Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds Express - Super Challenge

Summary: The Workout of Workouts!
Review: It's just that---the workout of workouts! Of all the Sansone workouts I have tried, this is her best! I love the fast-paced, energetic music! The walkers are friendly, normal people and the atmosphere is fun and comfortable---and Leslie is at her best, just as motivating and cheerful as ever! It IS an intense workout, about 59 minutes, and is much faster paced than her previous workouts. But, as one reviewer said, you'll never have to count calories again! I HIGHLY recommend this video! And, like the other reviewer, am enjoying it so much that I'm ready for Leslie to produce a five mile super challenge!

Summary: Another good one from Leslie
Review: This is one super tape! It's a long one, but if you're fit enough to complete any of her 3-mile tapes, then you can do this one for sure. She uses no weights, no stretchie bands or belts, it's just straight walking. She does some variations that she hasn't done in any of her other videos with the same basic four steps she always uses, and the time seems to fly. I really feel like I accomplished something at the end of it. However, it doesn't leave you feeling completely winded, or over-exerted, just like you did something really good for yourself and got an excellent workout in for the day. A really nice tape to add to your collection when you have those days when you feel like you need to provide an extra boost to your routine (or after days when you pigged out!). If you like ANY of her other tapes, this is a must-have!!!! It's a winner.

Summary: Leslie does it again!
Review: I rely on Leslie Sansone's workouts to keep me consistent with my fitness regime. This tape is FANTASTIC! I did it yesterday for the first time, thinking I may not be able to complete all 4 miles. But the workout was so fun, fast-paced, and energetic that I couldn't stop myself and before I knew it -- I had finished it!
EFFECTIVE workout, cool music, and lots of FUN. And you feel GREAT after those 4 powerful miles!
I HIGHLY recommend this tape, as well as all other Leslie Sansone tapes!

Summary: wonderful!
Review: As someone who exercises to Leslie Sansone's tapes everyday, especially the 3 mile workout, I was looking forward to this tape coming out. I am very pleased with this workout. It is 4 miles and so longer than the one I'm used to, but the fast pace makes the time fly. I wonder if in the future she would consider a 5 mile tape... Get this tape! It is so easy! The music is motivating and so is Leslie. You will not have to count calories again. :)

Summary: AWESOME workout - my favorite of all WATPs!
Review: This is a pure walking workout; i.e., no "accoutrements" like bands or hand weights. Very similar to the Express 3 Mile in terms of the music, the set and the group of walkers (but the 3 Mile uses the stretch bands). Loved the music--very hip and dancey, like club music, which I love. I have done this workout 2 or 3 times so far and it is fantastic. "Joyful" is the word that came to mind when I was doing it. The miles go by so fast, there was never a point where I was thinking "OH GAWD, when are we getting to the next mile?!" I MUCH prefer this to the older 4-mile WATP I have which has SOOOO much repetition of the same movement that I get exhausted and annoyed at the same time. This one gets a big THUMBS UP from me!

Summary: Must-have Workout!
Review: I've been doing Leslie's WATP's 1,2 & 3 mile walks for over 3 months now. I was looking for something more challenging, yet still fun. I had borrowed an older walking tape of Leslie Sansone from my mom and found I didn't like it at all, but this up-to-date, motivational workout is exactly what I was looking for. Leslie has definitely improved in style and technique over the years, and I look forward to spending my mornings working out to her fun-loving, high-energy yet simplistic routines. You'll love it too!!!!

Summary: Great Workout!
Review: I have used the 1-, 2- and 3-mile workout. I wanted something to kick it up a notch. This workout fits the bill! It is definately challenging. You work up quite a sweat doing this one. The only thing that gets annoying is her constant chattering. Leslie, STOP TALKING!

Summary: This is the one I always come back to!
Review: Though this is a long one, I do it as part of a several work out rotation at least once a week. The mileage graph seems slow at the beginning, but once you get passed the first mile, it seems to move more quickly. It is one good work out!

Summary: WATP 4M Works for Me!
Review: I have been using the Walk Away the Pounds Express, 4 Mile walk for exactly three weeks now. I do the workout every morning Monday through Friday. I'm 26 and my fitness level is such that I can get through the Taebo II Advanced workouts without hyperventilating. However, I was concerned about my knees from all the kicks and squats in Taebo. I also don't like going to the gym, esp. living in frigid-cold Boston. I decided to give the WATP 4M a try.

At first I was concerned that it would be so low impact that it would not really benefit me much. But after the first time I did it, I knew that it was not a walk in the park. I felt so buzzed and energized that day.

Having done it for three weeks, I am now beginning to see my body becoming more toned and tight. I keep looking in the mirror at myself. Also, my muscles have been slightly sore, so I know it is working!

The workout consists of lots of walking in place, some front kicks, side steps, a grapevine, knee lifts, and leg curls. There is also a little upper body work (lifting your hands above your head and such). While doing it my breathing gets a heavy at times, but I can't say that I work up a tremendous sweat (esp. not as much as a Taebo workout). Because it is so easy to do though and doesn't kill me everytime I do it, I have been able to wake up in the morning and do it consistently. Whereas with other videos that were much more strenuous, I would skip days because I just didn't want to go through that pain. In the long-run because it is something I can do consistently, I know I am getting better health benefits.

WATP 4M has helped my mood stay elevated, it has firmed me up, it keeps me from getting tired in the middle of the day, I sleep more restfully at night, I think more clearly, my endurance has strengthened, and it helps my self-image because I know I am doing the best I can to take care of my body. I have noticed a drastic difference in all these things since I started doing it every morning.

I find 10% of what Leslie says during the workout to be annoying. I find the other 90% of what she says to be motivational.

I highly recommend WATP 4M to someone who wants to begin incorporating exercise into their lifestyle. This is definitely that kind of video. While not the most strenuous exercise video out there, it is something you can stick to doing.

Money-wise, I'm not sure why someone would buy the 1 mile, 2 mile, and 3 mile walks. Why not just get the 4 mile walk and work up to as many miles as you want to do? But hey, that's just me.
