Movie Reviews
Great workout - but also a repackaged video from 2003

"This is a great strength building workout. It's challenging enough for experienced exercisers, and versatile enough so beginners will still be able to do most of the exercises. The intervals are surprisingly effective.
However, I bought this video without realizing that it was a repackaged video I already had. And I mean, the SAME EXACT VIDEO except they'd changed the cover. (Even same ISBN). So this is something you should check before you buy it. If you have the one with the green cover that says "Walk Away the Pounds with Leslie Sansome" at the top, Leslie in the middle with a pink top and black pants, and the very bottom has "Walk Strong" in smaller letters with a pink tennis shoe above and left of it... then you already have this video!"
Walk with Intervals of Strength-Training

"Although there's nothing in the marketing of this workout that would tell you this, this workout is filmed in the same studio and with the same walkers as the Walk & Kick and Walk & Jog workouts, both of which are also excellent. This is a 30-minute workout (equivalent to 2 miles, Leslie says) in which you do Leslie's usual walking steps interspersed with several 3-minute intervals of strength training using handweights. The 5 walkers, including Leslie, use no weights, 1-lb. weights, 2-lb. weights, 3-lb. weights, or 5-lb. weights. She demonstrates good form as you do lunges and various lifts to work different parts of the upper and lower body. I wish she gave a little more instruction on the safety of doing lunges so that beginners won't injure their knees, but overall it's an excellent workout. It's easy to follow, gives you a good overall workout, and is a great introduction to strength training if you've been wanting to try it on your own."
Low Impact - High Burn

"This workout is the one of the best workouts for your rear end, your legs and your upper body that I have ever done. All the while it is low impact. Great for folks with a back injury (like me). This workout is equal to two miles of walking. A word of advice, you might want to do it one time without any weights to get the hang of the lunges and the hand movements. The intervals make the time fly by. I love this workout and will make sure it stays in the rotation with the other walking workouts I have."
Very Challenging!!

"I have about 7 other Walk Away the Pounds tapes/DVD's and this BY FAR gives me the best all around workout of them all. It's an interval workout with weight training and walking inter-mixed. The walking is very brisk, and the toning is really challenging. I used 5 pounds weights like Leslie, and I felt the burn. She doesn't tone one body part at a time, ie: arms, then legs. She tones arms and legs at the same time, which makes you work SO much harder. For example, you do lunges while doing tricept kickbacks and then squats while doing bicept curls. This tape is a fantastic 30 minute routine with cardio and weight training packed in together. She doesn't waste one minute. Awesome, awesome, awesome!"
This is a workout for sure!

"I have lots of Leslie's walking dvds and this one really gives me a workout - I think it's because it has the lower/upper body work intervals along with the fast walking. You walk briskly, do a few minutes of lunges/lifts, etc. in between and then resume walking briskly again. My heart rates goes even faster while I am doing the toning segments, so I wouldn't worry about not keeping your heart rate going at all. I can finish the walk but it really gets my heart pumping thanks to the lunges and squats. I feel like I am more sweaty and tired after this walk than any of the others - even the longer ones. I like this dvd a lot."
