"This workout is not for your die-hard cardio buff. This DVD is for someone like me who could probably count on 2 hands how many times they exercised in their adult life. I was heavy and my health was quite poor. My cardiovascular health was especially bad.



I received this DVD in July of this year, and it has made such a difference. This first time I tried the 1-mile, I was so out of shape that I wasn't sure I would make it through the warm-up! However, Leslie is gentle and slowly works you towards more intensity throughout the workout. When the 1-mile walk was over, my joints felt loose, my muscles felt warm, and I enjoyed the stretching like it was a special treat - a reward for my hard work.



Leslie's movements are simple - no knee-twisting movements involved. There's very little chance for injury. She adds upper-body movement for an increase in workout intensity.



I have combined Leslie's workouts with the Weight Watchers program. The weeks that I do WATP at least 3 times I see a much faster weight loss. Over the last 3 months, I have lost 21 pounds and watched my blood pressure drop from 140/95 (on blood pressure medication!) to 105/70 (medication free!).



She is a genuine person during the workout and very encouraging. I don't get bored doing this DVD. I know there are only 5 basic moves and some arm movements and she does a pretty good job of mixing it up. The basic moves are:walking in place, side steps, kicks, knee lifts, and kick-backs with variations on upper arm work too. During the 1-mile walk, she lets you know every time you've completed another 1/4 mile. On the 2-mile walk, she lets you know when you've completed every 1/2 mile which is very encouraging.





This DVD in particular is great because it contains two workouts - the 1-mile walk and the 2-mile walk. 1 mile is a great place to start. 2 mile is quite a workout. When you get more fit, you can combine both workouts or add weights to the workout. She also shows you several levels of intensity so you can tailor it to your needs and maximize your calorie burn without injuring yourself. I think it's great bang for the buck because this workout DVD can follow you through several levels of fitness depending on how you want to mix and match the workouts and weights.



It seems like only a short while ago when I didn't think I'd get through the 1-mile walk. Tonight I combined them into a 3-mile walk and I feel great!



I am seeing hope for my life and my health. Through some hard work, I've been able to start shedding the weight and get healthier, and I think the motivation and exercise I get from this WATP DVD is making such a difference.



I really, truly think there is a special place in Heaven for people like Leslie. I am so grateful for such a good program. It's really what I needed."

EXCELLENT Well-Rounded Workout

"I DETEST exercise, but was grossly overweight and had to do something. (I also have a bad back and knees) Sounds hopeless, right? Well, not after using Leslie's tapes! Her tapes are easy to follow, easy on the joints, and VERY effective. Between Weight Watchers and using Leslie Sansone's tapes - I have lost 65 pounds in 8 months and feel WONDERFUL!
I highly recommend this DVD for everyone! I currently own 3 of Leslie's tapes, and just ordered two more. I am an avid believer and fan! If I can do it, so can YOU!"
