Hi All,

I've just finished my first week on this site and I'm loving it so far. I've finally adjusting to my reduced calorie intake and I'm feeling good. I think I'm ready to add in a regular exercise routine. I'm so out of shape right now and have been afraid to get started since I'm out of breath just climbing up the stairs, but I'm determined and motivated! I just ordered the Leslie Sansone Walk Slim - Fast Start with the 1, 2, and 3 mile workouts. I can't wait for the dvd to get here. Is anyone else doing them? Any fans of Leslie Sansone on here? Reviews? I'm hoping to feel a major difference in my stamina after a month of walking with her 4-5 days a week.

    I too have just finished my first week using this site and lost 7 pounds. Using the new calorie counting method as allowed me to be more aware of what I eat as well as how much I eat. I would encourage you to start slow. I'm not a gym fan so I jog around my neighborhood. In doing this I am able to set land marks and push myself to reach those before stopping. I notice everyday I would push myself and set fewer land marks to stop at. This week I challenge myself to run 1 mile non stop. Wish me luck and I will you well also. Just start slow and make sure to stay committed to your routine.

    Leslie Sansones work outs are great! She has many different ones out now that include some sort of equipment to use as well and the run about $15. I have at least 5 different dvds. Another favorite is the one called Walk at Home. It has five different work outs - you can do one each day or as many as you want. They really work you out. Let me know how you are enjoying the DVD you got. I have had 3 knee surgeries so I am limited in the exercise department these are something I can do with minimum trouble. Good Luck with your journey!!

    Hi! Yes, I have used the Leslie Sansone walking program in the past and it definitely works. When I first started, the 1 mile was all I could do but fairly quickly moved up to the 2 mile. You will be surprised how fast you build up stamina! But take your time and if you have to, use the 1 mile program twice a day - it's shorter in duration - so doing it twice is easier and still great exercise.
    Good luck! Be confident! You can do it.

    There is a group on the message boards for walking. A lot of us do the Leslie Sansone WATP workouts. Some walk on the treadmill or outside and some mix it up. You set your own goal so it's good for beginners or more advanced. Lots of support and fun. Here's a link if anyone is interested in joining us. It's listed as the SWaT Team Challenge Month 2.

    Just wanted to add that the only exercises I have done, since I started working out in March, have been the WATP workouts. I have quite an assortment to keep me from getting bored.

    I usually use the walking - brisk pace 4.0 miles per hour as most of her workouts are about 15 minutes per mile. Some are even a little faster. Some people use the low-impact aerobics but I noticed the calories burned worked out exactly the same so I just use the walking one.
