Leslie Sansone - The big burn intervals

Kate_UK

Has anyone done this dvd? I have Leslies 5 mile fat burning walk and 3 mile walk away the lbs for abs and love them both. But I wondered if it was worth getting this one as its only 2 miles long, or do the bosted intervals rack up lots more calories than her other dvds? I burn about 900 cals doing the 5 mile and about 5-600 doing the 3 mile, is this going to be significantly less of a burn?

I am doing the 5 Mile fat burning and love it, I bought the 4 mile slim down and will try it next, but I think just for the variety it is worth to have more of her, because it is fun to walk with her and when you think 2 miles are not enough at the end, just throw in another mile or 2.

I have heard that interval training is one of the best ways to get high calorie burn in less time. i don't know the science behind it, but that is the rumor. so i would think that even though it's a shorter workout, the intervals will burn as many calories as a long workout of just walking.
and if its a matter of not wanting to buy yet another dvd...do what i do: i have 4 fast miles where she adds a few boosts in the middle 2 miles, but i wanted a higher intensity workout, so i jogged instead of marching and just 'boosted' the whole workout myself...it was pretty intense!

Yes, you do the dvd's at home in front of the tv, they consist of walking on the spot, taking a few paces up and back, sides steps etc just basic steps to mix it it up a bit. They are fun, and burn lots of calories, but arn't so intense that its going to kill you

Thanks thats a great idea, the 5 mile fat burning has a 2 min boost at the end of each mile, so I could add my own extra boosts at each halfway point too, and gradually increase the length of them.

What put me off ordering it straight of is that its £16.99 and the workout is only 30mins. I think if it was a 4 mile program I wouldn't have hesitated but 2 miles didn't seem enough. (Hark at me, yu'd swear I was fit!)

I think what I'll do is add my own boosts at each half mile during the 5 mile fat burning walk and see how that goes as suggested by the poster above.
