Certified instructor description: An indoor walking program with a Pilates-style focus on alignment and core engagement (the DVD also has a 12-minute “bonus” Pilates matwork segment). As in all Leslie’s workouts, you get energetic cuing and super-easy-to-follow moves. But this one also features new variations like backward marches and “power knees.” In addition, Leslie talks about the benefits of Pilates and incorporates its principles into many movements (e.g. “focus on your breath,” “draw your belly to your spine”). The last “mile” even includes some Pilates-inspired standing legwork. One-on-one cuing. ©2009. DVD has: Chapter menus, Music only option.

Leslie Sansone's 3 Mile Slim & Sleek Walk

Love the variety of new moves
Three years ago a "Walk at Lunch" group was started where I work. Our company purchased 3 different Leslie Sansone Walk at Home videos that we have been using and we were all getting bored with the same videos. I found CollageVideo and decided to order this one since I had no exposure to Pilates and share it with the group. It's quick and a fabulous workout with just a reference to posture relative to Pilates. If you need a Pilates video I would look elsewhere but there are some new moves that we enjoy. Ages in this group go from early 40's to mid 60's and we meet in a conference room every day for 45 minutes. This video has provided relief from the boredom of the same "Four basic steps" and makes us engage our brain as well as our bodies. This video is a hit with our group. - posted by Jessica on 11/10/2011
Great workout!
Love this workout! It's the perfect length for me. If I only do 30 minutes I don't feel like I've done enough and hour long workouts cut into my getting ready for work routine too much. I love walking workouts, they are about the only thing I can manage to do at 5:30 in the morning, don't have to think, don't have to learn any complicated steps or routines. I have quite a few Leslie and other brand/instructor walking workouts. I really felt like my core had been worked out after doing this one. It's definitely a keeper! - posted by Amy on 10/25/2011
An Intense Walking Workout
This is one of Leslie Sansone's more intense walking workouts. The "3 Mile Slim & Sleek Walk" is even more intense than the "Walk Off 10 Pounds" workout. It can actually have a higher aerobics impact if you do the optional jogging sequences. The Pilates mat work is a strong Pilates segment. I actually can't stand Pilates anymore, but I know it's good for my abs and back. I was still able to get through the Pilates segment. I'm 37 and about 20 lbs. over weight, but I never have a problem keeping up with any of Leslie's workouts, i.e. a solid intermediate level workout without any complex choreography. Her workouts are my favorites. - posted by Phyl'licia on 9/23/2011
fantastic video
This is a great video. Leslie teaches all the steps in an easy warm-up. The pace then increases. She's got a great personality and is motivating. Wonderful DVD. She is the only exerciser on the DVD so you aren't distracted by other people. It's just like a private class with her. GREAT! - posted by Kristen on 7/19/2011
3 miles goes fast
I have really come to like Leslie Sansone workouts. I always break a sweat and if the workout seems too easy, just rev it up with your own arm movements and sustained leg movements. The timer is great, it keeps you motivated to finish the whole 3 miles. I like the faster, longer mileage and hope she does more 3 mile/fast paced workouts. The music is better in this dvd. This dvd also has a few new moves. You can always add your own variation as well. Don't worry about this workout being too easy, you can make it harder if you need to...this is a good dvd for those days you take off from strength training. Hope she makes some faster walking dvds and changes up the scenery since this is in the studio. I recommend using a heart rate monitor with this dvd and you can track where you want your fat burning to be. Pilates wise...well, there is a nice leg movement exercise and some arms but if I wouldn't buy this for the pilates portion. - posted by cap on 7/12/2011
3 Mile Slim and Sleek Walk
My aerobic group loved this video. Several of them ordered this for their personal use at home. - posted by Ruth on 7/1/2011
another good video
I just really like Leslie Sansone's videos. I have different levels and miles of her videos and there is one for all my different moods that I am in when I work out. Way to Go - posted by autumn on 4/7/2011
One of my favorites
I have a number of Leslie's DVDs and I really enjoy this one. I like the new moves she put into it (running back and forth with a side to side shift and the leg circles) and her usual upbeat manner. I do wish she would have the timer in all her DVDs. For some reason I find it more motivating than just the mile markers. I don't know why she has changed to being alone in so many of her recent workouts. I kinda miss the gang. Sometimes I would watch others, like Wendy or Carol, and be challenged to kick higher or sit into the move lower. I'm a big fan of Leslie's workouts and so grateful that I found out about them -- they are sooo do-able for someone my age, 53. - posted by Patty on 2/15/2011
Love Leslie!
This DVD has some different moves. I love the walk walk shift shift like a boxer. I feel like I get a good workout and my abs feel tight and toned. Like the floor mat toning for abs. Leslie and the music get in your head and you just can't stop wanting to move. Love it! Leslie does talk a lot but she has good advice and if you listen to her often enough what she is saying stays embedded in your head and you will become healthier and the body becomes fit. She is a warm and friendly trainer. I have been walking with Leslie for 4 yrs and won't ever stop. - posted by Terrie on 2/12/2011
enjoyed this video
i have many leslie sansone videos and while this one was similar, it was still a more difficult workout---its much faster paced than the other 3 mile video i have and some of the moves were slightly different. i enjoy doing this video and feel like i've had a workout when i'm finished. she talks a lot about pilates but it seems to me that the way she does this workout is not that different than her others--i recommend this video though as the pace is fast and i think you will feel like you accomplished something when you finish - posted by susan on 2/3/2011

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Music only option
X
This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).
