Leslie Sansone Two Mile Walk Walk 2 Miles
Perhaps you’re turned off of video exercises because the dance routines are too complicated. Maybe the moves are too difficult, the music too loud, the tone too “rah rah.” Or maybe you’re just not as supple as the kids in the videos; a high-impact workout can be deadly to bad knees. The antidote to the The Grind and Crunch aerobics is Leslie Sansone’s 2 Mile Walk. This is the perfect beginner’s workout for all ages and all sizes. She calls her program Walkaerobics, and while there’s more low-impact aerobics than walking, her style is clear, simple, and easy to follow. The idea is that you can walk two miles in the comfort of your own home. The steps are basic–side steps, forward steps, gentle arm movements. If the grapevine is too difficult for you, Leslie encourages you to just do two side steps. If you haven’t the space to walk forward four steps, she lets you know you can do it in place. Every quarter mile, the “Fit-O-Meter” flashes on the bottom of the screen, telling you how long you’ve walked, how far you’ve gone, and your speed (assuming, of course, you’re keeping up with the beat of the low-key music). This provides a clear way to provide goals for yourself–as Leslie says, walk a quarter mile, walk one mile, walk whatever you’re comfortable with and then fast forward to the cool down. While the testimonials at the beginning of the tape are extraneous, the workout itself is a terrific introduction to exercise, and easy enough that it just may give you the motivation to break a sweat. –Jenny Brown

4 Stars Takes time to get the hang of…Intermediate to Advanced Level
I had a lot of trouble with this DVD because I am very clutzy. She went into new moves with almost no warning and they definitely require dexterity. I just couldn’t do most of it the first few times. But what I could do got me sweating and I think if I keep at it I will get the hang of it after awhile. I think it is more challenging than most of her newer DVD’s.
4 Stars My favorite for walking at home
I have several Leslie Sansone walking videos. But this older one I first rented from the library and found it to be my favorite so I bought it to keep. It has simple moves that I can use to almost any kind of upbeat music. I also like the fact that Leslie has thin and huskier-types of individuals doing the workout. The mile-marker is also an encouragement for me. There is a little of the chatter that goes on, but I’ve learned to tune it out. This is a good basic workout that you can do right in your own living room. No excuse for bad weather!
4 Stars Great sub for outdoor walks!
I’ve had this VHS version for years. I normally walk outside as I love the fresh air, hills, beach, trees, flowers, scenery (choose one)! However when I cannot get outside this walk is a nice substitute. It’s much easier, though, than walking outside so you might need to step it up by adding weights or doing extra exaggerated moves.
Would be great for a beginner as well! Enjoy!!
5 Stars Leslie Sansone – 2 Mile Walk – Walk 2 Miles
This dvd is great if you prefer to walk indoors on any given day. And if you have not walk in awhile its a great starter dvd to physically, mentally, and spiritually to get you motivated. Leslie motivates you to keep going and going like an energizer bunny rabbit.
5 Stars A Winner Exercise DVD from Leslie!
I bought Leslie Sansone’s 2 Mile Walk DVD after reading the many positive reviews on Amazon. I am so glad I bought this DVD! It is perfect for me! I have just gotten back into exercising after dropping out of it for awhile and this DVD is just what I was looking for! I am in my early 50s and overweight and can easily get through the first mile and the cool-down period. Once I become more fit, I’m sure I’ll be able to get through two miles and the cool-down period. I highly recommend this wonderful DVD! It’s my fourth Leslie Sansone tape/DVD and a keeper!
