Walk away the pounds video

  • leslie sansons walk away the pounds express, 4 mile walk is an AWESOME dvd. I'm totally out of shape and can only go one mile right now but I'm hoping to work up to 4 miles by the end of next month, in addiction to my walking outside....

    this video is SO EASY. I turn the volume all the way down and put on some fast loud punk music to get me going and I can still follow it, it's just a few si mple moves throughout the walk and it is really easy and a super good workout.
  • It's been too cold for running (for me anyway LOL) lately, so I've been doing that video most days. I started with a mile myself and worked my way up. Now, even the hour of it sometimes isn't enough. While I walk to the music they have, just to keep the right pace because I have such poor coordination anyway, I have started doing jumping jacks, jump rope movements, and upper body twists instead of just the walking in place. I will stop the jumping to go to the kicks, knee lifts and sidesteps, but I spice up the walk segments.
  • [FONT=Book Antiqua]I love Leslie Sanson! I have the Walk Off the Pounds for Abs with the arm band and a double dvd with a 3 or 4 mile walk. I can't remember right now.
    Even if I haven't time to dig out the the video, I can just do the basic moves to some music or just while watching the kids play out in the back yard.
    Its great!

  • how is it different from 3 miles- like different moves,etc
  • I've never used 3....for people who already have a video, don't sweat it I'm sure it's not all that different... but for peopel who don't, I suggest getting it instead of a one or two mile one because you can work yer way up...
  • I have the 4 mile express DVD with the 15 minute stretch session on the end...which I never usually do cuz it can't do it...but my mom says I should! lol The DVD is 60 minutes in total, and really works up a sweat, I usually turn the volume down too and put on a CD to listen too cuz the workout is easy and I dont like listening to her say the same thing every time I do it! lol
  • I do the 4 mile super challenge, but I too never do the stretches at the end, because I prefer to substitute it with yoga stretching. As long as you do something to stretch the muscles and cool down, you should be fine.
  • I just got a double one it has the two mile walk and the weight loss 4 mile walk. I love it I have only done the two mile walk but its fun. I think the video is from the 80s though she has some funky hair in lol... My husband is usually playing a computer game so I listen to his game instead of her.
