Yes, about 15 lbs. gone with her videos. Love it!! (Although her voice is kind of annoying.) :laugh:

I love them, I can't say I have had success with them because I use them sporadically...I am having success over all but I am not using her dvd's exclusively. Still, she is very good!!!

what if you only have about 10 pounds to lose

empowerme12

I was wondering about this also. I did her 4 mile walk and burned a about 400 calories.

You get out what you put in. Just like if you're going to an aerobics class but barely moving.

I do think they are better for a starting fitness point. I feel like the treadmill is working better for me, so I gave my DVD's to my sister, who is just starting her fitness journey.

tidesong

I love them for the days I can't get to the gym. I don't use them solely, so I can't tell you how much success I've had. But I feel I get a decent aerobic workout when I do the videos...but I also push myself and do bigger movements, add arms even when she doesn't, etc.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! i credit her dvd "walk away the pounds" for my weightloss. i did 2 mile walk in am and then 1 mile in afternoon everyday. 50% of my loose skin has tightened up as well as the weight that came off. i took the summer off and now am starting back with her dvd. it worked awesome for me!

I started walking with Leslie on September 4, 2012, the exact same day that I started MFP. I lost 15 lbs the first month! I did her 5 Really Big Miles DVD. The first month I only did a total of 30 miles. This month my goal is 60 miles and I'm very close to acheiving that goal. I would have been finished already but I started doing Turbo Fire and that has me totally consumed right now...LOL!! I am going to finish out my challenge goal with Leslie this month and for November I will only be doing 5 miles with her on Wednesday's. So to answer your question: YES INDEED!!! I went from 247 to 227, All thanks to MFP and Leslie!! I can't count Turbo Fire just yet...LOL!! I just started it on Thursday of Last week. I'm going to send you an invitation to our Group!

What results are you asking about? I'm now fit enough to be able to do much harder workouts and I didn't hurt myself doing it. (low impact) That was important to me since I'm 60 years old and hadn't done any exercise in years. (I work at a desk all day and sit at a computer most of the other time)

If you do it, you'll burn calories. Some will burn more calories and some less.

What results were you asking about?

I also agree, the woman can talk!

Gramps251

You need to burn calories to lose 10 or 100 lbs. The walking will burn calories and help you become more fit. Is it a magic bullet that can be used to drop those last few lbs you feel you want to lose? I'm not sure how to answer. Yes it can be but the last few pounds can be tough, depending on your goal. Bottom line......it won't slow you down. It's just exercise and you only need about 6 feet of space to do it in.

I am doing Leslie's 2 mile or 3 mile walk on alternating days, in between my other workouts. I was having some success with the other workouts, but I really started seeing a change when I started add in in this workout. I would recommend it either on its own, or in addition to other workouts.

I started my journey in July, eating right and walking outside. Then I found my Leslie Sansone VHS (yup its that old) 3 mile walk and starting using it everyday. I would definitely say I can credit her walking videos with helping me to lose weight. I have lost a total of 40 pounds since July 1. I do other things too now, not just solely her video, but I always go back to it a couple times a week. I wear a HRM and when I do her 3 mile walk with 3lb weights I burn about 375 calories. I add in more reps with the weights usually. Personally, I was seeing very good results, when I was doing the 3 mile in the am, and then walking another 3 miles outside at night. It is quick, easy, and works. I used to listen to my ipod when I got tired of her talking. Don't you wish exercise dvds you could switch up the audio???

I am going to get her 5 mile dvd so i can do more this winter when I can't get outside. Keep with it. You will see lots of changes, I am sure.

Oddly, I don't find her voice irritating. She's upbeat, but not super cheery. I appreciate that she hasn't lied to me about how many more reps she wants me to do. When she asks for 8 more, she doesn't talk for 2 minutes and then count out the 8.

I did the full 5 Day Slim Down yesterday and I felt really worked up. I would buy more of her dvds if I can find them.

pegsum

I don't find her irritating either.

What I like about her videos is that I can always do them. When I'm tired or headachy or have a cold or otherwise "don't feel like working out" I can always "at least" do a Leslie video. They are a good workout without being super strenuous and it's good to have that option. It keeps me moving every day and takes away excuses.

I like that I can get my heart rate up and also daydream. It's almost meditational for me. My favorites are the original 1 mile, 2 mile and 3 mile (blue, pink and orange) I am of the opinion that any movement is better than none, so her videos are a life-saver for me.

