Leslie Sansone's Advanced 5-Mile Walk |
  No Warm Up / Aerobics Impact Should not be Labeled "Lower" |
| This video has no warm-up. Goes straight into fast pace walking. I have been walking for several months (outside) 2 miles six times per week no problem. I did 3 of these 5 miles last weekend and sprained my ankle. Definitely warm up before doing this video. There is a lot more impact on the joints in this indoor walking than walking outside. The video includes a stretch band so it is a good buy but Leslie talks a lot during the stretch band segment and hardly uses it. It is wrapped around her waist or bunched up in one hand most of the video. My main concern with this video is the lack of warm-up and impact on the joints. It is like stomping your feet non stop for an extended period of time. - posted by Lily on 10/30/2009 |

| 5-Mile Walk Advanced |
| I absolutely love this video. I've been working out with Leslie since February and have tried three of her other videos (which I loved them all). It's just good to change them up some. Just wanted to give kudo's to Leslie and let everyone know if you're need a little more of a challenge with Leslie, get this one. - posted by Jeri on 10/25/2009 |

| LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!! |
| I love this video! I have tons of workout videos collecting dust but this Leslie workout is just that! Its intense and I am sweating buckets when I am done! I feel great and have finally seen some results! Leslie is encouraging and uplifting. I feel like she is in the room with me and its great! I love doing this video so much that I even work out while my husband is sitting on the couch holding the baby. I dont care if he sees me, I just wanna keep going. Rock on Leslie! - posted by Samantha on 8/1/2009 |

| Booster Friendly/Variety |
| If you like walk boosters you will enjoy a mile with weights, the belt, and the firm band. One mile is a fast walk and the other is a fast walk with boosted walking (jogging.) I enjoyed the variety of the miles because of the boosters. There are different walkers in each mile. The only thing is that it takes a little longer to finish the entire five miles because the miles with boosters are slightly slower. But, that doesn't mean you aren't working since you have the boosters! - posted by Atara on 7/16/2009 |

| Great For My Active Rest Day |
| I agree with the previous poster that this may not be an int/advanced workout but could be for those that do mostly this instructors workouts. Here is what I suggest for that poster and to others who will maybe then love this workout. I use this and other Leslie Sansone walking workouts on my active rest day. It is recommended to have one rest day if you work out hard the rest of the week, which I do. I am an advanced exerciser, who does Cathe, Patrick Goudeau, Christi Taylor, and others so on my rest day, rather than do nothing, I prefer active rest which is also recommended. This involves either walking, stretching, light biking, housework, etc... I found this workout to be perfect. I get a nice 5 mile walk with an instructor with a great personality. Also, if you feel like walking and it is a bad weather day, you are set. Sometimes walking workouts don't "feel" like they are doing much, since you are not sweating buckets, but I find over time, they do help take off inches and pounds. I love this one! - posted by Jill Sherry on 6/28/2009 |

| Int/Adv--No Way! |
| Ok, let me first say, this is my first Leslie video and my first walking video ever too. And since it is a walking video I couldn't really imagine how it could be all that intense. Maybe this video is "intermediate/advanced" for a Leslie Sansone video, but certainly not for any other cardio videos. I have many cardio workouts that are rated as "intermediate" that are MUCH more advanced than walking in place, low front kicks, side to side stepping. I don't see how this can be rated as any higher than beginner. I spent a very boring hour and when I was done, felt like I could have gotten a better workout cooking dinner or grocery shopping. I'm very glad I rented my first Leslie video instead of buying it, because I won't be buying one. Leslie did seem nice and caring, but I didn't feel like this was at all an int/adv workout. - posted by Jayne on 6/21/2009 |

| Overall good - low on stretch and strength |
| There are many options in this DVD. I did the Advanced 5 mile choice and I enjoyed it. I can't think of many DVD's where I can do 60 minutes of cardio and not scream. I love her positive attitude and interaction with the other walkers. The two quick miles were fun! I thought she could have done more with the belt and stretchie miles. I'm always wanting more toning. The mile with the hand weights was good because you held them the entire time. I had to do more stretches at the end - hers only had calf and thigh stretches. Overall, I love it as a long cardio workout because it goes by quickly and doesn't jar my body. - posted by Stephanie on 6/20/2009 |

| Dissapointing |
| This is not advanced at all. Personally, this is my least favorite. It does not get my heart rate up like other Leslie tapes. I just finished the workout and did all 5 miles, and felt like a waist of time. Really boring... - posted by Magda on 1/26/2009 |

| I Dropped 30 lbs |
| I am 61yrs old and have not been very consistent about exercising. Having fibromyalgia, anything over a 20 minute video seemed to drag me down. I wanted to lose the weight before my sons wedding and I made it half the way. I was so grateful that I was able to work up to the 5 miles, people noticed the difference, but more importantly, I feel so much better. My fibromyalgia is almost nonexistent. I'm not saying it will work that well for everyone, but after being home bound with it for almost a decade, my life is so much fuller. Now that I've been doing 5 miles a day, exercising is no longer a choice, but mandatory. I forgot to mention that one of the other gifts I received from doing Leslie's 5 mile tape was that I haven't had a feeling of depression in over a year. God Bless you Leslie and friends! - posted by Susan on 1/6/2009 |

| Great!!!! |
| This is such a great workout. Because of the versatility I was able to take this on my vacation and had my choice of what session I wanted for the day. Good job Leslie!!!! - posted by Joyce on 10/5/2008 |
