There are two DVDs in the case. The first one is called Fast Start and has a 2 mile interval walk on it (she lets you know when one mile is done so if you don't want to do 2 miles, you can skip to the cool down). She does her usual moves (marching, side steps, knee lifts, hamstring curls) and every few minutes gives the option of doing a higher intensity burst (jog instead of march, leg swings instead of side steps). It's a perfectly fine workout and I'm sure lots of people will like it, but it didn't really appeal to me and I don't know how much use I'll get out of it. The second DVD is called 3 Fast Miles. It moves along at a pretty brisk pace. She throws in a few extra moves that you don't usually see in her workouts. Don't worry, the steps are still easy enought to catch onto, and it adds a nice bit of variety to the usual fare. There are some spots where her cueing is off, but after a couple times through you know where they are and can anticipate it. Also, late in the workout she has MaryKay lead for a little bit, but she isn't miked so you have to watch her hands to know what move is coming up. The good news is, this workout has some of the best music she's ever used. It's very up tempo and some of it is actual recognizable songs with lyrics. It makes it feel kind of party-like to me and Leslie herself is quite obviously having fun here. This is my new favorite Leslie workout!

I really enjoy Leslie Sansone dvds. I like the Walk Slim 1&2 mile, but the 3 mile is a not for me. In the 3 mile workout, the music, the walkers and the addition of new steps all over the place just left me feeling frantic instead of energized. However, the 1&2 mile is classic but improved Leslie Sansone. Just a heads up though, it is really one workout. Specifically, the 1 mile chapter option just brings you into the already started 2 mile walk. Now the 2 mile walk I really liked. I liked the music, the pace, the steps, the intervals, all of the walkers, her chatter, all of it. The intervals are, of course, periods of higher intensity exercise followed by recovery exercise. I really feel that the low impact version is the same as in her past videos - she just never called it out as such. But there has often been periods of more intensity and then back to walking. The great thing is that it really isn't distracting to have some walkers do the high impact and others the low impact. I only became a bit distracted for a very short instant during the third interval when 4 of 6 were doing high impact.
On a side note, the DVDs I received wer mislabeled. The disc for the 3 mile really had the 1/2 mile on it and vice versa. I am returning the discs to Amazon. Maybe I will buy again at a brick store for easy return in case I get another one like this. P.S. My favorite leslie Sansone are express 4 mile super challenge and WATP 3 mile fat burner.

I own several Leslie DVD's and REALLY, REALLY enjoy the faster pace of these two workouts (2 mile and 3 mile.) The two mile workout comes in at about 30 minutes, and the three mile workout is about 45 minutes; neither is choreographically challenging, but you will work up a good sweat! Leslie is as chatty as ever, the music is better than ever, and the setting is ... updated! The interesting camera work and black background give it a fresh, modern look different from the "garden patio" or "window" settings of her other workouts ... and it's just plain fun!

let me tell you i have done alot of leslies videos and this one is awesome it is sooooooooooooo much fun to do and you will definetly feel it the next day. i know alot of people dont like to hear her chatter but this one is so much fun to watch because it has awesome music and it is very uplifting. of all her videos this 3 mile one is the only one i am going to use from now on. i used a perdometer and it calculated 5894 steps short of 106 for the 6000 you walk for a regular 3 mile walk. trust me this one is fun.for those of you who cant stand the chatter it has a music only button.

I ordered the Walk Slim Fast Start & 3 Fast Miles, thinking they would be similar to other Leslie Sansone work-outs. I should have tuned into the word "fast" in the title, but it went right over my head. These workouts are definitely faster than most of her other workouts. Since I am 58 years old, overweight, and have been dealing with rheumatoid arthritis for 10 years, they proved to be a little fast for me. I can do the two mile on a good day, but the three-mile is beyond my reach at the moment.

However, I think that younger people in good shape would really like both workouts.I have read reviews of Leslie's walks saying they are not challenging enough. Well,these two are! The music is snappy and you will really get a good workout if you can keep up and make it to the end! You will also use your abs a lot. I am sure you would lose weight if you did these regularly.

I am a longtime Leslie Sansone fan and this series is absolutely her best yet!! The music is pumped up and motivating and boosted walking makes all the difference in the world. As a happy,longtime member of Leslie's WalkClub,the Fast Start walk is very special as it has three of our wonderful,incredible WalkClub members in it. The three gals Leslie talks to at the end of FastStart are all WalkClub members who,like so many,myself included,have had AMAZING success with Leslie's programs.

3 Fast Miles is just plain fun! EVERYONE is having a great time walking to high energy,positive music. Leslie is,as usual,so spirited and lively.

This DVD is awesome!! She still keeps it simple but pumps up her walking routine. There is no way you won't see results using this workout.DEFINITELY Leslie at her very best!!

I now have seven diff. Leslie Workouts and normally I love them, not so with this one. It seems production was rushed and it did not get any editing as I can see the camera guy cruising by in the background no less than 2-3 times in the two mile walk. Also as other reviews have noted, the two dvd's ARE MISLABLED which shows lack of attention or care. Leslie does not act like herself in these two workouts either. She's way too goofy and out of it, chatting about who knows what while she's out of step and changing things up without letting us know. I tried to do the 3 mile tonight but after just 3 minutes of it I was so annoyed at the program I had to take it out and put in her walk/jog dvd instead. My favorite leslie workouts are Walk/Jog and 3 mile for Abs. They are terrific but this one is not!

Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Leslie Sansone and her workouts are the only ones I can do. I'm sure Leslie wants to hear feedback from her fans regarding her workouts so here it goes: I was disappointed with the Walk Slim Fast Start 1 and 2 Mile DVD workout. I think Leslie needs a better production company. Doesn't Leslie solicit feedback from a test audience before selling her DVDs to the public? The studio was dark and dreary. Leslie was acting too silly and she spoke way too much to "Jimmy" practically ignoring everyone else. It really got on my nerves. Her cues were also off. The Walk-Away-the Pounds DVDs are probably the best produced.

I have been working out with Leslie's walking vidoes for 4 years now and love her workouts. One of the things I love about this set is the different music and the fast pace. It's also great that you can select specific chapters and do individual mile workouts if you don't have a lot of time.

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!!!
