5.0 out of 5 stars
Great 5 Mile Workout!, February 22, 2007
This review is from: Leslie Sansone: 5 Mile Walk (DVD)
I absolutely love this DVD because it's chaptered! I think this is the first chaptered Leslie Sansone DVD! There are 5 walking segments: walk with weights (15 mins), walk with belt (15 mins), walk with bands (12 mins), 9 minute walk, 13 1/2 minute walk (yes I timed all segments!) I really don't know why some people are concerned about the supposedly lack of warm up because I find that 3 of the 5 segments have a gradual active warm up. That means, the workout starts off slowly and gradually builds up the pace. The 1 mile walks that use the weights, belt and bands all have that gradual active warm up. The 9 minute mile and 13 1/2 minute mile starts off at a pretty brisk pace and I love it! If one is concerned about the warm up then just program your player to start the workout with either the walk with weights, walk with belt or walk with bands. Then you can just add the 9 minute mile and 13 1/2 minute mile thereafter. I don't use her premixes, I make my own! The DVD is well-chaptered that you can just mix and match to your hearts content. I would recommend this: Program your player to do: walk with bands, walk with weights, 9 minute mile, 13 1/2 mile and finally walk with belt. BTW, I find that you don't actually need the belt and bands. Hand weights are just fine! My only complaint is that the music is rather faint. All in all I give this DVD 5 stars! Happy walking :)

I like it!, March 21, 2007
This review is from: Leslie Sansone: 5 Mile Walk (DVD)
I only have one other Leslie Sansone DVD and I don't use if very often, but this one is a keeper. I am always on the lookout for a program where I can customize the workout and also a workout for a longer period of time. This DVD does both. I like the fact that it came with the resistance band also...it was like an unexpected gift.
I like the hour long workout and also the enthusiasm of Leslie. I also enjoy the guy in the front who has a hard time keeping the rhythm...he's cute!

Love this video, March 19, 2007
This review is from: Leslie Sansone: 5 Mile Walk (DVD)
I think this is a great video and definitely the next step after the 4 Mile Challenge. She expects that the people using this video have used some of her other ones, so there is less "teaching" us how to do the different moves. The total run time of the workout is just under 1 hour, 6 minutes and is a good pace for the duration. I also found that moving from mile to mile helped make it seem like a shorter workout, but I get the health benefits and time in of a long workout. I didn't notice it when I bought the video and the case doesn't mention it, but mine included the stretchy band that is used in one of the segments. All in all, I love this video!
