 What's with the belt??? January 20, 2004

I have almost all of Leslie Sansone's tapes. This by far is the poorest one; only because of the belt. I choose to do these workouts without it. The belt hinders my movements. The videos are wonderful and the exercises can be completed without the belt. All of her tapes do a wonderful job of targeting total body fitness. Save your money and put it towards her new series "Walk away the pounds express."

I have these videos after my mother bought them for me. I'm really shocked at the comments in these reviews about how "low impact" these are. When you stand in one place, and keep marching, that will kill your knees. I have bursitis in both knees, and because of these tapes, I now have early onset arthritis. I'm again shocked that people with "bad knees" loved these videos. The folks at my mom's office do these videos each work day, and the "leader" of the group had to bow out due to knee replacement surgery after losing many pounds [80?] due to these videos. I've lost 21 pounds in 3 months due to simple exercise [20 minutes min. daily] and cutting back on what I eat. Nothing sensational here. Just like these videos. Nothing sensational. Please, if you have poor knee structure to begin with, choose Kathy Smith or someone else. I have a ton of Kathy Smith videos, and all of her exercises are done with a physical therapist. These videos are made for the novice exerciser....a person who will over-extend their bodies to the degree that they will pull muscles and harm themselves. My mother used these videos, and also had to stop due to joint issues. These videos are harmful to your joints. Please, watch yourselves carefully if you choose this exercise route. Losing weight is a wonderful thing [especially after giving birth, like I have], but don't sacrifice your long term health for short term goals.
Great Tape Set! Buy the Power belt if your belt breaks! January 7, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful tape series. Due to bad knees, I can't work out on a treadmill nor can I walk or run on a track or pavement - but, I can easily do this workout! I love the pacing, the music is nice but I find that the belt is not powerful enough for me. I'm afraid that if I tighten it too much, it will snap and break. Instead, I use the Powerbelt (I think it is by Kathy Smith - order from Walkers Warehouse) The Powerbelt fits better - does not ride up while exercising and comes with different resistance packs. It is pricey (about $65.00) but is very well made and will last forever!
Making the Belt Last Forever! December 11, 2003

I too broke the walkaway belt in the first few weeks of use. So I replaced the blue stretchy cords that came with it with that rubber surgical tubing [the kind they use to tie around your arm when they're going to take blood] which is available at any medical supply place for about 15 a foot. I haven't had that tubing break in over a year of daily use, but if it did, I'd buy more. The belt and handles themselves should last a very long time. The tapes are great, and if they used that tubing instead of the rubber cord that comes on the belt, I'd give six stars!
 Video great , belt is junk October 25, 2003

I like the videos but the belt is junk, I have gone thru 6 of the belts, yes 6! they each broke after using them for about 2 weeks, even the so called improved belt didnt hold up. I even got hurt when one of them broke. So now I just use my hand weights , which works much better than the belt.
