Certified instructor description: Five easy-to-follow indoor “walks.” For maximum motivation and variety, Leslie uses a different technique in each program. Day One is the easiest; it’s a straight-forward mix of Leslie’s four basic steps — kicks, marches, knee lifts and step-touches. The next three workouts incorporate light toning that targets a specific body area: abs, upper body and lower body (e.g. squats during a march to help shape your buttocks). The last series is intense — a pull-out-all-the-stops “speed walking” sequence. This is a one-on-one-with-Leslie workout — her encouraging commentary is totally focused on you (not a big class). Note: All five workouts use the same warm-up and cooldown. DVD also has a “play all” function that provides a challenging, 85-minute, 5-mile workout. ©2008. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Leslie Sansone's 5-Day Slim Down

Lost 9 pounds!
I absolutely love this video! I lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks from exercising and eating less. Leslie's exercising steps are so easy and fun to follow. I would definitely recommend this video! - posted by Gina on 2/9/2012
Leslie is terrific!
I now have half dozen videos of her, and I can't get enough of her upbeat personality. Her videos are very informative, easy steps, and get a good heart rate going. Thanks Leslie!! - posted by Jennifer on 1/30/2012
Great Variety
I love the 5 different workouts each with a different emphasis. I enjoy being able to put together my own workout for the day with the warm up, one or more walking exercises and the cool down. Leslie is very encouraging and upbeat. - posted by Karen on 1/28/2012
Good workout plan
I am 56 years old and have been working out for over 10 years but only about 2-4 times a week. I have realized I can't do as much as I used to do but know I have to keep moving and get my heartrate up. I have done the whole 5 miles and I have done just the 12 minute mile several times. The 12 minute mile is great if you need to warm up for any workout. The 5 miles was alittle challenging but not exhausting. Leslie does a great job keeping you motivated. I would recommend this video, especially if you live in a cold climate where you can't get outside to walk. - posted by Georgann on 1/5/2012
Keeps me going
I love this Leslie Sansone DVD! It's just enough to keep me motivated to move and stay healthy each day, but not too much that I feel that it's interfering time-wise with other responsibilities of work and family. It's perfect for a busy woman! - posted by Diane on 12/8/2011
Standby Favorite
I really enjoy this DVD simply because it goes fluidly from each mile to the next and because it is just Leslie by herself. I like that Leslie mixes it up with toning moves which is a nice change of pace from her typical walking DVDs. You can make this harder by using bigger movements or adding hand weights for the toning components. I try to do the full 5 mile DVD at least once every 2 weeks. I seem to do 3 miles as my normal standby. - posted by Charlotte on 11/26/2011
my favorite
I took another reviewers advice, and now do the speed walk first (to get up the heartrate) and then do one other mile(usually arms, legs or tummy miles). It doesn't take long to do two miles, and really gets you pumped up and feeling good! I get bored if I do more than two miles, (as with all walking tapes), but I love that this DVD lets me put together really good 2 mile walks in a few different ways! The express walk is a great way to start it off! - posted by Lynn on 9/19/2011
Doesn't Dissapoint
AS upbeat and doable as all her fun walking videos, the format lets you do as little or as much as you want. I'll do 1 mile as a Warm up before lifting or I'll do 3 miles as a full cardio session. - posted by Teddy on 8/28/2011
perfect way to mix up an easy walking workout
I've done Leslie's walk videos for years and I appreciate having 5 options to mix and match depending on my mood. I'm an intermediate exerciser so I pick these for my easy days, to convince myself to get out of bed in the morning, but if you stack 2 or 3 of these together you can get a pretty good workout. Love the flexibility with this video. If you're new to exercise, coming back from an injury, or want to keep things strictly low-impact, I'd recommend it. - posted by blurooferika on 8/4/2011
Nice NEW Workout
I've been using Leslie's videos for years. I had the original WATP with the sand filled balls, Walk Express with the stretchy, and her older Walk & Firm, Walk & Kick, etc. I used to be able to do the Firm and Denise Austin - jumpy, jumpy, jumpy - videos, but my 49 year old knees and ankles (previous injuries), cannot take the stress. I've tried other videos, but still have knee/ankle issues. But not with Leslie! I like this video, it's nice to pick how many miles you want to do, or which mile, i.e., sculpt your arms, slim your legs, etc. You could add hand weights or weighted gloves if you want to bump it up a notch. For all of you Leslie veterans out there, try buying a ten pound weighted vest that's adjustable and start adding a few pounds each week to the vest and do her videos. Makes them a new challenge, without any joint stress! Thanks Leslie! - posted by Lisa on 8/3/2011

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.

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.
