This 1990 light-intensity workout, designed for beginning exercisers over 40, is extremely simple: many repetitions of marching in place, walking forward and back, step-touches, and low kicks. Leslie Sansone, chipper and cute, leads a 20-minute low-impact routine, with a five-minute warm-up and a five-minute cool-down. The workout is quite repetitious: you might march for more than 100 beats, broken up only by a few arm variations. Then you might kick 32 times. Considering all the workout videos Sansone has made, it's annoying that she cues her own left and right rather than yours (you're facing her, therefore her right is your left) and she incessantly chants the wrong "right, left, right, left." This video is for beginning exercisers who wish to keep the intensity low and don't get bored repeating the same four moves for half an hour. --Joan Price

Summary: WOW
Comment: What a wonderful way to get exercise! Total body workout with different levels to choose from. Really look forward to using it each day - don't feel bored and don't find myself looking at the clock to check how much more time I have left.

Summary: Good aerobic workout
Comment: Yes, this workout is dated, as you can tell by the outfits and the big hair. But it still, in my opinion, provides a decent aerobic workout. This is an early Leslie Sansone tape, done back when she called what she does Walkaerobics. I worked up a sweat while doing this tape and it has a good warmup and cooldown. My only question was that if it really constituted doing two miles. By my dvd counter the tape only ran about 25-26 minutes, so I'm not sure it is an actual two mile workout.

Summary: Simple yet effective
Comment: I am 47 years old and have not exercised in some time. I bought this on VHS and loved it. The program is so simple to follow that I just bought this for my 75 year old mother. The steps are very easy, but the workout is effective. It does elevate the heart rate. You can workout in your own living room with only your gym shoes for equipment.

Summary: Fuels motivation
Comment: I checked this video out at the library along with the regular two-mile walk. I absolutely love it. Yes, it's from the early 90s and there's a little too much hairspray and thick black eyeliner, but Leslie's enthusiasm and encouragement make you tend to forget about it. Now I look forward to getting up in the morning and exercising before I even start my work day. Before, it was the last thing I'd think about doing, and then it wouldn't get done at all and I'd be disappointed that I let another day go by without taking better care of myself. I found the regular two-mile walk too difficult; I thought I was going to keel over dead by the 3/4 mile mark because there were so many lunges, but the over-40 tape is just right for those of us who've kept saying "I'll start working out tomorrow." If it's a little too easy, just add some of the arm movements or knee lifts and kicks when she's instructing just marching in place (like a couple of the people in the tape do), or add some wrist or ankle weights. As Leslie says so often (to paraphrase), it's not about fancy moves, it's about keeping moving, keeping your heart rate up, changing your body for the good. I've just ordered this tape and I'll definitely buy a few more just for variety.
