Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Exercise Videos are finally making a really good use of technology. With this 1 CD you can create up to 10 different options from a pool of 5 walking segments and 5 toning segments in any sequence you want. Each of the five, 1 mile options is a 12 minute walk that is color coded so you can select them in any order you choose. You can do the purple mile, then yellow, then an ab tone up , then a green mile or something in reverse. Or you can choose from the segments of 2 - 5 mile workouts that Leslie has already pre set by day of the week. The funny thing is you actually have the option to do 10 miles in any sequence you choose. While that is not the intent of the program, it simply shows the flexibility of being able to mix and match workouts, doing a favorite walk twice or doing an all toning session. Of course there are some new moves that keep the variety changing, especially if you use Leslie's line,the "walk-outs" can get boring without updating the moves. There is also a fresh set of walkers, which also helps as some past videos often featured many of her wonderful staff members more often then one might like. If you like Leslie's program then this addition is completely new. Advanced users might be disappointed with the intensity level, which is not a high cardio sweat drip monster mile. That said you can do a little boosting with making sure your form is spot on, and picking up your legs a bit higher and using your arms when she may not be. Making sure you have a strong pump to the arms or raising them above the head. These miles don't use weights or walk boosters so you can certainly add a walkvest, or hand or leg weights. There are many workouts out there that are just too intense, where there goal is an extreme 60-90 day make over. Those are great, provided you are physically able to do many of the challenging exercises in those programs. Often people have to do the opposite which is pare down those high intensity workouts until their ready. Leslie's program is geared toward the beginner and starter intermediate who want to get started and tone up. 5 Stars but Room For Improvement: What would have been fantastic, is if Leslie had used one of the 5 Miles as one of her JOG Mile segments and one as her Bootcamp Mile segments Leslie Sansone: Walk Weight Loss Bootcamp Kit. This would have provided even more versatility to for a wider range of walkers.
