Product Description
From Amazon.com
This 1990 light-intensity workout, designed for beginning exercisers over 40, is extremely simple: many repetitions of marching in place, walking forward and back, step-touches, and low kicks. Leslie Sansone, chipper and cute, leads a 20-minute low-impact routine, with a five-minute warm-up and a five-minute cool-down. The workout is quite repetitious: you might march for more than 100 beats, broken up only by a few arm variations. Then you might kick 32 times. Considering all the workout videos Sansone has made, it's annoying that she cues her own left and right rather than yours (you're facing her, therefore her right is your left) and she incessantly chants the wrong "right, left, right, left." This video is for beginning exercisers who wish to keep the intensity low and don't get bored repeating the same four moves for half an hour. --Joan Price

This review is from: Leslie Sanson:40+ Walk Aerobic (VHS Tape)
I checked this video out at the library along with the regular two-mile walk. I absolutely love it. Yes, it's from the early 90s and there's a little too much hairspray and thick black eyeliner, but Leslie's enthusiasm and encouragement make you tend to forget about it. Now I look forward to getting up in the morning and exercising before I even start my work day. Before, it was the last thing I'd think about doing, and then it wouldn't get done at all and I'd be disappointed that I let another day go by without taking better care of myself. I found the regular two-mile walk too difficult; I thought I was going to keel over dead by the 3/4 mile mark because there were so many lunges, but the over-40 tape is just right for those of us who've kept saying "I'll start working out tomorrow." If it's a little too easy, just add some of the arm movements or knee lifts and kicks when she's instructing just marching in place (like a couple of the people in the tape do), or add some wrist or ankle weights. As Leslie says so often (to paraphrase), it's not about fancy moves, it's about keeping moving, keeping your heart rate up, changing your body for the good. I've just ordered this tape and I'll definitely buy a few more just for variety.

This review is from: Leslie Sanson:40+ Walk Aerobic (VHS Tape)
I am 46 and bought this video years ago, but only since Jan. have used it everyday since..Yes, as some other reviewers say, Leslie does get off on the wrong foot, but she is so totally REAL, not like some of these others that are so false..She is ditzey and fun..It DOES get repetitious, but then I let my mind roam as I do whats best for me..combining this tape and Weight Watchers diet, I have now lost 65 pounds..I will continue to march along with Leslie, she's the greatest!

very motivating for the beginner,

This review is from: Leslie Sanson:40+ Walk Aerobic (VHS Tape)
I love this video as it's the perfect introduction to exercise. I am really out of shape, and the more strenuous of her videos was really discouraging to me as a beginner. This is a good workout, and I don't dread doing it as I have other videos. In fact, I like Leslie's enthusiasm for walking and exercise; it helps keep me motivated.The only downside is that the camera focuses a lot on some of the walkers who "march to their own drummer"; that is, they aren't in step with Leslie at all. I try to ignore the screen when this happens, because it really throws off following the music. (the woman on Leslie's left with the black hair, white T-shirt with yellow print is the worst offender. She's very enthusiastic, but is nowhere near to keeping the beat of the music.) Still, this is a great exercise video, and I recommend it highly for those needing help getting started.
