Walk the Walk - 3 DVD Set

Summary: This is a great work-out!
Review: The Walk series are absolutely fantastic! I've been a walker for many years, going about 4 miles a day three to four times a week plus. This is great when the weather is bad and the treadmill gets way too boring. Leslie keeps you motivated and makes the workout fun! I also have asthma and have no problems doing this workout, where I have difficulty with any aerobic type routines! Great if you're just starting out or if you exercise regularly!

Summary: Great Videos!
Review: These are older videos, but some of leslie's best. If you are looking for a great totally low impact workout that's easy to follow you couldn't go wrong with these.

Summary: This is NOT Walk Away The Pounds!
Review: These videos have been re-released by Leslie's old distributor. They are NOT Walk Away The Pounds, nor are they her new "Walk The Walk" series. It just seems to be an attempt for the old distributor to cash in on the popularity of the new Walk Away The Pounds videos.

Summary: Older Walking Workout Set with Leslie
Review: This 3-DVD set includes:
- Miracle Mile DVD
- 2-Mile Walk
- 4-Mile Weight Loss Walk

If you are a veteran of the Walk Away The Pounds walking program, you will have no problem completing these walking workouts. It is a do-able supplement to the Walk Away workouts, for days when you don't want to use weights and need a little more variety. These DVDs do not have any strength training, and uses very little in the way of arm movements. They are purely cardio workouts.

However, there are a few things that really date these DVDs. Be aware that they are a re-released old workout from 1992. The music is very dated. Leslie is also continually referring to using a VCR with the workout: "Fast forward to the cool down" or "if you didn't catch this step, rewind and do it again." The clothes and hair styles also really date this DVD, from the "big sock" look to the layered leotards.

The moves themselves are more complicated than her Walk Away workouts. For example, she has you doing several variations on side steps - lots and lots of 80's style grapevines, stepping to the corners at an angle, and even backwards side steps.

The bonus features on all of the DVDs include a short biography of Leslie (non-interactive), and a URL link to Current Video (the manufacturer). For example, The 2-mile DVD features a three-minute introduction, where the walkers themselves are interviewed about the walking workouts and their success with them. Leslie then introduces the walkers (the same walkers as the "Miracle Mile" DVD). What I really appreciate about Leslie's choice of walkers is that they are "real" people. One of the walkers lost over 100 pounds!

While I really appreciate Leslie's Walk Away Workouts, I find this release to still need some tweaking (how about a make over?). I only use it occassionally, to throw some variety into my workouts. If you're bored, and looking for something else to try with Leslie, give this a go.

Summary: Excellent Workout
Review: This re-released DVD offers three different DVD's:

The first DVD is the "Miracle Mile". This offers a great workout if you are in a hurry one morning or you just do not have the energy to pursue a two or three mile workout. Yes, the DVD is dated, looks to be early 90's to me, but the workout is just as good as her current releases! As long as I am sweating and I feel good, I do not mind the dated looks, styles, etc.

The second DVD is the Two Mile Challenge. It is not hard at all and takes all of 25 minutes. This is what I do on a regular day and I can DEFINITELY feel AND see a difference-even within just a week. Just between us girls, my legs and the ::gasp:: cellulite is actually going away and firming up! (I've had a big struggle with this, but I do have a small case of it). I feel better and look forward to getting up and working out before even worrying about breakfast!

The third DVD is the Weight Loss 4 Mile Challenge. It contains three segments. The first segment is only 1 mile long in which Leslie walks by herself doing her "common" walkaerobic moves and feels more like a warm up to me. During the second segment, Leslie is joined by two older ladies and one older man. The moves are the same, but longer and more intense if that makes sense. This segment is 20 minutes long which includes a 1.5 mile walk! In the third segment, Leslie is joined by three younger ladies, which is where the challenge really kicks in. After going 2.5 miles, you have to give it everything you've got to make it. This segment is also 20 minutes long with a 1.5 mile walk. Followed by a cool-down, this is my absolute FAVORITE L.S. Walking DVD.

I highly recommend these DVD's for anyone who likes to walk in the comfort of your home, lose weight sensibly, variety of workouts and who do not have alot of time for working out. Leslie is an angel! Her programs are absolutely amazing. Remember, activity before food, and you'll stay healthy always!

Good Luck and God Bless! :)

P.S. One more thing I forgot to mention, when I started segment two of the 4 mile walk, I felt as if I was learning Salsa moves! Leslie wants you to tap, put your hips into it, so on and so forth. Later on, I kinda laughed to myself with Leslie said, "C'mon, it's just like the Mambo". This is why I LOVE Leslie and this DVD--it just does not feel like "working out" but you come out sweating everytime. Have fun!!

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Well, I admit it, I'm a couch-potato and proud of it ... until two weeks ago, I was changing my clothes and my 4-year-old niece walked in the room (looked at my stomach), and asked "does it hurt?" Well, that's all folks, I ordered Walk the Walk. I LOVE IT! Leslie is inspiring and funny. The most important part is that YOU CAN DO IT. I mean she understands that we're just beginning. She doesn't expect us to learn the routine by watching for one minute and then plunge right in like an experts. She explains every move. Although I've only been doing it for a few days now I am hooked.

Summary: Terrific value but long shipping time
Review: Wow! I finally figured this out! This set is made up of Leslie's 1 mile Miracle Mile, Two Mile Walk, and Walk Off the Weight System-Weight Loss Walk (3 sessions: 1, 1.5 and 1.5 segments, do all for 4 miles)...I have Miracle Mile and Two Mile Walk, and had already ordered WLW as well. The first two are good, but I prefer the new Walk Off the Weight Series with the weighted balls, because routines are very simple. Two Mile Walk is pretty vigorous and takes a few viewings to catch/coordinate everything for us aerobics Klutzs. If you're like most of Leslie's devotees though, you like and collect many of her tapes for variety. Excellent value, and you can get it more quickly than the 4-5 weeks through MarketPlace sellers.
