Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home - The Big Burn- 2 Miles of Intervals Review

Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home - The Big Burn- 2 Miles of Intervals
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been doing the WATP dvd's for almost a year. This DVD makes it way right to the top of my list in rotation.
Let's list the PROS of this DVD:
1. Music only option (for those of us who are veterans to the WATP series and can follow the steps without instruction)
2. New music to follow
3. The BOOSTED/JOGGING intervals are EXCELLENT. They aren't just at the end of the DVD or miles. It starts about 8 minutes in and lasts for about 12 minutes. That's 12 minutes (thereabouts) of BOOSTED/JOGGING. It's alternated between kicks, knee lifts, and jogging up and back.
4. Fast paced, doesn't take 30 minutes to break a really good sweat. You should sweat through the entire DVD.
5. If you are looking for an excellent DVD to repeat (back to back play), this gives an excellent middle of the week or weekend buster to the same old workout.
6. Same great arm, leg, and (dare I say it) aerobic workout!
Now let's list the CONS:
1. Leslie has a couple of spots where she is off on her sequences. But hey, noones perfect and after watching this JUST ONCE, put it on music only--you can do it without her telling you what to do and it makes it simpler.
2. Could be longer. Yeah, yeah...I am glutton for punishment, but I would LOVE to have an interval training DVD that did the JOGGING/BOOSTED WALKING for more than 33 minutes. But in a pinch it's a GREAT workout.
That's it! I strongly recommend this particular DVD for anyone who is looking to add a little something extra to their standard workout. It's just extreme enough to make a difference in the overall performance of workouts and easy enough to do everyday if that's what you choose.
Well that's enough for me, time to use this DVD again!
Happy walking ;-)

Leslie Sansone: Walk at Home - 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk Review

I have been a Leslie Sansone fan for many years and own lots of her videos; the 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk, by far, my favorite! I would definitely say that this video (if you do the entire thing) is geared to intermediate/advanced exercisers. If you are a beginner, consider just doing a mile or two and working up towards the whole workout.
I loved the fact that the video breaks each mile down individually. The first and fifth mile have only Leslie leading. The second, third, and fourth mile include several other walkers and different music for each mile. I LOVE the music on this video more than any of the other videos. The miles are completed MUCH faster than Leslie's other videos. I also believe this 5 mile workout goes by very quickly!
EACH mile is 12-13 minutes and is roughly broken down as follows:
-Approx. 5 min of moderate walking
-Approx. 5 min of brisk/"power walking"
-2 min of "boosted walking"
The boosted walking is actually gentle jogging and "boosted" forms of kicks and knee lifts. Walkers have the option of joining Leslie with the boosted walking or just power walking. She insists that even if you are unable to do the higher impact version, lower impact is just fine.
There really is no warm-up (even in the first segment), but there is a cool down at the end of the video that lasts 6 minutes. If you do the entire video, the workout will last 68 minutes.
I would recommend this video especially to Leslie Sansone Veteran Walkers, but beginners can easily grow and advance as their fitness improves.
