Purchasing Leslie Sansone's Walk Aerobics 40-Plus Workout has been one of the best decisions I have made. It's refreshing and encouraging to see that those participating on the video are of different shapes and sizes, and different levels of fitness, instead of 'body beautiful'. The exercises are easy to perform and at 30-35 minutes in length the workout is not too long. Being overweight, over 50 and out of condition, I am happy to find a workout that I can actually perform comfortably and feel enervated afterwards, and now motivated to exercise daily. I have now purchased several other videos in the series. I recommend this video to anyone who is not interested or does not have the time to go to the gym, doesn't want to pound the pavements and wants an easy-to-perform exercise routine that will greatly improve one's overall fitness level, have fun and burn calories at the same time.

I bought this video to alternate with the Leslie Sansome "Two-mile Walk" video I already own. I'm middle-aged and overweight, but I found this video not only too easy, but not very interesting to use. An excercise tape has to hold up to hundreds of uses without becoming mind-numbingly boring, and this one doesn't cut it. But if, like me, you aren't in very good shape and not very coordinated, you'll probably like Leslie Sansome's "Two-mile Walk." It's more attractive (a mural in the background of a serene harbor gives you something to look at the zillionth time you go through the tape), and a little more fun. By showing a gauge on screen of how far you've walked by doing the tape, you also get a sense of progress and a desire to make it to the next milestone. I will definitely try other Leslie Sansome video tapes, though, because I like her friendly and encouraging screen presence very much, and appreciate the way she gives advance warning when she changes steps.

This is a great tape especially for the non dancey types. It is perfect for beginners. For those on an intermediate or even advanced levels, it is WONDERFUL for those off days when you don't want to do a very difficult workout. It is not only for 40+ but for anyone. It is effective and helped me lose the last 15 pounds. It is an EXCELLENT buy.

This is a great exercise video. Very easy to follow, but yet a good workout. I enjoy it every time. It has gotten me back into exercise videos because I can actually do it and feel like I'm getting a good workout. In fact, I have ordered two more of Leslie's videos so I can alternate. I definitely recommend this one.

This is one of my favorite of Leslie's exercise videos and I have quite a few. I was a little skeptical because of the name (40+ workout); I thought it might be easier or slower, but I was wrong. It moves at a good pace (not too fast though) to get the heart pumping and is a lot of fun to do. Leslie is her usual chipper self, laughing and kidding the group. I probably do this one (and the Miracle Mile another favorite but shorter one) more than any of the others. If this one ever wore out I would definitely have to replace it.

I was surprised that someone my age (63) and overweight could keep up. This workout brings up your heartrate at a comfortable pace and the steps are VERY easy to follow. Plus it's fun! I'd recommend it to anyone, especially if you are discouraged by the complexity or pace set in other tapes. You get a great workout regardless of your level of endurance.

I've been using Leslie's 1,2,3 Super Fat Burning Video for a few months now and decided to give this one a try for a change of pace. I'm only 23, but do have a lot of extra weight to lose and I would recommend this video to anyone starting out.

If you are very uncoordinated like I am, this video is perfect for you, because it's just a few basic moves combined with marching in place (walking). It's short, very easy to follow, and Leslie keeps you motivated through out the whole video.

If you are at an advanced fitness level than I would skip over this tape though and try one of her other ones instead. I've only been working out a few months now and find this to be a little too easy for me. I really only use it when i'm feeling a little lazy, but don't want to skip my work out all together. If you are new to exercising and are looking for a place to start though, this is your video.

I bought this video based on the "glowing" reviews of others. I'm glad I did! Leslie is very encouraging throughout the video (which is something those of us who are over weight need). Her "you can do it" attitude and "just keep moving" encouragement make the time go fast. There are no fancy steps to learn and you can get the workout the first time you watch it! This is finally an exericise video I will use for a long time to come! I've ordered more of Leslie's videos and can't wait to get home and "walk" my way to fitness!

I have been a power walker for 5 years. In the winter there is the treadmill. This is much better. The contents of this viedeo are organized so as to take you up to your exercise pulse rate, hold it there for twenty minutes, then cool down and stretch. This is done with low impact walking exercises. I am amaized at how good I feel after the work out, through to the next day.

I am 46 and bought this video years ago, but only since Jan. have used it everyday since..Yes, as some other reviewers say, Leslie does get off on the wrong foot, but she is so totally REAL, not like some of these others that are so false..She is ditzey and fun..It DOES get repetitious, but then I let my mind roam as I do whats best for me..combining this tape and Weight Watchers diet, I have now lost 65 pounds..I will continue to march along with Leslie, she's the greatest!
