Customer Reviews of Leslie Sansone - Miracle Mile: Walk 1 Mile

Fast and effective!
This is one of my favorite Leslie Sansone walking tapes. Its a brisk 15 minute mile with upbeat music. Leslie is her usual encouraging self. She leads a group of exercisers with simple steps that are varied enough to prevent boredom but low impact and easy to do. I pop in the tape for a quick walk after meals. It burns calories yet doesn't take a lot of time. At the end of the tape she leads you in a few minutes of toning exercises. A super video!

A Good Exercise Video
I like several of Leslie Sansone's walking workout videos. From best to worst, here's how I rank the 5 I own:

2-MILE WALK -- 5 STARS. Her best video. Good pace, lots of variety. Not too hard for a beginner. It has a mileage gauge, which helps keep me going. (1996)

MIRACLE MILE -- 4½ STARS. A 1-mile walking workout in 15 minutes, plus a cool down and stretches. Great for those days when I haven't much time but I want to get some quick exercise in. Also good on days of cramps, if tired, etc. (1996)

WEIGHT LOSS WALK -- 3½ STARS. Has 3 20-minute segments of 1 mile, 1.5 miles, and 1.5 miles. Excellent for variety. Handy for those days when I want a different distance. Segments can be done alone or combined for a wide variety of distances -- up to 4 miles. A mix of familiar and different movements. Some of the exercises are a little goofy but it's good variety. Don't like the silent gaps between songs. (1993)

Not recommended:
PLUS 40 WORKOUT -- 2 STARS. A 2-mile workout, not nearly as good as "2-MileWalk". Seems somewhat amateurish. Has silent gaps between songs. (1989)

WALK & FIRM -- 2 STARS. Leslie with hand weights doing safe and simple exercises. Unfortunately, I really can't get into it, and I've never finished the video. (1998)

Leslie's videos are hard enough but not too hard for people just getting back into exercise. When I use them daily (especially mornings) I find I'm much less hungry all day. I've lost 9 pounds in 3 weeks. I try to exercise daily but usually do so 4-6 times a week. I feel better, sleep better, and have better posture.

Has Stick-with-it-ness
The Miracle Mile is the first exercise video I have ever been able to stick with and actually look forward to doing. Well, kind of. I am very overweight and HATE exercise as a general rule, but I was able to do this one from the first time I tried- a very motivating factor. (I couldn't quite the pace the first two or three times,but I did get to the end and then quickly got better.)I think that if I had started with anything longer, timewise, I wouldn't be doing it 4 times a week, because I just don't have time. But it is so short, it's over before you know it, so you can slip it in between errands, just before you jump in the shower, or while dinner is on the stove. I absolutely recomend this to any obese person who doesn't feel graceful or peppy or who is scared of having to stop in the first five minutes. That was me. The moves are simple, and very very soon you will be able to complete the mile. AFter two months with the Miracle Mile, I am now bying the 2 Mile Walk (and wondering why there isn't a 1.5 mile video???)

Of course, listening to the same patter over and over again is nauseating, but after you do it 10 times, turn down the sound so you can just barely here the thumping beat, and put on talk radio!
