As an aside here, if you track your Leslie workouts using a fitness tracker or pedometer, her promise of a 15-minute mile is not accurate, and the same goes for other instructors who do ~15-minute miles, like Jessica Smith. Part of the problem is that trackers don't always accurately record steps that are kicked or that use knee raises and stuff, but also part of it is just that the estimates are not fully accurate. They are CLOSE, but even when I've followed her steps precisely, I never get a full mile in one of Leslie's miles. This is why as my fitness has improved, I've basically ignored any of her videos that are under three miles, because I know that two miles of Leslie is not two "real" miles.

I don't worry about how many 'miles' I walk with Leslie, I go strictly by minutes. If I walk outside I like to know how many miles I walk so I can see if my time is improving but that wouldn't work with indoor walks.
Today I did miles 1 & 2 of her Walk if Off and Tone it Up which uses the Stretchie for some of it. I got a great workout in about 30 minutes - I can tell because it got my HR up and kept it there, more than if I walked 30 minutes outside. Outside I don't like walking really fast so I get a better cardio workout with Leslie (but I don't enjoy it as much). It takes me about 23 minutes to walk 1 mile outside. |
