Leslie Sansone's Walk Aerobics - The Easiest Aerobic Workout DVD For Beginners

If you're a beginner at exercising and working out. Walk aerobics is just the workout for you. It's also perfect for anyone who hasn't exercised in a long time. Walk aerobics is not difficult. You don't have to learn how to do any complicated moves or dance steps. You just do as the name implies, walk. You walk to the beat of the music. You walk in place. You walk forward and back, kick, and take steps from side to side. Your arms are also incorporated in the workout. So you’ll be swinging, bending, and pumping your arms. More advanced videos incorporate short spurts of jogging in place. The moves are easy, but it's not just a leisurely 'walk in the park' either. It gets intense. You will sweat and you will bring your heart rate up, and burn a lot of calories. Walk aerobics involves some strength training, flexibility moves, cardio work, and brisk walking that burns calories.

Leslie Sansone is the fitness guru who started making walk aerobics workout videos about two decades ago. Her videos were some of the first exercise videos I ever bought. I highly recommend her workout videos. She is very interactive with the people in her videos. She's friendly, personable and keeps the rhythm going. Many of the people in her videos are middle-aged or older, but she's certainly not boring.

Remember to breathe, oxygen helps burn fat.

Leslie Sansone DVDs begin with a warm up period to stretch and warm up your muscles to get them ready for exercise. After the short warm up period you're taken into the next phase with more upbeat music with a faster tempo. Sometimes there is a third phase of an even faster tempo. At that time you will check your heart rate to be sure it is at the best level to benefit from your workout. After that level, Leslie will begin to slow down the pace of the work out before ending with a last phase of stretching and relaxing your muscles. Remember that it is imperative for you to breathe correctly throughout the entire workout. You should inhale deeply through the nose and exhale out of the mouth. The body uses oxygen to burn fat. If you forget to breathe, don't worry, Leslie will remind you. In doing her walk aerobic workout, you will walk an equivalent of two to five miles in about 20 to 30 minutes depending on which DVD you’re working out with.

This is a good workout for anyone who exercises regularly, but it’s especially for those who are beginners or those just getting back into a workout routine after a long absence. If that’s you, then you should definitely should give walk aerobics a try. Leslie Sansone has many different walk aerobic workouts to choose from. Her workouts range in levels from beginners to advanced, for both young and old.

When asked about adding a diet to her walk aerobics workouts, Leslie recommends that you start a walk aerobics workout and do it consistently for a few weeks before going on a diet. She thinks that you may find yourself losing weight without even having to go on a diet. You’ll be impressed. Especially when you experience the other health benefits of walk aerobics like lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and mental clarity.

Leslie says, "Walking is your workout for life. The foundation of fitness is great, brisk, walking workouts. Make walking your sport for life.” It think that is very good advice.

Leslie Sansone DVDs are for all age groups and for all levels of physical ability. She's done a DVD specifically for kids.
