I enjoyed this book. I am curious about the premise. After a lifetime of believing in (and enjoying) lifting, it's a bit hard for me to believe that walking a few miles each day can have such an impact, however, even though I am not specifically following this program, I am walking about 2 miles 3 times a week (when I am at work) and I wanted to get an idea of how that impacts the rest of the workouts that I am doing. I would buy this book. It's straight forward, easy to follow and an easy r

Leslie Sansone "gets" people like me—people who struggle to stay active. She is also a great writer in her organization and structure of the material, simplicity, encouraging tone, and challenging goals. Her videos and books have helped me over the years. I often fall back on this book and re-read, because it is so simple, concrete, and personal.

I suppose if you hide under a rock and never listen to anything about diet and exercise and are a complete couch potato, this would be a good book. I'd assumed that this book would focus more on the program and not on Leslie's view on how to lose weight (get rid of your fat friends! never eat dessert again!)
I like Leslie's walk DVDs and from now on, I'll stick to those

This is a great book for people who feel that losing weight and being healthy is impossible because it is just so hard. Leslie Sansone is the queen of encouragement and she makes everything seem DO-able. She encourages and celebrates every small, positive change.

This book is really good if you need some direction in starting an exercise program but are overwhelmed by the idea of a major life change. The idea behind it is to start with one walk and move up to 3 miles over a period of time, and that change will be enough to encourage other change and motivation to maintain. It was not exactly what I was looking for because I am alreay a walker, but I did come away with some tips and a little more incentive. It is not a difficult read and Leslie is pretty

After trying some of her walking workout DVD's (which I really liked) I decided I would give her book a try too. The first week all you do is walk and then each week she adds on a challenge like drink 8 glasses of water or take a vitamin. It does not focus on dieting and changing everything all at once which I think is good. So far it is being a helpful tool. I'm already walking 1 or 2 miles every day :)

Loved this book! The 6-week walking program is great! I found out about the "Walk Away the Pounds" walk-aerobics workouts thanks to this book, and am soooo glad I did! They're the best "exercise" I've ever found! So easy, anyone could do it!
