This was the first Leslie dvd I tried because my mom loaned her copy to me. Since then, I have done a few others, and I think this one is still my favorite. I now want a copy of this one for myself, since I had to give my mom her copy back. I love the variety of people she involves, and while some might find her talking and mingling with the other walkers distracting, I find it helps me take my mind off the fact that I'm actually working out, and makes me feel like I'm just hanging out with Leslie and her friends. When I did this, I was still new and did not do all the miles at once, but only 1 at a time, so I'd really like to go back and do more than 1 now that I have built up more of an endurance to doing more miles. She changes up who is walking with her in each one, and I love using the stretchie band to add to it on some of the workouts. I think this is my favorite one I have tried so far!

Leslie Sansone: 5 Really Big Miles DVD is a great workout. I have several of Leslie Sansone DVD's and this one is the best so far. The work out is fast and keeps you moving to the beat. The moves are very simple and easy to follow. I love to walk, but my neighborhood does not have a safe place to walk so this DVD is a perfect way for me to walk away the pounds. It gives me a good workout. The best part is that I can choose how many miles to do.

Classic Leslie Sansone DVD

I really enjoyed this workout DVD. Leslie Sansone keeps you motivated, has easy moves to follow, and is really down to earth. The toning belt adds a nice touch to the workouts to get the upper body toned as well. The other nice part of this DVD is that each mile has its own section so that you can do 1 mile, 2, 3, 4, or all 5. One downfall and the reason for only 4 stars and not 5 is that the moves can be repetitive. This is my go to workout for days when I am not as energetic! Highly recommended if you enjoy walking aerobics.

I have several workout videos by Leslie. I have tried many other workouts but being over 40 and overweight, I keep coming back to Walk Away The Pounds videos as they are constructed in a fashion for anyone to follow. When I want a challenge, I simply add weights. I am soo very happy she has "shaked it up" with quite a nice variety of movements and BEST of all the MUSIC. If only trainers would realize what the MUSIC does to people who are following their steps. I find myself singing the songs and not realizing how many times I've kicked (with ankle weights on). I am doing the full 5 miles every other day, just because I am enjoying the MUSIC. I reeeally hope she puts out more videos with good music because we all know we need to switch things up and right now, there's not another video (that I know of) in her collection that is so inspiring. Love U....and thank you!! BTW...I have only been using this for about 3 weeks and yes, I can already see body changes :)

I have most of Leslie's DVD's from the past several years. Have to say this one is a new approach from her usual...For one thing, you have 5 serious miles, effective usage of the stretchy band, and just the right mix of moves, including a few "boosted minutes". I finished this DVD feeling like I had really done something productive with my time. Hope to see more like this one in the future, Leslie!!!
