Editorial Reviews

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Quickie", March 15, 2006

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.

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.
