 | Power Series May 3, 2005 |
I have several of Leslie Sansone walking DVDs. I hesitated in buying this 1 mile workout since it is so short, but got it to complete my Power Series.
This DVD is great! - except it is only 1 mile. Leslie - make this a 2 or 3 mile workout!! It really gets you moving and it is very upbeat. You just get cruising and bam! It's over. I don't know why they didn't just make it a 2 mile walk, then it would be 30 minutes like the other 2 DVD's in the series.
I do this DVD before doing some of the toning tapes that I own. I really, really, really wish this was a longer workout!! If so, it would be my favorite.

| 20 Minute Power Walk Apr 20, 2005 |
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.

| Great Quick Workout Apr 13, 2005 |
| I bought this and Walk and Jog. They were my first two DVD's of Leslie's, I must say that I love both of them. This workout with 3.5 lb hand weights gives you a great quick workout. I have also done the routine back to back for a wonderful two mile power walk. The addition of weights really gets your heart rate going. |

| GREAT WORKOUT, FAST AND FUN Jan 21, 2005 |
| THIS IS A GREAT ONE MILE WORKOUT. I HAVE A LOT OF LESLIE SANSONE DVDs AND TAPES AND THIS ONE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. IT'S THE FASTEST MOVING ONE MILE WORKOUT YET. IT IS SIMILAR TO THE MUSCLE MILE ONE MILE TAPE BUT IT MOVES A LOT FASTER. THE MOVES ARE VERY SIMPLE TO FOLLOW AND THE USE OF WEIGHTS ARE BENEFICIAL. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT. |

| NO LITTLE TIME TO EXERCISE Jan 19, 2005 |
| 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 this site 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! |
