Editorial Reviews:

Lower- and upper-body muscles are worked separately, sometimes using weights, in this 45-minute video (set in a living room) from 1992. Segment one is for the lower body, and although there are weights beside her on the rug, the routine is traditional floor work, with instructor Leslie Sansone lying on her side or on her elbows and knees doing leg lifts, kicks, and presses. She only uses a dumbbell in this section to occasionally rest it on her thigh or behind her knee as she continues the floor-work routine. There is no warm-up at the beginning or lower-body stretch at the end. Segment two, for upper body, starts with pushups (again no warm-up), then a few shoulder exercises with dumbbells, followed by biceps and triceps. There are no exercises for the back: the most underused muscles for most of us. Sansone and her assistants do these exercises sitting cross-legged on the floor, a position that is more likely to stress the lower back (especially when she doesn't emphasize keeping the back neutral) than standing or sitting in a chair. A short abdominal routine is adequate but does not stress proper form. Segment three uses weights for squats and lunges, but without any instruction about proper form. In fact, a side view shows that she is doing the squats incorrectly herself, letting her knees go forward of her toes. Then it's back to floor work and abdominals. This video is obviously geared to beginners, but the lack of attention to technique and alignment make it a less desirable choice than the many fine muscle-strengthening videos available. --Joan Price

Summary: Great work out
Comment: Great workout for firming. Many options to choose from for target area firming, or play the whole program

Summary: Not a walking video
Comment: First of all, there is no walking in this video, so to have "Walk" in the title is a bit misleading. There are three toning segments that are about 20 minutes apiece, and there is no warm-up or stretching afterwards. With so many great toning videos out there, don't waste your money on this one.

Summary: Great for toning
Comment: I think this is a great tape for toning. The segments really pack a lot of exercises into 20 minutes. Coupled with an aerobic exercise, this is really shaping me up. Leslie does jabber on a bit -- but she leads a good workout.

Summary: Better than "Firm Off Weight"--get this one instead!
Comment: Sure, this video doesn't have a warmup, cool down or stretching, but it is still a good strength tape. I like to use it after a cardio video when I'm already warmed up. Afterwards I either do my own stretches or put in a stretching video.

This video has 3 sections. The first one has challenging floorwork. I don't even have to put on ankle weights to feel the burn. Great for the thighs and glutes! The second segment is all upper body. She is sitting in an awkward position for these exercises, and left out back work, so I gave this video a 4 star rating. The last section is lunges, squats, and abs. She does the lunges nice and slow, and I was surprised on how much I felt it the next day. I have many other videos, where the lunges are faster, and I just don't feel the benefit of the exercise, except for this video!
