Great WorkoutSeptember 30, 2008 Scott Yates 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I picked up a couple of Leslie Sansom DVDs since I wanted to walk more. Since I was ennjoying them I also picked this one up. Leslie is a upbeat pleasent instructor and does a great job with the workouts. She explains things very well and I am able to follow along. I have been using hand weights now and feeling stronger.
LOVE this workout...Love Leslie in this one best of allAugust 27, 2008 Linda Huff(Tallahassee, FL United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Like the other reviewer, I have many of Leslie Sansone workouts and many other types of workouts on DVD as well. I have stuck with the 2 miles workout for years, while adding Pilates, Yoga, and other strength training by a variety of sources. In this workout, it is just Leslie and she is at her best. She talks to you the entire time, as a coach and sounds like a best friend at the same time. You work all the muscle groups and can work with or without weights and add weights over time as you become more fit. Leslie makes sure you are doing the exercises in a way that is safe and effective. There are good warmups and stretching at the end of each 30 minute exercise routine. You'll want a chair on hand, a floor mat, and you'll probably want to use weights or at least build up to using weights. The time goes by quickly and you'll feel great. I exercise every day and wanted to turn up my metabolism. Working with weights is a wonderful way to accomplish that. Enjoy!
A "Must Have" Workout DVDNovember 14, 2007 Lori Isabella(Madison, WI United States) 23 out of 23 found this review helpful
While I have many, many workout DVDS by Leslie Sansone, and others, this is one of my absolute favorites. Each workout takes only about 30 minutes to do and truly works all the muscles in the targeted group. Each move is well explained and demonstrated. Even if you have never done a workout with a DVD before you will be able to follow this one. You will need some kind of hand weights for the upper body workout but even something as simple as 20oz soda bottles filled with water or sand will work in a pinch. Leslie Sansone is a very cheerful and verbal instructor, but she teaches these workouts solo so there isn't any of the inter-group banter that some people find annoying in her other workout DVDS. What I like best about these workouts is that they can be used long term without waning results. When the workout gets too easy you simply add more weight/resistance.
