Walking DVD

Hope you are getting a hell of a deal on that DVD! IMO it would be a waste of $$$.
Walking is not hard...
You stretch, walk desired amount of time/ distance and then stretch again.

Sorry if this seems a little rude but I am just surprised that they even sell this kind of video :noway:

I have the 1 mile, 2 mile, 3 mile and one other I cannot think of right now. They are not just walking.. you do kicks, sidesteps, knee lifts, ect, lots of arm movements and even work with weights. There is more to it than just walking in place. They are really good workouts. The people who are giving you a hard time have never seen or used these videos and do not know that they are an actual workout.

I have heard that you can watch them on YouTube for free, but I prefer the videos on tv.

I honestly wasn't trying to give them a bad time, If I could have figured out how to delete my post I would have. Kudos to OP for trying to get moving and much success to whatever route they decide to take. I know how hard and difficult this road is to take and how hard it is to stay motivated along the way.

I don't understand why some people on here have to be so rude and bash a post. Any exercise is better than none right?!?!

I am sorry you got some comments that weren't helpful. I posted yesterday a question about running and wished I had never posted it after some of the comments I got. Why can't people be supportive of everyone on here...!?!?

I have the 1 and 2 mile walk of hers and I also have the 1-5 mile walk of hers. It is a good way to get started or if you have knee problems. I use my heart monitor watch to see how much it increased with the dvds also.

Check them out on youtube before you buy any. You can pick them up at any discount store like Walmart, Target, Kmart and Sam's club. Ebay sells them cheap new too!

Good luck!

Right now on her website you can watch a 1 mile video for free. If you join her walk social club on facebook (also free) you have access to many more free full length videos. I own several I like her 5 mile Advanced Walk dvd because it is 5 different miles and you can do all of them or just 1 or 2.

I absolutely LOVE Leslie Sansone workouts! I have almost all of her workouts. She is wonderful..each workout is at your level and intensity. You cant go wrong with any of them. Some are harder or longer than others, it just depends what you are wanting.

These walking workouts are much more intense than just walking. You use many more muscles than just walking in a forward motion. There are 4 basic moves, including walking, side steps, kicking and knee up, but she also uses other steps, kick backs, mambos, boosted walking(jogging), etc... she is definately easy to follow, but not always easy in the workout..It can be as hard as you want it or maybe easier on a day when you want an easier workout... You make these workouts harder or easier yourself. By squating deeper into the side steps, or kicking higher or using your arms,. You can also add weights, stretchy bands, weighted belts or her walk belt to make the workouts more intense. I will say, that I have found that sometimes a workout that I have found easy one day another day is a lot harder. It all depends on you. Goodluck !

I love the Start Walking at Home with Leslie Sansone DVD. It's beginner/intermediate and has a 1 and 2 mile walk. Great for beginners and you will really work up a sweat. I started with this DVD when I first started to exercise because I had never really exercised before and it was a great way to transition into exercise.

Yaya I walk with her on you tube. Love it
For everyone saying walking is just walking that is true. More so when you walk outside. When you do it at home it's different because you have such a small space & it's easy to get bored with it. Leslie Sansone shows you different things to do to to keep you going at home

Do you need someone to show you how to walk? Not trying to be insulting, but is that all it is?

I'm definitely going to have start producing and selling workout videos. It's got to be like picking money up off the ground

i think they are all great.....i use 3 different ones

Don't just look, try them and see what muscles you use on her DVD.

I highly recommend Leslie Sansone DVD's. They are a great way to get a quick effective workout. I don't have to buy workout clothes or expensive equipment, just wake up, grab a water and walk with Leslie. I use the 5 mile fat burner and depending on my day I choose to do between one to three miles. I find her to be encouraging without the over the top annoying perkiness in other DVD's. I also like that I don't have to be extremely coordinated to complete the workout. I lost 50 lbs while integrating her workout DVD's two years ago. I am now working on the next 50 lbs.

^^fair enough. I'll go on YouTube right now.

Edited to add: I'm back. I watched this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRScb2l4Z4g&feature=youtube_gdata_player


Not trying to be mean, but looks like walking to me. And walking is great. It's how I got started myself. If you choose to give someone money to show you how to walk I won't judge. But please don't wait for the dvds to arrive to get started. Start walking today and when the dvds show up start the advanced walking or whatever. I just don't want anyone to use not having access to this product as an excuse but to move.

^I'm with DavPul on this. Getting in exercise is great..but...I would save your money on this.

Susan - Don't worry about what others think, their opinion is not right for everybody and it is THEIR opinion. You just do want you feel you need to do to get up and move. It's better than wasting money on a club membership and then only going once a week. So YOU GO GIRL.
