I have been walking with Leslie for years and I have many of her videos. I just love this new video! It is very pleasant and enjoyable. Loved the music, the choreography, and the occasional Bible verses were very inspiring. I laughed out loud and another time became teary eyed because I was so moved by the words of the song, "Here I am Lord". It was also a great moderate workout. And I'm so glad that Leslie included the blessing with her Pastor, Fr. Phillip Farrell! I was physically, emotionally, and spiritually moved! Great job Leslie!

I was SO excited when I found out that Leslie had put out another installment into the faith line of dvds! Her first, Walk the Walk "A Christian Inspired Workout" was where it all started for me in my walking with Leslie and her dvds. If I could give this new "A Closer 2 Mile Walk" half stars, my rating would be 4 1/2 stars! I loved the new set and the walkers with Leslie. "Here I Am Lord" is one of my favorite songs out of the old "Glory & Praise" songs that made their way into Mass & worship back in the late 80's. The only reason I took a 1/2 star off is that I was disappointed that there was not more recognizable songs to the 2 Mile walk to go along with "Here I Am Lord". The songs in Leslie's 1st "A Christian Inspired Workout" had such songs (albeit more traditional) throughout both the 1 Mile walk and the 2 Mile walk on the dvd. In her book "Getting Fit With Faith", is yet another 2 Mile faith walk dvd that I also include as one in her faith series in my Leslie walking library. Even though I own quite a few other Leslie walks & workouts on dvds, it is a pleasure to add "A Closer 2 Mile Walk" to my Leslie library. It's so uplifting to walk in His light and with the positivity of faith along as it plays in my dvd player. I'd recommend this to all Leslie walkers who wants to put a positive bounce to their step as they walk side by side with God. It's my hope, there will be more dvds & walks to come in this series! Father Phillip is a wonderful, I would love to be able to sit in his parish mass and listen to one of his homilies! Thanks Leslie for another outstanding dvd & walk..and Carol has been walking along with us in all 3 dvds!

Just purchased this dvd and I really enjoy it. I like the music and the walk. It is only two miles so would be nice for a new walker. I use it when I want a gentler dvd.

This was a good 2 mile walk, but I was a little disappointed with the music. The clip I viewed before I bought it had a great song at the beginning, but then I think there's only one more after that. It eventually gets up to her usual fast walk music, which is fine, but I had hoped for more Christian lyrics to walk to. Also, there are no boosted walks on this one, but it's a good walk for the days you want an easier walk.

This was my 2nd Christian based dvd I brought of Leslie's. The first one,"Walk the Walk" was very good on days that I want spiritual inspiration, but the music was a little dull for my taste. This one, "A closer 2 Mile Walk" is the better one. The music is more upbeat and I love the pray at the end by Father Farrell.

I really loved this tape even though I would not use it as a mainstay in my walking program. It is not as long, energetic and intensive as Leslie Sansone's Walk Slim - 4 Fast Miles (2-Disc Set) or Leslie Sansone Walk Slim: Fast and Firm 4 Really Big Miles but it is a really nice adjunct. You can also use it to "relax" on during off days. As Leslie points out after a few minutes into the tape "I know your spirit is lifted. Your mood has changed..." and "This is really healthy for your body, mind and soul."

I especially like that Leslie reminds you "This is a walking workout. You're not trying to learn steps". She really seems to enjoy teaching and the people she exercises with. Her emphasis is not only on improving physical health but emotional and spiritual as well. I like that the tape has a little added script running across the screen towards the end of the second mile. It reads: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." How this reminds me of a number of (walking) half marathons I have done in the past where about the ten mile mark my muscles started to hurt so bad I felt like I might need to quit. Remembering those words helped me get through. I think for beginning walkers those are important words to think on as well. This is, after all, a basic tape but one that certainly motivates the exerciser to do so much more.

Finally I liked that the tape contains a blessing (of Leslie's new studio) by a Catholic priest who reminds us "The greatest person who walked the face of the earth ACTUALLY walked the face of the earth" referring to our Lord Jesus Christ at the time he walked the earth as a man.

Let me start by saying that I love Leslie Sansone's videos in general. When I first started my weight loss journey four years and forty pounds ago, it was Leslie and the real people she works out with that helped me to see that I just had to get off the couch and put one foot in front of the other. I find Leslie as an instructor to be wonderfully encouraging and very positive. These days, when I don't feel like exercising, I pick a Leslie Sansone workout because she helps me remember why I'm exercising in the first place (to be fit and healthy for myself and my children). I really enjoy the Closer 2-Mile Walk DVD and love the addition of faith to a workout routine. I find this workout as motivating and approachable as all of Leslie's DVDs. I love the music, too. I just wish the Christian music was throughout the entire workout instead of just during the warm up and cool down segments. That's my only suggestion. Otherwise, I think this is another wonderful walking workout DVD from Leslie Sansone, and I highly recommend it!

I have recently discovered Lesley Sansone's work outs and cant get enough of them! When I found out that some of them were inspirational to my Faith as well as to encourage me to walk more, I was delighted! The songs and message are just what I need. Indeed it is WONDERFUL to have her encouraging our bodies' health and our souls' well being! Well done, Lesley, for finding this combo! I loved the blessing which was also included, and fully agree with the message!

This is a great way to get a workout at home. I love the music and Leslie's positive comments!!!

This is a nice, fairly gentle 2 mile walk with spiritual music. Leslie's usual steps are used and I ended the walk feeling uplifted. Although gentle, it does get the heart rate up and is a solid 30 minute workout. A lovely blessing by Leslie's pastor was included at the end of the workout.
