Customer Reviews

Great addition to Leslie's walking program
I own three of Leslie's other walking DVDs and this one adds variety. I've never done any kick-boxing before, so for me this DVD is challenging enough and lots of fun. Half of the time she has you do the familiar leg lifts, knee lifts, kicks, and walking. The other half is devoted to basic kick-boxing moves. If you are new to Leslie Sansone, you might want to start off with her 2 Mile Walk Away the Pounds DVD, and then try this one. Thanks Leslie, for another great DVD!

One of her best....
Leslie's new video walk/kick was a lot of fun. I have had my copy for a while now and finally got around to doing the video. I had a blast. She has four of her walk leaders walking with her and she make her little flubs as usual but if she didn't then it wouldn't be a Leslie Sansone video! You still the enthusiasm that you get in all her videos. You will do four stints of power walking and then slow it down for four kick boxing stints. Her moves are easy to follow but if you would like to try her basic moves before adding in new moves then try her original Walk Away the Pounds (WATP) they are her best videos and they introduce you to the moves. Yet, this one is right under those in terms of being fun. I didn't even realized that 33 minutes were up so fast. It was just a great video. Definitely recommended if you have done WATP's in the past and enjoyed them or didn't feel they were enough of a challenge/your stuck in a rut try this one out as it can help push you over that plateau; it uses different moves to help your body use new muscles.

**If still to easy you need to exaggerate more or add arms even when she doesn't you should at least break a sweat.**

Leslie pulls off another great DVD!
This was part of my second set of Walk Away the Pounds DVDs. I previously bought her 2001 1, 2, and 3 mile DVD walks. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this to WATP beginners, or those who are very inactive. I didn't realize how out of shape I was until my first set by her started kicking(or walking really) me back into shape. I bought this DVD looking for something a little more intense, a little more challenging, a little different, but also not as long as some of her more intense workouts. I consider myself an intermediate walker.

This workout is approximately 30 minutes long and consists of her four basic moves: walking, side steps, knee lifts, and kicks. It also includes some kick backs (my favorite! love that stretch), double side steps, mini squats, and her kicking intervals. It begins with the warm-up, than goes smoothly into a very fast walk. She has 4 other walkers with her, who she occasionally talks to but the only chatting in this video is from herself. I enjoyed the music on this DVD especially; it is modern, with a kind of a techno-dance beat and really kept me going and involved in the walking intervals. The kicking intervals are meant to simulate the basic movements of kickboxing. I liked them as they kept the intensity up, used kickboxing moves, but without the complexity and impossible coordination typically involved in other workouts (like Tae Bo). She goes through 4 kicking intervals and after a few times through it they really fly by, it was the more intense walking periods (especially the bit with the double knee lifts) that really got my heart pumping.

I recommend this DVD to those who are already in fairly good shape and looking to get into one of Leslie's workouts, or those familiar with WATP and looking for a step up. What I like the most about all her workouts is you can really bring it up or down to your intensity level, and this video is no exception. I look forward to doing it every time.
