Leslie Sansone: 3 Mile Weight Loss Walk Reviews
Good pace, good warmup, good cool down. Great bell curve, with intensity in the middle. All in all a very good walking video.
I'm 63 and love to walk but with the Montana winters I am limited. This DVD is even better than walking so come spring, I'll do both. I have already lost inches in the first month, although I have yet to lose weight. But I feel better and my backaches are less every day. In fact, I feel the difference when I don't do at least 1 mile in the morning before work.
I'm an avid walker (4-8 miles per day) but live in the northeast so winter months can be a real challenge. My daughter stumbled upon Leslie's DVDs when we were searching for something to get us through the season. Since we work out at 5 a.m., some dance workouts are too complicated when you're half asleep & we don't want to be yelled at (think Billy Blanks) so Leslie's routines work like a charm. She's not overly perky & the basic moves are easy enough to do when you're bleary-eyed. You get a good workout, with the weights & the fast pace, so you will work up a sweat. We use the 5 day fit walk (includes: 1 mile, 2 mile high calorie burn, 30 min. walk, walk & kick and power mile), the 5 mile fat burning walk, & the 3 mile weight loss in all kinds of combinations so we're never bored. For someone who loves to walk outside (& hates walking on a treadmill), this is a great alternative. For someone just starting to get into ANY kind of exercise, it's perfect because you can tailor it to your physical abilities. I really like the weight routines as well...very easy to include into a regular workout schedule.
For some reason I really enjoy this dvd even though the workout really could be better.
The best thing about the "3 Mile Weight Loss Walk" is the fast-paced second mile led by Mary Kay. Unfortunately, her mile is sandwiched in-between Leslie's rather slow first and third miles.
FYI: There is no "boosted walking" (Leslie's term for jogging) on this walk.
High points:
* Mary Kay's mile. She ups the pace and brings fun and energy. Her cueing is excellent. She moves with more intensity than Leslie - inspiring me to do the same. I'm never quite ready for Leslie to take back the lead on this walk.
* The set. Although smaller, it is much lighter and brighter (i.e., cheerful and energizing) than the black curtained studio from the Walk Slim series.
(With that said, I LOVE "Walk Slim 4 Fast Miles" and highly recommend it in spite of the dark and heavy set.)
* I like the new walkers Vance and Suzette. Vance is a little like Eeyore and I find myself cheering him on. Smile, Vance, smile.
Low points:
* Leslie can't zip her lip and just let Mary Kay lead. I know she is being super generous to even allow one of her walkers to take the lead but, c'mon Leslie, if you're quiet for a minute I promise we won't forget that in-home walking is your baby!
* As stated above, slow first and third miles. Not much time to get the heart-rate up.
All in all, I'm glad I have this in my rotation. I'd say this workout is good for a beginner, a light day or as an add-on to another workout.
Waste of money. so slow. Its like walk at home for grannies. The people in the video were so out of shape, completely UN - motivating. If I could I would give this NO stars. Save your money and walk in place staring at a brick wall.
