The Miracle Mile with Leslie Sansone targets those looking for a basic low-impact fitness plan. This 20-minute program incorporates 15 minutes of walking and five minutes of toning exercises that will help any beginner get started on the right track. Instructor Leslie Sansone is well informed and encouraging as the fundamentals of this in-home walking program are explained. Sansone jazzes up standard walking by incorporating wide strides, front kicks, and side steps. The choreography is simple and repeats enough times that even the most rhythmically challenged participant will catch on after a few tries. The inner and outer thighs get some work here with adduction and abduction exercises, while the upper body becomes central to attaining a full range of motion. Periodically throughout the session the Fit O' Meter (a bar at the bottom of the screen that keeps track of the time, distance, and pace of your walk) reminds participants how far they have come. Sansone closes the Miracle Mile with lunges, pushups, and sit-ups and offers great cuing on alignment and muscle control. This program is safe, approachable, and just what you are looking for if you just can't seem to get started. --Olivia Voigts

From the Back Cover

Designed and led by Walkaerobics creator Leslie Sansone, this program allows you to walk off excess weight and inches right in front of your television. You'll do the equivalent of a one-mile outdoor walkBACKCOVER: Let it rain! Let it snow! You can walk off extra pounds in the comfort of your own home with this new video from Walkareobics. This 60-minute exercise video is a great way to walk up to four milest right and the music is terrific. My new "weight loss walk" video is energizing and easy to follow. Today, research has shown that 30 minutes of walking done four or five times a week at a moderate pace has the same cardiovascular benefit as 30 minutes of jogging two or three times a week. And, it's easier and safer.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Exercise Video, November 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Miracle Mile With Leslie Sansone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I like several of Leslie Sansone's walking workout videos. From best to worst, here's how I rank the 5 I own:

2-MILE WALK -- 5 STARS. Her best video. Good pace, lots of variety. Not too hard for a beginner. It has a mileage gauge, which helps keep me going. (1996)

MIRACLE MILE -- 4½ STARS. A 1-mile walking workout in 15 minutes, plus a cool down and stretches. Great for those days when I haven't much time but I want to get some quick exercise in. Also good on days of cramps, if tired, etc. (1996)

WEIGHT LOSS WALK -- 3½ STARS. Has 3 20-minute segments of 1 mile, 1.5 miles, and 1.5 miles. Excellent for variety. Handy for those days when I want a different distance. Segments can be done alone or combined for a wide variety of distances -- up to 4 miles. A mix of familiar and different movements. Some of the exercises are a little goofy but it's good variety. Don't like the silent gaps between songs. (1993)

Not recommended:
PLUS 40 WORKOUT -- 2 STARS. A 2-mile workout, not nearly as good as "2-MileWalk". Seems somewhat amateurish. Has silent gaps between songs. (1989)

WALK & FIRM -- 2 STARS. Leslie with hand weights doing safe and simple exercises. Unfortunately, I really can't get into it, and I've never finished the video. (1998)

Leslie's videos are hard enough but not too hard for people just getting back into exercise. When I use them daily (especially mornings) I find I'm much less hungry all day. I've lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks. I try to exercise daily but usually do so 4-6 times a week. I feel better, sleep better, and have better posture.

5.0 out of 5 stars This video got me hooked on walkaerobics!, November 28, 1999

I started a diet and Leslie Sansone's walkaerobics program the same day. Leslie is so encouraging that I didn't quit when I found the first day somewhat difficult. My legs tired, but I slowed down as she suggested during the video and was able to complete the one mile walk. Since that time, I have completed the one mile walk with increasing ease. Now I have the two mile walk video and the video for people over 40. I love them all. I have learned that low impact aerobics mixed with walking can be fun and definitely contribute to weight loss.

I recommend this video to any one who wants to exercise at home. I go to the gym three days a week and do the walkaerobics videos on alternate days.

This is one of my favorite Leslie Sansone walking tapes. Its a brisk 15 minute mile with upbeat music. Leslie is her usual encouraging self. She leads a group of exercisers with simple steps that are varied enough to prevent boredom but low impact and easy to do. I pop in the tape for a quick walk after meals. It burns calories yet doesn't take a lot of time. At the end of the tape she leads you in a few minutes of toning exercises. A super video!
