About: The Walk Away The Pounds program is advertised to work by combining instructional videos, specific exercises, and a resistance band to allow you to burn 50% more calories than regular walking. It claims to be great for all fitness levels and to allow participants to progress and exercise at their own pace.
The Walk Away The Pounds Express Collection includes a One Mile Easy Walk video to get you started in the program. It also includes a 2 Mile Brisk Walk video and a 3 Mile Advanced walk video, which are more advanced and use the “Stretchie†to add a resistance component to the walk. The Stretchie is an elastic band used to aid in stretching exercises as well as to provide resistance in certain exercises. The walks can be performed in your home while watching the video as most of the exercises are stationary in nature.
Review: Personally, I am a fan of Walk Away The Pounds. It’s an easy, simple workout that can be done in your home, at work, or even on vacation. The 1 mile DVD only takes 15 minutes to complete, the 2 mile DVD takes 30 minutes, and the 3 mile DVD takes 45 minutes. My personal favorite is the 2 mile. I can definitely feel an impact without getting exhausted. The 3 mile can be challenging for me, whereas the 1 mile sometimes seem too easy. However, I use Walk Away The Pounds program often to fit exercise in throughout my day. If I have an extra half an hour, I’ll pop in the 1 mile to burn a few extra calories. I even bring Walk Away The Pounds with me on vacation and play it my portable DVD player. I can finish a short, effective workout without “exercise” affecting the enjoyment of my vacation, since I’m not one who likes to exercise while traveling.
The only negatives I have is, like any other exercise video, it can become stale and repetitive. Also, I find Leslie Sansone somewhat cheesy, especially since she talks alot. After learning the routine, I always mute the sound and play my current playlist in the background.
Overall, I think the Walk Away The Pounds program can be a great asset to any person’s weight loss routine. It is a program I currently use and will continue to use for a long time!
