Thread: Leslie Sansone~ Walk Away The Pounds

Hi there,

Is there anyone out there who, like me, enjoys working out to Leslie Sansone and her style of walking away the pounds?

I know shes American *bless* but I love her style and the fact she doesn't teach dance steps, that I can do it in a small floorspace and she doesn't ask for much of a time committment.

Tonight I did a 2 mile walk with her ~ he Fat Burner walk. Tommorrow night I'm aiming for a 4 mile walk ~ I've never done a 4 miler before.

Lovely suplement to my pedometer and keeps Pickle amused! (I was using tins of dog food as make~do weights this evening)

Looking forward to hearing from all my Sisters in Sweat out there.

Hi,

Glad I'm not the only one! . Which dvd's have you got? There are many 3,4 and 5 miles ones! I'm always on the lookout for a change.

I am hopeless when it comes to exercising but feel I must make an effort in the New Year. I chanced upon a video of Leslie and decided this is something that looks do-able for someone as unfit and overweight as me so I have just ordered the 1 and 2 mile walk one as a starter. It is good to know you find it enjoyable. I need the motivation. Will let you know how I get on. Are you finding it helps your weight loss?

Silver S, which 1 and 2 mile walk have you brought? Where did you get it from? I know I'm nosey!

Anyone willing to walk beside me in January? I'm aiming for 60 leslie miles ~ thats 2 miles a day which should be done in half an hour ~ so I'll be able to squeeze that in. Give Pickle something to stare at as well.

Note to self ~ sort out dvd's this week ready for next Sunday... only 7 more sleeps to go!

Looked on youtube for her to see if she is worth it.Looks good.

I enjoy her ~ four basic steps and knowing if all else fails you can go back to walking. On some of her workouts she uses weights or strechie bands ect., but you still get a good workout without these.

I am looking forward to doing 60 miles in January.

I'll join you. Are you going to do a dvd walk?
I'm away until the 2nd jan so won't be able to start until the 3rd.

Looking forward to you joining me on the 3rd ~ it'll help to have to be accountable to somebody.

I am not following only one dvd ~ I have a selection of Leslie's dvds so will chop and change throughout the month. Some dvd's have up to 5 miles on them but that seems too extream for me

Take tender care of you and be prepared to walk, walk, walk!

Hi Judith,
The one I have ordered is Walk Away the Pounds, 1 and 2 mile walk. It looked like a good place to start. I have ordered it from MindBodySpirit on eBay and with the hols am not expecting to get it until the beginning of January.
I don't know how well I am going to be able to cope with it but if I can I will join you. I think perhaps I should just work on a mile a day to begin with and build up to two miles but I am more likely to keep going if I am accountable to you and Pickles!

How has it helped your weight loss?

I've downloaded a couple Leslie Sansone ones from internet so I can begin next week and if I get on with them I will download few more so i don't get bored with doing the same one.

I have just done the 1 mile express on her website. I really enjoyed it although I struggled a bit to keep up when she upped the pace. I realised the room I was in was far too warm!

I think I will stick with a mile until I feel I am doing that reasonably and then move on.

She is a bit dizzy but very positive and motivating!

Off to see what else I can find!

How do you download the videos, gettingfitat50? I've never tried that before. Downloading from Youtube seems rather complicated, if not illegal!

SilverS

I find her workouts are simple but not as easy as they might sound. Walking (like this) isn't for wimps!

Think Leslie calls us walkeds "Sisters in Sweat" ~ she sure knows how to get my heart moving!

Well done SilverS on doing one mile. And you didn't even have to put your rain~hat on *smile*

I did over 11350 steps today ~ didn't touch Leslie *pout*

There's always tomorrow! At least I was eating right today!

Sent you a message.

That's what I like about it, being able to do it without going out! More likely to keep doing it. I'm looking forward to having another go tomorrow but in a cooler room!

Gettingfitat50 - Thanks for the message!
