VERY HAPPY
I've never been one to excercise but this video gave me the motivation to change my lifestyle in that sense, yes the background isn't anything fancy or it may seem cheesy to some people but in the end it did what i bought it for, which is to get a WORKOUT. I bought this vedeo at Walmart but I wanted to leave a review about it after reading some of the low star comments that didnt do it justice, if you are like me and are looking for something to change your couch potato habbits this is it, now Im ready to move on to a higher impact more intense workout like the 3 and 4 mile and most definately it will be a tape from Leslie Sansone.

just starting
I had already bought the product when I read the reviews and I thought I might have made a mistake. Not True. I am very overweight and very out of shape. This is perfect for me. I think if it had been any more difficult I would have just quit. In addition, the simple set helps me concentrate. I think this is a perfect program for the REAL beginner. So far I have done it twice a day - one mile each time - and am feeling good about myself. If you are an old fashioned couch potato and want to make your life different try this. By the way I am 59 years old and as everyone says if I can do it - you can. Great if you want to begin.

Good for beginners
This DVD is very good for out-of-shape people who want to start exercising. I deliberately chose this DVD because of the negative reviews that criticized it as too easy. Not everyone is in great shape. Some of us have to start at a slower pace, something that this DVD does very well.

Not too obnoxious
As exercise videos go this is not too obnoxious. Yes the set is uninspired but you don't notice it much when you are exercising. Leslie only laughs twice in the first routine. Her over the top cheeriness is toned down a bit, at least in the first part. The music is ok. So if you are old and/or out of shape and looking for something to simple and short to start with this dvd is perfect.

For the beginner!!!
This DVD is for someone just starting out or needs a program that is not too difficult to do...The ones that have written bad reviews, I noticed already had a library of Leslie's other programs...so instead of them thinking that they needed to find a more challenging one, they just wrote a bad review...If you are just starting out and need a starting point the 1 mile on this DVD is very good...you will feel pleased with your self in completing it...I know because I was and already after just a week I feel like I know I can continue down this path to wieght loss and better health. Just know that this is a DVD for someone just starting out! If you need varity or something more challenging, keep looking.
