Time graph for Leslie Sansone's Walk & Firm with Intervals

A straight-forward interval program that comes with a resistance band. By alternating short segments of aerobics and toning, your heart rate stays up while you sculpt your upper and lower body. Like a personal trainer, Leslie teaches one-on-one — she’s totally focused on you (“this is nice, just you and me”). The cardio sections feature Leslie’s usual easy-to-follow, walking-style movements. The toning intervals use the band to intensify classic body sculptors like squats, lunges, bicep curls and rows. The DVD also includes a 23-minute, seniors-oriented bonus workout (that was earlier released as Leslie’s “One Mile Walk for Active Adults”). Includes 5-foot band. ©2007.

Leslie Sansone's Walk & Firm with Intervals

THIS dvd is fantastic

I love this DVD. I have another one of hers, plus a very old VHS tape of hers from years ago. She is great and not annoying as someone else commented. I would recommend this - and I'm very much a beginner. But, I really look forward to doing her workout. - posted by Heather on 5/3/2008

Effective and Quick

This is a short workout that includes both walking (this includes "boosted" walking or jogging) and toning w/the band. I keep this in my regular rotation. - posted by Lisa on 4/9/2008

good addition

I did this one for the 1st time. It really works you in the 30 minutes time. Interval training really shakes up your exercise routine. Leslie is chatty, motivating, and puts you through your paces. A good addition to my dvd exercise stable. - posted by vanessa on 1/26/2008

A Nice Change

This is a great video! I have been doing Leslie Sansone videos for a while. It was nice to see her alone and not as perky as usual. The resistance band was a nice touch. - posted by Amy on 1/22/2008

Beginner

I was surprised to see this rated as a beginner to intermediate workout. The walking is "boosted" at times (Leslie speak for jogging) and the toning exercises, though brief, are challenging with the band. This is a great cardio-toning workout when you're short on time. - posted by Diane on 1/20/2008

Nice workout if you're short on time!

I was pleasantly surprised with this video. The aerobic intervals are pretty much at a beginner level until Leslie "boosts the walk". The toning may be a little more intermediate -- I couldn't believe I was getting tired during the lunges! I wished it was a longer workout with an ab portion included, but overall it was a nice addition to my Leslie collection. :-) I'll definitely be doing this workout when I'm short on time. - posted by Lana on 1/4/2008

Another good workout

I really like this one. I've done it twice and it is effective, and enjoyable. I didn't care for the fact that you stop walking through the intervals to do toning. So I walked through all the upper body toning, and used a lot of resistance on the band on the lower body. Today, my quads are sore and my arms feel harder, so I have really no complaints overall. I love getting new videos from Leslie, and this is one I will do alternately with her others. One note, during the walking intervals, she takes it up to a jog. Walking, jogging, and toning. . . I love it. - posted by Jannah on 12/30/2007

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning

Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
