Customer Rating:      Summary: Walk Away Your Woes Comment: Just bought this old tape cheap and it's a hoot. It's so hokey, it's fun. Obviously, all the people in the group were supposed to make some positive comment in the course of the workout and some had a hard time doing it. There's ornery ol' Randy in the back, Jenay who comments on how comfortable the exercise balls are, Jody who just had the baby - you learn about all these people just by watching them interact so it makes it amusing while you're walking. The steps are simple but effective, anybody can benefit from the exercises regardless of fitness level, and if you - heaven forbid - haven't shelled out a ridiculous amount of money for the handy dandy Walk Away the Pounds weighted balls, just use 2 pound hand weights. Highly recommend.
Customer Rating:      Summary: My Kind of Exercise Comment: This was one of the first Walk Away the Pounds videos I bought and I still find it (months later) to be useful & fun to do. I prefer to walk outside but with winter coming, I need to do something else that will not hurt my knees with a lot of lunges & difficult dance-like moves. I enjoy the quick pace, the distance meter & the ongoing encouragement - I tune it out sometimes but usually I find it takes my mind off the time. I have since bought several other, longer videos to vary the workout routines but I recommend this video as well as the 3-mile for a good, strong workout. I have never found an aerobic workout to benefit my weight loss goals but this program seems to be the exception. I am looking forward to trying more of Leslie's videos this winter!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Simple & Effective Comment: Within a short amount of time (less than 30 minutes) you can walk two miles while burning a ton of calories because of the extra movements Leslie adds. While it's not challenging, I felt great after finishing the video because I felt a sense of accomplishment. I walked two miles, in my house. There's no excuse for putting this one off. It's easy, fun and it's also a nice change from my yoga & pilates routine. This would be a great video for someone who puts off exercising. You don't need one single piece of equipment. Do it in your bare feet if you want. You'll feel great but completing the video.
This is one of the few exercise videos I've seen that didn't have thin people in it. No one was obese but they weren't thin either. Not a bad thing, just an observation.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Simple but effective workout Comment: This workout is very good for toning your muscles and burning calories; however, I would get bored if I did it everyday. It has has minimal variety compared to other workout programs (dance-based aerobics, etc.), and I like variety. Still, this tape is a great workout for those days when I don't feel like thinking and trying to remember the next step/combo. Also, during the summer, it is great, because you can walk inside in the air conditioning and only break a light sweat! Just a note--if you buy this tape by itself, make sure you purchase two pound weights. You will need them if you want to make your arm toning more effective.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great workout for losing weight!! Comment: I love this video! When I started using this video, about 8 months ago, I weighed in at a whopping 263 pounds and i'm about 5'4. My doctor said I needed to lose weight because I was at a high risk of certain diseases. So, I decided to try this Leslie Sansone's video. I started on her one mile walk and then gradually switched to the 2 mile walk. Well, so far I've lost 60 pounds! And I'm not done yet!If your extremely overweight or a beginner, I do suggest starting on one of her one mile walks first, that way you can get use to exercising. Her video's are very easy too do, but they do get you sweating and breathing hard. I recommend them to all my family and friends!!
