Certified instructor description: Five easy-to-follow indoor “walks.” For maximum motivation and variety, Leslie uses a different technique in each program. Day One is the easiest; it’s a straight-forward mix of Leslie’s four basic steps — kicks, marches, knee lifts and step-touches. The next three workouts incorporate light toning that targets a specific body area: abs, upper body and lower body (e.g. squats during a march to help shape your buttocks). The last series is intense — a pull-out-all-the-stops “speed walking” sequence. This is a one-on-one-with-Leslie workout — her encouraging commentary is totally focused on you (not a big class). Note: All five workouts use the same warm-up and cooldown. DVD also has a “play all” function that provides a challenging, 85-minute, 5-mile workout. ©2008. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Leslie Sansone's 5-Day Slim Down
A wonderful morning wakeup
I really like the variety in this dvd. it is fun and informative and easy to do, and some of the moves feel like dance steps which makes it exciting. i use walking weights to enhance my workout and with the moves leslie does the weights just work so well. i would recommend this dvd to everyone - posted by Jennifer on 5/10/2012

good way to walk
I liked this walking video due to the variety of walks available. Similar to all of Leslie's walks but with enough differences to keep them fresh. - posted by Amy on 5/5/2012

I LOVE IT!!
I have several other Leslie Sansone walks, but this one concentrates on a specific area with each mile. I end up sweaty and winded and I LOVE THAT. This is an awesome workout. You can string along as many miles as you want at one time, or just do one. But I can never do just one. She makes me want to keep going and going. Thank you Leslie for this great addition to my walking collection. - posted by Pam on 3/22/2012

Leslie Sansone 5 Day Slim Down
I liked the video overall. I liked not having all the banter with the other members of the cast (in some of the other videos Sansone has presented, the banter has been annoying). I liked the inclusion of the squats and lunges. As petty as it may sound, I was preturbed that the windows in the background scenes suddenly changed from traffic to a wierd alley or parking lot with an out building. I guess when you have done the dvd enough times- you notice very minor things. I have 5 or 6 of Leslie's dvd's and this one is among my favorites. - posted by Carol on 3/8/2012

5 miles.. Do 1 or do them all, it's up to you
This has quickly become one of my favorite DVD's from Leslie. You can do 1 mile up to 5 with an emphasis on different areas. Before I did this one for the 1st time, I mistakenly thought I wouldn't get a good workout because there are no weights, stretchies or cords used. I was wrong! I do 2-3 miles mixing them up..even repeating the same mile occasionally. I'm a fan of Leslie alone and with a group... Keeps me interested. Try it! - posted by Melanie on 3/3/2012

Great exercise workout
I like this workout because I can actually do all the steps in the workout. - posted by Sandee on 3/1/2012

Good video
Leslie, works you out! My wife and I walk 30 miles week, but it's fl. and flat Leslie's video gives us a 5 mile cardio workout in little more than an hour. Good for time saving and rainy or extra hot days. Definitely not for beginners. - posted by P on 2/23/2012

Leslie is terrific!
I now have several of her dvd's and I just love them! Lesie's workouts can be done mile by mile which is a great option. The steps are easy to do and pretty much the same from dvd to dvd. She has a great personality and in no time I've completed the entire 5 miles. Thank you Leslie!!! I can't wait for a new dvd to come out soon! - posted by Jennifer on 2/21/2012

My New Favorite DVD
This is my favorite exercise dvd! I am just shy of 69 years old and find that Leslie's walking workouts are perfect for me. She is fun to "be with", easy to follow, and inspires me to keep going. I try to get in 4-5 days a week walking with Leslie, so I like that I can mix it up on this one. Walking with Leslie is like walking with a friend. - posted by Sandi on 2/17/2012

Easy and effective workout.
Leslie Sansone is a great instructor who motivates you to reach your goals. The 5 Day Slim Down workout is easy and effective. The miles go by very quick and I am determined to complete the entire 5 miles. Thanks - posted by Raheela on 2/10/2012

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact

Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography

Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Floor aerobics

Definition: Fast-paced standing movements like marching, walking, dancing and jumping. Requires no equipment.

Benefits: Burns calories. Strengthens your heart. Increases stamina.
