Wonderful!!!, August 29, 2007
This review is from: Walking the Walk (w/DVD): Getting Fit with Faith (Hardcover)
First of all, the price is remarkable! The book alone is worth the price and then you get a 2 mile workout too! I found this workout to be Leslie's absolute best. The book is designed so that you read a few pages a day for 30 days. She inspires you to exercise through your faith in Christ since our bodies are God's temple and we should treat it that way. Each day has an inspirational message, un-faith-full thoughts we should identify and get rid of, scripture for thought, an activity to apply to your life and a journal page to record your progress. The DVD is easy to follow and has encouraging words throughout. It is very fun to do. The DVD has a section at the end where you get to meet the people who are exercising with Leslie. It was great and inspiring to hear their stories. I highly recommend this program!

Excellent techniques for walking to mind and body fitness, July 19, 2007
This review is from: Walking the Walk (w/DVD): Getting Fit with Faith (Hardcover)
This book is designed to help you harness the power of faith, whatever your faith may be, and use it to help you achieve your desire to lose weight, get fit, shake off health problems, and find success and meaning in every day.
The easy-to-follow 30-day program includes a DVD featuring a full walk routine to inspirational favorites, 30 days of daily walks that help readers build stamina and burn calories at a comfortable level, daily reflections on scriptural quotes that reaffirm spiritual and social commitment to physical health, weekly self-exploration tools for identifying dreams and goals and acting on them as well as Fit Facts and testimonies from some of the millions of women who have achieved success in walking off the pounds with Leslie.
Walking the Walk is an inspirational workout that not only helps you reach your goals but also inspires you in other personal ways. A journal is included for each day of the 30-day program where you can record how far you walked, if you did strength training, how the walk was, and other notes you wish to take on your experience.
Leslie's approach to weight loss is spiritual and refreshing. She provides activities and FIT FACTS for each of the 30 days to help inspire you to continue on your road to weight loss, along with a 7 day sample menu to help you get started eating right. This book will best suit those who are familiar with Leslie's technique and in need of that extra "push" that having faith provides.

Wonderful book and DVD, July 27, 2007
This review is from: Walking the Walk (w/DVD): Getting Fit with Faith (Hardcover)
I have bought each book that Leslie Sansone has written and this one is the best as it deals more with the emotional side of eating. It helps remind us that our bodies are temples of God and that we should take care of them. She also reminds us that we should not get down on ourselves when we slip and fall and God does not expect us to be perfect. The two mile DVD included inside the book is excellent as well.
