What a Workout - not for beginners
I love Leslie Sansone. She saved my life! Doing her workouts, I have lost forty pounds and have continued to maintain the weight loss. I have ten, maybe fifteen, of her DVDs. I was excited to see the writeup on this latest DVD and preordered it through Amazon. Well, it arrived today and I hit the ground running.
The DVD is in two segments - you are supposed to do segment one on M, W, F - this is the cardio segment with lots of our favorite moves but to a super quick pace. The music is much improved but it is fast. Leslie also does some new moves, bounces, skaters (side steps with a toe touch to the back) and a cha cha move. There are a mix of people with her - none of our old favorites however. There is also a brief cool down.
The second segment is the weight segment. You are supposed to do this segment on T, Th, Sat. (taking Sunday off). After a brief cardio warmup, you pick up your dumbbells - I used two 5 pounders - and you squat and squat and squat some more - If you don't like squats, you won't like this. And after squats, you do lunges. Killer! Leslie also does some floor exercises with the weights as well. That's it!
Because it was new and I wanted to write a review, I did both segments. I did sweat a lot - a real lot - but I was able to get through both segments one after the other. This is not your normal Leslie DVD, and I thank her for putting out something that is more challenging and mixes things up a bit. A give it FIVE stars.
