Some of the exercises are better than others. For instance, the "scissors" can be felt very deeply in the abdominal muscles. The tape starts with a good four to five minute walking warmup then proceeds on to a series of exercises both for the frontal abs and for the opposing muscles in the back.

Very much liked it because it featured "real" people: individuals who were still noticeably overweight but were doing their best to lose that weight and had already made remarkable progress walking off their excesses. It pleased me that Leslie allowed one of her students (Mary Kay) to lead the second mile at the speed walking pace of a 12 minute mile. That was really energizing!

This DVD lacked consistently and did not prove to be as good a workout as the Walk Slim - 4 Fast Miles or the Walk Slim: Fast and Firm 4 Really Big Miles. It consisted of five seperate miles that you could do altogether or seperately if you preferred. I did not like that--there did not seem to be a good flow because of this.

Intermediate level.

While not as vigorous as Leslie's "Walk Slim Fast & Firm 4 Really Big Miles", this tape does a really good job of waking your body up to an exercise week.

A set of of four distinct tapes previously made and sold individually. It's kind of like "The Best of Walk Away the Pounds" the series and includes POWER MILES; WALK STRONG; WALK & JOG; and WALK & KICK.

Intermediate level.

Finishing Leslie declares "I know your spirit is lifted. Your mood has changed..." and "This is really healthy for your body, mind and soul." She also reminds you "This is a walking workout. You're not trying to learn steps". She really seems to enjoy teaching and the people she exercises with. Her emphasis is not only on improving physical health but emotional and spiritual as well.

"It's a big, walk sweaty party" proclaims Leslie Sansone in this DVD which includes five sets of intervals. The tape is energetic, lively and fast paced and the individuals exercising to it on the tape seem to be having a really good time. (Intermediate to advanced level).

Very basic but a good tape to start you out if you have never done yoga before in your life.

A good attempt to incorporate strength training with fast walking. Uses the "Walkblaster" incline step to do lunges and squats to help sculpt, slim and strengthen legs.
