It works
May 9 2003
Two years ago I weighed 350 lbs and had health problems. Cold turkey I started eating fruits and vegetables for lunch and breakfast and a regular dinner and started using Leslie Sansone's tapes daily. At first I could not even do 15 minutes but now I do 3 miles and I am in better shape and have more energy and have lost 116 lbs so far. I credit Leslie with helping me through this. The tapes are so easy to follow, you can do them in the privacy of your home in air conditioning with a small amount of space. Her tapes are just wonderful and I have many different versions in case I want to change. I couldn't live without them and have recommended them to many people who have also lost weight. They are the best
Not Leslie's Best Workouts....
July 19 2004
Leslie is the queen of walking workouts. Her tapes leave you with no excuse not to exercise. They are simple, you can do them at home rain or shine and they are quick.
I enjoy many of Leslie's tapes but found the Walk Away The Pounds for Abs tape to be less than her best.
The walks are Leslie's usual walks with easy movements, sidesteps, marches etc. This particular set includes a l mile, 2 mile or 3 mile walk on one DVD. A resistance belt, recipe cards and a small booklet with a suggested walking workout schedule. The problem is with the WATP's belt.
The tapes are marketed as walks that work your abs. You put a velcro belt around your waist and pull on the resistance bands attached to the belt. One band per arm. This does not work your abs at all. It works your arms. Sadly it also strains the muscles in your back. Not a good thing.
The ab belts are not well made and many folks have been sad to discover theirs have broken with just a few uses. To rectify this the manufacturer of the belt now makes them so the bands have a very light resistance. This way there is not a lot of tension on the bands, so they are less likely to break. Naturally, this also means your arms are not going to get a workout either.
You could do the workouts without the bands and just use light weights but why would you when Leslie offers so many other workouts to choose from.
Unless you want a sore back skip these tapes and select something else.

I first discovered Leslie Sansone's workout videos at the local library. I tried them all and liked the walk away the pounds for abs the best. She does not incorporate any intensely difficult steps and she is a gentle but uplifting instructor. She has a fit but not perfect body and the music is "canned" but with good beats. Her laughter is infectious and her smile is warm. All these elements help me to put my DVD in and ENJOY the workout. My husband bought me the 3 DVD set with belt as a Valentine present - and I really like them. The ONLY regret I have is that the DVDs are not set up by chapters - I can't jump ahead to the cool down by clicking to it, I have to "fast forward" just like a video. That's unfortunate. Other than that, I like having all three "videos" on DVD so I can choose whatever I feel like doing. The belt is an easy way to add variety to the workout and I also use 1.5 lb hand weights when I'm feeling super strong. I have gone from 210 lbs to 177 eating healthy (NOT the Atkin's diet), smaller portions and exercising. Leslie Sansone's DVDs are a great investment for a beginner or a moderate exerciser. Good luck to everyone!

It really works!!!
This DVD really works--the only bad thing is that the belt stretches out in a few months, but you can get a replacement for about $20 from Leslie's website. Read more
