The Pounds Veteran , What was I thinking when I decided to buy this ( I wanted a different workout at the time ) . More importantly , LESLIE, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING IN PRODUCING SUCH AN AMATEURISH EFFORT ?? The music was too soft & not at all conducive for exercising to . Next there was a part in the 2 mile where the DVD suddenly skipped from walking to kickbacks for 3 seconds at a different camera angle & then skipped back to walking where Leslie was just announcing that she was going to do some kickbacks next - How confusing ( Bad Editing ) ! Even the 1 Mile DVD that came free with Leslie's Walk Away The Pounds book is better than this . In fact I recommend that even beginners & unfit people & people who have not heard of Leslie Sansone should buy the Walk Away The Pounds 1 & 2 MilesDVD instead as it is better value for money . The brighter , more colorful studio , the more enthusiastic background exercisers & the great music ( that you can actually hear) make you much more inclined to use it more often ( hence it is the Number 1 selling exercise program in amazon.com ) . Of course if you use it more often plus go on a sensible diet , you will achieve weight loss as a result like I did over 4 months . I am also maintaining my weight loss 8 months later as I still enjoy using Leslie's WATP & her other DVDs . Sorry Leslie but I am giving this Walk Diet DVD away to someone who hasn't exercised for a long time and who do not have any of your other programs . IF YOU OWN ANY OF LESLIE SANSONE'S OTHER WORKOUTS , STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE & SAVE YOUR MONEY & DISAPPOINTMENT.

I have and use almost all of Leslie's videos and this one is very disappointing. There is no chemistry between the group. The editing keeps focus on the girl with the bare hip bones showing. The video is boring. The background is blah.

I wouldn't have written a review but after reading the other reviews, I thought I would. I just did the 2 mile for the first time and I'm "glowing" as they put it. It was a pretty basic walking routine with nothing fancy but it was still a good workout! You can make it a good workout if you work hard and work to your level.

As for the actual DVD...the background isn't cheesy either, just basic. Your not doing the DVD to to look at goregous backgrounds but to get a workout`. The other people on the DVD were people just like you and me. There were a few older woman, a few younger, some overweight and some fit. She does her normal talking and that is one reason why I like her DVD's so much, she is different from the rest. There is a spot in the DVD where video messes up in the kickback area. This also isn't an online exclusive as I got it at Target.

And its my opinion that you shouldn't post a "review" here and give it 1 star if you haven't actually done the DVD. This isnt a chat place or board! I did the workout and I gave it 4 stars for the workout and that is why I'm making a review.

As much as I like Leslie Sansone, I have to give this workout a one star rating. The music was just terrible, the set was cheesy, the people working out with Lesie looked liked they would rather be somewhere else, and there was nothing motivating about the entire workout. I was very surprised with this production, since "Walk Off the Pounds" was a very good series. By comparison, "Walk Diet" was almost depressing to watch and to workout with. Leslie can do much better!

I am a proud owner of Leslie Sanson's walking videos and continue to build my video library as I use the tapes in my exercise classes at two different churches. This is the most disappointing video Leslie has produced. The music is awful, the background depressing, and there are no new moves. I like the fact that she uses people of different sizes and ages. But when I am exercising, I need good music to keep me motivated. I did notice a glitch in the tape, apparently a mistake that was not edited out. Her best yet is the Express series, and Walk The Walk. I hope her future videos will reflect that same quality. Come on Leslie! I know you can do it!!

This is typical of Leslie's 1 mile workouts incorporating the basic 4 moves she does with some arm work and a nice cool down at the end. It also had the 2 mile. I like the 1 mile tapes because I'm always short on time and the 1 miles fit into my lifestyle and I can get fit in a short amount of time. I like the fact that when you are done with your 1 mile, she does the stretches before continuing on to the 2 mile. It is nice to have the complete 1 mile and then if you choose to do the 2 mile, there is at least a break in between the 1 and 2 mile. The music wasn't bad. When you do it the 1st time, just like with any new video, you have to get your grounding of the steps but it is easy to follow as is all of Leslie's videos. It is nice to see average people in this video that are dressed in different outfits and some are really fit, like the one gal with the cut stomach and then there are some overweight doing the exercises too so that is good to see not everyone fit right off the bat. I think the other poster was too harsh on their review. I think it is a great workout from Leslie. KEEP THEM COMING LESLIE! Walk Away The Pounds has been the ONLY effective workout for me since I had back surgery 3 years ago. I can't do the jarring heavy aerobic type stuff. Thank you Leslie for the walk aerobics! They are MY FAVORITE!

I have avoided exercise for years. And I am totally out of shape. I picked up this DVD because it looked like it would be easy to begin and like something I could continue. I was not disappointed! For any out-of-shape person who has never exercised, this is the perfect starting point!

IF you're out of shape, overweight but wanting to get back into exercise mode, check Leslie's DVD out. It's not as strenuous a pace as Leslie's more challenging DVD's, but for someone like me, who's out of shape and is recovering from a leg injury it's wonderful. Leslie is engaging as always, gently encouraging you through the movements and music pace changes and before you know it, you've finished your mile. The exercises at the end for legs are also very good, provided you can lie down on the floor. Make sure you have a mat for that. Leslie does not use weights with this workout, but I've incorporated them whenever I use it and it's made the workout more challenging. If you're 21 and work out six times a week this is probably a DVD you could do in your sleep, but for people like me who are handicapped and need their cardio, it's perfect.

I was thinking of purchasing this DVD until I read the reviews; thanks for the "heads-up". I own many LS dvds and my personal favorites are the "Walk Away the Pounds" series; the "Walk Away the Pounds Express" series; and the "Walk Away the Pounds for ABs" series. Each of these three series is professionally done; however, you do still have the subtle mistakes that are typical of Leslie. Each of the previously mentioned series have a 1-mile, a 2-mile, and a 3-mile session; the "Express" also has a 4-mile session (don't be afraid to try this one...it is not harder, just longer). Happy walking!

I absolutely love this!! It's easy to follow(great for those of us who aren't coordinated or exercise very often) sometimes I also go for a walk afterwards.

Anyone can do this tape. And it's alot of fun
