Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home - 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk

The 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk with Leslie Sansone includes 5 different Mile segments, each under 15 minutes, so you can do one Mile or two, or all five. This video includes Boosted walking, into a light jog and other boost moves. Leslie makes it easy to do either the low-impact walking & moves, or the boosted moves. I never thought I would jog, but found I could do it with Leslie, amazing! I like to do One Mile in the morning and One Mile in the evening - so I get 30 minutes of good exercise and it does not seem like a chore! Also included is a short cool-down and stretch, although it is not on the Menu. It is at the end of Mile 5, and it is easy to use the track button on your remote to get to it if you don't want to do Mile 5. I would like it better if it were on the Menu. Miles 1 and 5 are just with Leslie, and Miles 2, 3, and 4 are with Leslie and a group. The group is nice because they are regular people, not fitness models, and it is interesting to see how different each person does the Walk with Leslie even though they stay in sync. One thing I like about Leslie is she will remind you to do what is right for you, so if kicks are not good for you that day, you can keep walking instead and you won't feel bad that you can't keep up. Bonus track is an eight minute interview with Nicole, who lost over 100 pounds walking with Leslie. Nicole is in the group segments of the workouts too. I really enjoy this particular group of workouts with Leslie, and highly recommend this DVD. I find Leslie motivating, upbeat, and habit-forming! Leslie has two beginner workouts at Realage.com (as of this writing) so you can see if you like her style or not. Those workouts are very basic so soon you will want the Five Mile Fat Burning Walk DVD to really boost those moves!

I can honestly say I am a Leslie Sansone veteran exerciser/expert since I own just about every walking video she has ever produced and work out to them often enought to have memorized all the routines. This is the one workout video I use more than any other for the following reasons .... 1) it's a 5 miler with no breaks, which means I can get in an extra long workout in less time, 2) the jogging intervals means a greater calorie burn, 3) her usual clear cues are easy to follow 4) the music and her pep talk keeps you motivated to keep going without getting bored 5) because this is a walking/jogging workout, you can vary the intensity yourself depending on your own fitness and energy level. Leslie is my favorite video exercise instructor for so many reasons, but mainly because she's such a likeable person and she makes all her workouts fun and non-intimidating or complicated. If you know how to walk, perform knee-ups, side step, perform grapevines, kick and jog, than you can do her workouts. This workout is divided into 5 X 1 mile segments. From the start menu, you can choose to do the entire workout or pick which mile to start from and go from there. Each mile ends with a 2 minute jogging interval and if you do the entire workout, you will have completed about 10 minutes of jogging. Leslie is by herself for miles 1 and 5 and has her walking buddies with her for miles 2 - 4. It should be noted for those long time Leslie fans, that a familiar face from Leslie's workout video past joins the fun in miles 3 and 4 and that mystery person is Denise, who originally joined Leslie in her 3 Mile Fat Burning workout video that was released sometime around the mid - late 90s. I recognized her right away! Sadly, Mary Kay, Joanne, Linda and Carol are not in this video. I've noticed Leslie has been introducing new walking buddies in her newer videos and she has several newbies in this one too. Incidentally, because this workout is a super calorie blaster, I have found that by doing this workout often enough, I can have weekend splurges and still maintain my weight. Another plus! I hope Leslie will release more 5 milers. I love them most of all since the 4 milers are getting too easy for me.

Getting back into an exercise program after gaining weight is really hard. I usually walk or ride my bike, but I was too heavy and embarrassed to put on active wear and go outside in public. So, this dvd was an excellent way to get back into it again. Each mile is a little bit harder and they let you know when you hit each half mile too. Leslie is very motivating and upbeat, and the steps are easy to do. Don't let "easy to do" fool you though. I work out hard and really sweat. The steps are simple to learn, but this is a really good workout. In fact, I really feel that I work out much harder than I do when I walk outside or ride my bike. After 4 weeks I'm up to 4 miles now and it's great. I've lost 7 pounds also!! I'm very happy I got this one. The music is pretty good, but since I do this 4-5 times a week, I needed some different tunes or I'd lose my mind, a common problem with dvd's at home. Simple solution, put on Pandora and play your favorite dance music. It's a little off beat from the dvd, but you can still follow along easily and honestly, I think I accidentally go faster when I'm listening to my own tunes. They also do 2 minute power boosts (higher impact but not crazy) at the end of each mile so you can always work out a little harder and push yourself if you want to, or just stay at the low impact steps. I think this is a great dvd to grow with, from beginners to intermediates. Advanced people? I don't know, I would say they would be ok too, but might find it too elementary. 12 minute miles are nothing to sneeze at though, I am very proud of the fact that I've worked myself up to a 4 mile/48 minute aerobic workout. There are sneak previews on youtube of the first mile, so if you're not familiar with Leslie, you can get a glimpse. That's what I did before buying.

