Customer Reviews of Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds Express - Walk Strong

Disappointed
It certainly wasn't what I was expecting. I thought I was going to get a GOOD WALKING video but in turn got more strength training with this stretchy band thing that I don't even have. I didn't like how it began with walking only to stop walking and start toning. I would have liked it better if it were strictly a walking video with walking all the time with added toning, not stopping walking while toning. I don't much care for this one and I LOVE the other tapes I own but this one, I was disappointed.

Motivating
I am a former couch potatoe. I did not like exercise before I tried this DVD. Leslie has motivated me to get up and move. I like the results that I've gotten. I've lost 10 pounds adjusting my eating habits and exercising five days out of the week. I've noticed that my legs and upper back and arms have begun to respond to the toning exercises. This is a miracle for me. The best thing about it is it's do-able! I can't do aerobics--I'm too clumsy. But I've decided that I can do more exercise than I thought I could do. My next challenge will probably be pilates. But I won't abandon Leslie Sansone's tapes. By the way, Leslie is not irritating, she comes off as a genuine, nice person with no diva qualities. P.S. I'm sending a copy to my sister who has diabetes and is seriously overweight.

Hardly walking strong!
I expected a lot more toning from this dvd/vhs, based on the title and description of the video. Although Ms. Sansone promotes the benefits of resistance work with the "stretchie" and the "interval training," this amounted to little more than maybe 10-15 minutes of actual toning work out of 30 minutes in the video. Although the walking steps are done to a brisk soundtrack, I also find it difficult to believe the level of activity for the video amounts to a 2 mile walk.

The pros - there are some worthwhile moves with the stretchie - some of the best are the lunge/squat moves. Once you learn these moves, you can easily repeat them on your own without using the tape if you want more resistance work.
Also, its great that she still includes the warm up period and cool-down stretching.

The cons - simply not enough toning. I feel I'm getting better results for my upperbody by using handweights. Also, the tape is more of a cardio/toning combination and it's too short on either end to really meet my personal cardio or toning goals per workout. I definitely have to augment this tape with other toning exercises or cardio time.

Still, overall a pleasant enough experience and I probably enjoyed it more than her regular 2-mile "cardio" walk programs.
