Walk Away the Pounds 2 Mile High Calorie Burn
Leslie SansoneYear Released: 2001
Categories: Walking Aerobics
First off, let me admit that I rarely take
this one off the shelf, but am in
desperate need of light cardio right now
as I slowly work to attain cardio
endurance now that I am restarting.
The Walk Away the Pounds system is
based on 4 basic steps that are eassy to
pick up and even easier to follow. They
are a basic march, a side-step, a low
kick and a kick back (hamstring curl).
There is a short warm up, followed by a
brisk walk...then Leslie incorporates the
Walk Away weights, which are soft 2 lb
balls and adds a bit of basic upper body
weight work to it. Low weight, high
reps...You feel it.
The entire workout is about a half hour
long. The class is fairly large and has
people of all different backgrounds and
body types in it. the colour pink
dominates this one, which kind of
irritates me, but i'm sure that many
others will like it. the set is very nice -
studio-ish, with wood floors and pink
and wood walls.
When I am at the middle of my game,
these tapes are far too easy for me, but
for a beginner or someone whose been
away from the game for a while (like
me), this was perfect. I felt like I got
moving and I am glad I did. It may be a
while before I am back where I should
be, but I am happy to know that I have
this one on my shelf for times like
these.
Also, as an aside note, my grandmother
was just told that 300lbs on her 5 foot
4 frame is too much (something my
mom and I had been telling her for
years) and that she has to lose some
weight, so I bought her the set and she
has been using it a bit and really enjoys
it.
Instructor Comments:
She's likeable. Kinda like the lady you
babysat for when you were a teen or
your mom's best friend. (Keep in mind
- I'm 27 so I am quoting Mom's best
friend as it relates to me. Someone in
their 40's or 50's may see Leslie as
being the kind of person who might be
their own best friend....)
