I've been walking at home with Leslie Sansone for a few weeks already and have not gain any weight and my belly is a little bit flat but I wonder if this type of exercise can really help me loose my overweight.

    I have tried the DVDs and like them. So I bought them for my mom, all she likes to do is walk. She has successfully lost weight.

    She has a variety of DVDs try the ones with the bands or weights for extra burn.

    I'm not sure what that program is, but any form of exercise, along with healthy eating, will help you lose weight. If walking is all that you can physically do at this point then do that, just trying to increase it as you go on. The more weight you lose and the more fit you get the more you'll be able to do!

    I love them! I would say that any time you're moving more than you're not ...it's going to help you lose...
    I've been tracking the mile and burn around 115 calories for my size in 20 mins.

    I lost some of my baby weight with Leslie's walk video plus a healthy diet. Still have weight to loose but I'm slowly getting there.

    I think I probably have all her dvd's however I lost weight but i do a variety of exercises. I have to say some of her dvds are truly a workout. I love Leslie!

    I used her videos the last time I lost weight. I just recently started again and I enjoy it. Her websites says you burn about 100 calories per mile and 125 with booster (jogging at the end of each mile).
    I think its an effective workout that you can do anytime.

    I am using Leslie Sansone's "5 Really Big Miles" dvd.
    I wear a Polar heart rate monitor and so I know it definitely keeps my heart rate in the target zone.
    By the time I am done with five miles, I am sweaty and out of breath and have burned over 1000 calories according to my heart rate monitor, weight, height, age.... etc.

    Wednesday will make two weeks that I have been doing her workout. I have lost 3 pounds.

    I thank God for Leslie!! At nearly 300 pounds, her workouts were a starting point for me when I could barely make it through a 2o minute 1 mile workout. n time I was able to to do more and more and eventually made it to the 5 mile workouts!! I lost a lot of weight with her workouts and eating between 1200-1400 calories a day. The benefit for me was the cardio conditioning I got from the workouts and I have lost 114 pounds in a year. :smile: :drinker:

    Good luck to you!!

    Well I have always been big...but I was bigger my 8th grade year...I did the Leslie Sansone "walk away the pounds" VHS and i was losing 5-6 pounds a week (with a normal diet..just healthy food..no calorie restrictions). but i went back to my normal habits sadly..but its okay because now i am dedicated and motivated. I started Insanity yesterday and its amazing:)

    Years ago I lost like 30 pounds on Leslie. I have several Leslie DVDs, so I can't remember which one, I think it was walk away the abs. I have recently rededicated my mornings to Leslie after being on a steroid regimen that can put weight on you SO fast. Now when I walk, to do it with 3 lbs hand weights and leg weights, for an extra boost. I also jog the entire boosted walk. I'm trying to get used to it again so I can add Insanity to the mix.

    Good luck with Leslie, she really can walk off the pounds!

    I use her videos all the time. My favorite one is the 5 mile power walk - it's broken down into 5 one mile segments. She keeps the pace at a 12 minute mile in this one and the last two minutes of each mile she 'boosts' it up.

    A little jogging.

    She's so positive. The steps are easy to follow. Any movement is good movement.

    I'm still trying to lose - and I do varied exercises - so I can't say that it the sole reason for my weight loss but I know it's adding to it.

    Good Luck.
