Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds
For those wanting a low-impact, high-calorie-burning workout, this is the one for you.

This allows you to customize your workout according to your fitness level--from 1 mile for a beginner up to 5 miles if you are ready for more. This workout, with Sansone's positive attitude as a motivator, is appropriate for women of all ages and fitness levels.
