Summary: The best
Review: I recently hurt my back doing another work-out and I couldn't do any other aerobics but I was able to do Walk Away the Pounds. It was gentle on my back and yet I received an awesome work-out. It's so easy to follow and you don't need space to do it! You have the option to use weights or not to use them. With or without it's still going to make you feel great!

Summary: Fun, easy & effective.
Review: I have used all 3 of the Walk Away the Pounds videos. Its great to be able to choose between a 15, 30 or 45 minute workout, depending on how much time and energy you have. I love using the walk away weights, as well. I have lost weight, and trimmed inches, as well as toned my arms with these videos. They are much easier to follow than most aerobic videos, too.

Summary: Excellent cardio workout!
Review: Wow! Just tried this video and know that it will be a great addition to my cardio workouts! I usually walk outdoors to get my cardio/fatburning in, but since I've found this I'll not have the excuse of inclement weather or darkness to deter me. This not only gets your heart rate up, but it also adds some light hand weights about midway to do some upper body toning as well as giving you some added resistance for some of the leg moves. Before popping this in, I thought that it might be quite boring, just giving me no excuses to skip my walks in the winter, rain, or after dark. But, this was great! I will definately add it to my rotation of workout videos and highly recommend it for any fitness level. It's a 45 min. walk, which is 3 miles, considering that you walk a 15 min. mile. You will definately get the 3 miles in, as there is a definite beat that you stay with, which keeps you on track. There are lots of added moves, none of which are complicated or confusing. These give you some added toning in both the lower and upper body as well. Beginners could do this video by taking it down a notch or simply walking, and/or leaving out the added weights when they were feeling too winded. Advanced exercisers could get a good cardio workout by keeping up with her, utilizing all upper and lower body moves. It's definately not boring! She's got a great personality without being too perky or talking down to you as if you were a child. You feel like you're part of the class. I've always known that power walking is excellent for getting your cardio in, but this takes it up a notch, and you really feel like you're getting more done than just the cardio/fat burning. No wonder she's been so successful and has lots of videos to choose from.

Summary: Does Leslie Sansone ever "stop" talking?
Review: I gave this two stars because I believe this would be a great workout for senior citizens who have never exercised, or who have been away from exercising for many, many years. Never in my exercise video experience, have I heard anyone talk so much ... I thought I was going to lose my mind! I was just hoping to get an easier video to do very early in the morning one day a week. There is not one scrap of creativity in this workout, and I can't believe she has millions of these on the market! In all fairness to Leslie Sansone fans, I'm sorry to be so negative, but buyer beware: You might want to mute the sound on this video AT ALL TIMES, and use your own music. I don't believe this video would be "appreciated" with exercise video users who like Kathy Smith, Karen Voight, and the Firm. This video would NOT be for you.

Review: I gave this two stars because I believe this would be a great workout for senior citizens just getting back into exercising. Never in my exercise video experience, have I heard anyone talk so much ... I thought I was going to lose my mind! There is not one scrap of creativity in this workout, and I can't believe she has millions of these on the market! In all fairness to Leslie Sansone fans, I'm sorry to be so negative, but buyer beware: You might want to mute the sound on this video at all times, and use your own music. I don't believe this video would be "appreciated" with veteran exercise video users who like the Firm, Kathy Smith, Jane Fonda, Tami Lee Webb, and Karen Voight ... this video would NOT be for you.

Summary: Sweatin' to the Newbies!
Review: Whew! I never thought walking would be so intense (okay, excluding the whole power walking thing). This DVD gives you a great workout without tiring you out like most exercise videos do. It has a great pace to it and takes into account all levels. It definitely isn't hard to keep up with. Well, worth the money.

Summary: Great Low-Impact Workout
Review: The moves are extremely easy to follow, there is virtually no choreography. For an intermediate exerciser like myself, I found this 3 mile tape to be a little easy (I have to use hand weights to keep my heart rate up), but at 45 minutes it is a solid workout for anyone at any fitness level. You don't actually "walk" the whole time, but it is all low impact aerobic moves - no jumping or anything to bother your knees. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars, is because the chatter can get a little annoying, although Leslie seems genuine. All in all, a decent tape but advanced exercisers may find the intensity a little low.

Summary: Excellent Workout, but......
Review: I really enjoyed this simple, but exciting and energetic workout. It felt really great to get to the 3 mile mark, and I didn't even realize the time passing. However, I would've liked a bit more stretching at the end. My muscles were very warm and pliable and the few minutes of stretching really didn't satisfy me. If I had more time (I've got 1 hour budgeted into my schedule every day) perhaps a nice yoga workout afterward would be nice. Being the busy girl that I am, a 1.5 to 2 hour workout just is a bit much. Anyways, if you don't mind only a bit of stretching, this is the workout for you. For me however, I might go with the 2 mile (35 minutes) workout paired with a shorter yoga or pilates dvd afterward.
