It works!

I have Leslie's Walk Away The Pounds deluxe set, which comes with the 1 mile walk tape, the 2 mile, the 3 mile, and the weighted balls. I started only 3 weeks ago, and I have been doing the 2 mile video every day, and the 3 mile when I feel more energetic.

This really works! I have lost weight and inches already! These workouts are easy, but they WORK! I have cut back on junk food, so I am not doing a major life changing diet, yet its still working. I am a clutz and get very tired easy, I have no coordination, but I can do these! :)

There is no jumping around and you need very little room, which is a plus. I find Leslie very easy to follow and I don't feel lost with whats going on like with Richard Simmons tapes.

IT'S EASY, BUT IT WORKS

This video, unlike Richard Simmons, Denise Austin, and other popular videos, is very easy to follow and do. It is for those of us who are coordinatedly-challenged! This set includes a 1 mile tape (20 minutes), a 2 mile tape (30 minutes), and a 3 mile video (45 minutes). It also comes with the awesome blue walk away balls, which are easy to hold and only 1 lb. You only use these about halfway through the video. The video has four basic steps: walking, kicks, knee ups, and side steps. She also does variations with the arms that work the upper body. Later on she introduces the kickback. I have been using this system with a good diet (vegan now) for a year now and have lost 71 lbs so far.

I absolutely LOVE the three mile video! It is fast-paced, and you can really feel that it is intense enough to burn many unwanted calories. It is about forty-five (45) minutes long, so it may be harder to fit into your schedule than the 1 or 2 mile tapes. But I like this tape the best because it works your legs, quads, thighs, triceps, biceps, waistline, and abs! It is challenging, so it is probably not for beginners. It makes you really sweat, and I like that quality in a work out video because it shows that your body is working hard to burn lots of calories! I like the fact that I can walk (POWER walk!) three miles in my own living room with the air conditioning on and the curtains clothes! This video is definitely worth your money, and I would recommend it to everyone!

Easy to follow, fun to do!

I have many workout videos on my shelf, but until I discovered Leslie Sansone's Walk Away tapes, they mostly just collected dust. The wonderful thing about Leslie's in-home walking workout is that it is easy (no difficult choreography or quick movement changes to confuse you), fast (you can choose the 15-min:1 mile, 30-min:2 mile, or 45-min:3 mile depending on how much time you have), and effective! Using both Weight Watchers and daily 2 or 3 mile walks, I have managed to lose 15 lbs. in 5 weeks!

While this might not be the best choice for someone looking for a super high-energy workout, it is perfect for those who prefer a no frills way to exercise out some stress and calories. Also nice is the fact that her exercise crew represents all body types - while there a few "perfect" figures, there are also those who may look more like you or me.

I like the weighted workout balls; they are easy to hold and provide just the perfect amount of weight to work the muscles of your arms and back without burning you out.

All in all, I will never buy another workout video again, and am getting rid of all the others I own. If a busy stay-at-home mom can finally make the time to exercise daily - and ENJOY it - what other endorsement does it need?!
