Questions with 'Walk at Home' Expert Leslie Sansone. A few weeks ago, we asked you if you had any questions for legendary walking expert Leslie Sansone. Today, Leslie is delivering answers and giving some great insights on fitness! We're a HUGE fan of Leslie's work (you can see our past interview with her here), and we're so honored that she took the time to answer questions again, both from us and from YOU! LS: First, let me give a BIG SHOUT OUT to the Spark. People team! WALK ON, my friends at Spark. People! 1. SP: How do you continue to innovate your workout programs and DVDs to keep them new and interesting for your tried and true fans? LS: What every group exercise leader LOVES is to create new and motivating ways to keep people active and strong! I just filmed a new DVD that introduces High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to our Advanced Walkers. HIIT is defined as very short ''bursts'' of cardio (3. I keep ''walking'' as the foundation, but add what is new and popular in fitness clubs to each new routine. I crave what is new and fresh, both for me and for the Super Walkers that join me! SP: What makes your newest DVD special? LS: OMGoodness!!!! I just LOVE, LOVE (double LOVE!) our new title, Walk It Off in 3. Days. This one is beyond a workout ! This is called the ''BURN'' session and it’s equal to 2 miles of advanced walking! Buy Leslie Sansone - Walk the Walk 3-DVD Set (Miracle Mile / Two Mile Walk / Weight Loss Walk 4 Miles). WALK at Home is the #1 indoor walk fitness. Walking is one of the simplest ways to get more exercise and offers many benefits for. You can walk off weight at. But the big, BIG feature on this DVD is the 3. FIRM'' session! Especially as the years fly by, I really see the need for basic strength training in my own routine ! I am planning a 3. Day Challenge on Twitter in late September featuring this DVD! SP: Do you have an all- time favorite title from among all of your walking DVDs (and why)? LS: Hmmmmm. We filmed it because of a request from one of my class members (Jean). She was going on vacation and didn’t want to miss a class (this was in 1. Jean’s request is why I am here today, and I'm so thrilled to be the Walk Coach to millions! That video and class was titled ''Walk Aerobics'' and it went on to be released nationally at the same time that Jane Fonda released her first VHS workout. No one knew it was the beginning of a Walk Movement that would last decades and impact many! SP: Why does ''walking at home'' appeal to so many people? Then I discovered the DVD. I found Leslie Sansone on Exercise. Not only did the 'Walk At Home' program help me achieve my weight loss.LS: WALKING RULES! Extreme exercise is good for some stages of life, sure. But walking will always be a smart choice for long- term wellness and weight loss! And working out at home rules, too! The convenience of walking ''miles'' in your living room, without a treadmill or any other equipment needed, is excuse- proof. You can walk any time, day or night! Finally, affordable fitness is so important for everyone to have an opportunity to choose an active life. Can a DVD really impact your cost of living?? You better believe it! People that exercise have fewer health care costs, fewer sick days, etc. It’s cheap to be well, and it's expensive to be out of shape and de- conditioned! We have to WALK more, people! SP: Besides the walking component, what is the #1 thing you'd recommend people do to get the most results from your programs? LS: Rotate! I add strength training and flexibility in each workout to get the best overall conditioning for all muscles, starting with the most important muscle: the heart. I want our fans to choose 3 or 4 DVDs to rotate through the week. That is a sure way to get all 6. I believe atrophied muscle is one of our biggest health concerns. It creates a whole host of problems, from disease to weight gain! Our bodies don’t MOVE most of the day- -we are all on screens! 102 results for leslie sansone 3 mile walk.

