Time graph for Leslie Sansone's Active Adult 2-Mile Walk

An easy-to-follow in-home walking workout plus a solid abdominal/core toning program. They’re both led by a motivating and genuinely caring instructor. The first workout begins with basic cardio — simple marches, kicks and side-steps (plus some slightly more intense “power walking” routines). That’s followed by an aero/tone segment that integrates optional 1 to 3 lb. dumbbells within the aerobics to boost intensity and strengthen your upper body. Both segments focus on heart health, balance and coordination. The second workout features seniors-specific abdominal and core floorwork. You also get a motivational introduction by renown aerobics expert Dr. Kenneth Cooper. ©2005.

Leslie Sansone's Active Adult 2-Mile Walk

Great for ages 50+

This video is the perfect combination of easy choreography and just right level for ages 50+. Leslie's Active Adult 1 mile walk is too easy. Most other videos are either too hard or too complex. This video fills a gap in the exercise DVD market for "active adults" who don't want the same intensity as the 20 - 30 year old crowd but still want to get aerobic exercise. - posted by Frank on 3/27/2008

Good Way to Start Back

I bought this DVD thinking it would be a good way to ease back into excercising after a long lay-off. I was not disapointed. It is a solid walking and slight toning program for almost anyway who is ambulatory. Works well on it's own or you can alternate with one of the more basic Ellen Barrett DVD for beginner friendly workouts that are fun but not killer. - posted by Barbara on 1/23/2008

Not Just for Seniors

When I decided, at 43, to buy my very first exercise video, everything in even the beginner clips looked so strenuous and complicated, as if I'd already have to be in great shape and plus coordinated to get through it without having to be resuscitated. Then I happened to click on this one. Finally -- something I thought I'd be able to do. Over the first week I couldn't even complete the first mile, but I added a little more each day. All through the second week I've been doing the complete first mile and am going to add part of the second mile next week. I'm feeling better and stronger after just two weeks! Yesterday I ran up two flights of stairs without even breathing harder. Usually I'd walk and would be hauling myself up the last few steps. I like the way there are people of different shapes walking with Leslie and the way their "mistakes" aren't edited out. Real people aren't as coordinated as the Rockettes! I like Leslie's upbeat delivery. - posted by Alison on 1/19/2008

Good fun

I do this one on days when I am 'pooped' from driving a school bus and heavy cleaning jobs. Warms me up without wearing me out! - posted by vanessa on 1/7/2008

A great workout for an 86 year old

I gave this video to my mom 2 years ago. At first, she could only do it for about 5 minutes without getting a bit out of breath. Now she completes the entire workout, including abs, 4-6 days a week. Her blood pressure has never been lower. She is more stable on her feet and is back out visiting the neighbors. She continues to travel by herself just recently returning home from Germany. She will be 87 in January. This video has helped her to continue to live independently. She has also sent this video to (3) her friends. I receommend it to everyone! - posted by Sarah on 12/17/2007

A Great Workout

I am 48 years old with slight back and knee problems and this workout was just perfect. It is very well rounded with the weights and great abdominal section. I highly recommend this for anyone 40 and up, but younger if you have any joint problems. It is still vigorous, but gentle at the same time. - posted by Deb B on 3/26/2007

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis

Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Specialty: Seniors

Workouts especially designed for older exercisers (e.g. featuring seniors participants or older music styles). They may include all three basic exercise types: aerobics, toning and stretch.
