Leslie Sansone videos

I've been using Leslie's DVD's since the beginning of December. I LOVE them! My favorite is her newest that comes with a resistance band. It's called 5 Really Big Miles. I have lost a few pounds, but more importantly right now, I'm losing inches in my waist, hips and thighs. You burn a lot more calories than regular walking because it's a whole body aerobic workout. I was taking Zumba classes but this I can do at home and not have any excuse to not go.

Do a search. There are several other Leslie Sansone threads with some great info.

p.s. She posts a monthly challenge on her blog and she has a great Facebook page.

I don't think you'll get an accurate account without a heart rate monitor.

I'm a fan. I started using one of these again to 'ease' myself back into exercise, intending to start up JM's 30DS afterwards. Well, I did that, but I think I'm going back to Leslie for a while. JM is simply too hard on my knees, plus, I was busting my butt, and not seeing any results!

With Leslie, I was definitely seeing results, both on the scale, and in inches, and best of all, it didn't hurt!. I'm getting a bit discouraged, and my knees hurt, so I'm going back to what was working for me.

My favorite vid (the only one I use, really) is an older one, ten years or so, the 3 Mile Walk with weights (part of a 1-mile, 2-mile, 3-mile set). I've seen a few of her other videos, and for myself, they are either too easy, or too 'scattered'. (She's got a few videos where there are either too many errors/miscues, or some of her walkers clearly can't stay on beat, and that may not bother some people, but it bugs the snot out of me.)

But I really like this video because it's very well organized, only a couple of minor errors, and the other walkers look like they've actually practiced the moves so they know what they're doing. Plus, it uses the weights halfway through. With that addition, I feel like I'm really getting a good aerobic workout, and I'll often continue with the arm movements even when she's just holding them. I haven't found another of her vids yet that seems to be as good of a total workout as this one is.

The only real drawback for me is that it takes a good 45 minutes, plus I stretch for a while afterward. I wish it didn't take so much time.

I log it as 45 minutes of low-impact aerobics, because I'm moving the whole time, and putting some effort into it. When I was first starting out and not giving it quite so much, I split it into 20 minutes of walking 4MPH, and 25 min of aerobics.

My mom and I used to walk with her DAILY. She works very well and it's a good work out, especially if you want to stay at home or whereever you want to do it. I bought her 3 mile walk recently and am going to start walking again. The nice thing is you dont HAVE to have the exercise belt, even though it is a nice tool during the work outs.

I love these videos very relaxing and not hard to do and they give steady results if you keep up with them. I did get bored after awhile of using them so I switched them up with 10 minute solutions dvds for variety.These videos were great for me a few weeks after I had my son by c section got in some cardio without risk of getting hurt. I still use them to this day if I don't feel like walking outside...

I own Leslie's Four Fast Miles video and love it.

Here is a post with some YouTube video links (you have to scroll down a little) so you can check it out before you buy:

i did.. i started doing them on my "ondemand" via my cable provider... after i got used to it i started going to the tracks, then started doing races and marathons! its how i worked my way up. i like her as well.

I do Leslie's videos and love them, clearly they are working for me! I've last 25 pounds on them so far, in less than a month. Of course, that is not typical results! lol.
I record it as low impact aerobics since I don't have a hrm yet.
I have ordered one though, just haven't gotten it yet.
Best of luck to you!

I love them

I love her videos and think they do work if you walk consistantly but for me i never did her videos alone. Meaning my goal was to walk 2 or 3 miles a day but I walked in addition to other workouts I was doing at the time, 30 day shred, wii zumba. Even if I was not able to do my main workout for the day I still tried to do my walking and lost around 15lbs doing that routine I had set up, but then I stopped and went back to my old habits and am just now getting back into working out but trust me when I say I will definatly be incorporating her DVDS back into my routine because for me it does work. I have a HRM that I bought at Kmart and will log it in that way but I ahve discovered that for me if I was to just put 30 or 45 minutes(depending on howmany mile I do) as a 3 mile an hour walk the calorie count is very close together. Hope this helps
