Leslie Sansone has a series of indoors walking workout videos designed for those with limited space to get a walking workout without a treadmill. All you need to do is clear a space in front of the TV or computer monitor and play the video or DVD to be led through a workout. These workouts burn calories and tone muscles. If you are training for a long walk, these videos do not substitute for training outdoors or on a treadmill as different muscles are worked.
1. Leslie Sansone: Get Up and Get Started 1 Mile Walk
Leslie Sansone shows you the basics of walking, including posture. A brisk 1-mile walk will burn calories and condition your heart. This is a good intro to the "Walk Away the Pounds" program. Leslie also introduces using weights to increase your workout. I think this is appropriate for a 1-mile in-home workout, but I do not recommend weights for longer walks outdoors. This is where they belong - where you can control your posture and form.
2. Two Mile Walk with Leslie Sansone
For the intermediate level, the 2-mile walk brings you 35 minutes of brisk walking, plus toning exercises. This 1996 release in DVD and VHS is considered by some users to the best. This is also available as a DVD including the 1-Mile Walk.3. WalkingStrong
Tracey Staehle leads walkers through a 55 minute workout, showing it performed on a treadmill or while walking in place. She demonstrates a workout for advanced exercisers while Bobbi shows how beginners would do it and Jill demonstrates it while walking in place. The workout includes light dumbbells for an upper body, lower body, and cardio workout.4. Weight Loss Walk with Leslie Sansone
You can walk up to four miles with this DVD or VHS video. It has three workouts that you can do by themselves or combined. The first workout is a 20-minute easy walk. The next two workouts are 1.5 miles with some moves of higher difficulty. The look is a bit dated as it is remastered from a 1992 workout. Also, she doesn't mirror your moves - when she says left she moves her left, not yours.5. 3-Pack: Walk the Walk
This 3-pack includes 2 DVDs or 3 VHS videos including the Miracle Mile Walk, Two Mile Walk, and Weight Loss Walk as described above. If you find you enjoy Leslie's walking videos, this is a good set to keep you moving.6. Walk Away the Pounds 3-Pack
A collection of all three Walk Away the Pounds programs with Leslie Sansone. Includes "Get up and Get Started," "High Calorie Burn" and "Super Fat Burning." One version also comes with her Walk Away Belt.7. Walk Away the Pounds: Super Fat Burning
This 3-mile workout adds light hand weights to include moves for a full body workout. I do not recommend hand weights for outdoors walks or longer walks due to risk of injury. A good controlled workout indoors with this video is the right way to use weights, as your posture and form are controlled and coached by Leslie Sansone. You can also skip using the weights and still get a great cardio workout with this video. Available in DVD and VHS.8. Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the Pounds Express 3-Pack
This pack includes "1 Mile Easy Walk," "2 Mile Brisk Walk," and "3 Mile Advanced Walk". A stretchie band for stretching and toning is included to boost your workout. I generally prefer people to use the stretchie band rather than weights. Available in DVD or VHS video.9. Stott Pilates: Walking Pilates Calorie Burning Workout
This video combines and indoors walking workout with beginner-level mat exercises for Pilates. Our Guide to Pilates reviewed it and says the walking workout is of moderate intensity and easy to follow.10. Get Moving! Walking for Weight Loss
Fitness instructor Madeleine Lewis presents four ten-minute indoors walking workouts. She presents each workout for three different levels so that walkers can choose their intensity level.