Restlessme

Oh god, I'll admit it...her voice killed me sometimes and every so often I did mock her while doing the video. But I used to do the workout every morning before class and did enjoy it.

Yup, me too. "That's nice!"

Allup2Me78

Is it just a dvd and u are walking in place??

somemansdream

This was interesting for me to read. I am currently obese and using her 5 mile dvd to get some workouts in. I am using other dvds and walking outside as well though. I listen to my music with headphones on so I don't have to listen to her talking. I just like music more and it seems to go faster.
Thanks for posting this and it just makes me want to stick with it so I can get some results too.

ladyonaquest

It's a dvd. I have the 5 Really Big Miles and it's walking, squats, kicks, resistance bands and up beat!! I love it!! As a matter of fact I will be walking with her tonight. Leslie's dvd's are great for beginners and higher level fitness people. You can modify throughout the entire dvd to your fitness level.

NiSan12

I like her, although I had only had little results with her DVD's. I will still do hers when I need to do something light.

smtillman2

I lost all of my "baby" weight doing those right after I had my daughter. Worked great but I thought she was kind of annoying. I would usually turn the volume down low.

jenf235

I used her dvds years ago and lost almost 60 pounds! I now alternate between walking and her strength training dvds. I do the 5 Really big miles with the resistance band a few times a week. I notice more toning in my arms and midsection when I do them. I do the to my fullest ability and I sweat really bad when I am finished. I really like them a lot!

Laddiegirl

I've lost 24lbs and 17.5 inches mainly doing her 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk video as exercise. They're really great low impact (I have a knee issue) and if you put the effort in give a great workout! Just match your pace to hers and you'll have results!

lisa812many

I love the leslie sansone workouts since I can only do low impact. I have 12 DVDs which I rotate (many of mine are 5 mile ones now). I do 50 to 60 minutes 3 times a week and 90 minutes once or twice a week. I have lost 31 pounds so far -- good news is I am losing much of it in my waist hips and thighs (where I had much excess). I went from a size 16 to a 12; but it takes time; I am doing the slow but steady plan! Good luck!

I first used the WATP dvd at my mother's suggestion back in 2007. I started with 3 Miles and lost 30 pounds in three months.

ashdred

Is it just a dvd and u are walking in place??

most dvds are just that simple. dvd + movement in place. lol.

but i would call it a low-impact aerobic video. you do the side steps...the jog forwards and jog backs...body rocks and what not...i know we do in the "leslie sansone 5 really big miles." in that video and a couple of others, she includes a resistance band to help with some low-impact strength training. it will definitely help with building endurance for harder workouts.

in the past, i found that a lot of the time i say to hell with working out because i think if im not killing myself, i'm not making an impact. but i've found that when i work myself up, i do better.

Yuppers. I purchased just one WATP video a couple of years ago, in February. It gets cold where I live and super windy, so I thought I would give it a try inside on the days I couldn't go out. I used it instead of my outside cardio only, so instead of not in addition to. I lost 50+ pounds and I am sure it contributed to that.

This go 'round, I am using it in addition to my outside walks, later in the evening. I have the 5 day slim down one. I usually walk outside 3 mph-ish for an hour to an hour and a half, plus an hour to an hour and a half of the WATP each day, plus or minus. I often do just the first mile 4 times or the first and second mile twice each, etc. Sometimes I use 2 pound weights, one in each hand, just for extra muscle toning. I am only into the journey this time for about 5 weeks, (to lose an additional 40 lbs, maybe more, we'll see how it goes) but I am sure it is helping me once again. I've lost 13 pounds so far and my legs are getting slimmer...well, less bulky anyhow ;-) My weigh day isn't until tomorrow, so you can subtract a week from the 5, actually.

What I like about the WATP is it is instant access for me anytime I have 14 minutes spare time to sneak in a mile. There's really nothing I don't like-except it isn't outdoors. I can't speak to any of her other videos since this is the only one cheapskateme was willing to pay for.

If you're in doubt, go to WalMart and buy one to see. Give it a few weeks and make sure you do it regularly. If it works for you, awesome. if not, then you're only out $10-ish which is about the price of a big mac and super size fries these days, I think. I would be happy to be your friend on here if you think it will help.
