Upbeat instructor Leslie Sansone is back with this latest addition to her indoor walking series, featuring a trio of segments that when combined add up to a three-mile workout (around 15 minutes per mile). Backed by a group of 10 women and men who spiritedly mirror Sansone's moves and energy, Walking Off the Pounds presents a warm-up intro with walking in place, sidestep, kicks, knee lifts, and side taps. Noting “it does not matter if it's right or left, you can't do this program wrong,” Sansone and crew incorporate arm reaches, hip touches, hamstring curls, lunges, turns, hip swivels, and step-taps, adding intensity and speed along the way. Also featuring a cool-down walk and the mat-based “Healthy Abs & Back Session,” this solid program finds Sansone offering tips and encouragement throughout, reminding viewers that “any time you feel like walking, it's the right time.” Recommended. [Note: also newly available in the Leslie Sansone—Just Walk series is 5 Boosted Miles!] Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
