    Unless you have an HRM its hard to say what each person will burn. I lost alot of my weight using her videos. I think I have 10 in all. Theres one where she uses dumb bells and it is great. But I found they started to bore me a bit and became less challenging. I find she is very pleasant to listen to than most!

    Love Leslie Sansone 2 mile walk I have been doing that for almost 6 weeks now!! I really love this work out I can tell a big difference just in 6 weeks... So I do recommend her if your trying to get a good walk started and if your just now starting out go with her 1 mile walk it 4 easy steps, I have bad knees and it doesn't hurt me to do these easy steps!! You can find her on YouTube also!


    Good Luck :wink:

    She also has a Facebook page with free videos on it!

    I have discovered Lesley as well just recently and enjoy her workout - what did you log it as to get those amount of cals?? I just logged it as walking for 4mph for 45 mins which is 199 cals :)

    I asked this last week, I was doing the 5 mile with "boosts" (jogging) and a few people said it fell more under low impact aerobics.

    Love Leslie Sansone's videos, she is very cheery and keep me motivated. I knocked out her 2 mile express last night after I didn't get in a full workout earlier. I also do the free ones on Youtube.

    Also, you can modify the steps some to make them more challenging, if you want.

    thanks for your reply, I'll log it as low impact aerobics in future - I agree, I make it more challenging myself by jogging instead of marching :-D

    Leslie Sansone got me exercising regularly for the first time ever. Although Leslie will always be my favorite ….there are lots of other instructors out there, here’s a sampling:

    Ellen Barrett: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G7oxsTO8sc
    (This is from Weight Watchers .... Ellen also has 2 Prevention "Belly" walks)

    Chris Freytag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm0C8awjNIQ
    (This one is a circuit type workout … like Leslie Sansone’s Walk Strong …. Chris’s Prevention DVD Walk Yourself Fit is not circuit

    Debbie Rocker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIKmX2_YINU
    All of these have beautiful outdoor settings ... Debbie is a little "dry"

    Madeline Lewis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM00NAv4ekA
    Only ONE of these DVDs .... despite multiple names.

    George Foreman (Petra Kolber): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qD7RVbn3Nk
    There was a whole series here .... Petra is a lot of fun

    Jessica Smith (as mentioned by debraran1): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5SeMKN8Bus
    There is a DVD and several YouTube walks.

    Debra Mazda: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr2IL-MpY2Y&list=PLE0C54E048CFEC71B

    Kim Lyons from Biggest Loser has 2 walking DVDs from Jenny Craig …. Can’t find a video of this, but the outdoor setting is beautiful

    I just wanted to pop in to say THANK YOU!

    Just discovered Leslie and her videos on YouTube due to this post, have completed her 1 Mile Walk, and I believe this is the PERFECT way for me to get started on my exercise journey. I've been mentioning recently that the food logging and eating side has been coming much easier for me than the working out and exercising side... this is the perfect way to change that.

    Thanks for the links! =)

    Just had my first go at the 3 mile walk and loved it. Thank you again for the information. I definitely will make this a part of my exercise routine :-)

    Lots of ways to bump up Leslie. If I use light handweights (or weighted gloves) I tend to use my upper body more. More arm movements (especially over head) increase my heart rate a bit.

    I addition to jogging ....kicks & kickbacks can be "plyo" or hopping type moves. Leslie's 4 Mile Power Walk has lots of higher impact moves. http://www.collagevideo.com/workout-video/leslie-sansones-just-walk-4-mile-power-walk-6190

    A weighted vest would help to burn more calories (ankle weights ??? these seem a little scary).

    Also, a mini-trampoline can help someone who needs to stay low impact jog during the "boosts."

    I do her 51 minute 3 mile walk with a resistance band. I try to up my burn by doing squats instead of her basic side steps and I usually jog in place rather than walk. All in all--it's pretty decent if not just a tad boring. I log it as low-impact aerobics. Definitely worth doing.

    She mentioned at a fitness conference that the 3 mile 46 min walk /aerobic exercise burns about 389 calories.

    This depends on your personal stats. Going with low impact aerobics should give you a close estimate.

    I'm pretty new to the forums. What does it mean when you reply with "bump?"

    Low impact aerobics .... no choreography..... fast music keep you moving to the beat.

    Essentially you march in place for awhile, then switch to side steps for awhile, then switch to kicks ....... you keep changing up the moves to keep it interesting. Then you add some arms movements. For someone who loves choreography or loves to dance .... you likely won't like it. I've got 2 left feet & plenty of excuses not to walk outdoors .... this is a godsend for me.

    Lots of DVDs (Target, Wal-Mart, etc) ... here's a clip

    Basically, it's used if not many people have replied to the thread and it has fallen to page 2, 3+ in the forum. People will reply with merely "bump" to literally "bump it up" to the top of the list again in an effort to get more responses/discussion.
