Leslie Sansone
What is her most strenuous video? I have the 4 mile tape, and I've outgrown it. A shorter, more intense tape would be great. Has anybody used Walk and Kick or Walk and Jog?

I'm not much help, even though I have every tape she ever made, when I was heavier, it was the only exercise I could do. I just gave away a bunch of 'em as I don't use a vcr anymore.
Dunno what they are all called as really, they are kind of similar to each other, even the newer ones. I kid you not, but I believe the most intense one she ever made was one for adults over 40 that was made many years ago. There was also a really vintage walk 'n jog one with her employees at the fitness studio where she started her business. They all wore psychedelic colors and it was somewhat intense.
Really, her vids are interchangeable, IMO ... it's not a criticism, I really enjoy her. Some are a bit more intense than others, but the key is to get ones you enjoy (she makes me feel cheerful, which is no small accomplishment) and add your own intensity. When she walks, you jog double time ... add heavier weights, that kind of thing. The strength of her vids is adding extras is easy to do because the movements are so basic and you don't have to concentrate.

Walk and Kick and Walk and Jog are not very strenuous, alas.
I have moved on to Charlene Prickett low impact videos (Less Impact, More Results) and the Walking for Weight Loss video with Madeleine Lewis.

Charlene has a LOT of strenuous strength training vids and step aerobics vids.
Walk & Jog with Leslie Sansone is a 2 1/2 mile video-but you are doing 2 1/2 miles in 30 minutes instead of the usual 2 miles in 30-because of the jogging intervals. It is a little more intense due to those. I would recommend for Walk & Jog-a nice supportive sports bra.

Leslie is my favorite, though I don't have THAT many vids yet. I've only just begun this journey 4 or so weeks ago. At any rate, I've the combo disc set (1, 2, and 3 miles), plus just bought her Walk and Kick. For a beginner like myself, I thought it was a pretty good workout.
I also have the "Extreme Makeover Fitness" vid. I haven't tried it out yet, but there are several different aspects to the workout.

I also just purchased the Jane Fonda Collection. I have done the toning and sculpting section, and it's very good for beginners. She's great at showing you correct form, etc.
Jane Fonda and buyer reviews
I may check out Charlene Prickett and Madeline Lewis.

I'm just starting out and have done one of her mile ones and a mile and a half one (off of my on demand cable thingy). They were a good workout for me right now. Which one is a good one to buy?

Some good Leslie walking videos for beginners are:
Her Sun and Moon set, which contains:
~Morning Mile plus abs
~Evening Mile plus legs
The morning one is about 25 minutes long, and the evening one is about 35 minutes. They are each a 1 mile walk with a 10 minute toning segment at the end. The evening walk is a little less "fast" since you are closer to bedtime. The morning one you can use optional 1 or 2 pound weights or weighted balls for the cardio. This set is available at her website or at Collage Video website.
Some of these videos are in "sets" with other videos, or you can look them up by themselves on Ebay:
~Walk Away The Pounds "Get Up and Get Started"
This is a 1 mile walk, 20 minutes long, and you can use the optional 1 or 2 pound weights or balls for the last half of it. Find it alone on Ebay, or you can find it online at Amazon.com, or in the 2-3 dvd set at Collage Video or Best Buy. (The 2 or 3 dvd sets it comes with the 2 and 3 mile workout in the same series-High Calorie Burn 2 Mile, and Super Fat Burning 3 Mile)
~Walk Diet dvd
This is available on Amazon.com, it was originally sold through Avon.
These are all good videos for beginners.

There is another Leslie 4 mile video that is a bit more strenous that I got from Collage Video. It's called Power Walk 4 Mile I believe. It works the arms a lot more, but the quality is not fantastic. I alternate that one and the 4 Mile Express and doing that makes me drip with sweat still LOL.
The Walk and Kick is not very strenous, I agree. It's a nice one to do on an off day just so you don't feel guilty for not exercising.

I just bought Walk Away the Pounds (power series) and it's an express work out. It's a one mile brisk walk with leg kicks and kick backs.. oh and weights too. I did that twice tonight and it made me feel good and it got me sweating and my heart rate up.. so that's good.

Walk and Kick is a 2 mile workout. I love to keep track of my miles, too! The Abs series is great! I also love the Express set with the stretchie band.
I'm a Leslie Sansone addict (at least that's what hubby would say!). I have about 15 tapes and DVD's and still get more from ebay.
Happy walking!
Michele

Jennifer - I can't believe I am just now seeing this post. I love Leslie Sansone and her videos. I think I have most of them. A few months ago I added the Walk & Jog and the the Walk & Kick to my collection.
I like the Walk and Jog bec you get in 2 1/2 miles in 30 minutes.
But I find the Walk and Kick more intense. Maybe it's bec it's different moves but I sweat more and breath harder on that video than any of the others.
I like them both! And when you want to do 60 minutes of exercise - I think that they are 2 great videos to put together and do back to back. Believe you me - you will be worn out after doing both of those in 60 minutes.
Please let us know if you tried them and what you think.
hugs,
Cathy
