This is a fun walking video. The kicks and punches add variety and challenge.

The worst of Leslie's workout videos

"All the things I love about Leslie Sansone workouts were missing in this session of "Walk and Kick". While the few boxing moves were nice, the negatives far outweighed the positive of the boxing segment.

1. The music was hard to hear and when I did, it didn't fit with the speed Leslie was walking at.
2. The lighting and setting were dreadful. The shadows were distracting. The entire scene reminded me of an old prison in a third world country.
3. Filming. The camera angles were bizarre. Tilted zooms and it seemed every time Leslie switched moves or was demonstrating a new boxing move, the camera was either just showing us Leslie's face or was flying around the setting. It's an exercise video not an action movie. The only camera angle that is needed is a full shot from the front. A stationary camera should be sufficient for most exercise videos.
4. Normally Leslie's workout partners are positive and the interaction is warm and friendly. In this workout, the partners seemed cold and aloof (was that really Beth to her left?), and the woman on the right was over the top annoying.

The bottom line? I have lots of Leslie Sansone DVDs that I reach for time and again, but this one will never see the light of day again."
