Leslie's Walking Down Your Blood Sugar

Motivational!

Hearing of the successes of the walkers on this DVD is so motivational. I love it. The workout is tops. You just can't go wrong with Leslie. - posted by Lori on 7/22/2008

Leslie best ever!

I've had this DvD for 6 months now and love it. I love the workout even though I'm not a diabetic. I like the way it brought my blood pressure down to almost mormal. - posted by Linda on 6/15/2008

Great info for diabetics

I bought this for my father, who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes after a stroke. He has since recovered completely from the stroke, but of course now has the diabetes to control. Soon after the stroke, I loaned him several Leslie dvds which he did and I credit her with helping him regain his balance after the stroke. I like this dvd because it speaks directly to diabetics. He enjoys the dvd and that is a key to whether he will do it or not. I think this one is his favorite. - posted by Rebecca on 5/22/2008

Exercise is the Key

I have been exercising with Leslie Sansone's videos for about 3 or 4 years now. As a diabetic, I found that exercise is the key for me to maintain good control. I have had varying success with my eating - so my weight hasn't really changed very much (and yes I do need to lose weight), but since I started exercising 6 days a week with Leslie's Walking workouts my HA1C went from 7.6 which is dangerously high to 6.1 which is very good control. And although, I do her 1, 2, 3 and 4 mile workouts now, at first I was just doing 1 mile a day. So even a little exercise can make a huge difference. I really like this DVD because it is addressed specifically to diabetics. I enjoy hearing the other exercisers' success stories and as always Leslie is very motivating and inspiring. The great thing about Leslie's videos is anyone can do them and as she always says, "you can't do it wrong just as long as you keep moving". - posted by Michele on 5/18/2008

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.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

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.

Specialty: Health challenges

Workouts especially designed for specific physical challenges. The moves are carefully selected and modified to address the unique needs of each physical situation.
