Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds |
  Great workout....I keep coming back to this one |
| This is the first DVD I actually did consistently for almost a year. I like the moves, the music is good. I still walk to this one occasionally when I'm tired, or don't want anything too strenuous. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I like Leslie's other walkers better ( like the group on WATP-Express). There is one that looks completely bored during the whole walk on this one..If she wasn't on this one, I would give it 5 starts. The pace builds very gradually so this walk is a good choice for beginners. - posted by Melanie on 4/5/2010 |

| No excuse not to get some exercise! |
| This is the first exercise video I've ever purchased and I love it. Until now, my workout was walking--outdoors or on my treadmill, plus some yoga type stretching--but this adds another dimension with the upper body work. Being able to choose from 3 different walks is a plus. Even on the busiest days, pop the one-mile walk into the DVD player, and it's done in a flash. It gets done so quickly, you can't make any excuses about not having the time. Very easy to follow the instructions and variations in intensity are demonstrated. I'm an active, normal weight 60 year-old who wants to keep in shape as I age and this is a great choice for me. - posted by Bette on 4/2/2010 |

| My favorite video! |
| This is my favorite of all Leslie's videos. I had gotten it when it came out the first time on VHS. I was so happy that I could get it on DVD. - posted by mary on 4/2/2010 |

| Great Go-To Video and a Solid Workout |
| This is one of the videos I use as a "go-to" when I want an easy-to-follow, non-complicated, effective workout. It's about 45 minutes and adds hand-weights for part of the walk. Now that I've been exercising for awhile, I usually add ankle weights and heavier hand weights for the whole video, but beginners will enjoy it just as it is. Leslie is her usual happy, chatty self...very encouraging and likeable. This is one of her older dvds and pretty basic, one that I enjoy and use often. - posted by Julie (Busy Mom of Seven Gets in Shape) on 1/20/2010 |

| Great Start of Beginners or Good for Light Days |
| This is the best way for anyone new to exercising to start. It is classic Leslie. The weighted balls are nice to have but you don't need them for this to be an effective workout. On days when I lack motivation to workout, I like to go back to these. The moves are basic so I don't have to think too hard! But, it ensures that I get a good workout. - posted by Tina on 11/1/2009 |

| Walk At Home 3 Mile is better. |
| I'd say I'm a beginning/intermediate when it comes to exercise.
I've been doing the Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home 3 Mile for 2 weeks, so I decided I'd try this one out because it also works more upper body and has the weights.
At the end of this work out I didn't feel like I burned as many calories or got as good of a workout as I did with just the Walk At Home 3 Mile with no weights. I thought adding the weights would feel like I burned more, but it didn't.
I also didn't like that this one was in a group. I prefer her much more one-on-one. When she gets in a group atmosphere I feel like she becomes way more annoying and chatters WAY too much.
Today I decided to go back to my Walk at Home 3 Mile and just add weights to that workout, and I felt much more calorie burn this time.
I'm also disappointed in her stretching after all her workouts so far. I don't feel any muscle tension release, so I don't even bother. I do the cool down, but then do yoga stretches to relax and stretch my muscles.
I would say it would be beneficial for her to have some warm up stretching before she starts the walking, but given her poor stretching after the workout, I don't see what good it would do.
I'm sticking with the Walk At Home 3 Mile, adding weights to that routine and doing yoga stretches after.
Overall, I like Leslie, I just don't think much of this workout. - posted by emmi on 4/23/2009 |

| I come back to this one a lot |
| I have several Leslie Videos. She really is the only instructor I have actually been able to do. All the other in home videos were too long and too hard. Even back when I was 18 to 25. (I'm 31 now) I just can't follow the routine type steps where you do several on one side, then the next, now put it all together and add this. Leslie provides a good strong work out that you can actually do! Some are too easy. I usually start off with one of the 2 miles from the sets I have when it's been awhile then I continue with the 3 and 4 milers. I always switch them up and this is one I always come back to. It is a bit "slower" sometimes it's awkward for me to get in the groove because the steps are slower. Maybe because she's incorporating weights while walking it can't be a faster speed. Overal it's a great workout. - posted by Angie on 4/21/2009 |

| Good workout, no selection options |
| A nice workout with or without weights, but there's no option to select 1, 2 or 3 miles. Worth it to add to your collection. - posted by Wendy on 3/4/2009 |

| It's A Great Workout |
| I've worked out for years in the morning before going to work. This is the only workout I don't get up and dread doing. It's a great way to start the day. I started with one mile, then 2 mile and am now up to the 3 mile five times a week. I plan on getting the 5 mile. One thing on the 3 mile workout. The one gal Janier. Why does she give that look especially to that one gal Tara. It's not a good idea for her to say she can go 10 more miles. She makes it sound like it's not a difficult workout. It's almost irritating and makes you feel like you're really out of shape! In any case, Leslie is a great instructor and she definitely motivates you to keep going! - posted by Cecilia on 6/20/2008 |

| I AM A KICKBOX CATHE CARDIO LOVER BUT AM IMPRESSED WITH LESLIE |
| Every day I do kickboxing, intense cardio, heavy weightwork. I am into working hard and dripping sweat. But when shoulder surgery put a halt to my aerobics for a few weeks, I HAD to do something and decided to try Leslie. Even though I'm in my fifties, I had always snickered at her workouts, but I'm not snickering anymore. She is terrific! The workouts are definitely not boring; she varies the moves throughout between walking, lifting knees, kicking, using the weighted balls. (I use my weighted gloves.)She is a good instructor with the right amount of chattiness, enthusiasm, and encouragement and her class members talk and have fun too. I definitely work up a sweat and have walked 2 miles before I know it. I plan to continue to work out with Leslie even after I get back to my more intense workouts because she will give me a nice change of pace and my knees sometimes need a break from the aerobics. I can see myself walking 2-3 miles with Leslie and then doing upper body weight work--fun! Another great thing is that just about anyone can do her workouts; you can walk easily or really pump it. Leslie may be perfect for my 78 year old mom who likes to walk but doesn't always want to get outside and do it. It is easy to see why Leslie has such a strong following! - posted by lee on 6/19/2008 |
