Joni, Leslie's idea of "HIIT" really bugs me, especially when she says that she needs to lower the HR before the HIIT interval!

I found Radio Remixes really annoying, mainly b/c of the HIIT thing noted about and b/c I didn't really like the music (I recognized it as recent hits, just not my thing). Dance to the Hits I like a lot though! Again, the music is a big factor. The song used for the "HIIT" intervals--"We Got the Beat" by the Go-Gos--is right in my 80s wheelhouse, and Mile 2, which mostly features "U Can't Touch This" by Hammer (I think he dropped the MC

), is a lot of fun. I wrote reviews of both.

I have and like Radio Remix but I know some of the songs

I plan on getting Party Songs soon. I like Leslie but the music in her other DVDs was so repetitive

I like Remix and the clip of Party looks really good.

I like them both pretty much equally, and I turn the HIIT intervals into true(r) HIIT by ignoring Leslie's exercises and just running in place (or jumping jacks or whatever) as fast and as hard as I can. (I do it on a bouncy jogging platform to help reduce impact.)

I have both: Walk to the Hits: Radio Remixes and Walk to the Hits: Party Songs. Both are good, but I prefer Radio Remixes. I like the music better, there's less jumping up and down, and I think the moves are better. (Less kicks, more knee lifts, and more tap outs.)

Are you talking about Walk to the Hits: Radio Remixes or Walk to the Hits: Party Songs? I'm guessing Party Songs? That's the one with the older songs, like "Dancing on the Ceiling" and "U Can't Touch This."

Thanks, everyone. Still can't make my mind up! I liked the clip of Party Hits better and the music was good, but Radio Hits did have "I like to move it move it" in the clip, which I love.

Maybe I'll have to get both!

Reviving this thread!

I have to eat my own words from a few months ago, when I stated I might be 'done' with Leslie's walks!

I truly thought back then, after having walked with Leslie for almost 3 years straight, I've lost interest and all her new videos with the new crew didn't appeal to me... [While I'll say I'm still a fan of her 'Bat Cave' settings and other gang, I can see how the younger crowd can possibly appeal the newer generation more and I certainly enjoy her few newer movements as well as new songs thrown in the mix!]

Fast forward to a few days ago when I was surfing Youtube and came across a mile from her Radio mix and I was instantly hooked! (Love the "I like to move it, move it" song! It reminds me of the 'Madagascar' movie with the lemur dancing

) I'm extremely happy that I was able to trade with another VFer for it and caved and ordered the Party songs one as well over the weekend. Now hearing from some of you that it's offering 80's songs, makes me even more excited! 80's are the best IMO!

Originally, I thought that I disliked Radio Hits but liked Party Songs at least enough to keep it. However, I did Party Songs for the second time today, and I realized that I don't like it either. It has an unorganized feel to it - it starts out fast, then slows down, then does the "HIIT" intervals that aren't really HIIT, then goes to some slower walking where the tempo varies a lot depending on what song it is, and then finishes with one more HIIT interval before doing a very slow cool down. The workout just doesn't make sense to me. Also, the music is the same for all of the HIIT intervals so it gets very boring.

Can anybody actually list the song titles included in the respective dvds?
