I can't believe I'm asking an exercise-related question! I must be feeling confident in my weightloss.

I am NOT trying to get out of buying the book/video but I can't find much information online. The walk away the pounds website link doesn't lead anywhere. One brief description says you walk away the pounds in your own home. Is that right? I can't visualize walking on the spot - or buying a treadmill either, so maybe I've got it wrong.

I'd appreciate any help before I jump into amazon.

Thanks.

Here's a clip from youtube from one of Leslie's DVDs

You walk on the spot in front of your TV. I know, sounds boring, but it is actually fairly engaging. You do more than just walk, though: I forget what she does to switch it up, but it does keep you going.

Oh--and she isn't alone, which is helpful. She has a group of people of all shapes and sizes doing it with her...so that's kind of nice too.

Can you get a copy from your library before you buy it?

My description is it's an aerobics video that's based on marching in place rather than dance steps so I don't get quite so discombobulated. For variety you do side steps, knee lifts, kicks front and back. Then adds in some arm movements.

Go to collage and do a search for "sansone" and you will get a bunch of the ones they have with the video clips.

It is basically low impact walking style aerobics. Get it at your library and try before you buy.

The Kim Lyons set is also walking style aerobics but adds a weight training portion.

Thanks for the info, guys, I'll go do my research now.

I think what I'm really after is a guide on how to extend my outdoor walking - though I can't see how that could be a DVD, of course! So a book, I guess; or maybe an online programme.

It's all city round me, and I feel a bit weird just walking, unless I'm walking into town to go shopping. I know I could just tell myself that today I'll do double the distance, or try to do the same distance in a shorter time. However, I like to have instructions to follow - I'm quite obedient - and would feel less silly if I were walking to a plan, even though I'd still be walking in
the same area.

Maybe you need something like a training schedule?

Try a 5K one.

Or audio tapes?