I love the fast pace on this one! One thing I like about Leslie is she changes with the times, but doesn't change her basic approach to weight loss and fitness. In this one, she still sticks with her basics (side-steps, kicks, kick backs, marching in place) but she has added "boosted" walking which is the latest in fitness to help boost your calorie burn! You use every muscle and my shirt is soaking wet when I'm done and I'm an advanced walker! I'm living testimony that Leslie's approach works! I've lost more than half my body, my resting pulse is 60 (I'm in my 50s), blood pressure is nice and low and I'm in the best shape of my life. People guess my age to be 15-18 years less than I am. And I was someone who "never" exercised. Her approach to fitness is not intimating, she doesn't "yell" and make you think you're not doing something right. She always tells you "you can't do it wrong. If you keep moving, you're going to get fit." I love Leslie! I will never stop walking this way--I'm addicted now--I exercise every day. I love the talking too! Leslie's fun and she's a wonderful person that keeps you motivated and coming back for more. Some of these fitness instructors are so intimating and their approach to fitness is so overwhelming, that you're more inclined to give up. Not so with Leslie!! She's a great personal trainer! She's always encouraging and she looks and acts like a "real" person. I always buy a new tape to add to my library for the winter to keep me active and keep those pounds from creeping on over winter. Leslie keeps me fit without having to leave my house. If you're up for the challenge give this a try. All you have to lose is weight!!

I've been working out every morning for the last 6 years in an effort to take off the baby weight. (Familiar story, anyone?) I was an ExerciseTV devotee, and I've been trying to build my own library since the channel was pulled in December of 2011. As a point of reference, I consider myself "fitter than average" - although far from "athletic," and my favorite workouts tend to be bootcamp-style, with a preference for Jillian Michaels videos. So I do like to work hard. I don't really think anyone's body can handle high-impact aerobics, plyometrics or weight training every day, so I started doing Leslie's "Start Walking" videos on ExerciseTV on my the days between my more rigorous sessions. While I have to admit I found them a little silly at first, they really did grow on me. They're fun,they get the job done, and they don't hurt! When my treadmill broke and I was training for a 40 mile charity walk, these videos became a lifesaver on days when I couldn't get outside. I purchased the "5 Mile Fat Burning Walk" because, with the mile markers, I figured I could do a 2 mile walk on tight mornings, and maybe 5 miles on a weekend. This was fully intended to be a workout for my lazier mornings, but I have to admit: I love it - and it's challenging! This is really the first Leslie video I've tried that isn't too lightweight. Three miles makes a great morning workout, and really feels like I've just jogged a 5K. While Leslie's high-pitched laugh and overly sunny attitude can seem like a lot to take for many people, I'm OK with it. Admittedly, she's perhaps a little irritating at times (really - does anyone love walking THAT much?) but it's totally worth it for this incredibly practical and effective workout. And she times her chatter well: She'll be talking about how a mile a day is just perfect for you, and you'll realize you've just spent a minute doing standing crunches as she's finishing her little monologue. All in all, while the moves may be a little repetitious, the changes in cast and music will keep you from getting bored. And the pace is great - 12 minute miles with two minutes of "boosted walking" or, as you might call it, "jogging" in each. This is a fun, manageable calorie-burner, perfect for the advanced-beginner or intermediate exerciser who has limited time to workout in the morning, but may want to put in a full hour on weekends. It's also a great bargain. This can be broken up into workouts of varying lengths, so it's literally five workouts for the price of one.

I am a devoted customer of Leslie Sansone. I have practically all of her videos and this one is good to have in your video library. Overall, the music is great it is modern and helps you keep up the pace. It is takes less time to complete each mile and the cool-down is longer, she incorporates yoga postures that give you an excellent stretch. This video will add variety to your Walk at Home collection. I am an advanced walker and was looking for a walk that covered a lot of miles in a shorter period of time, her other 5 mile walks were well over an hour and they begin to become monotonous after a while. Though there are no new walking moves on this tape, the new five mile walk is a time saver and a better calorie burner than the others because the pace is a bit faster. Each mile is 12-13 minutes with the last 2 minutes of "boosted walking" (jogging). It's important for consumers to know that with all of Leslie Sansone's walking tapes you are not walking an actual mile. If you are trying to lose weight, the focus now-a-days is on the number of steps one walks. Because this video is designed for the advanced walker, I hoped that Leslie would have created actual 12 minute miles with this new video. But her miles (Leslie Miles) are measured by the beats in the music and a real walking mile is measured by the number of steps that you take. This is very important if you are counting calories because there is a significant difference between the calories burned at a brisk walking pace of 5 mph verses 4 mph. It's best to use a pedometer if you are counting calories or steps.

