Leslie Sansone: The Tone Every Zone Walk

**DVD Menu**Play All ( With the option of music only)Circuit 1 - Walk & Upper Body ( With the option of music only)Circuit 2 - Walk & Lower Body ( With the option of music only)Circuit 3 - Fast Walk ( With the option of music only)One thing I noticed is that she's sort of moving away from her traditional mile-structured workouts. There is no time clock in this. There are various new faces of people as well as those you'll recognize, such as Suzy, Marvin, and Janet from Walk To the Hits. Wendy from Five Mega Miles, Carrie from various workouts like her colorful miles, 3 mega miles, and 4-mile power walk. And Nick, the guy always smiling so big. The music is okay. Some of it was awkward, but half of it were some I recognize from her very old DVDs. Her voice and the music balance well together.**Circuit 1**You immediately start up with a fast warm-up, and I say fast becuase it was already fast-pace. Maybe it wasn't even a warm-up. You then move on to upper body sculpt. I would suggest stay within 3 to 5 pound weights. If you're used to weightlifting, go ahead and bump it up. But I had to switch between sets becuase she tired me out. I have to admit, I didn't think she'd really have me tired because her sculpt videos are not that strong. But I believe this surpasses her Firm 30. Afterward, you return to a 2 to 3-minute fast walk, and then you get on the ground and do some more sculpt on the mat. Afterward, there's one more fast walk. But there is no cool down. I burned 83 calories through this.**Circuit 2**It's pretty much the same as Circuit 1, only you're doing lower body sculpt. That means lunges and squats, along with staying at the bottom and pulsing for about four seconds. Those really hurt. You don't get on the floor in this. At the very last round, she'll have you doing those squats and lunges again without weights. I burned 88 calories.**Circuit 3**All it is, is a fast walk. There's no jumping or jogging. But there are shifts. Just one round of it with a side-punch. Toward the end, she'll play around and introduce all the walkers. I honestly, couldn't help but smile. However, there is no stretch at the end. She said she'll leave that up to you. I burned 115 calories.Overall, I think it could have been better organized. What I didn't like was her being off step a lot. Scenes would change and all of the sudden, people are not going with the music, or she changed her step without you knowing. But I was very impressed with the arm toning. I just wish it was a little longer. But I've been a walker for a long time now. So, I pretty much collect almost ever DVD she releases.

Amazing split section workout.. I've been doing Leslie's workout for a very long time and her workout videos do work to loose weight.. every time I need to loose some pounds I go back to the walk away the pounds dvds and use them in different days.. I own quite a few so I choose a DVD depending on my training schedule or time I have.. my favorite is the burn to the beat I love it after the workout there is a bonus section for core which targets all abs, I combine that with this tone every zone and is the perfect workout for the week.. also I eat healthy balance meals I cut down my dairy, bread and sugar consumption by half and stay away from process food which is the biggest culprit in food and one of the major cause of stomach problems and weight gain..

I'm a big fan of Jessica Smith and have all of her DVD's but I like variety so I decided to try Leslie Sansone. The first LS DVD that I purchased was Walk It Off in 30 Days. If you have seen my glowing review, you know that I absolutely love it! This one incorporates strength training in two segments; both lower and upper body and the third segment is a fast-paced 20 minute walk. I did the whole 60 minutes together for a complete workout session. I would estimate that I burned about 250-300 kcals.The lower segment focuses on the big muscles of the lower body using very few moves. Leslie keeps things simple with squats, lunges, and plies - that's about it. These moves are the biggies that really burn calories and fatigue the muscle.The upper segment focuses mainly on chest, back, and shoulders with a bit of biceps and triceps - again, the moves are simple but you get the most bang for your buck by using them. I was fatigued by the end but only because I used heavier weights (8 - 10 lbs.). I'm at an intermediate level and am used to doing these moves so if you're a beginner use light weights at first.Leslie also incorporates walking into these strength segments which I found very helpful to stretch out my muscles and get some cardio in. Cardio and strength together is great for boosting metabolism and calorie burn.The last segment of fast-paced walking is just fun to do. Leslie walks with a large groups and there's chatting and laughing and everyone is just having a ball. Leslie meets and greets everyone at the end of the segment and I just had to smile. It honestly felt like I was walking with a group of friends - very enjoyable and fun! That's how working out should be - it should never be something that you hate doing. It took me forever to figure this out...really. It makes sense: If you don't look forward to doing it, you will never stick with it and it's just such a drag. Find exercise that you love to do, and you will naturally lose weight without even having to think about it.Anyone at any fitness level can do these workouts - younger, older, whoever, whatever. This is a great place to start for beginners but if you are more advanced, just add more weight and amp up the cardio in the walking segment. Adding hand weights is a terrific way to burn more calories too.

I will say that if you are advanced with working out these are probably not for you. But I will say for me I am still over 100 pounds over weight. I have lost 16.5 pounds so far using a few different Leslie dvds and eating right and taking a 30 minute walks on most week nights when I can. This one is a little challenging for me because it isn't all walking it's also strength training. There are a lot of squats and lunges in the lower body section. So if you cannot do those then this one will not be right for you. I will also say Leslie is also slightly annoying at times to me. But it's nothing I cant handle. With certain dvds you can choose the option to walk with just music but I do not really like to do that because then I do not know what's coming next and I get slightly behind for a second. Other than that I feel like it is a good work out for me. If you aren't sure just try it. They are relatively inexpensive to buy the dvds.

this is a great dvd . being able to do weight training and walking on one dvd is great. The only part I didn't enjoy was the walk at the end of the dvd where there is so much talking and someone else takes over and the routine is so muddled up it is difficult to follow. apart from that I would recommend this if you want to use weights and do power walking in-between.

Only buy this if your DVD player plays region 1 DVDs. it contains some great workouts combing walking with strength training. Recommend if you have some weights.

Brilliant

This program has quickly become one of my favourite exercise DVDs. I am a senior with osteoarthritis in my knees. The DVD is divided up into Upper Body, Lower Body and a Fast Walk: 20 minutes each. Because of my knees, I am unable to do the lower body workout. But the upper body and fast walk workouts are great. I do one right after the other, for a super 40 minute session. About a year ago, my upper body strength was abysmal, but since I have been working with weights I have much more confidence that I can keep myself safer. On a number of occasions, I have been able to save myself from bad falls and I attribute that to simply being stronger. I have the ability to catch myself and grab onto something before I face-plant myself on the floor or pavement. This particular DVD really challenges me and I look forward to becoming even more strong and fit. Thank you so much for the wonderful program, Leslie!

Diese DVD ist in drei 20-Minuten-Teile untergliedert.Erstmal kommt das "Upper-Body" Workout. Leider kann ich zu dem nichts sagen, da ich verletzungsbedingt meinen Arm nicht so bewegen darf und viele Bewegungen meiden muss.Workout 2 ist "Lower Body" Also Kniebeugen, Ausfallschritte etc. Dazwischen - wie bei Workout 1 auch - immer wieder kurze Cardioteile. Zu diesem Teil kann ich sagen, dass es mich etwas unterfordert, ich habe es zweimal hintereinander mit je 5 kg Hanteln gemacht.Workout 3 ist ein reines Cardiotraining.Mein Fazit: Zusammen, also alle drei Teile zusammen, ergeben ein tolles Training. Ansonsten ist es auch gut möglich, nur ein Workout zu wählen wenn es mal an Lust und Zeit fehlt. Die Intensität bei den ersten beiden Teilen kann man gut mit dem Gewicht der Hanteln steuern oder eben die Workouts mehrmals hintereinander abspiehlen.Mein Fazit: Gute DVD! Kann man kaufen
