of strength training with the stretchie band. Hand weights work just as well if you don't have a band. Let me tell you, your muscles will be humming when you're done with this one! My kind of strength training! Thanks, Leslie!
