Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds 3 Pack (includes weight set) ASIN: B00005T33K
Customer's Rating: 4 Summary: Easy and Fun! Great for beginners
Comments: This is a dynamic video set that really isn't intimidating. I was looking for an alternative indoor workout (besides using the treadmill every single day)! And as cold and dark as it gets up here during the winter months, I don't get very many chances to get a full walk outdoors (unless I'm cross-country skiing)..I usually do the 2 mile and then the 3 mile tape afterwards, and believe me, my legs and arms do feel it..not sure I like the water-weighted balls, however (they sweat in my hands too much). Other than that, Leslie is a dynamic personality and I recommend it to ANYONE who wants to get a foothold into fitness (especially as a new year approaches)!

Leslie Sansone - Walk Away The Pounds For Abs w/belt (3 Pack) ASIN: B00006RCQH
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: This workout program is awesome!
Comments: I have tried everything including "The Firm". Leslie's workout program is not hard on my knees as the "The Firm" is and makes me feel wonderful. You don't have to use three different tapes to get the benefits on working out!

Leslie Sansone - 2 Mile Walk ASIN: 6304291752
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: great tape
Comments: I've been using this tape for a little over a week and I find it a great workout. The first time I tried it, I thought it was a little too easy. However, by the third time, I made sure to lift my legs higher on the kicks and raise my knees more on the leg lifts and "walk" more briskly with more arm movement, and I really started to feel the workout. Definitely something I can see myself keeping up.

Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds - Super Fat Burning ASIN: B00005T33H
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: GREAT walking tape!
Comments: I usually walk outside, but with winter here in Michigan, I can't always do that. I originally purchased this tape for my daughter, borrowed it, loved it, then purchased one for myself. This is a great workout for your legs and arms and you walk three miles while doing it inside! I would recommend this tape for anyone used to walking three miles and wants/needs to walk inside.

Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: Join in the Fun and Get the Results you are looking for!
Comments: I began using this video about 4 months ago and really am greatful I did. I could hardly walk at the time and couldn't side step at all without my knee giving out.

I would highly recommend this one to anyone who says they don't like to exercise or don't think they can..You'll be surprised at yourself..Leslie makes it fun and possible for you to strengthen muscles and burn fat and do it in the privacy of your own home. YOU CAN DO IT! I have bought 3 of this particular video and passed them on to others that love it too and are seeing results.

Leslie Sansone - Walk and Firm Fat Burner - 2 Mile In-Home Walking ASIN: 6305859612
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: We've done the (seemingly) impossible!
Comments: When I was diagnosed with diabetes and told to lose weight, I wilted because it seemed impossible to lose all that abdominal fat,especially since I had come to dislike exercise in my obese state. Also, with the onset of winter and slippery walking conditions my favorite exercise seemed to be a difficult choice. But Leslie's tapes solved all those problems. What I like best about them is (1) there are a minimum of moves to master and (2) the pacing is perfect; just as you think you can't do any more of a move, she gets you back to the basic walk which gets your energy and strength back so that you're ready for the next variation. Also the timing of 30 minutes fits easily into a busy schedule. (I have even adapted her workout to be used with Peter Jennings' newscast, using the commercial breaks to do 3 reps of 2 flights of stairs each during commercials.) I heartily recommend this tape, especially knowing that if it gets too tame, there's a three mile tape to which to graduate. By the way, I've lost 20 lbs. in two months.

Miracle Mile With Leslie Sansone ASIN: 6304291736
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: Excellent video
Comments: I absolutely love to do this workout! I am not the most graceful or coordinated of people and thats why this video is great. The steps are easy, she explains what's coming next and it's a good way to get me moving. I will be purchasing her other videos because I'm enjoying this one so much and want to challenge myself to the next level. I would definitely recommend this tape to all my friends.

Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds - High Calorie Burn ASIN: B00005T33G
Customer's Rating: 3 Summary: Her "Two Mile Walk" video from 1996 is Substancially Better
Comments: When comparing this 2-mile workout to her earlier 2-mile video, this one is substancially less upbeat. The music drags along. Her "Two Mile Walk" has much faster-paced music and a few steps that are dance-like (grapevines)! It's also much more FUN than this one. In addition, I like the workout team in Two Mile Walk better. It's a smaller workout group, all female, and all coordinated. They remind me of a cheerleading squad! In this newer 2-mile workout Leslie features a bigger crowd of people which are considerably less polished. Likewise, there is one strange old man working out in the back of all these women. For me this was yet another detraction.

Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds - Get Up and Get Started ASIN: B00005T33F
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: Awesome
Comments: I never found time for exercising, it was either too cold or raining or too hot. With Leslie Sansone, WATP, I can exercise any time, rain or shine. She motivates and her workouts are designed for all ages no matter how fit or unfit you are. I was able to do the 2 mile tape and she gives you a marker on the tape so you can see where you are. This is not only walking but cardio. I love it and recommend it to anyone who is not a "big exercise fan". She is very down to earth and has people of all sizes doing her workout.

Leslie Sansone: Walk the Walk - Firm Walk ASIN: B000069I2T
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: Walk Videos are the best
Comments: I have most of her walk videos and used all of them all the time so it doesn't get boring. Her videos are low impact and fun and the best part is that you can do them right at home. if you don't have the room to walk around you can just walk in place. Upper and lower body workouts! I say they are all a 10+

Walk the Walk ASIN: B00005UMQK
Customer's Rating: 4 Summary: This is gonna be good!
Comments: I've only seen the 1 mile tape in this collection and I can already tell I'm gonna like it. The three tapes are of varying intensities and lengths, providing a progressive workout as you increase in fitness. Or you can rotate the tapes to provide variety and interest, or use a shorter tape on days when you have less time to exercise. I think I might even be able to use tape one (15 minute mile with optional 5 minutes of toning) in the mornings before I "officially" start my day. I was afraid these tapes would be too tame. I was a former advanced stepper but after a long time away from exercise, I don't have the stamina or leg strength to do even easy stepping - after my last attempt at stepping my knees hurt for a week - but these all floor, low impact moves are within my ability and still provide challenge and progression. Nondescript but upbeat music, no distracting set or funky moves. I can't wait to get on to tapes 2 and 3 in this set.

Leslie Sansone: Walk off Weight System - Weight Loss Walk ASIN: 6302645980
Customer's Rating: 4 Summary: Grainy! but good
Comments: I enjoy Leslie Sansone.. She has helped me( an overweight exerciser) begin to workout again. I purchased this video some time ago and I had not used it. On New Years Day I got up and I put my 3-mile power walk(all time favorite) on then I decided I would try this video. I managed to do this and her 1mile from her walk away the pounds collection Making it a total of a 8 mile walk in 2 hours. I am using Leslie to work up to the firm.. This video is cheesy and grainy but if you don't want "high-impact" and you just want to work out, then this is good. Leslie talks all through it too,but I don't mind. I have a health goal and she is helping me reach it.

Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds ASIN: B00005T33J
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: REALLY BURN FAT - NO EQUIPMENT NECESSARY!
Comments: I own this and many other of Leslie's walking videos. They are all great, easy to follow and best of all do not require special equipment. all you need is a sturdy pair of sneakers (no fancy and expensive exercise clothing either just whatever is comfortable for you). I wish I had discovered Leslie's videos several years ago before I spent a lot of $$$$ on exercise equipment that has hardly ever been used. I use Leslie's videos 4-5 times a week and am never bored. Save your money. Don't sink it into exercise machines that take up space and end up been used as clothes racks! Invest more than a few $$ for a good pair of walking shoes for those precious feet and walk with Leslie everyday rain, sleet, snow, or shine.

Walking: Fat Burner Workout! ASIN: 6301913744
Customer's Rating: 3 Summary: Boring - No Time - Distance Meter
Comments: I am just trying to get back in shape and using videos to do it. This is my second Leslie Sansone video, third low impact aerobic video. I don't really like it. I have her 2 mile walk and love it. It made me want to get more of her videos but I think I will stick with her stuff from 1996 on. I feel that the 2 mile walk gave me a better, more varied, low impact work in 25 minutes than this did in approx. 40 min. The 2 mile walk does a few more different types of moves and I also feel that it changes them up more to make it more interesting. The timer on the two mile also keeps me going while this video I was just waiting for it to end. I have only used twice and can't get into it. I don't look forward to it if I have decided to put it on. The set is very cheesy. There are gaps in the music. It does have some jogging segments but during it I feel the low impact option feels like it just drags on. I have not tried the toning section at the end yet. I am still willing to give other Leslie Sansone's videos a chance because I truly love the 2 mile walk.

Leslie Sansone: Firm Up Fast ASIN: 6304291744
Customer's Rating: 3 Summary: Decent basic toning
Comments: This is the 4th Leslie Sansone tape I've bought. Together with the '2-mile walk', it makes a decent 1 hour workout. This tape has some of the same participants of '2-mile walk' and, like that video, has the participants working at different levels. This tape is more no-nonsense than her other tapes in that she doesn't interact at all with the participants. There are good exercises for thighs, hips, arms, and abs, but little for shoulders, calves, and back. Form is stressed throughout the video, but bad form is used for some of the ab exercises. The participants sometimes show appallingly bad form, which may be confusing to a beginner. The warm-up is inadequate and the stretching is almost nonexistent in this video, so be prepared to do these on your own.

