All DietsWhat You Should Know
Leslie Sansone created her walking workouts over twenty years ago. Her philosophy was and still is that you can lose weight by walking. The official website for the Leslie Sansone walking products tells us that she began her Walk at Home Program in church halls and that it has now become a multi-million pound business. She has created over one hundred Walking Workout instructional DVDs.
Ingredients
There are no ingredients, the Leslie Sansone program consists of walking workouts on DVDs.
Product Features
The official website for the Leslie Sansone walking DVDS is full of testimonials from people who have followed her walking workouts with success. There are also a large number of impressive before and after photos. These testimonials and photos seem very authentic, and there appears to be no doubt that these walking workouts have definitely helped a number of people who have used the DVDs. However the Leslie Sansone walking workouts are not the only walking workouts available for sale on DVD. There is no evidence that the workouts created by Leslie Sansone are superior to other walking workouts for sale on DVD. The Leslie Sansone DVDs are available for sale via the official website, or otherwise you can purchase them from shops such as Wal Mart. You can also subscribe to a monthly walking workout newsletter via the official website. Of course you do not necessarily need a DVD to enable you to undertake walking exercises. Unless you suffer from a disability walking is something that we can all do quite easily and for free. Of course it is something that takes up time and all of those who want to lose weight may not necessarily have the time to follow a walking workout program everyday.
Advantages
- There is an official website for the Leslie Sansone walking workouts.

Disadvantages
- Not everybody has the time to follow daily walking workouts.

- You do not necessarily need to buy DVDs to follow a walking regimen.
- Some people simply do not like walking.
- Some find the DVDs repetitive and boring. (See reader comments.)
Conclusive
There is no doubt that the testimonials and the before and after photos on the Leslie Sansone official website are impressive and very convincing. However there is no concrete evidence that her walking workout DVDs achieve superior results compared to other walking workout DVDs. Also this exercise does not interest everyone. As things stand we cannot recommend the Leslie Sansone walking workouts over and above other exercise programs available that claim to help you lose weight, although it never hurts to walk to the market instead of taking the car.
I used to like Leslie Sansone’s old workouts. They were different in each section of the video. However, she has become SO boring. All of her DVD’s have the same routine!!! the four basic steps in every workout. It doesn’t matter if it says “abs walking” “legs” or “arms” They are all the same!!! It is a reap off. If I have one DVD I know what all of the rest are about! Please someone let her know that variety is what keeps a person exercising. It would be great if she goes back to the steps of her first workouts, mor FUN!!

I agree with the last comment. Leslie’s workouts need to have variety. I stopped buying her dvd’s

I agree that Leslie’s DVDs are very samey. I love her simple, uncomplicated workouts and her nice not overley perky personality but if you have one DVD you have them all. I just bought her latest 5 mile one and some of the music is exactly like the music on my other ones. The whole reason for a new DVD was to workout to new music! The sould quality was awful, too, I felt like I was wearing earmuffs.

I get the DVD’s from my local library. It would be nice if more people would support their public library (which we all pay for in our taxes)–not to mention trying a product and then deciding whether to purchase it. Think of all the waste when people don’t use the product they buy.
The variety is in the layout of the different DVD’s and it is not intended that we use them all. The music has to be paid for at very high prices, so why not use them more than once?
The real question here is does it work to get us exercising and into better and healthier habits. That is when a product works, when it motivates and guides us to a better choice towards health.

I love Leslie’s DVD’s. They’re not too difficult, you don’t have to be coordinated, and they sweat like we do (no fakey stuff) or powdering their noses in between. I feel so much better and have started a walking exercise group at work and at church. Thank you Leslie for helping in getting me excited to exercise again. I feel so much better and have lost 7 lbs. in 25 days. My longterm goal is to lose 50 lbs. Thank you for helping me in reaching toward this goal.

I have been doing leslie’s workouts since Ocotober of 2009 and as of to day I have lost 44 pounds. I have 5 different DVD’s and they are all different. Stop complaining and just workout.

The 45 minute DVD with the Belt is excellent. I did it 3 times this week and feel great.

Leslie’s DVDs are great for those of us who are trying to make it up and off the couch. On one DVD you can go from the “start moving” and eventually build endurance and muscle so that you can move up to the power walk segment – and all at your own pace without having to invest in more DVDs – LOVE it.

I have been doing them online (free) on realage.com (mile 1 &2). The 1 mile daily, gets me revved up, I just add my own arm stuff, doing 1&2 back to back and going to add weights and stretch bands. Make it fun for you, eventually you won’t need a DVD, just walk to some good music and throw some other stuff in.
