Summary: Great Work Out for Beginners
Comment: I love this exercise video! Every morning it cheers me up. I end up smiling and sweating at the same time! It has such a positive message. Best of all, I can do the work out without too much trouble. It consists of alternating walking, knee lifts, side steps and gentle kicks with the music pace starting out slow and working up to a reasonable pace. The music is inspiring. The only negative would be that when the music switches pace, there are a few moments of awkward silence. I highly recommend this video!

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: Okay, I was disappointed with this one. I bought this specifically because the music was Christian. I figured it would inspire me to exercise more often because I love Christian music. Well, only part of the music is Christian songs that I recognize (and I know a lot of songs). Even worse, the instructional and encouraging voice-overs are so much louder than the music that the music disappears into the background. Truthfully, I've used it only 3 times since buying it months ago. On the positive side, the instructions are clear and easy to follow. This is definitely aimed at the over-50 crowd who has been sedentary. The steps are easy to follow and include arm swings and side-to-side movement as well as regular walking.

Summary: Much More than a Physical Workout
Comment: My wife (60 plus) discovered Leslie through a church sponsored exercise class. Not only is it a simple yet effective workout which may be easily adjusted to various levels of fitness, but it also reminds us of our need to focus on our Spiritual health. Leslie incorporates spiritual reminders, primarily postive and uplifting.
Really suitable for all ages, the church class is mainly seniors, but my wife has purchased 3 others for younger relatives.
And best of all, blood pressure, blood sugar and weight parameters have all improved. On second thought not best of all - the best result has been a better focus on Him.

Summary: Nice laid back way to sweat!
Comment: I actually bought this tape for a friend who is returning to exercise after a several year lapse- but she has knee problems, so I wanted to check out the intensity and impact of this video. This is low impact, low intensity. I did this one last night- all three miles (the viewer who mentions weights is mistaken- they are referring to a different video, there are no weights in this one). I had fun, worked up a sweat, and couldn't believe I did a three mile walk! I normally do yoga (Patricia Walden), pilates (Jennifer Kries!) and I do some form of cardio everyday (Denise Austin is a fav!). I consider myself to be in great shape. But, some days you just don't want to MOVE. Some days you don't FEEL like exercising. On those days, pop this in! You will hear some lovely Christian music, listen to a motivational speaker (she goes light on the religion), and know that you MOVED and got your heart rate up.I agree that those who do exercise regularly (me) will need to make the moves slightly bigger and more arm movements to increase intensity- but any workout can be modified. And for those who are just starting out, try the one mile, take it easy, and just see what you can do- You will be surprised at how quickly a mile passes, and how glad you will feel to know that YOU walked one MILE!
And then when you feel stronger progress to two... and then to doing all three miles at once. :-)
I like that Leslie says this workout is to help you *connect*- physicially, mentally, and *spiritually*. I think this is going to be a great workout for my friend!
