Leslie teams up with Weight Watcher's Florine Mark to make this 4 mile powerwalk workout which clocks in at about 55 minutes. It is typical Leslie which contains basic and easy to do low impact moves such as marches, steping side-to-side, front kicks, and knee lifts. And like most of her workouts, you can always up the intensity by using light hand weights. The workout is broken down into 4, 4 mile sections so you can chose to do 1, 2, 3 or all 4.

For the most part, Leslie's workouts have the same theme(walking) with some slight variations from one workout to the next. So I'll tell you what I like and didn't like about this one.

Likes:
- Has Leslie's usual workout gang. Carol, Sandy, and some of her instructors. They make the workout enjoyable and seeing them re-occur in Leslie's videos is like exercising with your buddies.

- The music is pretty good. I especially like the Lone Ranger-like theme music that is played during the thrid mile where the music speeds up so you can walk at a much brisker pace for more fat burning. More fat burning is always a plus in my book. Even with lower impact/intensity workouts!

- Leslie is encouraging and gently pushes you to increase the intensity from time to time in a non-intimidating manner. This is particulary great for beginners wanting to go to the next level. It is also good for advanced exercisers who want to get in a good but less intense workout.

Dislikes:
- Florine Mark! I know she is with the Weight Watchers Organization and I guess that is the reason for her apperance but she is really annoying. She talks way too much during the workout. I wouldn't have minded her talking if she had something valuable to add about the exercises. Just goes to show you that the talking should definitely be left to the fitness professionals. I was too happy she was booted out after the first mile!

- I found the set kind of depressing. It is an all white set with some huge blown up black and white pictures of Leslie and Florine. Another reason why I was glad to see Leslie's exercise buds in this workout. It gave me something else to look at besides those pictures!

- Not enough of a stretch at the end.

To sum it up, this is a pretty good workout. It's no party in a box but it gets the job done. I would find myself doing it more often if they came out with it in a chaptered dvd format. Most of Leslie's older videos are now coming out on dvd and this one was copyrighted in 2000 so hopefully a Walk off Weight at Home on dvd is in the works.

Instructor Comments:
Leslie has a high likability factor. She's friendly and easy to work out to. You feel as if you are working out with an exercise buddy more than an instructor. Many people refer to her as being chatty and while she does indeed talk a lot, I consider her chattiness to be uplifting and inspirational and not just mindless, fill-in the time talk.
