Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home: Walk Away Your Waistline!

I love Leslie Sansone. I have been walking with her since VHS days. I own several of her DVDs, older ones and newer ones. Leslie does not disappoint! I did not expect to get the waistline belt with this DVD since its an older DVD. You do not need it. There are 2 gals doing the workout without the belt . I followed them and worked up a nice sweat and burned calories just fine. If you want, you could use a workout band but really you don't need one.The workout can be done all at once. It can be done 1 or 2 miles if that is all the time or energy you have for that day.Its the "Leslie music" through out the workout which I personally love. I do not mind that its the same music through her DVDs. I find it comforting really. I am not buying the workouts for music anyway. I am buying them to workout and the music works!Its the same moves as most other DVDs and once again , I love it, the moves work, I do not injure myself using these moves.I can honestly say during my lifetime of working out( started in my 20s and Im now in my 50s) that Leslie does work. I have used other tapes, went to the gym, used to run but Leslie is the one I keep with constantly . I know someone people comment on the same old music, or they don't like her chatty voice. I've read complaints that its not actually the mileage she claims or they like the older cast not the newer cast. Leslie can not make everyone happy apparently. ha! My take on all that is this: Her tapes work. I work out daily with her. I mix up the length of the DVDs I use through the week. I try to get in a 5 mile DVD, a 4 and rest of week is mix of 1,2,3. I also watch what I eat, as in I had to cut down on junk food and sugar drinks. nothing crazy . I personally like the music, her chatty Cathy style , I can work out with her alone or whatever group she brings with her. I do not care if its not actually the said miles . its still 45 minutes or half hour or 20 minutes, etc. I focus on time put in more than mileage.

I would give it 0 stars if I could.I should have listened to all the 1 star reviews,about only receiving the DVD & not the walk belt.I thought I would be one of the lucky ones to get it but unfortunately not. I’m definitely returning, not paying the money just for the DVDFalse advertising

I HATE working out, and i mean HATE it. BUT there is something so effortless and yet effective about Leslie Sansone's workout videos. I always try different things because i get bored and one day i came across the Walk Away the Pounds videos and i find myself returning to them no matter what else i try. As a diabetic it's very important for me to work out and using the Walk Away the Pounds videos i've gotten back into shape after 2 back to back pregnancies that had me reeling from gestational diabetes. I found it hard to drop the baby weight after i had my youngest two kids and sure enough i ended up with full blown diabetes and was desperate for any help. of course the medication helped me shed 30lbs quickly, and eating a diabetic friendly diet too, but even after that i had at least 20lbs i wanted to lose. before i was diagnosed i was working out 3 times a day for an hour for 9months while breastfeeding even and never lost more than 5lbs. after the meds, and the diet i was really down on myself about the extra 20lbs i still needed to lose and some of the other workout videos i tried were just insane. i found myself completely worn out by the end of the day and with 4 kids and a busy schedule i just was crawling to my bed in the evenings. Once i started the Walk Away the Pounds videos i found that not only were they easy to follow, but they were fun and i still had tons of energy throughout the day. i do the video once a day, every day first thing in the morning and i'm ready to go the rest of the day. these videos helped me lose the 20lbs i wanted to lose and then something else happened....i saw tightness coming back to my tummy, legs, butt, and arms!! i loved this video in paticular w/the band. i love that you can use the band with any of her workout videos you just modify the moves to fit your own pace. it's really user friendly and versitle and ANYONE can use these videos. i loved it so much that i bought this set for my mother, who has plantar fasciitis and she has loved the video. this video workout isn't just for seniors as i've heard some people saying (around town), they are great for any age, any lifestyle, any person. i've recommened this workout video to so many people and i think it's wonderful that someone like me, someone that HATES working out can say that they truly love this work out video!

I bought this last summer and didn't even open the box until my New Year resolution. I was very pleasantly surprised. I have tried a lot of different exercise workouts and for a 51 yr old non-exerciser, most included too much fancy foot work or jumping around. This workout is great! I started out with the first 15 minute mile and completed the entire 3 miles the first time. This isn't about fancy footwork or jumping around. It's about getting up and moving. It's so simple to follow and by using your arms, you get just enough of a workout. I discovered that by holding 1 lb weights during the routine, I could boost it up a bit. I was so impressed with this workout, that I've been using it every morning for 15 minutes before work and the entire workout on the weekend. This is my first Leslie Sansone workout and since then I've bought a few more, but this is one of my favorites of the bunch. I love how these are broken down into 15 minute segments. The waist belt is a great addition too.This would be a great workout for someone who hasn't worked out in years, is very overweight or an older person because all you do is walk with a few small kicks, leg lifts and side steps. If it's too much to use the arms, then just do the steps. The tempo of the music keeps you going.On the negative side, Leslie's voice and laugh sort of gets on my nerves more so than in her other workouts but it's tolerable.
