DVD Reviews of Leslie Sansone's Walk Slim: 4 Fast Miles
DVD Review: I REALLY wanted to like this, but.....
Summary: 2 Stars
I've heard so many good things about Leslie Sansone's "walking" tapes so I finally decided to give this a try since I haven't been able to get outside due to the never-ending Ohio winter.
Let me start by saying that I regularly walk outside 4 miles per day and it takes me approximately 54 minutes. I wear a Polar heart monitor and on those walks, I average about 380 calories burned and stay within my target heart rate zone more than 50% of the time. During Leslie's supposed 4 mile "walk", I burned 268 calories and only spent 16% of the walk in my target heart rate zone. So I felt like for the time invested in this workout, the return was just not there. (In the DVD, Leslie and some of the other women are dripping with sweat -- the only thing I can figure is their studio must have been very warm because I'm a HUGE sweat-er and I was barely breaking a trickle.)
I know Leslie is hugely popular and my intent is not to offend anyone who loves doing her tapes. Having said that, I found this to be a real snoozer. First of all, she's not walking at all (duh!) but rather marching in place. Marching and walking are NOT the same; they do not use the same muscles at all -- walking requires one to stretch out the leg fully and really use those glute muscles and marching just doesn't give the same effect. The steps are repetitive and boring, just march, march, march with an occasional side step or leg kick. **yawn**... For anyone who is used to doing any kind of cardio workout tapes, I think you will find this incredibly boring.
While Leslie has an upbeat personality and a lot of energy, she nearly drove me crazy because she NEVER stops yakking! And much of the banter is just downright silly chatter. A lot of giggling, UN-funny jokes and hamming it up with her co-dancers. (True, there is an option to turn off her voice-over but personally I like to hear someone cueing me.) I can't see ANY man exercising to this DVD -- she's so loud and drones on and on that it would be like listening to your wife nag you for 50 minutes!
A much better alternative with a MUCH better calorie burn (and WAY more fun!) are the Prevention Fitness System dance tapes with Marie Forleo and Jennifer Galardi, and also Crunch Cardio Dance Blast featuring Marie Forleo. All are available right here on Amazon. While the footwork is a bit tricky at first, after repeating the tapes a few days in a row you will be a pro. And it is just so darn fun to do those Latin moves, hip-hop, and funky jazz. Also, Billy Blanks' Tae-Bo and Chalene Johnson's Turbo Jam would be much better cardio options.
Sorry Leslie... this DVD will be going right into the "donate" pile :(
