Leslie Sansone 5-Day Slim Down |
 5 options for 5 days or however you choose |
| I like the idea of 5 (1) mile walks with a separate warm up and cool down. You can mix and match however you like. Leslie doesn't use any boosters but you could if you choose to. Depending on how much you put into it, you can work up quite a sweat. This was the first DVD I bought that featured Leslie alone. I like her alone and with a group..depends on what I want. It's great to have a choice. The added "Breakfasts" are a nice feature also. One of my favorites. - posted by Melanie on 3/11/2010 |

 Nothing New Here |
| I have been walking with Leslie for several years and own quite a few of her videos. This one didn't offer anything that I haven't seen or heard in any of her others. Same old dialogue (walk, walk, walk), same tired music. I guess the squats in the leg slim down mile might have been new and her cool down stretch had a move she hasn't used before, but pretty much if you already own a few Leslie's, there isn't anything that special about this one. - posted by Raina on 2/23/2010 |

| Same ole stuff |
| I have about 20 of Leslies work-outs, ones from 2002 on and it doesn't matter what she calls them on the cover - it's the exact same program, same steps, same monologue in every single one of them. Leslie - please get some new material. Her old workouts from the 1990's offer a little more variety of steps/routines and a much less scripted, more relaxed dialogue. I've gone back to those. - posted by Cassidy on 1/21/2010 |

| Better Than I Thought! |
| I really wasn't sure about this workout DVD before I got it and tried it for a few weeks. I thought that I would get bored of doing the same warm up and cool down everyday but I'm not! The workouts themselves are so great, challenging, and motivating that during the warm up I am just looking forward to my workout and the cool down goes so fast it's great. You just can't beat this workout. I am so pleased with it. I highly recommend it to both beginners and advanced exercisers. You will get a great walking workout every time! - posted by Emily on 1/21/2010 |

| LOVE this one, my Fave Leslie dvd |
| I own many of Leslie's workouts, lost 70 pounds with her, and this one is my favorite. You can do as many miles as you want...stay with the "mile each morning" as she suggests, or on a day when you have the time and energy, do all five! Easy to follow, and I like that it is just Leslie on this one, rather than her whole group exercising with her. As you advance, you can add light hand weights to the arm mile, wear ankle weights, etc., to boost intensity. The leg mile still makes me sore and I've been exercising daily for about 3 years! I love the breakfast segment at the end, too...it's fun to see Leslie cooking. I highly recommend this video to exercisers of all fitness levels, it is a good workout. - posted by Julie (Busy Mom of Seven Gets in Shape) on 1/20/2010 |

| Varied and FUN! |
| I really enjoy this DVD from Leslie. She is constantly improving, making her Walks more varied and fun. The choice of 1 mile up to 5 with emphasis on different areas is great. I just recently started exercising again regularly and I feel the difference in my energy level, sleep, and attitude. These Walking DVD's are easy to "boost" making them ideal for beginners, and more advanced exercisers. I will be buying more of Leslie's DVD's. - posted by Melanie on 1/14/2010 |

| my favorite |
| This is my favorite Leslie Sansone video. I own at least ten and this is the one I go to when I have extra energy. Great music and it goes by so fast. I wish all her videos were at least 5 miles. - posted by kathy on 1/1/2010 |

| Not her best work |
| Don't get me wrong, I adore Leslie, but this workout had me irritated from the get-go. First off, the pace was just unbearably slow for me; I didn't even break a sweat (and I always sweat doing her 4 and 5 mile walks!). I realize 4 of the 5 miles are 14 mins. each, but they felt even longer than that. Add to that the fact that there is next to no cuing whatsoever (Leslie has never been a superb cuer, but this time she's really all over the place and at times doesn't even let you know what move is next), and the new arm and leg movements to me were odd and felt unnatural. Ah well, this one's going back, and I'll stick to her awesome 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk instead. - posted by Meri on 12/28/2009 |

| Impressed with the variety and intensity |
| I wasn't sure I would like Leslie by herself without a group of walkers. After using this DVD for the last 2 weeks, I am impressed. The pace is brisk, Leslie introduces some new moves. I now have 3 different programs by Leslie, and I rotate them so I don't get bored. Definitely a great place to start if you're a beginner. These DVD's grow with you. - posted by Melanie on 11/27/2009 |
