Leslie Sansone: 5 Really Big Miles

I LOVE this new workout. I've been doing Leslie's workout for 10 years now and have dozens of them. I use her workouts at least 5 days a week since January. In recent months I've been using mostly her 4 and 5 miles and was excited to get a new 5 mile. In less than 3 weeks, what a difference already- my clothes are all looser. My legs and arms especially are toning up and slimming down more. If you do this video from warm-up to end of stretch it is 87 minutes. Sometimes on the weekend I even do it twice a day. At first I thought it was a bit slower in pace, but it picks up and with the strength training bits, it is a real workout! I even get out of breath sometimes in this workout and I never do in her other workouts. I don't understand the review which said this isn't a real workout. Sometimes instead of the stretch band I use Leslie's 2 lb. handweights during the strength training parts. Awesome! Yes, many of the same moves, but she nicely adds some new steps(love the cha cha wish there was more of it). I also like she changes between moves faster(less walking in place in between say sidesteps and knee lifts etc) which really bumps up the workout. Lots and lots of sidesteps in this one. There is a short pause transition between miles(this happens in her 5 mile fat burning too)- just keep walking, it's like 3 seconds. Why is this a problem for people? I use that time to grab a sip of water! Each mile starts off a bit slower than end of previous mile, but she bumps up the pace during the mile. This is how all her miles work in her other videos too. It is a better workout when you do it this way(like interval training), better than keeping a high pace constant. Don't worry about that. Is this video perfect? No. Is it an excellent QUALITY workout? YES!!!! I would not hesitate to recommend this. I love her new walkers(yes some of them really fit- inspirational!). Only thing like some of her other recent dvds the music is too quiet. I watch tv while I do this anyway(dvd playing on my laptop). I listen to her cues. Not sick of this one yet and do several times a week. Love what it's doing for my legs especially. People are noticing. Try it!

I love Leslie Sansone's workouts, and have ever since I discovered her. As someone with fibromyalgia, her workouts were gentle enough for me to break back into exercise. But, honestly, the videos all started to look the same, always with the same old moves. Now, I can vary them on my own, but I'd rather do something different along with her. If I wanted to make up my own routine, why would I bother buying a video?! I also was not fond of the workouts that were Leslie only. I like her, but what I really love is the interaction between her and others. And it also gives you new people to look at and focus on, which makes it easier to do the same routine over and over.That said, this video is, in my humble opinion, the best workout Leslie has put out to date. There are plenty of new moves, some that have been in later workouts, and even some combinations (such as kickbacks/sidesteps), along with the four basic steps. The music is different, though "New Attitude" did make its appearance! I personally very much like the miles being broken up, because that allows me to pick and choose which miles I want to do, and I can get to the menu and choose them easily. Even the cooldown and stretch are separate, so you can stop whenever you'd like and not have to search for the cooldown.My one complaint with the DVD is that the 5th mile has a very long section of what really is cooldown, although it's not considered to be cooldown. By the time you get to the end of the 5th mile, your heart rate is completely back to normal, and you're just ready for a stretch. I would have liked to see the 5th mile end with a little bit brisker pace.All in all, this is my favorite workout and is one I will do over and over because it is so versatile, being able to pick and choose the miles and form different workout routines. Thank you, Leslie, for listening to your fans and giving us what we asked for!

I bought 2 of her videos. This one was great. The other not soo much..the music was upbeat and appropriate for a work out. 5 different workouts including warm up in a continuous format. Stop when YOU want or continue along

I have to say I was afraid this would be a rehash of other videos or carbon copy workouts to new music... all which I have enjoyed, nonetheless. This video is completely different. New moves, most of which, I like. New music. I like it all but wish the gal singing, "I say a little prayer for you," would have sang the entire song not just part of it.In this video there is no classic Leslie pep talk. Have to say I miss it but the video is great without it too. There is no spiritual inspiration or "hallelujah". There is also no regular walkers/gang but I recognize at least one thin blonde from, I think, the 3 mile weight loss walk video. The new walkers who do the most strenuous workout all through the 5 mile video with Leslie are young and lean but not obnoxious. The other walkers who do the warm-up, first mile, last mile, and cool-down include the thin girls and some others who are probably working for Leslie and then there are some "real folks" who were invited to walk, I think. They might be from Facebook or other local walkers.All of the video is high-energy and fun and very doable, however, after three days of doing the entire 5 miles I was absolutely exhausted. It is that 4th mile with the mini boot camp that is what makes you sore. It truly is a full body workout. Probably better not to do it everyday. Mix it up a bit with other videos.I've been walking with Leslie since March 2011 and have many, many Leslie videos. Even though it is a long video (1 hour and 20 min), the moves change so much, and so often that the time goes fast. It is by far the best "Leslie" yet. BTW: She also looks thinner and more updated, too. The other videos i have seem out of date now since this new one. Leslie may have to update some of her other videos to the new music and steps. Just sayin'...

I love Leslie Sansone videos I have been doing her videos now and I have done them in the past thelast couple months I had someissues with my shoulder and hadto do Phiseo then I was able toease back into exercises and Istarted with this DVD and other Leslie Sansone DVD’s This DVDis well worth it as well as all the others. They really help me to get back into exercise and wanting to. Leslie Sansone is really encouraging and motivating. Plus what I like isyou can exercise with the wholeDVD or different parts and some exercises are around 15 to 20 minyou can pick and choose.. I reallylike it. Thanks

I think this is one of the better Walk at Home dvds.Positives:- there is a countdown clock for each mile so you can see where you’ve got 2- each mile runs on from the next which means you don’t cool down at the start of each new mile– miles two and four include HIIT sessions as well as using the stretchy band and these work well- mile three is a quick mile- the music is good and gets you moving- it’s easy to mix and match each of the miles to give a good warmup, exercise, and cooldownNegatives:– In the cooldown Leslie introduces friends and relatives and whilst this is mildly interesting the first time you watch it, it becomes distinctly annoying if you do this routine regularly. I’ve now taken to turning the sound off and just doing the movements.Overall, I really like this workout DVD and have found my fitness levels have increased significantly since I started using it and I have also lost weight.

Ótimo vídeo de exercícios aeróbicos !aseados em simplesmente andar, bastante eficazes

One mile at a time so the whole workout is easy and you don't realize that you walk 5 miles!

Il dvd contiene la fase di riscaldamento, e tre miglia di allenamento a corpo libero e due con la banda elastica, alternati. Insieme al dvd arriva la banda elastica rosa con il logo di walk at home, che è ottima per iniziare perchè ha una resistenza leggera. Il workout è divertente ed efficace, come tutti quelli di Leslie Sansone. Per chi ha dubbi se il dvd si veda bene in Italia io lo vedo tranquillamente dal mio pc, senza difficoltà tecniche. Leslie non delude mai, la consiglio
