Certified instructor description: Lots of options — do it all for a truly challenging intermediate/advanced-level workout. Or do one of the pre-programmed shorter workouts for an easier Walk Aerobics session. Either way, you’ll get Leslie’s high-energy enthusiasm and super-easy-to-follow moves (basic walks, marches and kicks, never any fancy choreography or plyometric moves). Each segment features a distinct technique. Two sections use a very fast pace to generate intensity — “power walking” and “walking like a runner” (a 10-minute mile). The other three segments incorporate upper-body toning within the aerobics — each section with a different resistance device: her Walk & Tone Belt, light weights or a “stretchy band,” however one person uses no equipment at all. DVD has three easier options -- about 45 minutes each -- they use just one piece of equipment. To do all the segments, it requires 1 to 3 lb. weights, a 6-foot resistance band and a Walk & Tone Belt. ©2005. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Leslie Sansone's Advanced 5-Mile Walk

A good 5 mile work out
I like this workout for days when I need a little slower pace then some of the other 5 mile workouts but still want to put in the time. I think that the upper body workout using the belt, band, and hand weights could have been more intense and used more often then they were. Again another great workout by Leslie - posted by Tonja on 2/23/2012
Good workout!!
This is a good workout, she uses her walk and tone belt, but you can also just use a stretchy band and duplicate the same movements. This is a fast paced workout but has fewer variations on the movements used compared to her newer workouts. I am a HUGE Leslie Sansone fan and like having several of her DVD's to alternate through the week. - posted by Peggy on 2/9/2012
My Favorite Video
This is an excellent intermediate/advanced workout. It is Leslie's basic moves (so I do not have to learn new moves) at a faster pace. I actually emailed Leslie about 6 months ago asking her to make a DVD just like this. The 2 fast walk/jog components are a great aerobic workout by themselves, but adding a third component of hand weights bumps it up a notch. I have not yet tried the resistance bands or the belt but I am looking forwarding to trying those options as well. I really feel like I have gotten a full workout when I'm done. If I am pressed for time I do the 2 fast walk/jog segments (about 25 minutes total)and feel so good...and stay in my target range for the full time with no letdown when the segments change. I also like to run the program with 'music only'. I don't need the instruction after the first or second time I do the tape, and I don't enjoy the social banter. - posted by Joan on 1/5/2012
great
I loved this video. It gave me the exact cardio workout that I was looking for. - posted by Christine on 10/13/2011
Great Workout
I have been using Leslie Sansone's walking DVD's since April, 2011 and have lost 27 pounds. I went from absolutely no exercise (and I mean none for five years) to now working out 4x a week and doing the full DVD workouts. When I first started I could only do a mile, then I worked up to the next and the next...I own four of her waking DVD's and I LOVE them. Each DVD offers a lil bit of a different variation to the workout. I use her intermediate/advanced w/toning DVD's and I LOVE them. The music is key to keeping you going. Leslie uses upbeat tempo/fast paced music. Leslie walks you through each step and gives you time to transition from one workout to the next. There are occasionally a few miscues, but that's what makes it so real. I also love that there are several different sizes/shapes of women. I feel like I'm working out with women who resemble me! Only one complaint...as much as I love listening to Leslie, I wish they could lower her voice level and let the music shine through. I have one DVD and I'm not sure if it's this one or one of the other, but she's so loud that you can't hear the music, too well. The music/beat is what keeps my hopping and going...Otherwise...AWESOME workout and I can't wait for Leslie to come out with additional DVD's. She has varying levels of intensity DVD's, so choose the one that is right for you. HAPPY WORKOUT!!! - posted by Eve on 7/22/2011
Great video with variety
This is a really good Leslie video. I love the different styles in each set and it's nice to be able use just one workout as an add-on to a longer workout, or you can two 2 or 3 of these in one session. As always, Leslie is fun and motivating. Great addition to my growing collection of Leslie videos. - posted by Tipi on 6/11/2011
Five Mile Advanced Walk
I have been using the Leslie Sansone videos for about 10 months and feel that something is lost in a day that does not include a 45 minute to one hour workout. In the past couple of months I have been taken off my blood pressure medication and am maintaining excellent bp counts. I have lost 20 pounds which I partially attribute to the workouts but mainly being more careful about eating healthy foods which is a mindset after one has exercised quite strenuously for an hour! I really enjoy Leslie's friendly, encouraging talks. I think I prefer the one-on-one Leslie workouts as she seems to be talking directly to me and her enthusiasm works wonders. I recently purchased this video and the Walk It Off & Tone It Up video. Both of these are more challenging than some of the others and I think the use of the weights and stretchie bands make the workouts much more effective. Thanks, Leslie, and I hope you keep on making new videos as it is nice to have a change and also as one gets stronger we need to be challenged just a bit more. P.S. I don't care what the background is, indoors, outdoors, on a city street! What is important is the motivation that Leslie provides. - posted by Cathy on 6/6/2011
Great workouts
Hello Leslie. I love your 3-mile fast work out. It does give me more energy . I try to do it 3-4 times a week. I also have 2 other tapes. But I am going to look for your 5-mile advanced workout. It looks interesting. keep it up. - posted by Grace on 4/14/2011
Not as enjoyable as 4 really big miles
This 5 mile walk is really 5 separate miles chunked together - 2 fast miles interspersed with 3 miles using boosters. The workout is enjoyable enough and a challenge to do all 5 miles. I found however that there was a bit more repetition in movements than I would have liked, and I would have preferred it if Leslie was doing the whole 5 miles miles with me in "one sitting". I prefer her 4 Really Big Miles DVD - both in terms of the variety you get in the workout, as well as sound/picture quality. (5 Mile Work is a little off in the sound/picture quality.) Nevertheless, this is still a workout I would go back to over and over again, so I'll still give it 4 stars. - posted by Jess on 2/16/2011
Good Aerobic Workout
I am 55, exercise daily, and consider myself fairly fit but I need to lose about 10 lbs. I do the entire 5 mile walk and feel great afterward. But the repetition can become boring so I won't do it more than once a week. Leslie is very chatty and I have memorized most of the dialog. But there is a no-talking option I may try. I have a touch of arthritis/bursitis and this workout does not cause any pain. I thought Leslie would work a little more with the weights and bands but only does a few exercises with each. I would consider this DVD Intermediate only not Intermediate/Advanced - posted by Barbara on 1/27/2011

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.

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

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
