My sister recomended these DVDs to me a few months ago. She has four kids currently-all in the space of just under six years. When I saw her last, she had lost SIXTY pounds just doing these DVDs a couple of times a week. I just had my second child, and after a dibilitating car accident, well needless to say, I need to loose a lot of weight. So I decided to try these DVDs. I have had them a little over a week and have done both the one mile and the two mile-infact I just finished the two mile a few minutes ago. They are great! They are very low impact-I have bad knees from the car accident, and a plate in my left arm, also from the accident, and I can do the two mile without any pain in my knees, and I can do push ups which I haven't done in almost four years! They are fun and easy, and I can tell already that I am loosing weight. It only takes a half hour to do the two mile, which I can still do with two kids. I also like this because I am so much overweight, I can do this in the comfort of my own living room, without the uncomfortable stares of other people at the gym or the track. Also, you can move around up and back, side to side, but you don't have to. It is very flexable. Currently I am living in a hotel room in MS while my husband is in Air Force training, and I can do it easily in my 12x9 hotel room. I highly recomend this to anyone who will listen ... So buy and enjoy!

This 3-DVD set includes:
- Miracle Mile DVD
- 2-Mile Walk
- 4-Mile Weight Loss Walk

If you are a veteran of the Walk Away The Pounds walking program, you will have no problem completing these walking workouts. It is a do-able supplement to the Walk Away workouts, for days when you don't want to use weights and need a little more variety. These DVDs do not have any strength training, and uses very little in the way of arm movements. They are purely cardio workouts.

However, there are a few things that really date these DVDs. Be aware that they are a re-released old workout from 1992. The music is very dated. Leslie is also continually referring to using a VCR with the workout: "Fast forward to the cool down" or "if you didn't catch this step, rewind and do it again." The clothes and hair styles also really date this DVD, from the "big sock" look to the layered leotards.

The moves themselves are more complicated than her Walk Away workouts. For example, she has you doing several variations on side steps - lots and lots of 80's style grapevines, stepping to the corners at an angle, and even backwards side steps.

The bonus features on all of the DVDs include a short biography of Leslie (non-interactive), and a URL link to Current Video (the manufacturer). For example, The 2-mile DVD features a three-minute introduction, where the walkers themselves are interviewed about the walking workouts and their success with them. Leslie then introduces the walkers (the same walkers as the "Miracle Mile" DVD). What I really appreciate about Leslie's choice of walkers is that they are "real" people. One of the walkers lost over 100 pounds!

While I really appreciate Leslie's Walk Away Workouts, I find this release to still need some tweaking (how about a make over?). I only use it occassionally, to throw some variety into my workouts. If you're bored, and looking for something else to try with Leslie, give this a go.

This re-released DVD offers three different DVD's:

The first DVD is the "Miracle Mile". This offers a great workout if you are in a hurry one morning or you just do not have the energy to pursue a two or three mile workout. Yes, the DVD is dated, looks to be early 90's to me, but the workout is just as good as her current releases! As long as I am sweating and I feel good, I do not mind the dated looks, styles, etc.

The second DVD is the Two Mile Challenge. It is not hard at all and takes all of 25 minutes. This is what I do on a regular day and I can DEFINITELY feel AND see a difference-even within just a week. Just between us girls, my legs and the ::gasp:: cellulite is actually going away and firming up! (I've had a big struggle with this, but I do have a small case of it). I feel better and look forward to getting up and working out before even worrying about breakfast!

The third DVD is the Weight Loss 4 Mile Challenge. It contains three segments. The first segment is only 1 mile long in which Leslie walks by herself doing her "common" walkaerobic moves and feels more like a warm up to me. During the second segment, Leslie is joined by two older ladies and one older man. The moves are the same, but longer and more intense if that makes sense. This segment is 20 minutes long which includes a 1.5 mile walk! In the third segment, Leslie is joined by three younger ladies, which is where the challenge really kicks in. After going 2.5 miles, you have to give it everything you've got to make it. This segment is also 20 minutes long with a 1.5 mile walk. Followed by a cool-down, this is my absolute FAVORITE L.S. Walking DVD.

I highly recommend these DVD's for anyone who likes to walk in the comfort of your home, lose weight sensibly, variety of workouts and who do not have alot of time for working out. Leslie is an angel! Her programs are absolutely amazing. Remember, activity before food, and you'll stay healthy always!

Good Luck and God Bless! :)

P.S. One more thing I forgot to mention, when I started segment two of the 4 mile walk, I felt as if I was learning Salsa moves! Leslie wants you to tap, put your hips into it, so on and so forth. Later on, I kinda laughed to myself with Leslie said, "C'mon, it's just like the Mambo". This is why I LOVE Leslie and this DVD--it just does not feel like "working out" but you come out sweating everytime. Have fun!!

