Time graph for Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds
Three easy-to-follow workouts. They use light weights to maximize fat-burning intensity and add body-sculpting effectiveness. You’ll smoothly progress from a short “one-mile walk” to an extended “three-mile walk” (increasing range of motion as well as duration). You’ll begin each program with pure cardio, then pick up the weights to get the aero/tone benefits. Anyone can do these moves, from simple marches to basic side steps and kickbacks. This QVC star keeps the energy level high with a motivating, “just havin’ fun” group of exercisers. They use 2 lb. weighted balls but 3 lb. dumbbells will work. ©2001.

Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds

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
GREAT PRICE, TOO!
Just noticed (my bad) that all three workouts are on this one DVD. I bought them separately, before I was introduced to Collage, and paid more than this. Even so, they were worth it. Just thought that was worth mentioning. - posted by Jeni on 3/12/2008
Leslie at Her Best!
Leslie Sansone's Walk-Away-The-Pounds 1, 2 and 3-Mile walks are my favorite walking workouts and perhaps my favorite Leslie videos. She's a little chatty, but I use that to my benefit - while some have said they get annoyed and mute the TV, I actually TURN UP THE VOLUME so I can walk around the house to the cuing and music! I can go up and down stairs if I want, and maybe even get a few chores done in the process. At the very least, it adds variety and I can concentrate more on my form and posture. Her weights (weighted balls) are nice, but any cushy hand-held "walking weights" will do. Also, I've designed my own weighted vest, like they're starting to use in nursing homes, so I can walk with extra weight distributed across my upper body without injuring my hands, arms or shoulders by carrying too-heavy hand weights. I started with half-pound weights - just carried the insert bars from a set of ankle weights - and worked up from there to three-pound ones. These are just ideas... Either this video or Leslie's 1 and 2-Mile WATP workout videos are simply a must to keep in my rotation, which also includes Pilates and some dance. It would be hard to imagine anyone (even if they were very out of shape) regretting buying these workouts! - posted by Jeni on 3/12/2008
Easy to do first thing in the morning!
I love this set of Leslie Sansone workouts! She gives a wonderful warmup in each video to help ease us into the routine. The pace increases gradually, allowing your body to warm up and take the extra movement. This workout is easy on joints. I also liked that there are three workouts in this set (1, 2, and 3 miles), allowing me to pick the one that best fits into my schedule. - posted by Tera on 2/16/2008
My Absolute Favorite!
I got these workouts on VHS when they first came out in 2001, keep coming back to them, and just bought them on DVD to "update". I still like this the BEST of all Leslie Sansone's walking workouts (and I like the other ones a lot!). They are very simple, easy to follow, even FUN to do - I actually look forward to doing these because I know I'll feel good and not exhausted. You can buy the weighted balls, but regular two pound weights work just fine for me. It's still a good workout without the weights too, although you won't get as much toning. The One and Two Mile workouts are enough to keep you healthy if you do them 3-5 times a week - my 66 year old mom and even my 87 year old aunt love them, yet even if you are 20, but not a hardcore aerobicizer, you'll find them effective! The Three Mile will get you in good shape...I find it to be a true "intermediate" workout, (comparable to others rated this by Collage). In addition to all the other reasons Leslie's workouts are great, these are my favorites because 1) the weights really do give you some good upper body toning, esp the 3 mile. 2) Much as I like Leslie's talk, you also get to actually hear what the other walkers are saying on these workouts, and their comments are also entertaining/motivating and make things go faster. 3) The set is warm but not too "homey/quiet" looking like in some of her videos. 4)The Mile Marker Meter gives you something to look forward to and helps you pace yourself...it's one thing to hear Leslie tell you you're at a certain mile point, but it gives an extra "boost" to see the meter move every 1/4 or 1/2 mile. As my mom says, these workouts "give you everything you need." I'm a physician and I recommend this set to patients, so you can even say it's "doctor recommended"! :) - posted by Vicki on 1/4/2008

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.
