 Rating:  - Great Workout!I've done several of Leslie Sansone's walking videos, and this one is my favorite so far! I'm in decent shape, but have some weight to lose, and the 4 miles makes me feel like I really have "worked out" by the end (the 1 and 2 mile videos just feel like a stroll around the back yard). The "boosted walking" (jogging) intervals are great - really brings up the heart rate. The 50 minute length is kind of long - makes it hard to squeeze a walk in during my son's naptime. But I love the music and the laid-back attitude. The steps are so easy, anyone can do it (except I do have trouble with the jogging leg swings). It's great for wintertime when I can't go for walks around the neighborhood with my 1-year-old son. I also love the "real" figures all the walkers have - no stick-insect women with hard bodies and perfect makeup..... They all look like normal gals, and they sweat! Do this video every day, and add the Walk Slim: Fast Firming video as well a couple times a week, and you'll really feel the results! Rating:  - Too much talking and not enough CuingI was given this video along with two others in this series as a gift. This product would be great if Leslie would stop talking so much and stop acting silly and do some cuing. A lot of the moves are started with no advance warning. Listening to Leslie talk is okay after one or two viewings but it gets very annoying by the third time around. I like that her steps are easy to follow and there is no complicated choreography but I am putting in the tape to exercise not to learn the participants in the videos life story. It seems to me that with each new video she is even more talkative than the last. It is very frustrating and because of this fact this may be last video of hers that I purchase. Also I have noted that even though these titles are "so called" fast walks they do not seem to take any less time than the normal walk series videos. Rating: - Who knew you could walk at home?I'm new to the whole walk at home concept and I first tried this DVD out by renting it -- I have to say I was hooked and just HAD to own it. :) I've been doing bellydancing and bellydance/aerobic mix videos for years and I'd say I'm an intermediate exerciser. This is a fun workout, the steps are very easy to learn. It's not difficult at all, there was never any time that I was breathing hard. Just when I started thinking it might be too easy I realized how much I was sweating and my heart rate was definitely up in what my doctor says is the ideal range for me to exercise at. At first I thought Leslie was a bit too chatty but the more I did the workout the more I came to like her. She seems genuinely friendly and I love the way she encourages without going into drill sergeant "FEEL THE BURNNNNN!" mode. Now I just find myself listening to her chatter on and let her while away the minutes for me. The only downside of this DVD is the way that it was produced. I didn't mind that the studio was a bit dark as you can still see what Leslie is doing, however the camera angles are odd at times, when they go into doing grapevines the camera is over here, over there, and then they go to only shooting people from mid-thigh up. At first I had trouble following until I figured out the footwork. There are several times when the camera is showing her from the waist up when it would really be more helpful to show her entire body. Also, for those who want to do the entire routine as low-impact there are times when you can't see either one of the low-impact people who you are supposed to be following. The fact that everybody was so close together in that big space didn't bother me much, nor did it bother me that there are a few bloopers in the video, it seems to have all been done on one take (I don't know if her other videos are like that). The bloopers made me feel like I was in a real class where everybody doesn't do everything perfect all of the time and I feel that as a beginner "walk at home" person it made me feel that it ok if I wasn't doing everything perfectly right away. However there are some people that may find this distracting. Rating: - Intense Leslie Workout - Love it!I recently purchased and received Leslie Sansone's Walk Slim - 4 Fast Miles and love it! I first watched the whole program and then exercised to it immediately afterwards. The next day I exercised to it again and used the "music only" option to see how I felt about doing the program without Leslie talking since so many people seem to find her chatting annoying. Yes, Leslie is chatty and sometimes silly in this DVD, but I believe this is what makes her so real and fun! Yes, the cameras show a few times during filming of this DVD and the James Brown doll was a little on the silly side, but the workout is GREAT! I bought this DVD for the workout and, believe me, I get a good one using this DVD! I am 52 years old and 50 pounds overweight (after losing 38 pounds recently doing walk aerobics). I feel this is a great workout for the intermediate walker (like me), but this also can be well-suited for the beginner and advanced walker, as well. Thanks, Leslie, for kicking it up a notch with this fun DVD! It's a keeper! Rating: - Leslie's best dvdI love the "boosted" walking/jogging portion of this video, it pushes you much harder than her others. I wish she had even more difficult ones with more moves as she is fun to listen to and easy to follow. |
