I'm just curious why for you it feels generic?

Thank you for posting this Artist of Eyes

I am a new Leslie convert and am just starting to work out consistently for the new year.

I have Leslie's 5 really big miles and some workouts from youtube and I like the look, music and group cast of 5 really big miles best. I feel Leslie is keeping her workouts fresh and updated. Now being over 40 myself, I have come to think it's healthy to keep changing and shaking one's routine loose every few years. She'll probably attract a whole new younger generation of walkers as well as keep loyal & older fans- because just about anyone of any age can walk.

Her great shape and willingness to take things in a new direction inspires me physically as well as a personal role model.

I am eager to see how her workout's do for me. I still need to drop a few pounds & really hope this works because I have found that I like Leslie's modern workouts w/ new music, no overkill and no dread factor.

It's also on pre-order at Walmart

but I decided to pre-order on Amazon cause I know for sure I can cancel if I pick it up before the release.

She really just had maybe 3 "professional" fitness folks there that I could tell.

In this one, who knows?

Yes, the "professionals" appeared to be the ones in the harder segments, the ones with the band I believe. I just thought maybe someone was going for a more polished, typical exercise dvd. It does seem to make her less chatty and giggly. It just seems odd after so many years of filming for her to go this way and I figured there was a reason. I was just wondering what it is.

OH, ok, gotcha. I know what you mean. I had forgotten that she did the toning miles with just a couple of people. (I usually just use the aerobic miles.) It does seem like she used her PA buddies for SO many years (Joann, Linda, Mary Kay, etc.) Although she always has mixed it up with other people, they have usually been "plain folks" rather than pros. Interesting thought!

BTW, does anybody else think that one of Leslie's backgrounders in this looks like she might be from Stephanie Huckabee's WW Punch & BBT workouts?

Yes I believe you are right....I remember her from Punch. it was driving me nuts trying to remember what workout she was in.

I kind of like the look of the professionals....at least they should all be on the same lead, etc.

Either way, I think this looks great and I can't wait to get it!! I'll be doing all 5 miles a lot!!!

Ok, I think I need to eat my words and will get this one after all as well!

Even if the miles are not all different but just other toning segments, I still like the preview so far..
