highly recommended

Well I remembered back when I was in great shape that a friend of mine often did some of leslie's videos. Back then I found them not challenging enough. But at the weight I am now I have found it extrememly hard to exercise, even just walking on the treadmill which I think is boring and I've always hated it.

I almost bought this video a few times and put it back thinking it would be just like all the other "beginner" videos I had tried before. So many of them were completly beyond what I could do that they left me feeling overwhelmed and defeated not being able to keep up or complete them.

Thank god I finally bought this one. I've only had it 3 days but I couldn't be happier. The first time I put it in I expected the worst and got the best! This is the first workout I've completed in a couple of years and let me tell you it felt great mentally and physically!!

The moves couldn't be more simple and the time goes so fast you won't believe it. I honestly thought she was still warming up when it showed the meter thingee saying you were half done!! It is completly doable for me and I am in the worst shape(out of breath just walking across the room). So if I can do it I know you can.

Another great thing is Leslie isn't nearly as annoying as some of those other bouncy instructors. Yes,it is dorky at times but I just try to overlook it.

So please if you are like me and feel like you don't know where to start....START HERE!!! Trust me you will be so glad you did!

Short and simple walking program great for beginners

Easy walk is a simple cardio walking workout which also incorporates a strechie band to work on upper body strengthening as you walk. The program contains about 16 minutes of walking followed by a 2 minute stretch. The walking part includes Leslie's 4 basic steps--walk (march), side step, front kick, and knee up--and spends some time at a brisker pace, although Leslie constantly encourages you to go at your own pace. The band is used for just a few exercises in the second half mile; you can change the resistance on the band, substitute light dumbbells, or skip the band altogether. This would be an especially nice program for beginners, although more advanced exercises can up the intensity and still work up a sweat. Highly recommended.

Great beginner's workout

I recommend this video for a newbie who wants an easy way to start exercising, or for a pro who just wants to get in a quick 15-minute workout in the comfort of her/his own home.

I live in a second-floor apartment, so I was concerned about getting a good exercise video that wouldn't disturb my downstairs neighbors. WATP is great for this reason. The moves never require a lot of bouncing around. The video requires you to walk in place, and alternate this with various stretches.

I never thought the video was too tough; in fact, it was a simple motivating workout with just the right intensity level I was looking for.

I'd especially recommend the WATP Success 3-pack of videos that comes with the "Stretchie" band. This set includes the one-mile walk, as well as two-mile and three-mile walks.

GREAT!

I loved this video! It was very easy to walk with. The time goes by very fast. If you just want to do an easy exersise, this is the one to do! Leslie is very ease to watch! She talks through the video, but it is not constant. I find this video very enjoyable. I even look forward to it after a long days work. How many people can say that! By the time the exersise is over, I can feel how it has worked on my muscles.


Great for beginners or getting back in shape

I am a busy mom with a 3 year old son, and I find it very difficult to exercise on a regular basis. I purchased this video because of the positive reviews I read here at Amazon and because the video is quite short (15 minutes). I figured I'd have no excuses to skip exercising anymore. And you know, I was right.

This video is terrific for someone who isn't used to exercising regularly. It starts out with a very comfortable walking pace. During the warm up, Leslie shows you the different variations on the walking steps you will use. Although she doesn't cover them all right here, they are EASY. As you reach the 1/2 mile point, a progress bar appears on the screen. The walk becomes brisker in the middle and can be a little bit hard to keep up with on your first viewing, but it isn't important to be exactly in step with the video. As Leslie emphasises, the point is to keep moving.

The video features a lot of people (age 27 to 70 as I recall), and with a range of body shapes and sizes. Leslie is bubbly, but not too annoying, and she is middle aged. Yay! (She's a far cry from a 20-somthing twinkie in a thong leotard). You can't help but be inspired by all the walkers on this video. They all seem to care about themselves.

The cool down portion of the video features optional exercises you can do with your arms while walking. They require a stretchy fitness band (that I believe comes with the video when purchased new, although I got mine from an Amazon Marketplace seller used). It's somewhat tricky to do the exercises and stay in step, so I usually stop trying to keep pace with the other walkers at this point. It's the cool down anyway. At the end of the video, you feel as if you've really gotten active, and best of all, you only needed to find room for 15 minutes out of your day.

I would have given this video 5 stars, but I am not happy with some of the music used during the walk. I feel they should have chosen something with a very strong beat so that I can turn down the volume and still be able to follow it (what if I want to exercise while my son naps?). However, to their credit, they don't make you listen to the same monotonous music the whole time.

Give this video a try before you say you don't have time to exercise!
