Summary: Easy and Effective
Review: This is my favorite excercise video. I've been using the VHS tape version for years, and now I have it on DVD! Naturally, the DVD version is much more convenient to use as I can go directly to the portion I need without fast forwarding or rewinding the tape when I'm done.

For a klutz like me, Leslie Sansone has been a God send. Even when I've been at my heaviest, this video was possible to do. And yet even though it is easy with no complicated dance steps, it certainly works! No matter what my level of fitness is, this video gets my heart pumping!

Leslie is upbeat, positive, and encouraging. When she smiles directly at the camera and says "Good!" I feel she is talking to me! The exercisers who join her on the video are regular people, not all of whom are at the peak of perfection, which makes me feel right at home. Finally, the exercises take very little room, so I can do the video in a spare bedroom or in the living room.

I've never gotten tired of this video, but just to expand my exercise horizons, I've also ordered several more Leslie Sansone DVDs.

Summary: Thank God for Leslie!
Review: I have most of the tapes in this Walk Away the Pounds series. Using these tapes along with Weight Watchers allowed me to take off well over 30 pounds, plus reshape my body. Her technique is easy, but challenging. It makes you want to do more and you don't feel tired or discouraged. This is definitely something that is easy to stick with. Very highly recommended. Once you start one of her tapes, you can't help but furnish your collection. It really works!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good for beginner exercisers
Review: It may be a bit dated, but this is a fine 30-minute walking workout for beginners or those who want a simple, somewhat mindless routine. There's a decent warm-up and cool-down, and though Leslie seems a bit 'off the cuff' with her comments, it's a good basic program - especially when the weather doesn't permit outdoor exercise.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Easy to do, low impact, great for a rainy day!
Review: I generally don't relish "walking exercise" programs for your home. What it turns out to be is a simple mid-level intensity workout aimed to lose weight. Leslie Sansone has been a champion instructor and advocate for walking as a critical form of exercise, and she offers a variation of workout videos on walking. But here, walk in the comfort of your own home.
The 1996 approximately 35 minute tape has a warmup of about 4 minutes. The 2-mile walk is total of 25 minutes 2 miles at 4 mph. After the 25 minutes, a slow down with stretch. The meter displayed that pops up periodically to give you an idea how many minutes and how far in proximity to mileage you have accomplished per hour.
As you participate, you can watch a meter that displays time, distance, and miles per hour. The "walk" consists of exercise marching steps, grapevine, kickback, walk and tap. This isn't vigorous at all, what is pleasing is that there aren't any complicated steps, and Leslie isn't constantly incorporating changes to confuse us.

The video is unpretentious, average looking people in normal workout attire. Music is paced to the workout, but nothing compares like selecting your own. If you prefer to lose weight, get outdoors, do fast aerobic walking, pick some motivating rhythmic music on for the walkman, and move!!! But if the cold keeps you in, this is a great alternative......MzRizz.

Summary: nothing dancy, but it does get you going!
Review: I wanted a low-impact aerobic video I could use to start my day. Since my husband leaves too early for me to go walking without leaving my daughter home alone, I thought this video might make a nice alternative. It really does! It moves quickly, with little need for instruction because the movements are all very basic, but it gets the heart rate going pretty well. Leslie gets a tiny bit annoying, but anybody who is perky at 5:30 AM can get annoying. She does not concentrate enough on form - about 20 minutes into the tape she tells you to "blow out", where other exercise videos really remind you how important it is to keep breathing.

I've added 2lb handweights, and plan to increase to 3lb, just for some added resistance and to intensify the workout. I still use my Crunch sculpting tape every other day as well, so I'm glad this is not terribly high impact. A good choice!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quick, Easy, and Painless
Review: This is one of the BEST exercise videos I've used. It's easy on the joints but works out the whole body with a friendly group. Leslie is motivating but not loud; just offers easy encouragement. The 30 minutes goes by quickly!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Exercise Video
Review: Best way to loose weight and stay in shape. Very easy to follow, and no exercise equipment really needed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Workout & Great For Your Back
Review: After a long day at work, my body often feels stiff, and my back hurts. I pop in this video, and in 30 minutes, not only have I done a good aerobic workout, but all of my muscles have loosened up. The arm choreography lightly works all the back muscles by the end of the tape. Of all the exercise videos I use, this one leaves me feeling the best when I'm through.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great work out. Easy to follow.
Review: This is the first fitness video I ever bought. Figured I'd try it. It really is easy to get into and Leslie Sansone keeps you motivated throughout. I am losing weight thanks to this and a sensible diet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the one!!
Review: This is one of four of Leslie's videos I have recently purchased. For the amount of time spent, (30 minutes), it seems to give me the best workout. Leslie's Miracle Mile (15 minutes) is the best for beginners, but you will quickly be able to move on. I also have the three mile Walk Away the Pounds Super Fat Burning tape. It takes about 47 minutes, uses weights for part of it and really makes you sweat as well. None of the tapes are very difficult. Really good! Would highly recommend, except the Two Mile Fat Burner is more of a strength training video. Just as you get up to a good pace, she stops you and has you do squats and arm curls, then another minute later - back to the fast pace. It's not a bad tape - but if you're looking for walking, I wouldn't purchase that one.
