I can't seem to find anywhere the average calories burned doing the Leslie Sansone Start Walking videos. When I add it here I do 15 or 30 min walking at 3.5mph. I know everyone is different but am I counting the calories burned correctly?

    I've been using Leslie since I've started, & I also record it as brisk walking.
    But it also depends on which program by her I'm using.
    For example, if I'm just using the 15-minute walk; I record it as a brisk walk because it's not as intense as...
    say, her Cardio Slimdown...which I record as low-impact aerobics because you do so much. :)

    Oh I just wear my pedometer on my iTouch and it counts my calories for me! I have the 3 mile dvd and it generally gives me between 247 and 267 depending on how hard I'm actually working lol

    I use her 3 mile walk and log it as 45 min. of walking 4 mph. I read that walking at a brisk pace burns about 100 cal. per mile.

    Depending on the video I tend to log it as walking and gauge it by the movements I'm doing. Most of the time 3.0-4mph.

    you can use the 3.0 or 3.5 mph, walking....or low impact aerobics....I did 3 miles with Leslie today, and I burned 400+..

    I just read a blog written by Leslie about calories burned doing her workouts. The ballpark figure that she threw out (at least for the 4 Fast Miles DVD) was:

    At least 100 calories for every mile for the non-boosted version (low impact)

    At least 125-150 calories per mile for the boosted version (high impact)

    I've been looking for something to definitively tell me that info for a couple of weeks! Yea!

    I added it as my own exercise for my diary so, when I do that, I can just access that particular entry.
    Hope this helps!!

    I have the 1, 2 and 3 mile walk DVD's at home. The 2 mile walk is about 30 min, averaging 4 mi/hr. I would log 30 min @ 4 mph. If there is another video that is faster paced, I don't know what the mileage and timeframe is.

    For the 3 Mile DVD I use aerobics- low impact and for the 4 Fast Miles DVD I record it as high impact aerobics. I think the best results would be if you use a HR monitor like Polar (They are pretty pricey I don't have one myself and often wish I did for times when calorie burn isn't easily determined).
