Certified instructor description: An in-home walking workout that features two-minute, higher-intensity “power bursts.” The bursts include moves like jogging, kicking and skipping — higher-impact versions of the basic steps you already know. The bursts are designed to maximize fat burning effectiveness while helping to simulate the feel of an actual 5K outdoor race (about 3.1 miles). Leslie also boosts the intensity of her usual low-impact walking steps by using faster music and incorporating lots of arm motions. Throughout the workout, you’ll be motivated by Leslie’s chatty commentary and an on-screen countdown timer. ©2009. DVD has: Chapter menus, Music only option.

Leslie Sansone's 5K with a Twist

LESLIE MAKES WALKING CHALLENGING
I have never been a fan of just walking, but like a challenge with some aerobics. I love this workout! It is challenging, yet simple steps and Leslie by herself keeps you motivated. - posted by TRACEY on 5/2/2012
Love this workout
This is my first of Leslie's DVD's and I have already ordered 2 more. Her approach is so easy to follow. My metabolism is very low so losing weight is next to impossible but I feel really good after doing the workout. I have been a walker for years so it was very easy to keep up from Day 1 with this but I would think even a beginner would not have any problems since she always gives the option to do "straight walking" instead of some of the alternate moves. - posted by Debbie on 3/22/2012
Love it!
I have a lot of Leslie Sansone videos. I really like this one in particular because I would like to eventually do a 5K, so I feel that it helps me toward that goal. I think the pace is a little faster than on some of her other videos, even though the walk is a shorter mileage (3.1 mi). I do break a sweat during this dvd, and that's my ultimate aim. - posted by Lisa on 3/16/2012
Quite a workout!
I really enjoy my new DVD 5k with a Twist. It is quite a workout but easy to follow. Thanks Leslie. - posted by Cindy on 3/15/2012
Love this for a quick work out
This is a very good workout quick and up tempo. Good for a quick workout or if I want something a little longer I can add mile 2 and 4 (upper and lower band workout) from the 5 Really Big Miles DVD for a great 5 miles. - posted by Tonja on 2/23/2012
Thanks for good clean workout videos by Leslie Sansone!!!
I really enjoy this workout video, I have several of Leslie's workout videos and I enjoy them all, I switch up, so that if I need a challenge or I need something a little slower it's all there. Thank You, God Bless You! - posted by Darlene on 2/4/2012
Love it!!
I feel this video uses all the muscle groups and is a great workout. - posted by Kelly on 2/2/2012
Great video
I've been doing Leslie's videos for a number of years now. She has helped me lose over 30 pounds. I like this one because it's three miles long and has the jogging intervals which I love. It's also just Leslie and you which is a nice change. Thanks Leslie! - posted by Kathleen on 1/21/2012
Leslie Sansone 5K with a twist
I love Leslie's workout videos!! They're easy to follow and very effective. At 62 years of age, they're an excellent way to help me keep in shape. And the variety offered in collage videos is great!! As a video becomes too easy, there are so many more to choose from. These videos will keep me forever healthy, strong, and young in body, mind, and spirit!!! - posted by Linda on 11/26/2011
The Best Yet
I have over 20 of Leslie's walk videos and this is my favorite. It has basic walking steps, nothing fancy and I do the boosted walking by just walking faster and kicking higher/faster. It has a wall clock (which I think makes the time go faster!) and although I really like Leslie's lively chatter, I often choose the music only option, as I have played this tape so often that I basically know what she is talking about although she is muted. She really is tops in the market when it comes to aerobic walking tapes. - posted by Jo Anne on 11/10/2011

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
sample time graph
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.
sample time graph
Chapter menus
X
You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).
Music only option
X
This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).
Level
X
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
X
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
X
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
X
Definition: Fast-paced standing movements like marching, walking, dancing and jumping. Requires no equipment.
