My goal was improve my energy and stamina after spending so much time sitting at a computer (I was probably lucky if I got 2,000 steps on many days). I wanted to start slowly, was familiar with Leslie Sansone WALK videos, and purchased the Walk Aerobics for Seniors. If you are looking for glitzy sets and for models doing the exercises, this is not the video for you. Also, it does not have the current day video and sound quality. BUT I was happy to see regular senior citizens doing the walking and movements - mistakes and all. That proved to be a motivator for me. When I was going stop before the end, I couldn't wimp out because people ten or more years older and many several pounds heavier were continuing on with enthusiasm! Using this video allowed me to get stronger in the privacy of my own home. Now that the weather is warmer, I am walking outside 2+ miles 4 or five days a week. My dogs are loving it! And, I can always go back to this video when a walk outside isn't possible.

Purchased this DVD to gift to a close elderly friend. She's in her eighties but is very active (can outwalk me & I'm 39 ha) and she walks 2 miles every day. During the pandemic she's been reluctant to get out as much in her neighborhood and can't go indoors to the mall now to walk. She had mentioned she uses an aerobics DVD and I thought I'd give her this as another option. When it arrived my husband & I decided to watch it before I dropped it off at her house, well let me tell you it is a WORKOUT! We had to laugh at the dated outfits and look of the DVD but those older folks were really keeping up with the instructor! My husband said they definitely weren't newbies. I was reluctant to go ahead and give the disc to our friend but he assured me she's in such good shape she could handle it lol. I went ahead and delivered it to her and we visited with her via Zoom yesterday and she said she had tried the video and to quote her "Boy was it a WORKOUT"! she said she felt it afterwards. So as this may suit some it's definitely NOT for beginners looking for a leisurely type stroll or for anyone unsteady on their feet.

Like all of Leslie's videos, it was fun and over with so fast. She makes exercising fun.

This is an older Leslie Sansone production. The production IS rather lacking. However, it is very difficult to find workouts that are low impact and geared for people who haven't exercised in awhile or may have health issues. Like me. I had a congenital heart defect repaired by open heart surgery in 2001. I NEED to walk and exercise, however a lot of aerobic workouts simply move at a pace that is to fast for me. I end up discouraged instead of encouraged. I am supposed to walk two miles per week. I live in Florida and this is really difficult in August because of the heat. I HATE the treadmill because it makes me feel like I am falling. Forget about the gym because "gymtimidation" reigns and I cannot keep up with the classes. I used to do Leslie's videos back in the 90's before my health declined, so I thought I would give this one a try. I'm sure for people who are fit and healthy there are plenty of other videos out there that are "better" (production, cuing, music) than this one, but this one is non-intimidating and I can do it. So what you are getting here is a simple walking video. It has bare bones production values and looks to be shot some time in the late 80's or early 90's. Leslie cues her foot instead of the foot of the person at home doing the exercises. Really not that hard to figure-out and follow along and I have two left feet! However, if you are older or have health problems (like me) and need to walk, you may want to give this a try. I like it a lot and Leslie is always a delight.

This was the first Leslie Sansone walking DVD I have ever used, so I had nothing to compare it to. As a 70 year old male, I found it to be challenging, but not punishing. It took me several uses to be able to walk through the entire two miles. The elderly group Leslie was walking with encouraged me, thinking if they could do it with a smile on their faces then I could do it too. In this video, Leslie's instructions are a little less polished than her later videos, but her youthful energy and enthusiasm are infectious. After using this video 6 times a week for a month, I moved on to using a different Leslie Sansone 2 mile walk DVD for variety. Making some changes in my diet too, many if which I got from Leslie's book Eat Smart Walk Strong, I have lost 18 pounds in 13 weeks of walking with Leslie. I highly recommend this DVD to seniors or beginners if you want to lose weight and feel better.
