I only have a few of Leslie's workouts, but they are all good and fun and easy to do while burning off a lot of fat. As each of these miles goes, they get faster and faster. The first mile is easier and it builds in intensity till you're really getting your heart rate right up there. At mile three, that's when you start to add some gentle jogging and then at mile four, you're using resistance bands (optional) to work your upper body and also maximise the fat burning and your heart rate.
Leslie is a terrific cuer and she is motivating and friendly. She's always encouraging and that pushes you through when you think you really want to quit. I find this workout easy yet calorie burning and I have no hesitation in recommending it to almost anyone who wants to lose weight and burn fat. You'll have fun while doing it so you'll hardly know you're working out. I love it.

I just received this workout a couple days ago and I've done it twice already! It's a great workout and makes me sweat! I started with Leslie back in July 2007 and could barely do the one mile easy walk. Now I can do ANY of her workouts and I've lost 81 lbs and all I ever do for exercise is Leslie workouts. This one is my new favorite! Believe me, it will get you in shape and I NEVER exercised before Leslie. It's the real deal!

I really like this DVD. You can pick 1,2,3,or 4 miles. She does the same basic moves as are in her other videos but you use the included band in the 4th mile. The 2nd mile is 10 mins. so you do Boosted Walking which is jogging in place. This is a good workout, 4 miles in about 54 mins. I'm not crazy about the music but it doesn't matter because I use picture in picture and watch a TV show instead. Overall a great way to burn some calories and not have to go out in the cold!

This was a great walking DVD. I own quite a few of Leslie Sansone's walking workouts, and this one really gives you a good burn. Though it consists of the basic walk steps of her other videos, you get the Boost portion that ramps up the activity. The clip posted on this site is the wrong clip because this DVD features her regular walkers along with a few new faces. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes indoor walking for weight loss and fitness.

I love Leslie Sansone! Two thumbs up! I had NEVER exercised before I found Leslie! I am so glad she is my personal trainer for pennies a day and I don't have to drive anywhere! I look forward to her walks every day and I intend to do this kind of exercise the rest of my life! It's a no brainer--put in the tape, rain or shine, day or night, hot or cold and WALK! Start with a mile and work up as you become more fit and you will become more fit if you stick with it. Consistency is the key. Everyone has 15-30 mins. a day. Leslie promises: "you can get fit in minutes a day and you will reach your goals if you don't quit!" She delivers and I'm living proof! I feel like I know Leslie, Joanne, Linda, Carol and my favorite speedwalker, Mary Kay (she's high energy!) My walking buddies! I pop in the tape and report for my personal fitness class right in my bedroom! If it wasn't for Leslie, I would still be struggling with my weight, looking for the next diet, and trying to find attractive clothes that fit! This is no longer a problem for me! I own a stack of Leslies tapes and choose whatever I want on a particular day.

This entire "Walk Fit" series is excellent! I couldn't wait for this one so I purchased it directly on Leslie's website. This one is so much fun! If you're a newbie to walking, you may want to do just 1 mile at first and build up. Boy, does the time fly! When you finish, expect to be sweating! You can feel the weight come off effortlessly without starving yourself too!

I now have 11 of Leslie Sansone's videos and I love every one of them. She often states that her workouts are not for sissies and that is very true but REALLY anyone can do them. You just set your own pace.I started working out with Leslie's videos on April 1st, 2008. I weighed 240 lbs. It is now February 24th, 2009 and I am happy...no thrilled to tell you that I have walked away 83 lbs!!! I went from 2X to size 12. My goal is to lose 100 lbs and I know I will get there. When I started out I could barely get to the end of the 3 mile video. I'm up to 5 miles now and I love it! I'm hooked! What a great thing to be addicted to...excerize!!! Now here's the best part....I'm 62..I'll be 63 in just a few days and the young girls who work out with me can't keep up!!! Please do yourself a huge favor and get started walking away the pounds today. Or just do it to be healthier. Either way, you come out a winner!!!

