This DVD was easy to follow and didn't contain lots of complicated moves. A great way to get going for someone who has been inactive for too long! Even my husband joined me for it. The one mile workout only lasts about 20 minutes, so we are able to "walk" after we put the kids to bed!

I absolutely love the fact that now I can wak in my own home using this DVD. I love the workout so much I have purchased other walking DVD's from Leslie Sansone and I am very pleased with those as well. A "must have" for those who want an easy to follow aerobic workout that makes you feel good while you get in shape!!

This is so wonderful and simple steps to follow. It's very good for just getting started with exercise again. She gives instructions that are easy to do. The music is relaxing. (Relax and excercise in the same sentence??? It really is enjoyable music.) After one week of 3 times per week, I was able to keep up with her without having to slow down. Now, I can actually tell when I haven't excercised in a few days!

I have searched for a while for a program that I could feel comfortable with and I have found it!
It is simple to follow yet intense enough to get a good work out. She does a great job of building you up and cooling you down and not leaving you worn out! This music is a mix of hymns, praise songs and just instrumental. I would recommend this DVD to anyone! Even my mom who has server knee trouble does the one mile walk with easy and it's great! It is NOT a dance program, just a mix of walking in place, kicks, knee lifts and sidesteps, all while working the upper body as well. You won't regret this one! It doesn't require a lot of floor space and can be done in 20 minutes ( One mile) or 32 minutes ( two mile).

This DVD Walking Workout was very easy to follow with inspirational music background. The workout not only made me sweat and feel better afterwards, but also count my blessings and focus on God. So whenever you feel stressed and down, exercise with Leslie Sansone and her friends and I guarantee you WILL feel so much better. I already own a handful of her exercise DVDs and please to see the pounds melt away.

This is an excellent dvd for older people...it is composed of moves we can make...I lost an inch around the waist walking 3 times a week for a month and have bought the tape for several friends.

Leslie encourages two 70 plus seniors to walk and exercise safely in the privacy of our home. The meaured approach allows us to progress within limitation of our ages. It is fun, upbeat and creates no sense of drudgery. Her motivation skills are very supportive. Ann St. Denis

I'm not a churchy-preachy type and usually stay away from religious-themed items, but something attracted me to this DVD (the other rave reviews, maybe) and I bought it. My first Leslie Sansone purchase was a VHS version of a 2-mile walk that I got from Walkers Warehouse 6 years ago. I paid a local shop to transfer it to DVD and my mother and I (she's in her 70s) used it for years until the DVD died. Tried to get the VHS transferred again but the guy couldn't do it, so I was overjoyed to find a selection of Leslie's DVDs here on Amazon. I bought two, one of which was Walk the Walk. The other was a 3 mile which my mother used, while I stuck to Walk the Walk.

A few months ago burglars broke into our house and took my laptop - with Walk the Walk in it - and the DVD player - with the 3 mile walk nestled inside. (We rarely took them out because we used the DVDs almost every day.) I came right back on here and ordered a 4 mile and a replacement copy of... Walk the Walk.

Walk the Walk never fails to put me in a good mood. It makes me happy that I made the time to exercise, and there's the added bonus of connecting me with my spirituality. Love the upbeat versions of my favorite hymns, and I enjoy Leslie's little pep talks. Yes, she talks a lot, but I don't mind because it comes from the heart and makes me smile. Sometimes I've lapsed with the workouts, and every time I do my blood pressure starts creeping up to the hypertensive range. As soon as I get back into the discipline of these workouts - I'm talking about IMMEDIATELY - I get right back down to a healthy blood pressure and heart rate range. Combined with a sensible diet, these workouts tone the body and help me shed excess weight. Leslie, thank you for the work that you do!

The steps of the video are very easy to follow and would be appropriate for nearly any participant. I haven't done the one-mile workout, but the two-mile video (35 minutes) never goes beyond advanced beginner in difficulty or aerobic intensity. The background music is kept low. It's likely that you could do the program without realizes that it was praise music, although Leslie keeps up a fairly frequent patter of praise/encouragement. A weakness of the video is that she does not explain the stretches in the cool down section (at least not in the two-mile segment). Participants unfamiliar with these moves might not get much benefit from this section.

Leslie Sansone's "Walk the Walk" features two in-home walking workouts set to Christian music. The first workout is a one mile workout; the second workout is two miles long.

One Mile Workout

Lasting about twenty minutes, this workout is perfect for beginners, especially those new to Leslie's in-home walking programs. This workout features just Leslie and is slow-paced which is good for beginners but may be a bit too slow for those who are used to Leslie's workouts. (I return to this workout if I've been unable to exercise for awhile and need something to ease my way back in to exercising). The workout features all of Leslie's standard moves: walk in place, side steps, kicks, knee lifts, kick backs, walk forward and back. Leslie explains each move before she does it. One of the things I like about Leslie is that she makes it seem like she is talking directly to you throughout the workout. The Christian music is nice but unobtrusive, never interfering with the workout.

Two Mile Workout

Lasting about 35 minutes, this two mile workout is good for those who have mastered the one mile walk and want to try something a bit more strenuous. Featuring Leslie with two other women, this is one of her easiest two mile workouts. Again it features the usual Leslie moves: walk in place, side steps, kicks, knee lifts, kick backs, walk forward and back and nothing extra like double knee lifts that are featured in some of her other two miles walks. This is a good workout for those who are new to two mile workouts as well as for those who want to do two miles without overexerting themselves. The one major difference in this workout is that during the stretches after the workout a minister friend of Leslie speaks. His speech is inspiring and don't be surprised if you walk around saying "I love you" after doing this workout.

Long-time fans of Leslie may not find these two workouts challenging enough, but they are perfect for those who are new to in-home walking.
