Time graph for Leslie's Fast & Firm: 4 Really Big Miles
An indoor, walking-style fat-burner that builds in intensity. You can start with the first segment and gradually work your way to a higher fitness level (each of the four “miles” gets faster and more challenging). As always, Leslie’s enthusiasm is inspiring and her choreography is easy to follow. The first two segments are classic Walk Aerobics — just four basic moves: marches, kicks, side-steps and step-touches. The third mile speeds it up with gentle jogging and simple grapevines. The final segment uses an optional resistance band to tone your upper body as it boosts the cardio effectiveness. Includes some recognizable vocal hit songs (e.g. “Everybody Dance Now”). A 5-foot resistance band is optional. ©2007. DVD has: Chapter menus, Close captions.

Leslie's Fast & Firm: 4 Really Big Miles

My Absolute Favorite Leslie Video
This is for sure my favorite by far. Music changed except for a couple favorites, new people and a few new steps. I love that the boosted walk (okay little jogging) segments. I have a hard time sweating, but I was sweating before the end of the 2nd mile. Way to go Leslie and Thank you! - posted by Jeri on 5/27/2009
Great Workout!!!!
I've been working out for over 20 yrs. Infact, I taught aerobics for most of them. I did this workout for the first time this morning & broke a sweat! I did however, use 2 1/2lb weights & added a few variations of my own. But with the fast pace she keeps throughout the 4 miles, with or without the weights, you get a great cardio, low impact workout. This is great on mornings I don't feel like doing step or a really high impact workout, but know that I am still getting the benifits of a cardio workout. I like to change my routines now & then so I have added a few of Leslie's tapes to my collection. This is by far, (next to 4 Fast Miles), one of my favorites!!! This is a definite keeper in my workout library!!! - posted by Karen on 1/5/2009
Another good Leslie, but...
her workouts are so similar that it sure would be nice for her to use some new music all the way through a workout for a change. She uses the same music to death. The "Everybody" song needs to be given a well deserved rest for awhile. Otherwise, it's another upbeat Leslie workout with her well-known cast of background exercisers. Very enjoyable, but please, please - how about some new music? - posted by Lisa on 1/4/2009
Love, love, love this DVD! A Leslie Sansome-Must Buy!
I am a true Leslie Sansone fan and have almost all of her walking workout videos. However, this has to be one of my favorite Leslie workout tapes. Why? The music is very energizing and Leslie is her usual upbeat self. Each mile builds in intensity and gradually increases in speed. The movements are very basic yet challenging and enjoyable. The last mile incorporates a resistance band to tone the upper body. - posted by Andora on 1/1/2009
I thought it couldn't be better than some others she has....
This one lives up to the ratings. It was a lot of fun, a good workout and I am so glad she included lots of boosts in the third mile. What is great about Leslie's workouts is that really you can always use them, even when super fit, because all you have to do is convert to a jumping movement, or a boosted movement. I do this frequently and it is awesome. I like Leslie a lot, and I think she is super genuine. - posted by Kristen on 11/11/2008
Love Walk & Slim - 4 Really Big Miles!
You move so many more muscles with Leslie and with each DVD she comes out with, she improves upon the fitness style. This one includes boosted walking, which helps break weight loss plateau and has the firm band. I used to go walking in the park at a nice speed, but as I aged, I needed firming up around the waistline. Regular walking does not tone the waistline, you get great legs! Leslie Sansone is such much better than the treadmill!! My college age daughter uses Leslie with her roomates, they love Leslie! She like me has the two 4 miles (2007 & 2008) and the 3 mile weight loss (2008). - posted by Old Lady on 10/8/2008
Right On, Leslie!
I have almost all of Leslie's tapes and DVDs, even from her very early days! I don't do as much walking as I used to, since I really love kickboxing and cardio routines more now. But Leslie has a few gems and this is one. The miles go fast, the workout is great, and you will burn lots of calories. I always wear a heart rate monitor and I burned more on this workout than some of her other great workouts. I just have one request: Leslie, can you PLEASE find some new music. I think every loyal fan of yours is sick of that song "Everybody" - though you do have a sense of humor about it when it comes on. This is a Leslie DVD worth the investment! - posted by Robin K on 9/27/2008
I cannot believe it!
Wow! I tried this for the first time today and I am shocked! I always thought these workouts really couldn't do the job, but I am a changed person now! I can't wait to go for more! Very doable, gets your heart rate up and keeps it up! I felt great, energized and better than if I had done one of my dance type videos!! Great buy - posted by BB on 9/26/2008
Great Workout!
I love this workout. I normally run for 45 minute 5 times a week and this is just as challenging. - posted by Deb on 9/26/2008
Another Positive Review!!
~I REALLY like this DVD from Leslie! I have one of her older 3-mile WATP sets and found the pace too slow after a week of use. 4 Fast Miles is simply perfect. The pace is fast and just want I needed and I am not bored with the DVD. I get a great workout out and find it makes me sweat a lot. I am glad that I gave Leslie another try because I think she "hit this one out of the ballpark". Since I am returning to exercise after a long break, I've not worked up to the 4 miles yet but look forward to always exercising with the DVD and eventually I will work up to completing the entire 4 miles. This one is a winner! - posted by Kina on 9/20/2008

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.

Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
