Summary: Super motivator!
Review: This tape is not enough on its own but it is a wonderful supplement to other regular exercise such as weight training. Leslie Sansone radiates positive energy and while it might seem silly -- it works!I do the 4 mile walk after work and the stress just melts away.

Summary: She's Made a Believer Out of Me!!!!!
Review: I thought I would buy this video because I had gotten away from my semi-regular exercise routine and also because after my surgery, I was not able to do any strenous exercise. Well, I can't tell you how happy I am that I bought this video. I love it! Very easy to follow and I love the music and Leslie's energy! My first time doing the video, I walked the whole 4 miles! I didn't expect to, but I was loving it so much, and each time that mile meter came up, I was more motivated! A definite must have for those who hate a lot of dancing and complicated moves. Besides, WALKING is the best exercise that the body could ever get!

Summary: It WORKS for me!
Review: I have been working out to this video, daily, for nearly ten months. I have lost 70 lbs. and 50 inches; my knee joints were painful when climbing stairs, and the pain completely disappeared within about two weeks of working out; and my blood pressure, which was elevated, came down to normal also within a couple of weeks of using the video. Leslie is talkative throughout the video, which I perceive as encouragement. It is also encouraging that Leslie's group of work-out partners are different ages, and all have different body types and exercise styles. If you want, you can focus in on the person who best suits your own style. I appreciate that Leslie is a professional, who emphasizes diversity of movement throughout the video. The program also focuses on all muscle groups. The video is not just a cardio work-out, but works the abs, gluteal muscles, triceps/biceps, etc. Prior to using this video I walked three miles a day on a treadmill, and after a year, lost only 16 lbs.; my blood pressure remained the same, slightly elevated; and I still had joint pain in my knees. I credit much of my success with this video to the program's diversity of movement; the fact that it's one hour in length (the recommended fitness walking time for losing weight), is slightly challenging, but not exhausting; and Leslie's up-beat and well-rounded approach. To adapt to my advancing fitness level, I have increased the intensity of the moves in the program, and added ankle weights. I believe I'll use this video daily, all my life. I can't say enough in this space about how effective and positive I believe this video can be for folks wanting to get fit and/or lose weight. I have given the video as gifts to several friends and family members who also have used it regularly and successfully.

Summary: Yeah for Leslie!!
Review: I am a former couch potato that had not exercised in 10 years, I made a commitment for this to be the year that my family and I finally get in better shape. My friend Tiffany gave me a copy of the 3 mile WATP tape I started out doing it once a day and really liked how positive Leslie is and the convience of doing the workouts on my own time at home. In a couple of weeks I noticed the pounds started to come off. I was very excited when I saw the 4 mile DVD advertised and could not wait to get it. The tape is very upbeat and fast paced. You will certainly work up a sweat!! I have been working out for almost 3 months and have lost *40 pounds* durning that time. If you are willing to make the commitment to GET MOVING you will feel better, sleep better, and feel healthier than ever...even if you don't always eat the "right" things!!!

Summary: Annoying, Inconvenient, with Mediocre Exercise
Review: I've done other Walk Away the Pounds DVDs, and I've enjoyed them - they're perfect for the days when you don't feel like doing anything, or you know you can't concentrate, but you still need to get some cardio in. Even though every DVD in the series has faults, overall, they're fairly good. But this one - this one has so many problems it's almost unusable. This DVD is really inconvenient. There aren't any chapter titles, so you can't skip around; if you want to go straight to mile 2 or 3 (and the faster pace) after the warmup, you can't, and you also can't easily repeat a given chapter. And I don't know why she advises you to quit if you're tired, since you can't go straight to the cool down. So there's no point to buying the DVD - it's exactly like having this on VHS. And if being hard to use wasn't enough, this one's also annoying. Other reviewers have mentioned the music, and yes, it truly is that awful. For the first 15 minutes, the "music" consists of a synthesizer beat and angry, shouting people. And they're shouting about walking, too, so you feel like you're exercising in a brainwashing session. The religious comments don't help with the whole brainwashing feeling, either; being instructed to lift my arms up to heaven and shout hallelujah does not inspire me to exercise *or* pray. Also, the exercise isn't vigorous enough to qualify as a "super challenge"; it's not a lot different than the 2 mile DVD, say, just longer. My heart rate didn't elevate enough until I got to the highest-paced part of the program. So if the other WAtP programs are too easy for you, know that this one will be, too. (And I am not some gymbot, either; I'm fat, out of shape, and clumsy, so if this is too easy for me, it's too easy for almost everyone.) If you're totally new to exercise, or you need very gentle programs, get Sansone's 1 or 2 mile DVD; you can always repeat the program when you need to add time, and it will be much easier than trying to fast-forward and rewind your way through this one. If you've been exercising for a while or you're at all fit, get Crunch Cardio Salsa or some other cardio DVD. In any case, don't bother with this one.

Summary: EXCELLENT for any fitness level!
Review: I am SO glad i bought these videos!!! they have changed my life! These videos are great if you have 100lbs to lose, or just 5 lbs, or just want to be healthy PERIOD! When i started these tapes, i was 135 lbs, size 8-10. i had been dieting, but i had hit a plateau. I've been faithfully doing this dvd for 3 weeks now and have already dropped another 8 lbs and am fitting into a 4 again! i am estatic!
i've always had a hard time getting motivated to work out, but i love these tapes! Leslie is very perky and motivating and the moves are easy enough for anyone to do.
THANK YOU LESLIE for making these dvds!! i will continue 'walking' with you for a long time to come!!!

Summary: Keep 'em coming Leslie!
Review: I just have to ask myself what planet I've been living on all these years Leslie has been cranking out her walk aerobic workouts because I never knew such a great fitness program existed - until this year. In January, I purchased several of Leslie's "Walk Away The Pounds" DVDs in an effort to do something about the extra weight I'd been complacent about losing. I didn't want to fail with programs that were too intense or demanding and walk aerobics sounded like someting I could do. Smartest choice I could have made. I think what is so satisfying about WATP is that it really is doable for anyone at any fitness level. Leslie encourages you all along the way and provides modifications to all the movements for those who don't have full range of motion or whose muscles may not be up to strenuous activity. Because the motions and steps are easy to perform, bystanders may get the impression that these programs can't possibly deliver a good cardio workout - but nothing could be further than the truth! The cumulative affect of all those knee lifts, kicks and side steps not only gets your heart pumping but within only a few weeks you will see visible slimming and toning of your body. I've only been doing the workouts since the middle of January, and already I am very encouraged with the results. All of Leslie's workouts are fun, challenging and addictive. I am currently doing this WATP Express 4-mile workout followed by the WATP 3-mile with weights on a daily basis - and I'm just a beginner! If you can move, you can enjoy these workout and reap the benefits of a healthier happier life and a cute new shape. PS: Leslie, I may not know you in person, but you are my new best friend! Thanks for changing my life!

Summary: Good Addition to Library
Review: If you are a Walk Away the Pounds fan who uses primarily 2 and 3 mile tapes, this is a good addition to your video library. It is my favorite of the Express Series tapes. The fourth mile introduces some new variations to the movements, so of which I wish were on other tapes.

Summary: Great Workout!
Review: I use this tape on an alternating basis with the 3 mile tape. The 4 mile makes me break a sweat and feel like I have had a good workout. Easy to follow , fun steps. Love the variety added to the kick backs.
