 20 Minute Power WalkApr 20, 2005
By Rebecca Johnson
"The Rebecca Review"
There is always time for a healthy body. ~Leslie Sansone
In the time it takes to fold laundry you could have walked a mile. In fact, I often fold laundry at the start of this workout because all you are doing is walking and you can very easily walk in place and fold towels all at the same time. Later in the workout Leslie presents creative challenges by using hand weights for use while moving your arms in circles. The weights are used to shape the upper body while you keep walking and toning the lower body.
If you have 20 minutes, you can walk your way to a new body 20 minutes at a time. Although, I mostly like to use this workout when I'm warming up for Yoga or Pilates. The energetic pace warms your body and the cool-down section and very brief stretching makes this perfect for a "before-other-workouts" walk.
Leslie doesn't specialize in complex dance steps, nor does she encourage you to push yourself too hard. Her casual, yet motivational approach helps you get into exercising and stick with a fitness program. She keeps the steps simple with moving side to side or
just walking in place, lifting one knee at a time or kicking straight out in front of you. I think the point with her workouts is to get your body moving. If you are looking for complex and challenging footwork, you won't find it here.
If you add this workout to one of Leslie's Pilates or Yoga workouts you can extend your calorie burning to an hour or more. Looking for more of a challenge? The 3-mile walk is still my all-time favorite. I love the Leslie workouts because she puts me in a good mood and all her workouts are very positive.

 "Quickie"Mar 16, 2006
By Flower Girl
As many of the other reviewers have said, this walk-workout is short; only about 20 minutes from warm up through cool down. However, I think that is one of it's best features.
I do this one as a warm up or a follow-up to other workouts. This is particularly nice after doing yoga or pilates. It's a super quick arms/legs/cardio workout that you can squeeze in anywhere in your day. If you want to keep it going you can go back to the beginning and do it again.
I first got this from Netflix to make sure I liked it and would use it, but have now bought a copy.

Excellent StarterSep 03, 2005
By Nicki M.
I am well over 50 and haven't been exercising for a while. This DVD was an excellent starting point. It was just long enough (about 20 minutes) to get the blood pumping without feeling like I was having a coronary.

NO LITTLE TIME TO EXERCISEJan 19, 2005
By Jean H. Millburg
"catmom2"
I like this video for the reason that it gets you to start an exercise program if you cannot make the time in your busy schedule and around your families sports activities. I like this exercise video because she has you start out with a warm-up slow walk and then increases the speed of having you walk a little more intense. In the mean time she works with her walk-away the pounds water weights which also you can purchase them at a Amazon or Target stores. She does some good upper back exercises,arm curls, arm circles with the weights while you continue your increased pace walk. Also at the end she slows down the walk again for cool down along with some stretching exercises. I feel I get my 2-mile walk in this one mile. I feel that I am toning more muscles by using the weights and the increased paced walk. I have Leslie's complete walk away the belt set and the one mile was too easy! Sometimes it is nice to have a quick workout on hand that you feel is doing some benefit rather than not doing a workout at all if you are a busy person. If you really want to be on a faster weight loss program, I highly recommend her 3 or 4 mile walk-away the pounds DVD's when you can make the time to do so or have worked your self up to doing a longer workout. This one does get you motiviated to start an exercise program with out an excuse that you do not have time or it's too hard!

Great for getting back into exercisingFeb 02, 2006
By Book Reader
I'm over 50 and haven't exercised in quite a while. I've always put off exercising because I'd get winded, and bored easily. This program does not take much time, and it's over before you know it. I feel terrific afterwards!
The first time I did it I felt aching in my hip joints. (Probably because of lack of exercise and the extra 30 pounds I'm carrying.) By the third time the aches where gone and I had a lot more energy.
If you're like me and typically lose interest in exercising about half way through, try this. It's over before you can start thinking "Gee, I think I'll just sit down and read that magazine, I've done enough for today"