I love this workout!
I love the fact that is chaptered.
I do mile 1, mile 2, mile 3, then I press the back button on my dvd to repeat mile 3 and then hit back twice and redo mile 1.
I tend to skip mile 4 because I enjoy being able to do a full sixty minutes of cardio without any boosters (the stretchie band).
Doing the sequence of mile 1, mile 2, mile 3, mile 3 and mile 1 gives me 62 minutes of solid cardio in my living room.
I love the fact that I can modify this workout to suit my needs.
I do not jog during the 3 ninety second jogging intervals, I just march in place. But the song used during the interval is fast paced so I do increase my marching pace for 90 seconds.
Also, some days, I repeat mile 1 four times for a good solid 4 mile walk.
Or, if I am strapped for time, I just do mile 1. It's a good solid mile with lots of arm movements.
This is my favorite Leslie Sansone workout of all time!

Even though this is a great workout. I'm disappointed that it's just like Super Challenge. Same music and routine, just different people. When I watched the sample trailer it shows Leslie by herself and doing other exercise routine such as the squat with the stretchy. I was really looking forward to the workout.

That's the reason for the 2 star score. I feel dupped into buying a workout dvd, opening the package and once it's opened you can't return it. Oh well, I've decided to give it away.

I was introduced to the Leslie Sansone Walk-at-Home system by a Jenny Craig counselor. Like many others who have submitted reviews, I had long since given up a regular exercise regimen due to lack of time and location (cold/dark 6 months out of 12) I started with a 2 mile workout and then purchased this DVD and others to make the best use of my time. I now own 7 in total. This one of the better ones and gives a great workout, but is not equipped with "music only" mode, which will be required by those who find Leslie's constant conversation a bit much if you use these DVD's every day like I do. Instead, I mute my computer and use with my IPOD and my own exercise music. Works like a charm!

I have been alternating this dvd with the 4 mile express super challenge 3-5 times a week since mid october of '08. it is a great workout, but i like the super challenge better. leslie just seems more calm and encouraging on that one.

i hate to be negative because she's all about being positive, but her banter in this dvd is on the verge of being spastic with a tinge of hysteria. i don't know. she just keeps talking and talking and talking. and it's not as much helpful info as just grating. "lyn, did us agitate you?" "you're generating body heat on my sisters" "you should wear it (the stretchie band) as a belt" "keep moving dollface" "i can't help thinking there goes someone's china cabinet" these and other comments said in various degrees of baby talk and high pitched squeaks makes the video feel manic. it's hard to concentrate on what is really an effective physical workout. call it being peppy if you will, i call it overdone and annoying.

this video is also hard to watch. it looks like the high school a/v club tried to shoot it. there's quite a few blurry, extreme closeups of the walkers' faces as they try to smile while dripping sweat, and crazy random shots of people's waists. also there are at least two times where the moves change but you can't see it because the camera is trained on someone's feet or hips. also, everyone has trouble keeping in step, especially some of the newbies and the poor guy in the back. (seriously, did they have to give him a pink stretchie?) but of course, staying in step is not so important as just moving, as the WATP mantra goes.

there's a few long pauses between music which really seem amateur considering how many videos this company has made. which is too bad, because i like the music. it's just hard to get into it because the woman won't be quiet!

i don't want to give up on the WATP program, because i have been seeing results from doing these workouts. i've ordered the 5 mile dvd to see if maybe that can take the place of this dvd. i may have to just sit down one day and make my own cd of music to play so i can just mute the dvd and follow the workout...

and it is a good strong workout, a good balance between arms and legs. i don't do the skips during the boosted walking; i just jog in place through it all. the stretchie band makes it interesting. even though it's as long as the 4 mile super challenge, it feels as if it goes by faster.

so, if you can stand the incessant dialogue, you can get a good advanced workout.
