3 Fast Miles
I decided to write a review of sorts about my new exercise video I've been doing lately. I tried getting this through Netflix several times but with no luck. Of course, I think they thought they sent the right one but it wasn't. The first dvd in this set was a 2 mile walk from Leslie Sansone which I received but as I requested the 3 mile one, I got the same 2 mile. When I found this at Giant Eagle for $7.99 I grabbed it knowing all of these in Leslie's Walk Slim program are great. I wasn't disappointed in it. It doesn't have the intervals like the 4 fast miles but it keeps your heart rate up and gives you a good workout. She does some different moves in this, has alot of upper arm movements, and uses popular music throughout the dvd. On the downside, her cues are a little off at times, the camera isn't showing what it should at times, and as she hands off to friend Mary Kay to lead, we're at a loss because Mary Kay doesn't have a microphone on. We can figure it out of course, especially with Leslie talking throughout the segment. It was a very energetic workout that takes about 45 min. including warm-up and cool-down. I'll be able to see how it corresponds to Bob's (Biggest Loser) Power Walk dvd that I have coming through Netflix in a few days. According to the package, Bob does 16 min. walks which are not that fast compared to the Walk Slim program so that's why I didn't buy that one. I have a feeling he might use some weights along with the walk which I don't like at all. I don't mix my cardio walk with strength training except for squats or lunges which use my own body weight. I'll let you know how I make out with it.
