This video is excellent for anyone who hates to exercise. I have never been successful with exercise plans, but I am very motivated with this video. It's 20 min. of an intense but easy to follow routine. I feel really good about myself, and I'm going to order other tapes by Leslie, too. She's a great motivator!

This workout is great for the winter months when you can't get out because of foul weather. It is also good for beginners who need to start slowly. To increase the workout, she uses hand weights. She shows you ways to increase the "burn" for those who wish to get more out of the exercising. Its a good exercise video for anyone, but I think for those advanced you may be disapointed in how short and simple it is. The one thing I loved about the video is the fact that I don't need a lot of room! I was able to excercise to the video in about a 4 ft x 4 ft area! You truely can even utilize the video if you only have the floor space for your own marching feet! The video can be adapted well for beginners or advanced, and if you have a lot of room or none at all. I recommend it highly!

The entire video is about 45 minutes long. The first 20-25 minutes is Leslie's workout. It's short, but intense because she recommends using hand weights. Leslie is working out in the living room of her home with no other students there. Later she & her sister, a nutritionist with a Ph.D., give explain the Harris-Benedict Equation. This is used to calculate your daily calories needs according to your height, weight, age & activity level. Finally, we get a recipe for pizza. All in all, it's a great video. Leslie keeps exercising simple and easy to follow, yet effective & fun!

I use Leslie Sansone's In-Home Walking at least twice a week. I really do enjoy it, but need to beef it up just a little and I also get a little bored with the same tape over and over. I think she is really good. I like it that she shows you the steps before the exercise program starts and that she makes it easy for you to follow.I have been using her tape for over two months now and I just want to get something a little different. I have no problem with ordering another one of her tapes, in fact that is what I am trying to do.

A must-own exercise video, in this Leslie takes you on a 25 minute intense aerobics workout. Using only basic exercise moves (kicking, side-stepping, kick backs and knee lifts, mostly), Sansone gets you out of your seat with fast-paced music, inspirational words for dieters and overly enthusiastic comments on how well you're doing. In all fairness, nothing has helped me more than this video. I've been using this (varied with a twenty minute audio cassette also by Leslie- great for traveling) three times a week for two years. I lost the ten pounds I wanted to and haven't gained an ounce back since, WITH NO DIET CHANGES!

The short duration of the tape is also encouraging, unlike a Richard Simmons (or most other similar workout tapes), you're not dancing your buns off for upwards of an hour, it's just 25 minutes!

A must-own way for getting a healthy, non-obsessive workout without leaving your living room.

As someone who has not exercised in a bit and needs a nice way to get started, this video works well. I alternate it with another by Leslie for balance. She starts off by going through the basic steps, gets into the workout, gradually adds weights and then gives a cool-down. If you go to the gym regularly, this may be a little light for you.

I've been using Leslie's first tape, WalkAerobics and decided to buy this one to go along with it. It's excellent! As I expected, Leslie is encouraging and fun throughout the entire work-out; the steps are simple, yet intense and powerful. Using both the WalkAerobics tape with the In-home Walking, on alternate nights, I lost 3-1/2 pounds in my first week! At the end of this video, Leslie's sister, a nutritionist, joins Leslie to help with meal planning. Very informative and helpful when you're on a weight loss program. Highly recommended video for experienced and beginning aerobics exercising.

I enjoyed this workout very much. It's only 20 minutes long and seems to fly by, which is nice when you have a limited amount of free time. Leslie is pleasant to listen to and is a great motivator.

I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the video tape itself, though. It was staticky and a bit hard on the eyes near the end of the workout (this was the tape itself, though, not the workout) and this was only on the first viewing.

I would highly recommend this tape to anyone that is just starting to exercise or has never exercised. It is so easy to do and follow. I have had knee surgery, and cannot do to much twisting or jumping, and this tape is just what I have been looking for. I will certainly purchase more of Leslie's tapes in the future.

Leslie does it all with this one! This is not only a great aerobic work out but is fantastic for firming and slimming the hips and thighs!!! The music is uplifting and there isn't a hard step in it!!!
