Walk Away The Pounds Update

I have found in the past that walking is my ideal weight loss booster.  Since my treadmill is broken and it is icy outside I chose to pick up some of my older Walk Away the Pounds DVDs.  They really are great for a beginner who is out of shape and looking for a way to get started exercising.  But they are also fantastic for a quick workout for a more experienced exerciser.

I started last week with the Walk Away the Pounds 2-Pack: Super Fat Burning + Get Up and Get Started High Calorie Burn using the 2 mile section.  During the two miles you can use two 2lb weighted balls for part of the workout.  This really adds some burn and in just a weeks time I can feel some added strength in my shoulders. 

Considering  I had major surgery on my left shoulder a couple years ago this feels like a major accomplishment to me.  My shoulder is still weak and for the first couple of days I considered amputation but towards the end of the week it didn’t ache so much anymore.  I guess that is a good example of why to stick through the minor aches and discomfort.  I am not suggesting you work through major pain because you may have an injury that needs medical attention.

This morning I thought I would change it up a bit and grab another DVD.  I could have moved up to the three mile workout but thought I would have some fun with a quicker pace so I chose the Leslie Sansone Walk Slim: Fast and Firm 4 Really Big Miles.  No I didn’t jump all the way to a four mile walk. Lucky for me this DVD is sectioned into 1 mile segments.  I stuck with the two mile length because this DVD is at a much quicker pace.  I felt my breath a little shorter than last week but I think it was great to get my heart rate going.

I look forward to purchasing more DVDs fromLeslie Sansone’s Walk Away The Pounds series.  I know she has several to choose from so if neither of the two I have listed looks right for you make sure to browse around the others when you follow the links provided.

There are no more excuses.  You can walk right in your livingroom, bedroom or wherever your television is located.  You need nothing special just your feet and arms.  However, if you are up to the challenge Leslie adds in weights, resistence bands and more depending on the workout.
