Certified instructor description: 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 Sansone's Fast & Firm: 4 Really Big Miles

Invigorating workout, low impact and still highly aerobic
I love the video. It allows me to do 1, 2, 3, or 4 miles as I desire. There is a wonderful cool down section that stretches muscles used in the workout. The section with firm band is equally helpful--again to use as much or as little as desired. I would recommend this video to anyone who wants a fun, exciting exercise plan. Everyone is reminded to do only those things that are comfortable. I have always done water aerobics so this is a new way to exercise. - posted by Nikki on 1/27/2012
Great Video!
I love Leslie's new line of DVDs...she is such a great motivator to exercise and the people doing the video with her are also inspirational. I love to walk and these are what I use in the winter when I can't walk outside. - posted by Leslie on 1/26/2012
Great "Leslie" DVD
This is a Great workout - cardio & strength too! I've used in a lot already and can already tell the positive difference. This may not be a newer DVD, but it does give me a super workout and another big plus for me is that "regular" walkers are in it! - posted by Shirley on 1/20/2012

Great workout! Love the boosted walking
I am a veteran walker and this video really is a good solid workout! Has several "boosted walks". Adds to the workout nicely! - posted by Krista on 11/11/2011
This video will make you sweat
Great video. I have worked out with this video three times since I got it. A good workout - fast paced. Entertaining. I would recommend this video to others. - posted by Cheryl on 11/10/2011
Fun!
This workout is really fun. I like the moves, the set, the exercisers and of course Leslie. It is low impact and I like the fact that Leslie doesn't "pressure" you and scream at you to do a particular move ("you don't have to do the arms if you don't want to!"). She encourages you to listen to your body which is important. I like the fact that I can do 1 mile or all 4. I always feel good after a Leslie workout! - posted by C.G. on 10/31/2011
Great Workout
Leslie Sansone is great, but as always I am never disappointed when I purchase a "staff favorite" - posted by Fran on 10/27/2011
Liked it
I have done a lot of Leslie Sansone dvds. This one seemed to go a bit faster which is exactly what I like. The group she had working out with her was new to me so I had some new faces to watch. I added weighted balls on my own to make the workout harder but I only did 3 miles due to time issues. I felt I got a good workout in. The music in this dvd was thankfully loud enough so that Leslie wasn't talking over it. I still think Leslie should do a little less talking and this dvd is no exception. Leslie lets you know when you meet the mile mark for each mile. I'd prefer a countdown on the screen. - posted by cap on 10/20/2011
Great Energy - Nice pace!
One of my favorite DVD of Leslie's. The pace is fast - good energy throughout. Keeps my heart rate up and keeps me energized. I also like 4 Fast Miles by Leslie which is a bit more challenging for me. - posted by Karen on 10/20/2011

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.

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.
