Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home: Walk Your Belly Flat

This is one of my two favorite Leslie Sansone DVDs. I like the sit-up portion at the end of the work out. I haven't done this one for a while because I have so many workout DVDs, and I tend to use this one in hot weather when I lie on the cool tile floor to do the sit-up portion. I feel it's a good workout that is low impact. Leslie is a very friendly instructor with good cueing. I'm 64 and hope to be able to work out with Leslie for many more years. None of her routines are too complicated.

I love this video! I used to walk my dog almost every day 2-3 miles but the weather has gotten bad and too cold, so when I ordered this it arrived just in time.I like how motivating Leslie is, and yes she talks alot but I like the chit chat and all the walking and talking puts me in a better mood. Turn the volume down and play your own music if you don't want to hear her talking, people! lolThe leg lifts and kicks are beneficial to your abs and the bicycle exercises at the end are awesome. I try to do a few extra than what she does for even more benefit. Same for the leg lifts and I usually have so much energy by the third mile that I do more jogging (aka gentle jogging) than what she does and I put more emphasis into the side stepping. But that's just me. It's an easy video that I can do every day practically with no excuses not to walk. It has only been a week but I feel so much better already and lost 1/2 a pound in just four days. It just goes to show that you don't have to buy some expensive $100 Insanity video series or Jillian Michaels (ugh) to look and feel great. I feel like my abs are getting tighter already after just a week!I can't wait to try more of her videos!Latest edit: EIGHT MONTHS LATER....I STILL use this video and out of four of her DVD's that I have tried now this is STILL my favorite. I have lost 20 pounds since last October, went from 135 (give or take a few pounds) down to around 115 and maintaining. I know that exercise is helping me maintain along with a healthy diet and I still use this video when I can! It's great! If I want a more intense workout, I just do her last 15 minutes (third mile) and add some extra running and even dance/aerobics. I try to change it up. But like she says don't let this replace your outdoor walks around the neighborhood - I walk my dogs most days when it's not rainy or hot out, but even during the summer months it's nice knowing that I have this video to go downstairs into my nice cool basement when it's 90 degrees outside and just do my thing and get my workout in. I need my walks so that I feel refreshed and it's actually better for me than any antidepressant or energy drink out there LOL

Any dvd I order from leslie is wonderful. She is great and she is a wonderful instructor.

I have 5 other WATP DVD's with Leslie and this is by far my favorite one yet. First, I like the pace. It's a faster tempo than some of the other workouts and so it feels like I've really accomplished something. Also, Leslie is much better about letting the audience know what is coming next and then doing what she says she is going to do. On some of the other DVD's there are times when she says one thing and does another.I love the workouts when Leslie is alone, like this one, because she gets so giggly and sappy when she has a group. She'll giggle a lot, call people love and doll. That's not for me, so this one is great. She has only one giggle episode with herself and when it happens, she admits she loves to giggle.Leslie explains why this is a walk for belly fat. She explains that belly fat isn't burned just by floor crunches, that fat is burned by aerobic exercise, which is why this standing routine still burns belly fat. Without the walker even realizing it, he or she is working the abs through the standing crunches and ab rotation that are part of this workout. The short floor exercise at the end is just an add-on to an already great workout.My only disappointment with this DVD is that the music is not loud enough. When I turn it up louder, Leslie still drowns out the beat sometimes. I like hearing the music so that I can keep up the pace without having to stare right at the TV.I recommend this workout for anyone with limited time, limited space and and anyone looking for an easy to learn routine without fancy confusing footwork.

This is the third Leslie Sansone dvd I have purchased. This is the best Leslie Sansone dvd I own for getting back into the walks after I've taken a week off. I like this dvd a lot, though it is very different.There are no other walkers with Leslie so it feels like a private session with her. Leslie gained a lot of weight in this dvd, which surprised me, but I relate to her better knowing she has experienced weight gain too. Her endurance is still very strong. This dvd does not use toning balls or the stretch bands.The dvd consists of 3 separate one mile walks, but the warm up is only on the first walk and the cool down is only on the third walk. It has a full walk option that smoothly rolls through all three walks. She has added some new, minor moves such as toe pointing. It has a one minute jog and a clock feature I like a lot.There are some snafus, such as loss of music at a couple point and Leslie has to ask her technician to play the music. It's not as slick a dvd as some of her other productions. But I really like this dvd.
