Summary: A heart-pumping calorie-burner
Review: This is a good, basic, low-impact aerobic program, but doesn't offer much in the way of toning, shaping or stretching. The workout lasts approx. 29 minutes, including a 4-minute warm-up and a 4-minute cool down. Sansone's cues are great, and the footwork is not at all complicated, so it's appropriate for beginners and intermediates. At one point, the beat is pretty fast, and I feel like I'm just flinging my arms around with momentum, rather than really using controlled muscles, but it definitely gets my heart pumping, and that's the intent. She offers next to nothing in the way of toning exercises, and stretching is practically non-existent in both the warm-up and the cool-down, so you'll have to do that on your own. For a more complete, balanced workout, I'd recommend alternating this video with one that offers more firming and toning exercises (e.g. ab work, leg lifts, etc.), but this one is great for those interested solely in a cardio program.

Summary: WOW! I'm So Excited!
Review: Hey! I just bought this video and I have only worked out to it 3 times but so far I absolutley LOVE it! I have over 150 lbs to loose and I really feel like this video is going to be my main source of willpower. Some people say she is kinda annoying but I think she is just very "into" what she does. Let's put it this way, all the other videos I have tried make me feel like a cow and that makes me feel like I just can't do it anymore...but not Leslie's video...she makes me feel great, makes me want to keep going even when I want to quit! To me that is what makes a great workout video. It's not how many fancy moves you make, it's that you keep moving and put your all into it! In a couple of months I will write another review and say how much weight I have lost!

Summary: Deceivingly Effective
Review: I use to run about 6 miles a day, hurt my knee, stopped running and gained weight. So I am now ready to try to lose at least 20 lbs. if not more. I thought this tape would be way too easy. Actually, if you do it every day and work the exercises hard, it is not a piece of cake for the out of shape like me. I think it's a good tape to start or re-start an exercise program.

Summary: It's a good workout!
Review: I saw her latest infomercial for "Walk Away the Pounds" and I thought before I spent the money I would try one of her other tapes for less. I think she's great! I'm in my late 20s and in pretty good shape, with a little weight to lose. This is challenging for someone who isn't very coordinated (ie, Me), but I managed to get the hang of it. I like that she alternates between simple walks and "trickier" steps- keeps me from getting bored, but not from participating.

Summary: Holy Cow!
Review: After doing this video just once the first words out of my mouth were "That's a good..." video!" I just started doing aerobic tapes to lose some weight, so I cannot say what the long term results of using it will be, but I know I will do it again and again, and that it will become one of my favorites...especially since I felt more positive effects after using this tape just once, to a week of using a similar Denise Austin tape.

Summary: HELPED ME LOOSE 54 LBS IN 5 MONTHS
Review: Leslie, Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am 53 years old, 5'2" tall and last September over 100lbs overweight. I joined weight watchers and realized I needed to start an excerise program. I bought your 2 mile walkeraberoics' Video. At first i tried to do the whole video and hated every minute of it. But with your encouragement on the video itself I backed up and did the first mile. I'll never forget the Friday after Thanksgiving I was able to do the whole video I was so proud. Now that video is apart of my everyday routine. I have lost 54.4 lbs so far and actually for the first time in my life enjoy excersing and your video made it possible. I now have the confidence to go on to loose the other 46lbs so I will be fit and healthy going into " Middle Age". I want to be like LU have my body be better today than it was at 20. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Your Daily Video Partner Linda Wright

Summary: GETS ME GOING IN THE MORNING!
Review: I purchased this video the year that it was released. I graduated from her 1 mile video that I'd purchased in 1990. It's simple, effective and fun. For those looking for a good place to start without the jumping, martial arts kicks and painful floor exercises, it's definitely the way to go! Leslie gets a little annoying from time to time, but her routine gets the heart rate up to where it needs to be to get a good early morning workout.

Summary: Great Workout for anyone!
Review: I absolutely love this video. I bought it about a week ago and do it twice a day now, once in the morning and once in the evening. I do this in conjunction with a low carb diet. It is really feel motivated with this video. I have already seen some results too. I had gained back 3 pounds (from eating BAD foods one weekend) and dropped 3.5 in a few days. The exercise really makes the difference no matter what diet you are on. She does tend to get annoying at times, but that is because she is getting tired in the middle, you can just tell. I like having the meter pop up and tell you how far you have gone too. It helps to keep me going. It's a great video for all. I started with only doing the feet part then finally started using my arms after about 4 days. I am uncoordinated when it comes to arms and legs. But, this actually starts to feel like a dance after you do it about 10 times. I would recommend it to anyone it works well. Better than any treadmill than I have ever been on because it makes you use your thighs and arms.

Summary: You'll use this one a lot!
Review: I've had this tape for just a few days, and it's excellent. Some of the reviews here say it's for beginners, but I don't necessarily agree. I complete 3-mile walks outdoors in 45 minutes (that's about 4 mph) and yet this workout raised my heart rate like my outdoor walks have never done. In the sense that the moves are simple, it could be considered a beginner's tape. But, if you're looking for a nice energy boost without having to follow complex moves, this is the perfect tape. It's brief enough that you won't be tempted to blow it off because of time issues, and the simplicity of the moves are a pleasure if you exercise first thing in the morning. (Personally, I can't face complex moves or weight routines when I first get out of bed.) Leslie Sansone has a nice presence and I think I'll be using this one a lot.
