Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds |
  Too easy |
| The instructor is upbeat and the video I tried, the instruction was fine this is just too easy for me, so I am returning it. I need an intermediate workout that isn't going to tax my knees with lots of lunges and squats. This video fits that bill but it really is too easy, I barely broke a sweat nor did I breathe hard. In my opinion this would be a great video for someone who has had zero activity and wants to gently break into an exercise routine. A good video for seniors who have been inactive, as well. - posted by Dawn on 10/19/2011 |

| Love the versatility! |
| I really like these videos. I do the one/two mile walk on days when it's difficult to get motivated. The three mile walk really kicks up the calorie burn! The set is versatile and allows me to always find a workout that fits into my schedule. I'm an older career woman trying to stay healthy. Leslie's positive attitude and variety make workouts fun! - posted by Karen on 9/8/2011 |

| The Original and Best for Weighted Walking |
| I got this on VHS back in 2001. I recently picked up a copy on DVD for old time's sake, and even though I hadn't done this routine for at least six years, I still had the entire thing memorized, and it just about cracked me up with laughter to the point that I almost had to stop. Seriously, though, I really like the use of the weights (I use 3 lbs dumbbells.) It's the best choreographed Leslie work-out, though the scripted dialogue is corny and phony, but I still LOVE IT because the cast is so robotic, it's hilarious and time flies because their silly chatter distracts me. The arm moves are more challenging in this video than her others that use firm bands and such, I just wish it was an hour long rather than only 45 minutes. Again, serious fitness buffs will scoff at this and other Leslie workouts, but the reality is that she has brought basically choreographed, low impact floor aerobic exercise to many people who would not be working out otherwise, so "whatever." I started with this vid ten years ago, and eventually it got me to weigh-lifting classes at the gym and to outdoor jogging. You gotta start somewhere, and Leslie makes working out very possible for many non-exercisers too scared or confused to start on their own. KUDOS and BRAVO to Leslie and WATP! - posted by Deedee on 8/12/2011 |

| walking with Leslie |
| I enjoy this DVD. I also purchased the active adults DVD which is quite similiar but a little more intense. I do the 2 mile walk with 1 lb weights but will be adding another 1/2 lb. I do this DVD when I feel a little stronger and do the Active Adults when when I am a little less ambitious. Again there is not much difference, but this DVD also has a 3 mile walk that I haven't explored yet. Some people complain about her chattiness. I like it, it feels like I am walking with company/ - posted by Stefanie on 6/23/2011 |

| Great, Fun Workout! |
| I really enjoy this workout. You have the option of choosing how 'far' you want to go, whether it is 1 mile or three, plus you have the added advantage of using the weights. I used regular dumbbells since I didn't have the weighted balls, and found it to be just as challenging. Plus then you have the option to keep upping the weights whereas the balls you don't. Very fun workout, one I will add to my weekly routine. - posted by Mindy on 3/17/2011 |

| Oldie but Goody |
| I got this workout set when it first came out on DVD. I still use this as a back up when I can't get out or get bored. It's a great workout and I use heavier dumbbells for more resistance. - posted by Deb M on 10/28/2010 |

| 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 |