Leslie Sansone: Walk off Weight System - Firm Off Weight ASIN: 6302645999
Customer's Rating: 4 Summary: Great for toning
Comments: I think this is a great tape for toning. The segments really pack a lot of exercises into 20 minutes. Coupled with an aerobic exercise, this is really shaping me up. Leslie does jabber on a bit -- but she leads a good workout.

Too Busy to Workout-Workout ASIN: 6301560930
Customer's Rating: 4 Summary: Not complicated and you'll see results.
Comments: This was the first Leslie Sansone tape I purchased and I have been a fan of hers ever since. She seems to respect that most of us do not have a studio for a living room or have a degree in choreography. The workout moves are simple and can be done in a small amount of space. It's great for uncoordinated types like myself. I would've liked to have seen some stretching excercises beforehand and some focus on abs. Otherwise, it's a great all around workout. You'll see results if you stick with it and it's a great introduction to a more intense workout routine. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants to start a running program but hasn't run before. Also a good intro into some basic weight training.

Advanced Walk Aerobics ASIN: B000006CNZ
Customer's Rating: 2 Summary: The only Leslie Sansone "Walk Away" tape I haven't cared for
Comments: There were two things about this video I didn't care for--and one of them was my own fault. I didn't notice the video was from 1989, with all the poodle hairdos and glittery workout clothes and leggings! I found it very distracting (but I giggled a lot, not something I often do during exercise videos so maybe that's really a plus...!)
But I found the low audio and video production values of this tape much more distracting. I believe it's one of her earliest videos, which might account for it. The others I've bought and used (I have at least 12) are far above this both in production and professionalism of Leslie's instruction. Very grainy video and it was often hard to hear the music. And as anyone who's followed Leslie's walking tapes knows, she IS perky and sometimes runs off on a topic with all sincerity, while we're all sweating away at our 24th repetition until she collects herself! Personally I don't have a problem with the perkiness and I'm advanced enough that the moves aren't much of a problem but occasionally I find myself talking to the TV saying, "Come ON, Les, get on to something else!"
I really liked that the folks in the video were actual students of all shapes and sizes, and, yes, a few men! from her classes. The set was not conducive to clarity of audio, though, and seemed pretty tight since it was so chock-full of "regular folks" doing the exercising. Overall, I love her tapes, but get some newer ones with better production values and fewer people, I find those much easier to follow.

Walk Aerobics ASIN: 6300989356
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: Great workout
Comments: I was pleased when my dayghter-in-law gave me her copy of this walk aerobics video by Leslie. She's wonderful, I have enjoyed it so much that I do it twice a day, morning and evening. Am trying to purchase her advanced walk aerobics video, but having some difficulties. Do you have an outlet in Australia selling Leslies great workouts. Have benefited greatly. Keep up the great work...

Leslie Sansone's In-Home Walking ASIN: B00000I1PS
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: The Essential Exercise Video
Comments: A must-own exercise video, in this Leslie takes you on a 25 minute intense aerobics workout. Using only basic exercise moves (kicking, side-stepping, kick backs and knee lifts, mostly), Sansone gets you out of your seat with fast-paced music, inspirational words for dieters and overly enthusiastic comments on how well you're doing. In all fairness, nothing has helped me more than this video. I've been using this (varied with a twenty minute audio cassette also by Leslie- great for traveling) three times a week for two years. I lost the ten pounds I wanted to and haven't gained an ounce back since, WITH NO DIET CHANGES! The short duration of the tape is also encouraging, unlike a Richard Simmons (or most other similar workout tapes), you're not dancing your buns off for upwards of an hour, it's just 25 minutes! A must-own way for getting a healthy, non-obsessive workout without leaving your living room.

Walk Aerobics for the Family ASIN: 6302142407
Customer's Rating: 5 Summary: all of the Leslie Sansone Walk Aerobic Tapes
Comments: I started using the over 40's video when I had a leg operation and had to walk every day. Although I am not over 40 I was very unfit. I progressed to Walk Aerobics, Advanced Walk Aerobics and the Fat Burner Workout. I have gone from being totally exhausted at the end of every workout to being energised and able to do another workout with weights, I am able to climb stairs and have lost weight. The Walk Aerobics tapes are superior to others because they are simple, effective and can be done in a small area
