Walking

I have the Leslie Sansone's 5 mile fat burning walk.. I've been doing it every day since Monday.... it includes 2 minutes of jogging at the end of each mile... it burns a good amount of calories for me about 430-525... and my legs are starting to be sore!

I like the videos because on days I can't fit my other workouts in I still do this dvd.. but I plan on switching to anothre workout next week and only doing this dvd 1 or 2 days of the week... my body is already getting used to it

hi, ive been walking at least an hr a day for the last 2 weeks, and most days 30 mins in evening, have noticed huge difference, lost inches from thighes, cellulite hardly now visible, and 2 day have actually felt thigh muscles working, legs r def toning with all the walking

also if you want to get cardio in but can't do too much cause of your knee... Jillian Michaels does a move in 1 of her workouts... she said it's great cardio if you have a lower body injury. Just doing punches..

Never seen the DVD's but most of my weight loss (Heaviest was 245 lbs, now down to about 191 lbs) was from walking. That and eating less/better. Starting last Summer I would walk in the area of between 2.5 - 5 miles every day and have been having to do other exercises now for the winter. But for the first few months of my trying to lose weight my main exercise was walking. Try to get up to a brisk pace and it can actually be VERY good exercise

I found this article a week or so ago. I have just started the program so I don't know if it works or not but it definitely seems to have potential and changes the length of the walks and how fast you should do them which makes me think it could work. Oh! And I also have a pair of Reebok Toners that I wear when I walk and even just walking a little bit a day with them on has helped to tone my legs and butt

I love her DVD's! I have 8 of them, I do at least 3 miles every morning. It's low impact, gets my heart rate up (as per my heart rate monitor!), makes me sweat, she always puts me in a good mood. I love it.
That's all I've been doing, and it works very well! Some people like to loose weight faster with hardcore training, but I tend to quit when it's out of my fitness range, so I do the Leslie Sansone walking workouts, it's just easy to stick to. No complicated moves, just what I need.

So, yes, works for me! :-)

i actually did just walking after my first pregnancy, i would walk with my baby boy *who is now almost 4* for about 45 minutes a day, a fast brisk walk. i lost all of my baby weight that way, plus a few more pounds, and ate sensibly. this time around it hasnt been so simple though = / i am now busting my butt at the gym trying to get the weight off from my most recent pregnancy.

Hi! I don't post a whole bunch, but when I saw this topic I just had to chime in. I love the Leslie Sansone routines. I started out on the 2 mile, went up to the 4 mile super challenge and am now doing the 5 mile super fat burning every night. I really do sweat a lot with the 4 & 5 mile routines and it boosts my energy (and spirits) no matter what. I've noted a huge difference in my legs and the "flappy thighs" are shrinking. I've been at it for about 80 days, most of the time I do the DVD's but I also see the need to incorporate outdoor trails and treadmill work on incline if I want the extra burn. I do know that outdoor walking is much, much different than the indoor--including the treadmill. I did 5 miles of powerwalking outside last week and I felt like an old lady for 3 days after! Either way you look at it, 60 minutes of movement, whether it be LS indoor, treadmill or outdoor trails, you're moving that body and burning calories. I've lost 35 lbs in those 80 days and I feel great and looking to power walking to help me get to goal- 60 more lbs. to go. Good luck!
