DVD Reviews of Leslie Sansone: 5 Day Slim Down - A Mile Each MorningDVD Review: Pure and Simple Summary: 5 StarsIn "Walk at Home: 5 Day Slim" Leslie Sansone bases her routines on just a few core moves. You will recognize kicks, knee raises, walking in place, walking back and forth, side steps, double side steps and kick backs. These form the foundation for all the workouts.
There are five workouts to choose from and there is also a warm up and a cooldown. You can choose to do all five. I've been working out to Leslie Sansone's workouts for years so I really liked being able to do five miles.
What I liked most about these workouts was how Leslie added in some new moves that really seem to tighten and tone the whole body. In the first 14-minute mile there is no special equipment - it is just a pure and simple walk. The second workout is for your arms. The third workout strengthens the legs with squats and lunges. I could really feel the burn. The fourth workout is designed for the core and abs. Then the fifth workout is a speedwalking workout that incorporates skating and jogging.
Throughout the workout I was impressed with the seriousness of Leslie's attitude. She doesn't joke around, talk to anyone but the viewer and generally just brings a good dose of positive energy to your day. Normally she works out with a group but in all these workouts she is totally alone. So in the end it feels more like you have a personal trainer working you out.
Some of the extras on this DVD include a segment where Leslie teaches you to cook breakfast. She doesn't really measure anything so you are left to figure that out on your own. She teaches simple recipes like oatmeal, scrambled eggs, French toast and a smoothie. If you love cooking you will be able to follow along quite easily. She shows you how to add more protein to your breakfasts.

DVD Review: Awesome Excercise DVD! Summary: 5 StarsI love that this DVD has 5 separate 1-mile workouts that can be done alone or in any combination. Leslie makes it easy to exercise!
DVD Review: Not your average boring workout Summary: 4 StarsFirst I must say, I love Leslie Sansone and her workouts. This is the second DVD I've purchased of her "walk at home system." Her workouts are great, and you can move to more difficult workouts as you get stronger. This workout is really nice because you can choose how many miles you want to do and you can switch it around. You can do 1 mile if you want a quick workout or piece the mile workouts together to do 1,2,3,4 or even 5-mile workouts. What I like most about this DVD is that you have the option to create your own workout and you don't get bored. Every day can be different. One draw back is that you must switch back to the DVD menu every time you want to start another mile, unles you do the 5 miles. The cool down is quite long, so if you are only doing a 1-mile workout (which range from 12 to 14 minutes) the cool down seem a bit over done, since it is about 10 minutes long. I think the cool down was designed with the notion that you would do all 5 miles in one work out (which I have yet to do). Another small detail is that sometimes the music stops during the mile and you just have to keep "walking" until you pick up the beat of the next song. Just a minor annoyance really. As for Leslie, her system is the only system I seem to be able to stick with. I enjoy her personality and the "walk at home system." I moved from 1 mile to 3 miles in a very short time.
DVD Review: good workout Summary: 4 Starsa little harder than her earlier walk dvd's but really concentrates on problem areas. Also love the breakfast ideas at the end.
DVD Review: I'll stick To My Other Walk At Homes... Summary: 2 StarsI'm A Huge Fan Of The Walk At Home Workouts, I Have About 10 Or So. While I Don't Expect Perfection I Find This Workout Disappointing & Frustrating Because It Has To Be The Worst One Out Of All Of Them Because Of The Fact That Leslie Will Switch To Doing A Different Move Without Enough Warning Or Does The Complete Opposite & Says She's Going To Start A Move So You Go To Do It & She's Like "Not Yet! Keep Going!" Also There Is A Spot In The 4th Mile Where She Says She's Going To Do Single Side Steps Then Go To Doubles & Instead She Does Doubles & Goes To Single. Also There Are Quite A Few Spots That It Just Seems Like The Pace Is Kind Of Off Or Something & It Feels Like It's Hard To Keep In Step. Now Mind You I Have Only Done The Warm Up, Miles 1, 2, 4, 5 & The Cool Down So I Can't Speak For Mile 3 & There Are Alot Of People Out There According To These Reviews That Seem To Like This Workout So I Know I Am A Minority. I've Tried This DVD About 4 Times & Every Time I Get Frustrated. As I Stated Earlier I'm A Huge Fan Of Leslie & Her Workouts, I Do One Every Night But This One Isn't A Keeper For Me I'll Take The 5 Mile Fat Burning One Instead That One Is Way Better.