I have been a Leslie Sansone fan for many years and own lots of her videos; the 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk, by far, my favorite! I would definitely say that this video (if you do the entire thing) is geared to intermediate/advanced exercisers. If you are a beginner, consider just doing a mile or two and working up towards the whole workout. I loved the fact that the video breaks each mile down individually. The first and fifth mile have only Leslie leading. The second, third, and fourth mile include several other walkers and different music for each mile. I LOVE the music on this video more than any of the other videos. The miles are completed MUCH faster than Leslie's other videos. I also believe this 5 mile workout goes by very quickly! EACH mile is 12-13 minutes and is roughly broken down as follows: -Approx. 5 min of moderate walking -Approx. 5 min of brisk/"power walking" -2 min of "boosted walking" The boosted walking is actually gentle jogging and "boosted" forms of kicks and knee lifts. Walkers have the option of joining Leslie with the boosted walking or just power walking. She insists that even if you are unable to do the higher impact version, lower impact is just fine. There really is no warm-up (even in the first segment), but there is a cool down at the end of the video that lasts 6 minutes. If you do the entire video, the workout will last 68 minutes. I would recommend this video especially to Leslie Sansone Veteran Walkers, but beginners can easily grow and advance as their fitness improves.

As I read reviews of workouts, I always wonder about the person writing it, everyone is at a different fitness level. I am 25 years old, and at a beginning to intermediate fitness level. I bought this DVD two years ago to help me maintain my fitness during the winter. I am at an appropriate weight and am simply trying to maintain that. This video is broken into 5 twelve minute miles. Each mile ends with a two minute boost which is a "gentle jog" she encourages people who can't/don't want to, to continue walking. The music is techno sounding. Pro's: You can choose how many miles you want to do. I often only do two of the 5 miles because that's what time allows. You can choose which mile you want to start at. After getting tired of doing miles 1&2 all the time, I started doing miles 3&4. Each mile has different people walking with Leslie, they are average people, some larger than others, none of them look like an impossible to reach goal. Leslie's cuing is good, she counts and tells you what is coming. The video focuses on feet until you get the movements down. Leslie is perky and encouraging (some people find this annoying, but I prefer this than the drill type videos). Con's You can only get to the cool down if you select mile five, it is imbedded into the end of that mile. For some reason Leslie's cuing in mile 4 is not up to par with the rest of the video. The video also shows more faces than feet in this mile.

Video perfetto anche se usato

You'll burn fat in this one, all right! Choose from five 12-minute miles for when you're pressed for time or do them all at once! This is a high-energy walk that includes 2-minute 'boosts' (gentle jogs) at the end of every mile. Leslie has some great interaction with her cast at times - she's got such a great sense of humor! I like doing this one first thing in the a.m. before work - I can get a good 2 miles done and do a cool-down and stretch in just under 30 minutes. I'd recommend it for Intermediate - might be a bit brisk for anyone who hasn't exercised in a long time. But as always, you can definitely modify the moves to suit your own fitness level, such as sticking to a power walk when Leslie goes into the boost - she'll tell you that herself as well. Highly recommended

dass die Workouts von Leslie Sansone in Deutschland nicht bekannter sind. Es handelt sich hierbei und ein Low-Impact-Training, das zwar fordert, aber für jeden machbar ist und nicht erschöpft. Ein wunderbares Cardiotraining, für jeden machbar, da man die Intensität auf die eigenen Bedürfnisse anpassen kann. Die Programme von Leslie erstecken sich über 1-Mile-Workouts bis hin zu 5 Meilen, die dann aber auch Zeit erfordern, da man für die fünf Meilen ca. 1 Stunde, 20 Minuten (inkl. Stretching) rechnen muss. Allerdings finde ich die kurzen Workouts sehr ansprechend, wenn man mal nicht viel Zeit hat, sich aber trotzdem mal bewegen möchte. Keine Entschuldigung mehr für die "ich hab keine Zeit für Sport-Fraktion" - 15 - 20 Minuten SIND für jeden machbar. Ab und an nervt mich Leslies Dauerbrabbeln Für Andere ist es motivierend, es lenkt ab und die Zeit vergeht schneller. Mir wirds manchmal zu viel und ich greife auf meinen MP3 zurück und schalte Leslie stumm. Ansonsten, ich wiederhole mich. Tolles Produkt, tolle Workouts, Leslie ist sehr sympatisch und ich kann sie nur weiter empfehlen

Leslie s'entoure de femmes (et d'un homme) de tous âges, qui ont eu ou non à lutter contre le poids. On cale ses pas ou sa course sur place sur la personne qui nous correspond par son âge, sa corpulence ou son niveau. On choisit de toujours marcher, ou d'alterner avec des pas à base de jogging. Ce programme ne nécessite pas d'avoir beaucoup de place. Il est toutes zones, donc visible en Europe ! et s'adresse aux débutants comme aux confirmés. Leslie et les autres marcheurs sont très motivants.

Ottimi esercizi. Leslie Sansone é sicuramente simpatica e trascina facilmente anche i piu' pigri. Rispetto ad altri suoi lavori manca l'utilissimo (a mio parere) countdown sullo schermo che indica quanto manca al termine della sessione. Leslie é molto chiaccherona e ha un entusiasmo molto americano. Puo' piacere o infastidire
