But alas, there could only be one winner. Our winner was chosen using random.org, and was once again the first entrant, Tami!

Congrats to her! She said, “Oooh, I’d love to win! My kiddos actually like doing my walking tapes with me.”

Other comments we received were like this one from Lorraine:

“Doesn’t Leslie have great energy! Looks like this DVD is interactive, gets the kids excited and engaged in the movements. My kids would enjoy hopping and walking to this DVD a lot!”

Leslie does have some amazing energy! She’s truly an example of what fitness can do for a person, and I’m happy that she’s taking it a step farther and trying to encourage children to view fitness as a fun activity.

Congrats again to our winner, and keep walking everyone!

Kid’s Walk Winner

The book is a six-week program to gradually increase your fitness level. The thing I liked about it was that it wasn’t a book that went with her DVDs (although you certainly could do them as part of this) but instead she focused on walking in general. She made it about steps, which translate to miles. She also suggested small changes, and followed those up with a weekly tally sheet so you could keep track of how much you were doing.

Reading Leslie’s story was just as interesting as listening to her speak on the tapes. She’s funny, light, and engaging. She’s also very reasonable. She said something that really stuck with me, that you don’t need six-pack abs, but you do need good health. Focus on good health first.

She also talked about getting enough sleep and drinking water. She said she gets up every day and drinks a huge glass of water first thing. So today, I did the same thing! It inspired me to keep going (I’m on glass three – which is three more than I usually drink!)

Walk Away the Pounds is a fast read that will get you going on your path to fitness. Best of all? It has a bonus one-mile walk DVD right in the book jacket. I highly recommend it.

Walk Away the Pounds

Walking is a great exercise for just about any fitness level or age. The weather here in the Midwest has been cold and snowy, but with exercise DVDs like this one you can still get a workout in. More than that, since I started working out at home I’ve given up my gym membership. I hated driving to the gym (which was about 20 minutes from my house). It was like spending an hour driving to a place to work out when instead I could just pop in the DVD and be done working out in an hour! A much better option I think!

Winner of Walk Slim DVD

For me, I love to walk.  Since I live in a colder climate, I like having DVDs around so I can keep up my exercise routine without having to go outside.  The DVDs I use most frequently are by Leslie Sansone.

Leslie has generously donated a few DVDs to us for giveaway items, and I have one for you to win today!  It’s the Walk Slim 4 Fast Miles DVD.  That’s right, four miles of indoor walking for your exercise pleasure!

Here’s a sneak peak of the DVD:

Doesn’t that look like fun?  I actually have this DVD so I can tell you it is.

Would you like to win the Walk Slim DVD?  Just leave a comment on this post by Sunday, March 29th.  I’ll choose a winner at random and announce the lucky guy or gal the next day.  Good luck!

Win a Walk Slim DVD

A few months ago she sent some DVDs my way to give to all the loyal readers we have at b5. Since we’re starting our new site called Blisstree, I thought: What better way to celebrate than with a giveaway?

I have a copy of Leslie Sansone’s Teen Walk DVD to give to one lucky reader. In my teen years, we biked and walked everywhere. I knew very few kids that were heavy or out of shape. But times are different now. Here’s a sneak peek into the DVD:

Since our new site is called “Blisstree,” I’d like to hear about the things that give you bliss. There are no right or wrong answers, of course, so include your blissful choice along with your comment below. Your comment will serve at your entry into the giveaway. Do this by Thursday, March 26th. I’ll choose a winner at random and announce the lucky guy or gal the next day.

Teen Walk Giveaway

I’ve got a brand new copy of Walk Slim – 4 Fast Miles to give to you. The video also comes with a Super Foods Eating Plan booklet.

I’ve used this DVD in the past and it was awesome. The 4-mile walk is a wonderful workout, but there is also a 2 and 3 mile workout on the tape if you can’t do the whole 4 miles or have a busy day where you don’t have the time.

Here’s a quick clip:

I think you will love this DVD!

Want to win? Just leave a comment on this post by Thursday, January 8th. I’ll choose a winner at random and announce the lucky guy or gal the next day. Good luck!
