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

Not that great!
I thought this would be better because of the reviews but I found that her toning interval with the band were too slow, it takes her forever to go to the next move. I am not crazy about this one. Will probably return it. - posted by Nancy on 8/25/2010
Great Workout!
I am very pleased with the video, very easy to follow and great for all over fitness. I am 49 years old, just recovering from Breast Cancer and radiation treatments. This allows me to begin exercising again without over doing it. ****1/2 - posted by Connie on 7/8/2010
FABULOUS.............
and I completely disagree with a statement made that unless you are more then 50 pounds overweight or a beginner exerciser, that you will not lose weight using Leslie's workouts. That is simply NOT true, you can and will lose weight using Leslie's workouts no matter what you currently weigh (as long as your eating is in check and portion controlled). Consistency is the key and this one really adds variety to her other walks. The resistance band intervals are fun and effective, I felt it in my arms and legs, there are definitely enough reps of toning exercises to make a difference. I have been using Leslie's workouts since 2003 and, although I have used workouts by other instructors, Leslie is my favorite:) This walk-tone-walk-tone interval workout is fabulous!! - posted by Judy on 7/4/2010
Good interval training..
When I watched the preview clip of this one, I thought I couldn't get much benefit from using a Resistance band. WRONG! I can definitely feel this in my arms and legs. I agree with the previous reviewer about the lunges..the band helps with balance. Yes, you can lose weight using Leslie's DVD's. Advanced exercisers may not be challenged, but Begin/Inter will be. These are perfect for people who no longer want to (or can't) do high-impact, bone jarring, back straining hard core cardio. Try it! - posted by Melanie on 6/27/2010
Great Workout!
This is an interval workout of fast walking combined with toning moves using a firming band (included). This is a one-on-one workout with just Leslie and the viewer, unlike her other workout DVD's that feature a class-like setting of people performing the workout. The leg work of lunges and squats with the firming band really challenges the leg muscles. I have never been able to successfully perform lunges until using this DVD...the firming band helps to anchor and support while lunging. Also, Leslie starts out with small, slower moves and progresses to faster moves, letting you gradually adjust to the movement. The firming intervals introduced within the walking segments alleviates boredom. A good, solid 30 minute workout. One of my favorites of all her workouts. - posted by Christine on 6/25/2010
Good Workout
This is my second time doing this one. I have a rotation of tapes I do on a regular basis. I'm 62 and exercise frequently. After the first time my arms were sore which really surprised me, I didn't think it was that tough when I was doing it. I wish it was longer, I did the bonus walk today to add some time and noticed the bonus section did not finish completely. Didn't see anyone else mention this. I do like Leslie by herself much better than with a group. - posted by Linda on 5/13/2010

Loved it...I will purchase more of her videos. - posted by Deena on 5/13/2010
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
1st timer
Loved it..got right into it and use it 3-4 times a week..perfect amount of time before work..I am a mother of 5 and get 4 off to school in the am and can still fit this one in..bought 2 more from her to switch it up some. - posted by Holly on 1/27/2010
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

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
sample time graph
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.
sample time graph
Level
X
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
X
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
X
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
X
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
X
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.
