in Fitness and Exercise
Been using YouTube footage which has been ace while I waited for my DVDs to arrive. They came this morning, with special resistence bands that you attach around your trainers and hold the other end with handles in your hands, Well let me tell you it was no ordinary walk, im very hot and deffo feel like ive had a work out and that was just on the "One Mile Super walk" which is only 15 minutes!

I can so recommend to people out there that have young kids that cant keep up the pace when outside, if weather is terrible, or you just dont like or cant afford to go to a gym and it is really good for those that have not done any form of exercise for some time.

So far from what ive seen there is no jumping around, just paced walking to the beat of music, along with gentle kicks, side steps with arm movements and knee kicks, with the resistence bands these move to the next level of intensity, but all good. Your not out of breath, although it does quicken and like I mentioned before, you get very warm and a wee bit sweaty :blushing: :laugh:

I can so recommend it :wink:

    My only form of cardio for the last 6 months has been her videos. I think they are working for me! I hope you enjoy doing it.

    Ok I am really going to intensify my search for the DVD in Australia now. Someone must sell it. Otherwise will learn how to order from the internet. Did the 15min utube version and enjoyed that.

    i've done her videos more than any other exercise and i love them! i've found the 4 mile walk vid with the resistance band and i only do the first 3 miles usually. 15 min, 12 min, then 10 min with the boosted walking. it is the perfect combo of walking, aerobic, and cardio exercises. i'm sweating by the 2nd mile and am losing weight because of it. looking on her site for more boosted walking vids. good luck with her!

    I Love Leslie's video's. They are relatively cheap at Walmart for $12 I believe. I have her 3, 4 and 5 mile and they are all terrific. I love them as a backup for staying home. They work! Great sweat too. Just wish she had the calories burned on her vids.

    Her DVD`s are the only exercise dvds I actually look forward to (and believe me, I`ve bought quite a few dust collectores in my time if you know what I mean ha ha)

    I too have just bought the set with the bands. (off ebay tho)

    She seems so genuine and the walks are sooooo easy to follow.

    LOVE IT :love:

    Thanks for the reviews, ladies! I got one of her DVDs awhile back, and never opened it. Dug it out last night and intend to start today (as soon as my husband gives up the basement so I can exercise in peace and privacy). I don't remember the name, but there are 5 different days on it? And the band was included. I ordered mine from Amazon. It's good to hear so many enjoy her stuff, and do get a workout from it. I need to start this exercise thing gently.
