VHS Movie Reviews of Leslie Sansone's Walk and Firm for Older Adults

Movie Review: My aunt lost weight
Summary: 5 Stars

And gained muscle tone. It was a great gift for her.

Movie Review: Good for Arthritic people
Summary: 5 Stars

I like this tape. I have end stage hip arthritis (need a hip replacement), & have degenerative disk disease in my back from yrs of doing extreme sports. I am now also 50# overwgt - gained it over the last few yrs because of the arthritis.

I was afraid to even start exercising, & afraid of a tape that was too fast & I'd hurt myself (like the TV show workouts I've seen)...
But I was able to get started with this, & felt invigorated after doing it, not worn out or in pain.

Leslie is kind, understanding & encouraging on the tape, this is what I needed. So to me, watching the same tape over & over, & hearing the encouragement, is good, not repetitious.

She also continually reminds & shows you how to do the exercises properly so you don't hurt yourself.

The 30 minute workout is walking, marching, some sidesteps, easy lunges (you can make them as hard as you want tho), & stretching.
This is my first exercise tape.

Good luck to you all!

Movie Review: For you, if you're out-of-shape, a little clumsy and...
Summary: 5 Stars

bored by treadmills.

I'm in my fifties, and have started exercising because I'd let myself get totally out-of-shape. Everything else besides fitness used to take priority. I still don't want to spend big bucks on a treadmill or gym membership. Using this tape, I feel a little like Goldilocks: you know, some videos were too hard, some old people videos didn't do any toning, but this one is JUST RIGHT. Sansone mentions that doing this video is equivalent to a mile and a half walk, calorie-wise. Even better, it only takes 28 minutes including cool down, and includes some mild muscle-building moves as well [lunges and weighted arm motions]. I was actually able to complete the video, even the first time, in my sorry condition, but I did raise a sweat. By halfway through I was wishing I could stop, but it felt SO good afterward.

The simple moves are klutz-proof especially since you have Sansone by herself with no distracting class. And she's such a pro! At exactly the moment I'm thinking "Why am I torturing myself with this exercise nonsense", she's saying "You made such a good choice, deciding to exercise today!" How did she know exactly when I needed to hear that? Her cuing is impeccable and she knows just what errors in form she needs to warn about.

I alternate this video with Winsor Pilates "Endless Fitness for Beginners", more of a straight strenthening workout. After two months this tape is still challenging, but I'm looking forward to the day when it will be my light workout day video and I can use one of Sansone's harder tapes regularly. If I can get into shape with this tape you can too!

Movie Review: WALK THE WALK VIDEO
Summary: 5 Stars

I STARTED WALK THE WALK 1 MILE VIDEO THE LAST OF JANUARY AND HAVE NEVER MISSED A DAY SINCE. I AM 70 YEARS OLD AND I FEEL GREAT ESPECIALLY AFTER MY DAILY MILE WALK TO THE VIDEO.

I LIVE IN APT ON 15TH FLOOR AND DO THE VIDEO ON MY PATIO AND LOOK OUT OVER SAN DIEGO AND IT IS REALLY GREAT.

I RECOMMEND IT. EDITH

Movie Review: LESLIE GIVES ME HOPE THAT I WILL DO THE WHOLE THING ONE DAY
Summary: 5 Stars

THIS IS A STEP AWAY FROM GREG SMITHEY'S EASY STRETCH. IN FACT IT IS A STEP ABOVE OR TWO. BUT? I HAVE ALMOST MADE THE WHOLE THING NOW. AND? I'M IN LOVE WITH LESLIE. I FIND HER MOST BENEFICIAL AND HELPFUL. I HAVE BOUGHT OTHER TAPES OF HERS INCLUDING WALK THE WALK WITH THE CHRISTIAN MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND. THIS TAPE THOUGH TAKES YOU THROUGH A MILE AND A HALF OF AEROBICS AND WEIGHTS. WALK THE WALK ONLY LASTS 20 MINS. (WHILE THIS ONE THIRTY,) AND HAS NO WEIGHTS. EQUALLY GOOD!

Summary of Leslie Sansone's Walk and Firm for Older Adults

Jane Fonda on Valium--that's what Leslie Sansone seems like in Walk & Firm for Older Adults. But that's a good thing, especially if you're the "older" person this half-hour is aimed at. Sansone takes you through her gentle in-home walking program with a peppy (but not too chipper) spirit on a set that looks like a barely furnished living room. She doesn't bother with a cast of dozens--it's just you and your private exercise guru. After a low-key warm-up that includes walking, mild kicks, and mini-squats, the pace picks up. Mild aerobic exercise is interspersed with firming and strengthening, using weights of 2 pounds or less. Throughout, she cautions against doing a move that seems too difficult or using a weight that feels too heavy. This is aerobics for the reluctant exerciser: The only thing that really matters is that you keep moving. --Valerie?J. Nelson
