Leslie Sansone's Walk & Firm with Intervals |
  No weightloss but good |
| Unless you are more than 50lbs overweight and have never exercised you will never lose weight doing a Leslie Sansone workout. If you are like me and workout 30-60 minutes hard core every day then this will work as your day off workout but not as a primary. Heart rate does not climb much even though you are moving fast. - posted by Camden Smith on 2/27/2010 |

| Really Great Workout! One of her Best! |
| I got this few days ago and tried it for the first time today. I will say that I think this DVD is not beginner!! This has everything from 3 sets of Boosted walking, longer lower body reps, and an overall faster pace; something not featured in any of her beginner DVDs. I also find this workout to be more challenging than many of her Intermediate DVDs like The Big Burn. You get a lot packed into 30 minutes! 2 Sets of "firming" and 3 sets of Cardio Intervals, each lasting 4-5 minutes. You get one exercise for each muscle group, triceps getting two. "Abs" are done with the knee lifts, but I added my own ab work on at the end. I took a cue from another instructor, Cathe, and gripped the band for all lower body work within 2 inches from my ankles. It REALLY challenged me that way and I did the same for back rows. This can be made more difficult by using a heavier band once choking up on it no longer works. For 30 minutes of work, I feel great and ready to move in my day. I am someone who used to enjoy tougher workouts, tougher instructors, and ultra heavy weights. Not anymore. With DVDs like this, I can keep my muscles functionally fit, avoid injuries, and get a great cardiovascular workout as well. I really do believe this is one of her best DVDs and I would purchase it all over again. I'm only regretting that I didn't buy it sooner! - posted by Julia on 11/10/2009 |

| Another GREAT Workout!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| This is the first Leslie workout that I got IT really kicks butt I had to do the easy one mile walk to get into gear. I really like this tape. You really get a good workout. I have been doing this tape and her Big Burn. You get a bigger workout with this tape. I also like the firming exercises, they are great to get more toning in....I also like that she is one on one with you. She pays more attention to you. She is a little less chatty then when she has a group. I LOVE THIS TAPE!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work Leslie!!!!!! Thanks again for helping us stay in shape without killing ourselves......:) - posted by Odile on 9/15/2009 |

| Fun Leslie Workout! |
| I like this workout a lot. You get muscle work with the band and some nice variety in the cardio~a couple of jogging boosts, some grapevines, etc. as well as Leslie's usual steps. I definitely feel like I've gotten a lot accomplished in 30 minutes. - posted by Elaine on 7/25/2009 |

| Great tape-wish it was longer! |
| A great tape but only 1/2 hour long.Did NOT like the bonus 1 mile-very easy with seniors-no hard moves at all..Would never do this mile.."active seniors"..they didn't look so active to me!And i'm in my 50's.Back to the 2 mile Walk 'n Firm miles,it has a brite airy set and good music.It has the usual walk aeobic moves at a good clip but also has 3 sets of lunges and 3 sets of squats with fast walk intervals plus a jog or two interval,and resistance band upper body exercises.I like to pair this 2 miler with the walk away your thighs 2 miles dvd plus lower toning to give a 4 miles with total body toning plus cardio in one shot. - posted by Dulcy on 1/12/2009 |

| Opportunities for Progression |
| This video has toning segment has a total-body emphasis, not just an upper body emphasis as Collage Video posts. With the first workout, I could not complete the lunges AND I feel the after-effects in my lower body and upper body. This workout surprised me; I thought it'd be quite easy with the Firm Band, but it's actually very challenging. I like this workout a lot because it is short enough for me to complete before I leave for work, I can progress in strength by tightening the band, I can build cardio endurance by jogging in the cardio segments, and I can take the DVD and Firm Band on the road with me. As long as Leslie continues to make workouts with total-body strength training intervals, I will continue to buy her DVDs. I am very pleased with this purchase. - posted by FVB on 11/24/2008 |

| Thighs were burning |
| Wow she really does it in this one. My thighs were so sore after this video, I would recommend not doing all of the lunges the first time, mine hurt for 3 days after lol... This is a great video and it's different then the others, will never bore of this one... - posted by Jess on 11/12/2008 |

| Really does the Job!! |
| I'm a big Leslie fan and I found myself getting into a rut. I was so happy with this video. I loved how she changed up the moves and I liked the firming band. You cannot go wrong with this one. Also, as a previous poster stated it's nice to have her by herself. Another good one!!I'm addicted to walk away the pounds... - posted by Pamela on 11/3/2008 |

| Wonderful Workout and Resistance Band is a Plus! |
| I have been using Leslie Sansone videos for a long time and was not disappointed with this one. The pace is fast enough to get a very good workout. Bundling the resistance band with the DVD was a nice touch and saved me from having to buy one separately. I've learned that circuit-training builds and tones muscles and burns more calories than straight aerobics and that muscles burn calories even while we are asleep. Using the band will help tone my muscles and I know that will ultimately mean more calories burned. I'm very pleased! - posted by Bee on 8/29/2008 |
