A great cardio workout that just flies by!!, January 12, 2002
Ive only done this tape twice, but I can already say I love it. Ive only just recently heard of Sansone's "indoor walking" and was interested because the snow and ice keep me from taking my baby on walks. Yes, Leslie is very chipper and excited, but it doesnt bother me. The people on this tape are REAL people..all shapes and sizes. Old, young, heavy, and fit. There is a lot of chatter, but it sorta keeps things from getting dull. If you ever get sick of hearing the chatter, just turn the volume on mute and play your own music. The tape starts with a warm up and learning the four basic (EASY) steps of indoor walking. Then you start your 2 mile walk with basic upper body exercises and small weight work thrown in...very easy. It starts slow, then the intensity level does go up until you are sweating and then the cool down begins to ease those muscles. The meter at the bottom of the screen tracks how "far" you've walked. At the end of the half hour, you actually feel as if you walked 2 miles, but had the benefit of doing upper body work as well. This tape is easy and effective. I recommend it to anyone - regular exercisers and new exercisers alike.

Love That Leslie, January 4, 2002
When I first bought a Leslie Sansone tape, I was skeptical that walking inside my own home could get my heartrate up enough. I am 29 years old and in good aerobic shape. Her tapes really do get my breathing and sweating! I really enjoyed this video. Leslie has REAL people in her videos, not ultra-fit models and I find that encouraging. She has people, throughout the workout, demonstrate modifications that may be done if you're not yet capable of exerting as much energy. This video is only 30 minutes long (covers a 2 mile walk) and by the time I want to quit exercising, this video is nearly over. Leslie is charming and enthusiastic (although, I get tired of hearing her repeat the same phrase over and over). This is truly an excellent, non-strenous workout that leaves me feeling that I HAVE worked out.

Great workout for losing weight!!, May 18, 2004
By A Customer
I love this video! When I started using this video, about 8 months ago, I weighed in at a whopping 263 pounds and i'm about 5'4. My doctor said I needed to lose weight because I was at a high risk of certain diseases. So, I decided to try this Leslie Sansone's video. I started on her one mile walk and then gradually switched to the 2 mile walk. Well, so far I've lost 60 pounds! And I'm not done yet!If your extremely overweight or a beginner, I do suggest starting on one of her one mile walks first, that way you can get use to exercising. Her video's are very easy too do, but they do get you sweating and breathing hard. I recommend them to all my family and friends!!
