4.0 out of 5 stars Great tapes, but NOT NEW; same ones as 2001 release!, December 28, 2002

This review is from: Leslie Sansone - Walk Away The Pounds For Abs w/belt (3 Pack) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Please note "Video Release Date: December 3, 2002"--I don't know why it says this is the release date, or why the cover shots show Leslie in different outfits than on the tapes released in 2001, but these are the same videos as released earlier and NOT a new set in the series. The tapes themselves are great, especially for those not in the greatest shape but who are willing to work! The ab belt really does increase the intensity of the workout and the amount it makes me sweat, too, although it's prone to snapping if you pull too hard or too suddenly. While the belt didn't seem to decrease my waistline all that much, I did tighten up my upper abdomen just below the bustline. In turn, my posture is better, I've been told I look taller--and thereby, thinner! My button-front blouses fit better, too. My endurance is greater for walking, in general, and I've especially noticed a difference in taking the stairs, much less wheezing after the 4 flights to my office!

The only reason I knocked this down to 4 stars is that I felt as if the distributor is deliberately trying to misrepresent the tapes as being new ones, since, as I said, their release date is listed as December 2002 and the videotape cover shots show Leslie Sansone in different exercise outfits than on the tapes I bought earlier, but the tapes--and I checked all 3 of them to be certain--are the exact same ones that were released earlier (in 2001 I think, at least that's when I bought my 1st set of these). I felt cheated, since they appeared to be new versions--which I really looked forward to! I hope Leslie puts out a new set soon to give some variety to those of us who really like working with the belt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tapes, February 23, 2003

This review is from: Leslie Sansone - Walk Away The Pounds For Abs w/belt (3 Pack) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I got this set as a gift and started as part of my New Year's resolution. I have lots of other exercise tapes BUT I use this set. It is hard to get started on a lot of exercise tapes but this set is different. The moves aren't so hard that you never feel like doing the tape again. I have started other tapes and got a few minutes into the tape only to say this is too hard. This is good for people of varying levels of fitness. If you aren't in good shape, you start with the 1 mile and do what you can and build up your endurance. If you are in pretty good shape then you use the 2 & 3 mile tapes most of the time. I have recommended these tapes to friends and would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to lose weight and improve their body. I have lost 12 pounds in 7 weeks by using these tapes and trying to improve my eating habits. The exercise belt really gives a good upper body & ab workout.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great workout...., February 1, 2003

I have been a fan of Leslie Sansone's workout tapes for
some time. I especially like this set. The pacing of the
exercise is faster than her "Walk Away the Pounds" tapes from
a year or so ago. Even though the workout is the same length
it feels like you are done faster. These tapes have a greater
focus on the exercises and less of Leslie's patter that
I know others have found anoying on other tapes. The exercise
belt that is included is a fine tool. On occasion I substitute
her weighted balls because I think that they work the arms better
than the bands on the belt. I highly recommend these tapes to
anybody who is just starting out on a fitness regime, people
who are not good at mastering difficult choreography, and anybody
that finds workout tapes intimidating. Leslie is a very likeable
easy instructor to follow and the other participants on the
tape have a variety of body types. There are no spandex princesses on this tape.
