I just finished doing the 1 mile Walk Away The Lbs for Abs by Leslie something or other.... and I loved it!!! My mom bought me the three tape set for my b-day in April and today was the first day I opened the package.

The video/dvd set comes with three tapes 1, 2 & a 3 mile tape and an exercise band. It was easy and I completed the beginner 1 mile tape in about 20 minutes or so. It was a great way to get me started on a excercise program.

If you are looking for a program that is easy to do at home, this is a great one.

Do you just walk in front of the TV? I've never heard of that one! I like walking but I can't go out to walk as I work full time and have a 4 year old at home. I try to take him and my mum's puppies to the park at the weekends but can only go when its dry - my son doesn't like the rain (neither do the pups!!LOL!!)

Good luck on it - sounds like you might have found the one for you!!

you walk in front of the tv with her "coaching" you along. Its great for me because i can never seem to get motivated to walk outside, and now with the cold weather I can just "walk" inside.

Sounds great! It's good to find an exercise you really like.
Do you need a treadmill or do you just walk in place?

you walk in place. it is an excercise video with a women instructing you how to "walk". The basic "walk" is in walking in place, then she will add a side step and then a kick. I am not the most cordinated person , but this is so easy because this is a walking pace. she takes you through warm up, a brisk walk and a cool down. The video set came with toning bands that she incorporates into the "walk", but you don't have to use them.

I've been using the Walk Away the Pounds series that comes with the 2 pound weighted balls for a couple of years now, and I love it. I'll never forget the first time I was able to do the 3 mile tape (after a couple of months of the 1 mile and then the 2 mile). I felt so good knowing I had built up my fitness level enough to do the 3 mile one.

The one for the abs is on my holiday wish list this year

I am really going to have to look into this! I love to go walking, but there is really nowhere safe to do it around here and DH can't always go with me. I have tried different workout videos in the past, but I have no (zip, zero, nada!) coordination and get discouraged when I can't pick up the moves right away. If it is just walking and simple moves then I *think* I can handle it. Thanks for posting about this.
