My favorite DVD workout, bar none., June 3, 2008
This review is from: Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds - Complete In-Home Walking System (DVD)
First of all, I must say - this is my very favorite way to work out. It's not always convenient to get out and walk, it's too expensive to join a gym, and most DVDs are too hard - or too cheesy. Okay, some may say Leslie Sansone is pretty cheesy, and that may be, but at least she is in a fun, contagious way. And the workout is so easy for those who are really out of shape and need to start slow, or there are longer walks for the more advanced. I just love the simplicity and the fun of Walk Away the Pounds. I owned the DVD with the 1 & 2 mile walks, and I just bought this set for the 3 mile and the weights...
AND NOW A WORD ON THE WEIGHTS!: Trust me, they are really not as hard or awful as some of the reviews have made out. They are not the most exciting and valuable pieces of equipment in the world, but they get the job done. As long as you're expecting what you get, which is two deflated balls in a cardboard box that you fill with water, you're golden. Here is the simplest way to get these babies ready to work out: Take the stopper out of the hole, blow into the ball until it takes on a more round shape. Turn the faucet on to a very small, slow trickle. Pinch the hole to let some air out, and let it go to breathe the slow trickle in. When it stops taking water in, pinch the hole and release it slowly again. Repeat until the ball feels full and the water is starting to overflow from the ball.
It's really very simple...just a little trial and error, but I thought some could benefit from my experience.

When this wears out... I will buy it again, February 25, 2008
This review is from: Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds - Complete In-Home Walking System (DVD)
I love this DVD! I began walking one mile per night. When I felt stronger I did the 2 mile walk. A few times I've made the 3 mile walk. I love being able to go back to one mile if I'm not up to doing more. It's so simple to do you feel like a pro right away. Don't buy this DVD for the weights, they are pretty useless. Any weights will do, or no weights at all. The arm workout makes this so intense for me and I do it without the weights. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good in home walking system.

Great except for the weights, January 25, 2008
This review is from: Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds - Complete In-Home Walking System (DVD)
I have to agree with the other two reviewers in regards to the weights included in this otherwise wonderful DVD set. I managed to fill the weights up with water but they ended up deformed looking instead of the way they look in the video. I did manage to exercise with them but I am not sure how effective they will be. The weights are an absolute rip-off but thankfully the DVD is more than worth the money. I have other Leslie Sansone videos but I don't enjoy them as much as the three workouts in this set.
All in all this is an excellent product to buy, regardless of the awful weights!
