I bought Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds DVDS. I am now up to doing the three mile dvd twice a day 5-6 times a week. Someone told me yesterday that you are not suppose to work the same muscle group two days in a row, does this apply to Walk away the Pounds, or is this for strength training, etc??? Thank you in advance for your help.

Congratulations! What type of diet have you been following? -------------- The meek shall inherit the Earth, but the strong and muscular will carry them through it! That which does not kill me can only make me stronger.

Thanks for the good thoughts, I weighed 225 lbs on July 1, 2002. I now weigh 165lbs. When I first started dieting it was REALLY dieting,(starving) and for about three weeks I lost an average of 10 lbs per week. I think a lot of water, etc. But after those three weeks, I felt really weak, so now I eat healthy every day, my dad is a diabetic, and I try to follow the guidelines given to him by his physican. I think all the WATP helps, I have been concentrating on correct posture, form, etc. Anyone else know a good exercise workout for beginners, without to much coordination being involved?
