Beware-Yet Another Repackaged Previously Released DVD,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leslie Sansone: Walk Off 10 Pounds (DVD)
Once again Leslie Sansone has reissued another one of her previously released DVD's in new packaging. This is the third or fourth time I have encountered this in the last year. This was originally released as part of the "Target" store series "Walk Your Way Thin". The only difference was the Target DVD came with a pedometer. So some of you may already have this in your collection.If you do not have this particular program I will tell you that this is one of her fairly plain vanilla "Walk Away the Pounds" exercise programs. It is includes the four "basic" moves: walking in place, side-steps, kicks and knee lifts with some variations such as kick-back, double side step etc. Nothing really new. There were a few new variations on some of these moves. I was disappointed that there was no time clock and no boosted walking. If you have several of her more recent DVD's from the last couple of years you may not need this. If you are like me I have quite a number of her programs because watching the same ones over and over can get monotonous. This would also be a good program for someone new to "Walk Away the Pounds".

Walk Off 10 Pounds one of 6 new releases in 2008,
This review is from: Leslie Sansone: Walk Off 10 Pounds (DVD)
I was so excited to find a new video from my favorite instructor only to get it and realize it was simply repackaged without the pedometor. I wasnt thrilled with the first release now i have two - I wish they would stop doing or at least let us know it is repackaged. It is becoming more and more common and not just with Walk At Home - I have had this happen with other instructors too. So disappointing.

Have an Excuse-Free Day!,
This 3 Mile DVD is apart of her Walk Your Way Slim Series available from Target.com and is well worth the investment! I literally just finished this DVD and am so extremely glad that I purchased this along with 3 others from the 6-Kit Series. In fact, I think I am going to purchase the remaining 2 kits as this makes the 3rd one that I love!Walk Off 10 Pounds is like I said a 3 Mile DVD done at an Intermediate to Advanced pace. There isn't any boosted walking (jogging) in this workout, but the pace is faster and you do some powerful movements. One of the things that I have noticed with several of her newer releases in 2009 is that she does a move called Power Kicks. These are done at a vigorous intensity and are bwt low and high impact. You barely leave the ground, but you kick fast and high. You will do grapevines, 4 counts walking up and back several times, some with a kick sequence thrown in with them, side steps with taps and heels, ect. The variety is here so it is a little more than the Basic 4. 3 Mile Slim & Sleek still has the newer "moves" but this still gives you easy choreography without the same ol', same ol'. If you have other Kits from this Series or the Burn Body Fat Series, you will notice that much of the music is the same, however not all songs are repeated within 4 kits that I have, not sure about all 6 at this point. You will find a solid cool down of about 2 minutes perhaps a little more and a nice stretch. The set is black but she has those Stability Balls on the set with her and they are colored coordinated to her wardrobe: Yellow, Black, and Charcoal. You will occasionally be able to see outside and there is snow on the ground; fun for me as I was looking in my own backyard with snow. I thought that was cute. I word of caution: in the first Mile there are a couple of cueing flubs. I'm used to walking with her I don't notice them too often anymore. 1 mistake is she said to do knee lifts but does kicks instead. She catches herself at the end of the kicks and apologizes for the mistake. I didn't even notice it myself until she pointed it out. The second mishap is she instructors you to do side steps then goes automatically into a double side step. Again no biggie and she giggles about it. You can't help but smile. Those are the things that keep you on your toes and add a little laughter into your day! Why get upset when you could just smile and go with the flow? Because of the pace more so than the cueing, I would tell beginners to try her 2 Mile DVDs first or to get her Walk Off Even More Weight Kit which offers 2-2 Mile Walks; a Classic and a Faster Paced walk. Those will get you up to the speed and endurance that you will need for her 3+ Mile DVDs. You could go right into her 3 Milers, but it may be too advanced to begin with. This DVD like her recent ones allow you to pick the Chapter you wish. You can choose Mile 1, Mile 2, or Mile 3. You though cannot customize the DVDs and you have to fast forward/rewind to get to the warm up and cool down sections if you did not choose the first or 3rd miles. What's included in this kit? DVD, Purple Pedometer, and a 14 Day Meal Plan. In the DVD Leslie instructs you to eat the meals in the plan that you like! Customize it to fit your needs! She reminds us that we can still eat the foods that we love and lose weight; it's just watching portions and making better choices most of the time. She goes on to say that she doesn't like a lot of "rules" as we know what does or doesn't feel right. What I loved most about this DVD was its Positive Message and overall tone! She tells you to "Have and Excuse-Free Day"! That you have the choice to improve your life! If you are able to get out of bed she says, then you are already healthy. Movement improves your health, mood, physical and spiritual fitness! She also reminds you to forget and let go of the negativity in your life; let go of the negativity that people share. Forgive than, let go, and move on. They don't know what they are doing so no need to be upset or set back by other's negativity. I think an equally moving and important message is that even just losing 5 pounds makes a difference in how you feel. That you don't need to rush yourself and overwhelm yourself with huge weight loss goals, just take it one step a time; 5 pounds at a time. It doesn't matter how long it takes, just make better choices for your health and you will reap the rewards! Absolutely a wonderful walking workout! I have truly become a total fan of the Leslie-Only, non-walk leader Workouts. She's able to give you calm direction and coaching as she puts it. It's true! I feel fabulous not only because of the workout, but because of her positive and motivating words!! This is a DVD to own! Great message, great pace, great advice, warm, caring instructor, and positive well being!
