Leslie Sansone's 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk |
  VERY GOOD WORKOUT! |
| I really liked this DVD. I loved the fact that it was so varied. The 1st and 5th mile, Leslie is on her own and in between, she has her group with her. I love the fact that all miles are very quick and at then end the boosted walk is great. Leslie should continue to do these 5 miles tape, some alone, some with groups and they really deliver. Great job! LOLA - posted by LOLA on 10/9/2009 |

| Already working |
| My husband and I are new to aerobic workouts. He has a bad knee and an elbow that almost always hurts (he's an auto technician). After using this program for only one week - 1 mile for 5 nights and 1 1/2 miles for 2 nights - he claims he moves better and his elbow is feeling much better. He doesn't seem to mind the "chatty girlfriend talk" on the program which I thought would bother him. Even though he's had plenty of good reasons NOT walk at night, he hasn't even tried to opt out. I'm so proud of him and grateful for this great program. - posted by Brenda on 10/1/2009 |

| Good if you enjoy Leslie walks w/a group & alone |
| Some reviewers prefer Leslie with a group of walkers behind her, and some prefer her alone. If you enjoy the variety of both in one DVD, or are new to Leslie workouts, you will probably like this video. In Miles 1 & 5 Leslie is alone. In Miles 2,3,4 she has a group. I always enjoy the uncomplicated choreography of Leslie's videos, and would not want to see drastic changes there. The wall clock is a nice addition. I like the newer music; good for the Leslie fan that has several of her videos. However, I gave this 4 stars because a walker that appears only in miles 2 & 4 is very distracting and annoying to me, with overexaggerated hip movements. Seems to fit more with the dancier style workouts, not this. So I won't use those miles, but will keep the video for the variety of 1, 3, & 5. - posted by Ruby on 9/24/2009 |

| Fun Fast-Paced Walk! |
| Leslie does the same moves and steps in her workouts. She just varies the pace. In this particular DVD, the walks are fast-paced and I love it! Complaints that the miles drag on forever...hello? There are five 12-14 minute mile walks in this DVD. I don't think doing one 12 minute mile or 14 minute mile is dragging at all. This DVD is a great buy because of the fast walks and the fact that you can do a short 12 minute or 14 minute walk or a 60 minute walk depending on your schedule. - posted by Camille on 9/18/2009 |

| Great workout! |
| I really liked this workout, it held my interest better than her 5 Mile Advanced Walk, and I got a major calorie burn! - posted by Amy on 9/16/2009 |

| GOOD WORKOUT |
| I am an experienced exerciser and even taught aerobics and strength training classes for many years. 2 1/2 yrs ago I was in a terrible auto accident and had a fractured pelvis in 4 places plus many other serious injuries. My stamina is not what it should be also my left leg does not move like it should so this workout is good but I do have to add 2 lb hand weights which is OK because that tones my arms also. I do get bored with it at times but I do walk for 60 minutes outside when I can, instead. I do hope she makes another 5-6 mile DVD which includes more jogging and maybe incorporate hand weights in the walking portion. I need a little more advanced one, but I do like her videos, I have many. - posted by DENISE on 8/26/2009 |

| Really liked it! |
| But I should preface my review by saying that I add 2-lb hand weights to the workout (except for the jogging segments), and I love running, so the jogging segments (boosted walking) at the end of each mile really appeal to me. Also, because running is a bit repetitive, and some would consider monotonous, I actually prefer the repetition and simplicity of Leslie's choreography, versus a dancing workout for example, which is not my thing. If you like more complex and varied steps, however, you might be bored. The music is much improved on this DVD--techno versus the oldies she used to use ad nauseam (yuck!). Also, the variety of having her alone in the first and fifth miles, and different groups in miles two through four, is something I unexpectedly enjoyed. Advanced exercisers should not be deterred, though as I mentioned above, I would recommend hand weights and some added moves: lateral raises with the side steps, shoulder presses with the knee lifts, for example. All-around great workout, and I hope Leslie continues to make longer workouts like this, with the boosted walking. - posted by Stephanie on 8/16/2009 |

| Just OK |
| Same stuff as 4 Fast miles and Morning Mile. It's nice to see Chrissy has lost lots of weight (though Leslie fails to mention this). I'm not sure if I'm keeping it yet or not. It does not seem much different than what I've already got. Having segmented miles is good, but I've already got that with morning mile. These are supposed to be faster, but somehow the intensity doesn't seem to be there. It's just OK. I guess if you don't have any Leslie videos this would be really good, but if you are adding to a collection this is not anything you don't already have. Sounds like I'm returning it. - posted by Mary on 8/14/2009 |

| Boring! |
| I had this DVD for all of 2 days when I decided it needed to go. I enjoy the concept of 5 individual miles to fit your schedule as needed. I though, find this DVD to drag on and the miles seemed to last for ever. I was also distracted by a walker, Nicole, I just couldn't get past her persona. Not Leslie's best nor is it challenging. Pretty boring workout as far as in-home walking goes. This seems to be a common trend among her most recent releases. - posted by Julia on 8/7/2009 |

| It Works |
| Used heart rate monitor for a bit of fun and burned 480 calories. Effective dvd. Personally I enjoy Leslie with a group behind her. Good tape but I feel she is not as enjoyable whilst on her own. Otherwise effective. - posted by Luli on 8/2/2009 |
