Walk Away The Pounds



Recommended Posts

I don't know if anyone else on here does Walk away the pounds by Leslie Sansone. But I love it!

I have the 1 mile walk, 2 mile walk, and I am planning to get 3 and 4.

I love the stretchy band and how she cordinates upper body with walking and not just walking.

Kicking, lifting your knees. It's actually a wonderfully awesome healthy workout.

Anyone else do these videos?:confused2:

I have used her videos for years - the years that i have been 'good' that is! I use the 3-miles (both with weights, and with stretchy cord) and this past winter i got the 5-mile one. Now that the weather is good, i'm doing more outdoor activity; but I love Leslie when i can't be active outdoors.

I track my 'miles' on a calendar and also on a spreadsheet; last December 22 I started a 'virtual journey' through Europe; starting on the Baltic Sea, and keeping track of my 'miles' as I head towards Istanbul. I color in countries on a map as I enter new countries.

I have used www.michelin.com to 'plan' my journey, and know how many miles it will take from the border of one country to the next.

I guess I need to update my profie; I had my lapband on October 24, but it's been a lot longer than that since I logged onto this site!

I have it too! It has the 1,2, and 3 mile together on 2 dvd's with the stretchy band. I thought it was corny at first, but it's a boost when I don't feel like being outside or I don't want to go to the gym. Or I'm having and "ugly" day when I don't want other people to watch me workout. I think they're great...the music is cheesy but I know all the beats and tempo changes and I have grown to love it.

Hi! Yes, I do these dvd's and I love them. The one mile is just enough to make you feel like you are doing something when you don't have enough time. Where are you in your journey?

I'm on my 2nd month of my 6 month diet for insurance. I wish I was further along...but can't do anything about it. After the diet I should be having surgery in November.

Hey, I'm glad you said something. I had forgotten all about them. I have miles 1-3, but they must still be in a box somewhere. We moved a while back and I haven't seen them. I used to do them all the time. I agree with what someone else said, she gets on my nerves with all of her talking and laughing. I actually turn the volume down. I might dig them out and try doing it with my ipod. :w00t:

She is annoying, I guess she figures she has to say something since she is getting paid. But, does she really have to say so much? A co-worker and I do them daily whichever one we have time for. I love the upperbody on the 3 mile the best, it's not easy but it does get you PUMPIN! I am only 5 days out of surgery but do plan to start back up with the 1 mile on Monday and see how it goes. Think I'll pass on the stretchy band part though for now.

Hi, I haven't been to my first visit yet (June 24th) but at the orientation we were advised of all to have done and our insurance requires you to loose 5% of your weight before surgery. I am glad it is not 6 months BUT might as well get used to the new eating pattern as soon as possible. Our surgeon asks us to go on the South Beach Diet and I am in the strict 2 week phase but have already lost 10 pounds. Good luck.

I love her tapes. Fast paced and fun. Doesn't feel like exercise.

Yeah, her tapes are pretty nice. Hehe, good exercise.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
