Leslie Sansone's 3 Mile Walk Away the Pounds Express! I have been using her videos for years. They may be a little corny, but they WORK. They are a great full body workout with easy-to-learn moves and they always make me feel good. It helps that Leslie is always encouraging, too :) I've had this video for years. I always go back to her stuff. When I got the huge blister on my foot and it became painful to walk I started doing these again. It was easier for my foot to go up and down on the floor than for me to be outside walking. Not to mention it has been HOT!!!
If you have never tried her videos, I highly recommend them. The Walk Away the Pounds Express is a great system - I have the videos in 1 mile, 2 mile, 3mile, and 4 mile. I am also coveting the 5 mile.
I have the first four on separate DVD's but these days you can buy it in one collection for only $10. What a freaking steal. I probably paid $20 for each one separately back in the day. If you are interested click the photo to go to the page on Amazon.
I am already feeling my legs AND arms getting stronger! I am using 3lb hand weights during most of the walk.
Overall I am SO enjoying being more active. I do this workout 2-3 time a week, take a walk or two, and then on the weekends we have been active doing hiking, geocaching, whatever we feel like! It feels great.
If you are interested in trying some Leslie Sansone workouts just hop on amazon and put in your name. I also have the Walk & Kick DVD and the Walk & Jog DVD and I really like those. They get the heart rate up so well. She has another series called Slim, Shape & Sculpt which is similar to step aerobics, except more simple and I like it so much better. I don't see those on Amazon though and I'm not sure if you can still buy those. I've never been disappointed by any of Leslie's stuff. Just as a disclaimer I don't have any affiliation... I just really like her stuff :)
That is a steal and looks like a fun workout! I'm all for "at home" workouts since I don't want to belong to a gym!
ReplyDeleteI get your scrapbook freebies feed and I peeked at your health blog. I just wanted to tell you last Sept. I started Weight Watchers and Leslie Sanson was my workout. I only wanted to lose 20 lbs. But between the two (WW & LS) of them (I have almost all of her dvds) I met my goal by Dec. and since I was in good shape from the DVD's I started doing her "gentle jog" outside and have gone on to lose 51. I ran my first 5K this spring and won in my age group. While the loss is good, it's too much for my height (5'8" at 127 now is thinner than before I got married). So I actually need to eat more (it's hard for me to get my head around that!) I will be back to Leslie once the weather turns here in Atlanta. Oh, I am now 51 and feeling absolutely fabulous. I just wanted to tell you I so believe in Leslie's workouts because as you said, you get an all over workout and you need to incorporate the different steps to keep your muscles limber. It really does work if you stick to it. No one could believe how the weight came off so quickly....I just told them "Leslie"! Best of luck with your journey. I'm rooting for you!