I have been a fan of Leslie Sansone for a few years now and own quite a few of here videos but this one is a hidden gem.

Sure, it may be "dated" but that's way at the bottom of my priority list. What is important is that:
It gets the job done proper.
It adds variety to my growing collection of fitness dvds
It's low impact so I can do this workout without knee pain.
It's fun to do.

I had read reviews in the past about how many of her fans love this "2 mile walk" even more that some of her newer offerings and now I know why.
I just finished the workout and got a good sweat from this one and I wish I had gotten this a long time ago.
By the way, I consider myself a "recycled beginner" but can push myself to intermediate on good days.

I'm 31 years old, about 80 pounds overweight, diabetic, and arthritic so it doesn't matter to me if this is a re-release considering I also do a very old Denise Austin video (Low Impact, Non-aerobic) and Richard Simmons "Sweating to the Oldies". I have finally found an excellent addition to my daily routines. With these DVD's, I'm on my way. I found these extremely easy and quick. I have worked my way to the Two-mile which I will do daily until I'm ready to tackle the four-mile. These videos are easy to follow with no difficult steps, and a good cardio workout. It doesn't matter how old these are, it just matters that they work if you work with them. It's one step at a time!!!

This video is the best that I have tried. It gives you three options - the miracle mile if you only have 15 minutes, the two mile (30 minutes), and the weight loss which is 60 minutes long. When you have finished walking to any of these videos you really feel like you have done a good workout. I think these videos give you a better workout than walking on a treadmill or around your neighborhood. With the leg lifts, squats etc., which are incorporated in the walk workout, you can really feel it in your legs, thighs and butt after you are finished and the next day, which tells me that I am going to see some results fast. I have recommeded this video to all my friends and I think these are the best videos that Leslie Sansone has made yet. Well worth the money!!!!!

I started Walk Aerobics with the 2 Mile Walk and love it. My video is worn out so I needed to get something new. I purchased this set because of cost and it looked like it was going to give me a little more to choose from. Though it is "old" in dress and music, it still does what it says it will. I highly recommend Leslie Sansone's Walk Aerobics. Who cares how the people are dressed compared to today? Not me. As long as the workout is helping me accomplish my goal of being healthy with excercise, I'm satisfied!

I recently started the miracle mile and the two mile walk and I must say that these 2 workouts are FANTASTIC!!! I have not tried the 4 mile walk as of yet because I am still working up to it. I can tell you that the miracle mile is a fast paced walk that is done in 15 mins. Then Leslie takes you through some conditioning exercises such as crunches and squats. They are very low impact and just right for me as I have a bad back. I loved the miracle mile so much I did it 2 times in a row.

The 2 mile walk is also fantastic. It is also a low impact 2 mile walk which touches almost every muscle in your body. The next day my body was aching from muscle pain, but a good muscle pain. I absolutely loved doing both walks, the time flew by and I was not bored at all!!! Keep in mind that Leslie takes you through a thorough warm up and cool down for both walks.

I am looking foward to the 4 mile walk which I will try on the weekend.

I also have the 3 mile walk "super fat burning" dvd. I love this dvd to. The super fat burning walk leaves you soaking wet from sweat. There could be a bit more stretching at the end but still the workout is FANTASTIC!!!

Wow! I finally figured this out! This set is made up of Leslie's 1 mile Miracle Mile, Two Mile Walk, and Walk Off the Weight System-Weight Loss Walk (3 sessions: 1, 1.5 and 1.5 segments, do all for 4 miles)...I have Miracle Mile and Two Mile Walk, and had already ordered WLW as well. The first two are good, but I prefer the new Walk Off the Weight Series with the weighted balls, because routines are very simple. Two Mile Walk is pretty vigorous and takes a few viewings to catch/coordinate everything for us aerobics Klutzs. If you're like most of Leslie's devotees though, you like and collect many of her tapes for variety. Excellent value, and you can get it more quickly than the 4-5 weeks through MarketPlace sellers.

I first walked the two and then three mile walk with Leslie at my Wellness Center and loved it. She is extremely easy to follow and you really get a great workout. I had been on the treadmill and cross trainer and when I tried the walk with Leslie I found muscles that were not getting worked out! You will work up a sweat and you will feel great afterwards. I loved it so much I just ordered the Walk the Walk 3 DVD set so that I could do it at home when I can't make it by the Wellness Center. I'm like most of the others, it doesn't bother me that the tapes are dated. It is the work out that counts!
