clearing up misconceptions 3/4 mi express, January 27, 2008
This review is from: Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds - Express - Miles 3 & 4 with Stretchie (DVD)
Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds - Express - Miles 3 & 4 with StretchieI'm writing this review because of the reviews connected with this item are expremely misleading. I think the reviews for other Leslie Sansone 3 mile DVDs got mixed up with this one.
This DVD contains two complete exercise routines, one 3 mile and one 4 mile. The 3 mile uses the stretchy band during the third mile for strength training. There are six exercises using the band which strenthens the arms (including triceps), shoulders, chest and back. The second walk is the 4 mile and it does not use the stretchy or any weights, it is aerobic walk, not a strenthening one. If the other reviews had told me this, I could have saved money. Since I exercise six days a week and you're not supposed to strength train the same muscles every day, I also brought a 3 mile DVD without strength training. I could have saved the money and just done the first three miles of the 4 mile walk. BTW, some reviewers have commented about not having a warm up or cool down when you do a shorter walk. If you want a shorter walk, start at the beginning so you'll have the warm up included, do the one or two mile section and then use the "next" button on your DVD remote to jump to the cool down stretching section. On this DVD, the miles are not divided into DVD "chapters but there is a chapter division right before the stretching, so just use the "next" button to jump to the stretching after you finish walking.
One of the misleading reviews kept talking about a "Mary Kay" I had no clue who she was from this DVD. "Mary Kay" is not on this DVD, so disregard any review that mentions her. I hope this helps.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO TRY THIS!!!, February 24, 2009
This review is from: Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds - Express - Miles 3 & 4 with Stretchie (DVD)
I now have 11 of Leslie Sansone's videos and I love every one of them. She often states that her workouts are not for sissies and that is very true but REALLY anyone can do them. You just set your own pace.I started working out with Leslie's videos on April 1st, 2008. I weighed 240 lbs. It is now February 24th, 2009 and I am happy...no thrilled to tell you that I have walked away 83 lbs!!! I went from 2X to size 12. My goal is to lose 100 lbs and I know I will get there. When I started out I could barely get to the end of the 3 mile video. I'm up to 5 miles now and I love it! I'm hooked! What a great thing to be addicted to...excerize!!! Now here's the best part....I'm 62..I'll be 63 in just a few days and the young girls who work out with me can't keep up!!! Please do yourself a huge favor and get started walking away the pounds today. Or just do it to be healthier. Either way, you come out a winner!!!

Great Workout, October 2, 2007
This review is from: Leslie Sansone - Walk Away the Pounds - Express - Miles 3 & 4 with Stretchie (DVD)
This DVD gave me a great workout. I have a lot of Leslie's DVD's and I like this one so far the best. My daugther, who is very athletic, thought it was great too. There was just enough work with the stretchie band. Anymore and my arms would have fallen off!! I would recommend this to anyone.
