Leslie Sansone: Belly Blasting Walk



Great, Higher Intensity Workout
I have one other Leslie Sansone DVD (Walk Away the Pounds Ultimate Collection) and I bought this one at Target a few weeks ago. This fast, 2 mile cardio workout is much higher intensity and higher impact than the other one. It's a 30 minute "fast 2 miles" with the middle 10 minutes or so devoted to a calorie-burning "boost" that asks you to jog in place, jog a few steps up and back, jump, and do other moves that get you up on your toes. You can modify to a lower impact if you want. I love the twist and reach movements to target my obliques. I feel like I've had a real workout after this. In addition to the cardio, there are 2 different core strengthening and sculpting floor routines; one that targets your front core (abs, obliques) and one that targets your back core (glutes, back). She doesn't do as much talking (other than instructing) on this one as she does in the other DVD I have. My only complaint is that the participants on the video are all young women (all appear to...

Great DVD for Just About Anyone!
I purchased this DVD at my local Target and was actually looking for another one of her workout programs. I came across this one and had seen it online but it was not being sold yet.

When I first tried her workouts she seemed to be more catered to an older crowd but this one definitely caters to a wide range of individuals and I appreciate that. The workouts keep you moving and you can feel them actually working! I enjoy doing this workout as I feel more challenged than her other ones. (At first I was using her 7 Day Calorie Blast DVD as a "cool down" workout after doing a Jillian Michaels workout.) Now, I just do her workouts and a few of my own afterwards and I feel like I have done a very involved workout. I look forward to doing her workouts and am more...

A bit more high impact than expected
It's nice to throw in some new moves, and Leslie does so, but just a gentle warning - this one is more high impact than her regular walking DVDs. Thinking it may be a bit too high impact for me at my current weight, but will save it for later when/if I can shed a few pounds. A little "dancier" than her other workouts. Not bad - but more of a challenge to the joints.
