Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds |
 It's A Great Workout |
| I've worked out for years in the morning before going to work. This is the only workout I don't get up and dread doing. It's a great way to start the day. I started with one mile, then 2 mile and am now up to the 3 mile five times a week. I plan on getting the 5 mile. One thing on the 3 mile workout. The one gal Janier. Why does she give that look especially to that one gal Tara. It's not a good idea for her to say she can go 10 more miles. She makes it sound like it's not a difficult workout. It's almost irritating and makes you feel like you're really out of shape! In any case, Leslie is a great instructor and she definitely motivates you to keep going! - posted by Cecilia on 6/20/2008 |

| I AM A KICKBOX CATHE CARDIO LOVER BUT AM IMPRESSED WITH LESLIE |
| Every day I do kickboxing, intense cardio, heavy weightwork. I am into working hard and dripping sweat. But when shoulder surgery put a halt to my aerobics for a few weeks, I HAD to do something and decided to try Leslie. Even though I'm in my fifties, I had always snickered at her workouts, but I'm not snickering anymore. She is terrific! The workouts are definitely not boring; she varies the moves throughout between walking, lifting knees, kicking, using the weighted balls. (I use my weighted gloves.)She is a good instructor with the right amount of chattiness, enthusiasm, and encouragement and her class members talk and have fun too. I definitely work up a sweat and have walked 2 miles before I know it. I plan to continue to work out with Leslie even after I get back to my more intense workouts because she will give me a nice change of pace and my knees sometimes need a break from the aerobics. I can see myself walking 2-3 miles with Leslie and then doing upper body weight work--fun! Another great thing is that just about anyone can do her workouts; you can walk easily or really pump it. Leslie may be perfect for my 78 year old mom who likes to walk but doesn't always want to get outside and do it. It is easy to see why Leslie has such a strong following! - posted by lee on 6/19/2008 |

| GREAT PRICE, TOO! |
| Just noticed (my bad) that all three workouts are on this one DVD. I bought them separately, before I was introduced to Collage, and paid more than this. Even so, they were worth it. Just thought that was worth mentioning. - posted by Jeni on 3/12/2008 |

| Leslie at Her Best! |
| Leslie Sansone's Walk-Away-The-Pounds 1, 2 and 3-Mile walks are my favorite walking workouts and perhaps my favorite Leslie videos. She's a little chatty, but I use that to my benefit - while some have said they get annoyed and mute the TV, I actually TURN UP THE VOLUME so I can walk around the house to the cuing and music! I can go up and down stairs if I want, and maybe even get a few chores done in the process. At the very least, it adds variety and I can concentrate more on my form and posture. Her weights (weighted balls) are nice, but any cushy hand-held "walking weights" will do. Also, I've designed my own weighted vest, like they're starting to use in nursing homes, so I can walk with extra weight distributed across my upper body without injuring my hands, arms or shoulders by carrying too-heavy hand weights. I started with half-pound weights - just carried the insert bars from a set of ankle weights - and worked up from there to three-pound ones. These are just ideas... Either this video or Leslie's 1 and 2-Mile WATP workout videos are simply a must to keep in my rotation, which also includes Pilates and some dance. It would be hard to imagine anyone (even if they were very out of shape) regretting buying these workouts! - posted by Jeni on 3/12/2008 |

| Easy to do first thing in the morning! |
| I love this set of Leslie Sansone workouts! She gives a wonderful warmup in each video to help ease us into the routine. The pace increases gradually, allowing your body to warm up and take the extra movement. This workout is easy on joints. I also liked that there are three workouts in this set (1, 2, and 3 miles), allowing me to pick the one that best fits into my schedule. - posted by Tera on 2/16/2008 |

| My Absolute Favorite! |
| I got these workouts on VHS when they first came out in 2001, keep coming back to them, and just bought them on DVD to "update". I still like this the BEST of all Leslie Sansone's walking workouts (and I like the other ones a lot!). They are very simple, easy to follow, even FUN to do - I actually look forward to doing these because I know I'll feel good and not exhausted. You can buy the weighted balls, but regular two pound weights work just fine for me. It's still a good workout without the weights too, although you won't get as much toning. The One and Two Mile workouts are enough to keep you healthy if you do them 3-5 times a week - my 66 year old mom and even my 87 year old aunt love them, yet even if you are 20, but not a hardcore aerobicizer, you'll find them effective! The Three Mile will get you in good shape...I find it to be a true "intermediate" workout, (comparable to others rated this by Collage). In addition to all the other reasons Leslie's workouts are great, these are my favorites because 1) the weights really do give you some good upper body toning, esp the 3 mile. 2) Much as I like Leslie's talk, you also get to actually hear what the other walkers are saying on these workouts, and their comments are also entertaining/motivating and make things go faster. 3) The set is warm but not too "homey/quiet" looking like in some of her videos. 4)The Mile Marker Meter gives you something to look forward to and helps you pace yourself...it's one thing to hear Leslie tell you you're at a certain mile point, but it gives an extra "boost" to see the meter move every 1/4 or 1/2 mile. As my mom says, these workouts "give you everything you need." I'm a physician and I recommend this set to patients, so you can even say it's "doctor recommended"! :) - posted by Vicki on 1/4/2008 |

| The best of the best |
| I have arthritis and I find Leslie's video's the ONLY video's I can exercise to and not be over exerted and in intense pain. Thank you Leslie, you saved my life! The Walk Away the Pounds 1,2 and 3 are the best of the best! I find myself going back to these all the time. Simple, easy, and they work! - posted by Susan on 12/27/2007 |

| This helped me lose 75 pounds! |
| I was morbidly obese with major back and knee issues. The physical therapist at the hospital told me about Leslie's workouts. I hate to exercise, but I love these workouts. I started at 325lbs and could barely get through the one mile. Now 7 months later at 250lbs. I am powering through the 3 mile. I have 7 of her DVDs, and these are my favorite. - posted by Allison on 10/13/2007 |

| Still a great workout! |
| I started with these workouts about 4 years ago. I have advanced to other things over the years, but I always come back to the 3 mile super fat burning one out of this set. It still kicks my but in a different way! I just did it last night and I use 3lb dumbells instead of the walk away 2lb balls. - posted by Tracy on 10/9/2007 |

| GREAT VIDEO IF YOU CAN'T DO HARD ROUTINES |
| I love Leslie's videos. I was looking for cardio that would not be hard to follow plus I wanted to work with weights. This video is great because I get to work with weights PLUS pick 15 or 30 mins. She only has 4 moves and they are sooooo easy and when I'm done with the 15 or the 30 min I am sweating soooo much it just feels great!!! I love all her videos because they are sooo simple. If you need cardio, a little bit of weights and SIMPLE routines this is for you! - posted by Lisa on 6/10/2007 |
