And jump on my elliptical after that for another mile. I intend to keep doing both of the DVDs, but I think for the next foreseeable future I’ll strictly be using the 5K With A Twist. But, if you’re just beginning to exercise, or you have any type of injury or you just want to move your body, they’re great. I can imagine for anyone at the level that the DVDs wouldn’t be a challenge for them. They run half marathons and that sort of thing. Then again, these exercisers are runners and not walkers. I’ve read from a few advanced exercisers that her DVDs aren’t hard enough. It’s a very casual workout, but it does make you sweat. If you have to go slower than the beat of the music, that’s OK. If she springs a move on you (which she does often, like the tap outs during the second mile), just start when you’re ready.

If she’s kicking with her left foot, and you’re kicking with your right, it doesn’t matter. One of the main things I like about any of her DVDs is the fact you “can’t do it wrong”. She does suggest that you stay low impact if there’s a reason you can’t or shouldn’t jog in place. Gives the heart rate a boost for a better calorie burn. There’s also a two minute “boost” at the end of each mile where she goes into a “power walk” or a “gentle jog”. Side steps, front kicks, knee lifts, kick backs, and tap outs, and of course walking in place between each movement. I think all of her DVDs are like this, so I don’t know how many more I’ll get.

The exercise routine is the same as in the 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk, and she uses some of the same music. Normally in exercise videos they take breaks and let everyone cool down before they start filming again. You actually see that the instructors sweat too. So you can see that she’s actually working up a sweat herself. She’s by herself the entire time with no breaks in between the miles. You don’t have to do the whole thing all at once. You can break it up, and do just one mile at a time. It’s about 45 minutes long including the cool down. I love this DVD, and I’ll be using it pretty much every day I workout. It’s still a great DVD, and I recommend it to anyone. I prefer those miles since she devotes all her attention towards you, the viewer. On that same DVD, she is by herself for miles 1 and 5. She chats back and forth with them, which is fine, but it did get old. The problem with that DVD is during miles 2, 3, and 4 she has a group of people doing the workout with her. Not the exercise part, her commentary and conversations.

I enjoy that DVD, however it got to be a little redundant and old quick. The first one I got was her 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk. I have just two of Leslie Sansone’s Walk At Home DVDs, and I enjoy them both. I’ve done it several times, and I feel as though I give it a review. It’s been about a week now since I received Leslie Sansone’s 5K With A Twist DVD.
