Old school Leslie at her best
This is my go-to workout. It's running time is around 48 minutes, and it's Leslie at my favorite - bubbly, genuine, and human, before her spontaneity and sincere talk got stripped away. I have been walking with Leslie for years. I prefer this workout above all the others I've done because it's the perfect level of intensity for me; it's work the time I put into it. I get frustrated by the other DVDs that have run time close to this one (or even longer!) that are fewer miles. I have 3 young kids and a full time job, if I'm going to invest almost an hour a day into a workout, I'd rather get the most bang for my buck. Some people get annoyed with Leslie's chatter, but I love it. When I just started out with this DVD, it helped keep me motivated. Now, my husband and I joke almost the whole time I'm doing this DVD because we can recite it word for word, which I actually like because it helps me know exactly where I am in the workout. I also prefer this because it's the original way that Leslie did her multi-mile workouts, straight through. Some of her newer DVDs that are mix and match bug me because each new mile starts off slowly in almost warm-up mode, and I don't like letting my heart rate fall that much every time a new mile comes.Many others have given a breakdown of what this workout includes, so I'll just close with saying that the old school Leslie is my favorite and I'll be forever devoted to her. Give me 90s Leslie any day; you can keep your modern Leslie.

Go for the 2 DVD set!
Leslie will make you sweat in this one. Lots of "boosted walking" 3 minute intervals (yes, that's jogging). Leslie knows how to give a good workout that is easy on the joints and makes you sweat. I walked on my treadmill for years (and loved it), but I can no longer do that with my toddler running around since it's not safe. I discovered Leslie and haven't looked back. I feel that her workouts maximize my time and I actually get more out of these programs than walking on my treadmill. I can get my walking/workout in with my toddler running around. I have 3 other DVDs of Leslie's and they are all good, but when I want to push the limit and get the most out of my workout, I choose this one. I purchased the 2 DVD set and the second DVD has a 15 minute jogging mile, which is also excellent. If you're going to purchase this, I highly recommend the 2 DVD set..it's worth a few extra dollars.

Good workout, poor production quality
I like Leslie Sansone's DVDs because they are great for uncoordinated people like me. Not a lot of dance type moves and she always says it doesn't matter if she goes right and you go left, but it's still really effective, you get a good workout without feeling stupid like some DVDs can do. It is an older one, and it definitely shows, the production quality isn't nearly as good as the newer ones, and for me there's a little too much chatter and different people doing different things. But it wasn't so bad I couldn't get through it and it is a good workout.

Great workout!
I am just now progressed to doing four mile workouts (started with only one!) and I really enjoy this particular DVD. It moves at a strong pace, has great cuing between moves, and pretty much flies by since it's so fun! I will definitely keep this in very regular rotation, even when I progress to doing Leslie's five-milers some days. Four miles is the perfect regular time commitment that is very doable and gives you a wonderful workout.

Wow!
I own about 17 or 18 of Leslie's Walk DVDs & this is officially my new favorite 4 mile workout! It was super fast paced, yet simple to follow. I seriously wish I had ordered this sooner. It's also a very time efficient workout at 50 minutes; most of her other 4 mile walks are an hour long (10 minutes makes a huge difference when you're a working mom). Very energetic and fun. The intervals were fantastic, really gets your heart rate up! And I love love love doing leg swings! By the end of the workout, I was sweaty, but not exhausted. I will definitely use this one often!And for those of you who are skeptical about these walk DVDs; these are not "sissy" workouts. I'm only in my late twenties & I'm in pretty decent shape. I work out at least 6 times a week, mostly using Leslie's walk DVDs. I fell in love with Leslie a little over year ago after picking up my first walk DVD at a local target. Why do I love leslie so much? Her workouts are effective, safe, gentle, easy to modify & simple (I'm really uncoordinated).

Great product and delivery!
A really good DVD. I have several of Leslie Sansone's, but wanted something new. I was delighted with this. It has 'interval' walking, which includes intervals of boosted walking to speed up energy levels!! I love it. Also, even though it had to come from America, it was not too long in arriving.

Good but could be better....
I really enjoy the faster pace of this video.😊The music is ok. No older walkers in group (a mistake imo).Leslie does not mention the miles, again, a mistake. Each mile shows up at bottom of screen, but easy to miss. Having each mile announced is SO motivating.Walkers look very cramped together, why is hard to understand, they are in a huge looking studio.Will be one I use on a regular basis. Too bad it's not everything I wanted but ok.Helpful votes are always appreciated!😊Geraldine Helen Hartman, author of,Laughing at the Grim Reaper! Gems of Wisdom for Aging Well❤

I love Leslie Sansone a lot. I have been using this walk slim 4 fast mile dvd of her for many years. I had lost a lot of weight using this dvd and kept me fit till today. Thanks to God. I have purchased this dvd of her currently because my old dvd got old and I wanted to have a back of this dvd. Leslie Sansone is God sent a gift from God. The exercise is gentle and it’s good for people who has joints problems. love Leslie Sansone and her dvd God bless her ameen.
