This 1990 workout is simple enough for even first-time exercisers. Leslie Sansone and a roomful of women (whom she addresses as "girls") from her fitness center present 45 minutes of "walk-aerobics" consisting of four b... more »asic, low-impact moves: marching, low kicks, knee-ups, and side steps (also known as step-touch). Although Sansone sometimes adds directional and arm changes, the steps get repetitive. This might appeal to some beginners, but will bore exercisers who prefer the stimulation of variety, choreography, and/or challenge. Since the moves are so simple, it's incomprehensible why Sansone never catches on that she should cue the viewer's direction rather than her own. Her frequent "right, left, right, left" is annoying when we're actually doing "left, right, left, right," mirroring her. After the aerobics, you get 15 minutes of traditional floor work for the lower body and abdominals. --Joan Price« less

Great Workout & (a good) Ouch Ouch Ouch for floorwork!

"This video starts out slow, but then takes you further than other Leslie Sansone videos. The only ones that really give me a good workout are 2 Mile Walk and 1,2,3 Mile Super Fat Burner and the later starts out slow, too. That is great if I don't have the energy at first, because you will get some energy that carriers on long after the workout. I do the jogging, but there are times I don't and do the walking alternative. The music is upbeat and everyone looks great, which really helps inspire me. At the end of the workout there are outer thigh and glute floorwork. I was surprised on how effective it was for a Leslie Sansone video, and I have done some Firm tapes to know what a challenge is. There is also abdominal work at the end, too."
Great Variety from Leslie's usual stuff

"I'm a Leslie fan. I'm in my forties and in good shape. I think it's too bad some people are not giving this set very enthusiastic reviews.
The two mile walk is an interval session with Leslie alone; the intervals are toning with weights. The four mile walk has jogging intervals and lifting arms intervals. At the end there are 15 min. of tough-on-the-"back end"-muscles toning without weights (you could add ankle weights).
I was happily surprised to run across this DVD in the store. I don't mind the old date or neon costumes. The workouts were both a lot of fun--I did them back-to-back. I really have to wonder about people who can't figure out how to keep themselves from getting injured in a workout. Tip: if it hurts, modify it or don't do it."
EXERCISE FOR EVERYONE

"I just got this video and I can say that it is every bit as effective and fun as Leslie's other videos. I have 2 of her workout programs (one with weighted gloves and another with soft weighted balls). While walking in place may sound simplistic and silly to some people - do not be fooled by the simplicity. This really works. You will get your heart rate up and burn fat. I currently do not have the stamina or flexibility (due to previous injuries) to do a heavy duty workout. THIS IS DOABLE FOR ME - even my 81 year old dad can do this workout. Leslie's workouts are simple and realistic (you won't see ultra perfect bodies in the background only real people - and - in the privacy of your own home when ever you choose to you can fit this into your schedule and see real results! Anyone out there who hates to exercise, or believes they're unable to follow an exercise program, please buy this. It will change your thinking and your life!"
Leslie Sansone Walking Fat Burner Workout

"This is a great tape. I would tell you to buy it and enjoy it. The gal at work started to do this tape and also another one from Leslie and she watched what she ate and lost now 35 lbs. I said if she can do it I can. I got the tape and I have lost 15 lbs and a lot of inches. It is not a hard tape and she does talk alot so I kinda lower the voice but she is good. You will love it and want to own more then one of her tapes. I have 4 of her tapes. I rotate it every day with a different one. Take the time and say I am going to do it for ME! Aloha from Hawaii"
Boring - No Time - Distance Meter

"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."
