"This DVD contains two express walking programs, the 1 Mile "Easy Walk" and the 2 Mile "Brisk Walk." Both programs utilize a strechie band to work on upper body strengthening as you walk. The Easy Walk program contains about 16 minutes of walking followed by a 2 minute stretch. The walking part includes Leslie's 4 basic steps--walk (march), side step, front kick, and knee up--and spends some time at a brisker pace; the band is used for just a few exercises in the second half mile. The Brisk Walk program involves 29 minutes of walking followed by 3 minutes of stretching. You'll spend longer time at a greater intensity and do a bit more with the band, but again, the band is only used for the second half of the workout. These are nice programs that are particularly ideal for those short on time and wanting to mix in some light strength training with their cardio workouts. Also, the Easy Walk would be especially appropriate for beginners, but even more advanced exercisers will still work up a sweat. Highly recommended."

Go for a walk -- indoors!

"I received this DVD as a Christmas gift from my walking partner. I wondered how interesting can a walking program DVD be?

I was pleased to find that Leslie Sansone's walking program was not only interesting, providing enough variations in movement to keep boredom from setting in, but when choosing the "brisk walk" I got a great cardio workout as well.

This is a good starter workout, simple enough for the most sedentary couch potato to follow -- allowing you to adapt the workout to your ability and comfort level. It's also a good DVD for avid walkers who want an option to be able to take their walk indoors when the weather doesn't permit a stroll outdoors.

However, if you're looking for a HEAVY cardio workout, this DVD probably isn't for you.

Even in the land of the sun and surf, Mother Nature doesn't always cooperate. When she doesn't -- reach for the "Walk Away the Pounds Express" DVD and go for a walk indoors!"

Great tape

"this cd is great! for those of you who don't like to exercise, this tape will help you succeed in your work-out methods. as soon as you feel you can't do another leg lift, or arm stretch, leslie goes back to walking. it's as if she knows when you're getting tired and will take you back to walking. it's great for beginners or for those of us who slacked up; it's a good jumpstart and very low impact. this is the easiest form of exercise i've done,yet i still feel the burn so i know it's working. you won't mind doing this and the best thing about it is that you can do it in the privacy of your own home, office, etc, and it's over in 30 minutes. by the time you get into it it's over! buy it! it's worth it!"

Great work out!

"This is a great DVD for a nice, quick workout. I am definately an amateur at exercise and I really like this one! It is very motivating, I can feel a little sweat build up and the one mile goes by really quick. I haven't tried the 2 mile yet but there is that option to kick it up a notch. It also takes very little floor space to do so I can do this in my bedroom. I highly recommend this one!"
