Excellent, non-intimidating exercise video, Avril 28 2004
Par Un client
I'm a 49 year old couch potato with asthma, high cholesterol, and a bad attitude about fitness. I've abandoned many a fitness program over the years: gym memberships, exercise machines, morning walks, even the RCAF 5BX program. Every one I tried left me disappointed -- injuries, expense, inconvenience, or an overly ambitious regimen. I'm uncoordinated, unathletic, unmotivated and find nothing in common with people who love exercising and working out. But ... with high cholesterol and back pain and encroaching middle age, I decided, after years of nagging by my doctor, to give it one last try. She suggested yoga, I bought a couple of yoga videos, then while searching through the selection here at B&N, found Leslie Sansones' Walk Away the Pounds program. The reviews intrigued me -- was this in fact an exercise program that a slob with two left feet could actually do without hurting myself or feeling like an idiot? By golly, the reviewers were right. I've been doing this 3 to 4 times a week since February (it's now the end of April), and I actually FEEL BETTER as a result. Spouse likes to drag me around botanical gardens on the weekends, and these are fun but sometimes a chore when there are steep hills and stairs to climb... last time out, I viewed the uphill climb back to the parking lot with trepidation, but to my amazement I was able to keep up, and didn't feel lousy at the end of the climb. Wow! My chest doesn't hurt now when I exercise (I didn't realize it did before, I was so used to it). I can breathe efficiently again, kinda like a car with a clean air filter. I actually look forward to my one mile or two mile walks in the morning after spouse leaves for work (I still feel silly if I'm spotted doing them though). I don't have to go outside in the rain and cold of winter, or the blazing heat and smog of summer. The cat watches with amusement from my favorite chair, and the parrot yodels along with Leslie's chitchat. It would be premature to say Walk Away The Pounds has made me look thinner -- the pounds so far are doing a pretty good job of keeping up -- but the improvement in my health and fitness level is worth it, even if I never shed an ounce. No fancy dance moves here -- if you can remember to lift alternate feet more or less in time with the music, you can do this program without feeling like a dork. And you can enjoy watching the other exercise ladies (and man) working out with Leslie. There's fat ones, skinny ones, tall ones, short ones, young ones, old ones, well you get the picture. A role model for everyone, whether you're a cut and buffed bodybuilder or a built-for-comfort cuddle bunny. I give this my highest recommendation, because after two months I'm still doing it -- a personal record.