Factory sealed DVD: Similar Items. SP: What do you prefer for your own workouts: walking inside or walking outdoors? LS: I created effective walking workouts that we can all do on days when exercising outdoors is not an option. It's much more science- based fitness than a stroll around the neighborhood. These workouts operate at the speed we need for aerobic benefits. They challenge muscles in a way that outdoor walking doesn’t. My own plan each week is to do 3 or 4 workouts from the DVDs. Then, on the weekends, my sister and I go for a walk at one of our favorite parks or ride bikes if weather allows. We all need variety and I love the extra time on weekends to do some fun activity! Aimee M.: When I was at my heaviest, this was the first real exercise I did.. Leslie! Somehow a walk seemed less intimidating. I still revisit your videos when I can't go for a run or make it to kickboxing. I would like to know if you've ever considered having larger people in your videos to show that this is a workout that could be done by anyone at any fitness level. Kathi B.: Where do you get the people who do your workouts on the DVDs with you? I really like Carl in one of them. He's so funny and you pick on him and he picks right back. Look like nice people. LS: AIMEE & KATHI!!!! Thank you for the kind words and questions! I am so happy to hear you mention Carl! He was one of my fave walkers on the DVDs! It just so happens that he is married to Regina (also in the DVD Active Adults 2 Mile Walk. Regina is a BEAUTIFUL example of all sizes and shapes taking good care of her health!) I love your suggestion, Aimee. We so often show the ''afters'' of our walkers' journey. So many have transformed their health, and maybe we are due to show the many stages of an active life—all sizes, all ages. Thanks for reminding me! From our early days of production to now, the process of casting the DVDs has really evolved. I am so happy that we work with the best fitness production companies and collaborate with our distributors to bring at- home walkers the BEST experience on video. Today, choosing the cast involves both recruiting from our Walk Fans (our Walk Leaders) and also from the fitness community. We have had a children’s dance instructor, a kickboxing leader, and a Zumba instructor in the DVDs. We need ''all walks of life'' to give the best presentation! Shundea A: How are the miles calculated in your different workouts (1, 2, 3, 4 mile walks, etc.)? LS: LOVE the question, Shundea! I engineer the music to average about 1. It’s what makes our walks so effective- -we keep you at a speed to get results! Angela C.: What's your advice for a busy mom on how to stay motivated? Or rather get up off my butt and turn the DVR on? LS: Angela! Did you know that even five minutes of brisk walking can impact your blood pressure, improve your mood, improve energy, carry nutrients to cells for healthy skin, hair and nails, communicate to core muscles for a trim tummy? Would you put on your walking shoes this minute- -lace up the kids, too- -and give me just five minutes?! Patty O.: I would like to know approximately the number of calories burned during some of your DVDs. I am currently doing the 4- mile workout. When you say these 4 miles will work off a meal, approximately how many calories per meal would you be referring to? LS: Hi, Patty!! I love an opportunity to remind all health seekers to BURN MORE CALORIES- -that really is the secret to a healthy life! So, finding workouts that give the best calorie burn is important! HOWEVER, exercise science allows us to offer a range of calorie burn that is pretty close to what would be the ''actual'' amount of calories burned by the human body! All that said, you can expect to burn 1. There is continued muscle activity for hours after any challenging workout!) If you burn about 4. I can promise you that you have made a big impact on the calories of a meal, and it will show up in weight loss or weight maintenance. Just keep walking, Patty. Teri B.: How about exercises for active people with arthritic knees? LS: Hi, Teri! Don’t ever give up seeking the exercise program that helps you to feel strong and pain- free, or at least relieved from the discomfort of achy joints! I can say that science supports the fact that a regular physical activity routine is critical to how we will all live out our future days. You are making an AMAZING choice to be active, even with a condition that challenges you! Ask your doctor about mild fitness walking combined with strength training. It's so important to keep muscles strong to support the joints; many report that conditioning muscles eases discomfort and can stop the progression of joint disease! Kathi B.: I would love to get some of your workout clothes! Will you ever have a line of ''Walk at Home'' clothing? Karen U.: When will the sparkly ''WALK'' shirts come out? LS: LOL!!! Kathi & Karen, you are so precious!!!! See www. walkathome. Walk Wear! 1. 3. Christine L.: Any chance there will be a Leslie Sansone for Wii ! That would really be the point that my kids say, ''That’s enough, mom!!! Now you are walking on my Wii!!'' Thanks for the suggestion, sweetie ! Get moving with Leslie's latest DVD, Walk It Off in 3. Days. You heard the woman- -get out there (or in your living room) and walk!
