DVD Reviews of Walk Away the Pounds for Abs [with belt]

DVD Review: GREAT Workout, Though I Question the Belt
Summary: 5 Stars

Mine has the correct DVD, in which Leslie shows you how to use the belt. My only complaint is the actual belt. Leslie goes on about how the fact that the belt is tight around your waist (yes, your waist, not your hips-- she makes that clear, I think) is enough to work your abs. Now I don't feel like I got an ab workout from this video. I also had a problem (please don't hate me) with the way the belt fits-- it is way too big for me! I am not a model, but I have a smaller than usual waist, and I have to pull it as tight the Velcro will close it and then tuck the slack in, which gets a little scratchy at times. Other than those complaints, though, the belt is great for arms. I never did the video with the weight ball, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I like the elastics.

Otherwise, I like this DVD a lot! I have not yet done the 3-mile (frankly, I don't have the time), but I LOVE the 2-mile workout. The 1-mile is good if you are out of shape, but for those who are slightly athletic, it is too easy. If you only have time to do a mile (15 minutes), then do the 1st or 2nd half of the 2-mile workout. The 2-mile workout is 30 minutes (and the 3-mile follows suit at 45 minutes), and it goes SO fast! Today I planned on doing half of the 2-mile and ended up doing the whole thing because it went so fast. This video has NO FANCY STEPS, I promise! If you can walk and do small kicks and knee lifts (which Leslie demonstrates), you can do this video. She never even does the "grapevine," a normal aerobic workout staple. This DVD is really great for those of us who have done boring and/or torturous workout videos only to retire them all too quickly.

As you may notice, I have reviewed a lot of Denise Austin tapes. I love Denise, but Leslie is a great change from her. So, Denise Austin haters, rejoice! Leslie is motivational without being overly enthusiastic or annoying. I like that there are a lot of other people (big change from Denise) of many shapes and sizes and that Leslie actually talks to them as opposed to their being decoration for the star of the show. She keeps the banter to a minimum, though, so as not to detract from the workout at hand. Leslie asks them how they feel as the video goes on, so you almost feel like you are in the room with them. It truly motivates me to put it back in and do it again the next day.

So even though I have my issues with the belt, some of which are due to my body type, I really think this is a great workout for both the upper and lower body. If you really want great abs, then I recommend any of Denise Austin's ab videos (10 minute segments are great).

ADDITION... I have since been doing the 3-mile segment daily for the past two weeks. I love it! It works so much more muscle than even the two-mile segment. Awesome, awesome awesome.
