Power Firm

Leslie Sansone
Year Released: 2000

Categories: Total Body Workouts


This is on the DVD called Power Walking System, with Power Walk 3 Miles. It is a 20 minute lower body workout with ankle weights. Leslie demonstrates each move before each set, and explains everything, which would make this excellent for a beginner. It can be intermediate, by using ankle weights (Leslie does) and by doing additional reps while Leslie is explaining the exercise.
The reps are a good pace, and she does 2 sets for each exercise. You start standing and do ham curls and leg raises. Then you go to the floor and do more ham/butt work (table work) and then finish off with outer & inner thigh raises. She varies the raises to limit the boredom factor.
The music is excellent...which was a big surprise for Leslie workouts! It's 1960's motown, with vocals included!
I use this workout as an addon after cardio (her walking workouts!) or after an upper body workout. The only thing is on the DVD, there are a couple of glitches..but it only sticks for 2 seconds and then continues. All in all, an enjoyable workout with great music.

Instructor Comments:
Leslie is one on one with you, and it's like she's talking to a friend.
