DVD Reviews of Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home: Walk Your Belly Flat
DVD Review: Beginners can do it, but fitness buffs will love it & burn loads of calories too
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone with a large collection of fitness dvds, walking dvds can be either hit or miss. Some can be boring and redundant while others can bring in strangely complicated choreography for something called "walking"...This hit the bullseye for energy and interest but it actually had a high caloric burn as well!
CALORIE BURN: I wear a bodybugg to measure my daily calorie burn. Because of this, it also enables me to compare the calorie burn of all my workouts as to how many calories they burn not only during the workout, but per minute. I mention this only so that you know what I say is based upon measurement rather than perceived exertion...while there is no plyometrics and joint straining moves like "mountain climbers", she combines more simple moves with hand movements at a pace fast enough to ensure your heart stays in the target zone and the calories are revved. I didn't feel as though I was worn out, working as hard as when I do my intense aerobics, yet I have to say this burned a LOT of calories in whatever time span you choose to do it. That made it quite impressive because, especially if you've had some days of strength training, this is not hard on your muscles or joints, yet achieves just what it should.
INSTRUCTOR: I couldn't put my finger on why I liked this instructor for the longest time and why she seemed different...I think the best analogy I can give is if you watch "The Biggest Loser" you see how the trainer Bob seems to not be "acting" for the camera or being anything but genuine, yet Jillian does. Often there seems to be some nervousness or "over the top" dialogue from trainers on dvds. Instead, this one seemed to be as though you were in a room with a friend who was showing you a routine she does. I can't quite put my finger on how to relay that...other than she seemed like she had done the routine a million times due to her comfort level, yet that she still loved it due to her energy. Often trainers fill up every empty second with words like "that's it" "you've got it" "you remember this" "You are doing awesome" etc...this one didn't seem to need to do that...she just spoke comfortably throughout with good reminders of how to do it right as well. Don't get me wrong, she still pushed you and encouraged you but didn't use the words just to fill an empty silence because of not thinking of anything else to say.
SET: They kinda went all out for this video...It looks like an upscale studio. 12 foot letters spell out "walk" on the back wall, motivational words flash across the screen, there is a big blow up of the instructor with someone on the left wall, you see REAL cars outside a window so you know it's not a set, a clock counts down how far you have walked and lets you know when you have hit a mile or two. Very different. I wondered if she has her own upscale studio and does these routines in this place.
MUSIC: Typically in workout dvds you have something made for the dvd that can be a little monotonous and all "electronica", but this was more like there was a dj putting on different tracks. Still background music, but it switched it up for interest and it kept it different and the pace of the music also increased as the pace of the steps did.
MOVES: When I say this it sounds so boring but I have little attentioin span when I work out, no matter how often I do it, and this is one of the few that kept it up the whole time so I'm trying to get the best wording when I say that it's easy choreography (and when I say "choreography" do not think you'll be tripped up once...you won't.) with moves that are all variations of walking...kick backs, knee lifts, grapevine, etc etc with arm movements. You WILL be able to follow her. So much so that she says "We don't tell you which leg you need to start with. It makes no difference. They both get worked out anyway" and then she'll say something like "kick backs" and it truly doesn't matter which leg you start with. Her moves are made so that you don't have to rewind to figure out how to "put the steps together" or worry about keeping it. Yet it's a true workout. She has really taken the best of routines and made it easy for all to do but still garner great results.
WHAT YOU GET:
A warm up
A brisk 4-5 mph pace of moves that I found fun
Mile Markers in the video celebrate when you've hit your mile mark of choice and allow you to keep going til you do
Compound Muscle Movements ensure you hit more muscle groups than regular walking
Cool Down Walk
Stretch
bonus "super sculpt the belly" floor work
total running time:53 minutes
I think few dvds can take you from beginner to being someone who works out daily and still feel your needs but I think this one can and still keep your interest.
If it's your only dvd, I would suggest adding another into your mix with some strength training or a circuit that has a combo of cardio and strength training in order to tighten and tone, but this will offer easy to follow fat burning.
NEGATIVES: I wish that she had included more standing ab work rather than limiting it to a different section. This workout will help you lose ab fat and she discusses that often, but there are still some twisting moves that can be done while doing simple walking moves that could further tighten your core as well. This is a minor thing, but no dvd is perfect so I like to cover all bases that someone may look for.
CONCLUSION: A good solid workout for any level. Enjoyable, good energy, perfect easy to follow cueing, good calorie burn
