Yes that's it, one of my alltime favorites. Mary Kay will put you through your paces!

I got it recently on Amazon for about $23.00 including Prime shipping. Yes, worth it. And I like the squishy band too as it doesn't squeeze my fingers like a usual workout band does.

Yes that is the one. It's really good. I had to buy a second one as I wore my first one out. I found it on YouTube before but I like to have the DVD.

Question about the Miracle Miles set, since I also saw it on Amazon for pretty cheap: are the DVDs really set up like:

- Disc 1: 1 mile
- Disc 2: 2 miles
- Disc 3: 3 miles
- Disc 4: 4 miles

And that's it? So there is no way to string things together on the same DVD? I kind of like one of the walks that they have a preview of on YouTube and had been debating getting this set, but the wastefulness of having some full DVDs with only a 15-minute workout on them seems kind of bizarre, and I would probably not even use the 1- and 2-mile walks very much or at all. And does it only go up to 4 miles?

I do like the look of that band, though.

Love the band!
Walmart was selling it for $20 back when the set first came out

It goes up to 5 miles, and that is on it's own DVD. Each has it's own DVD. The 1 mile walk is really slow. I don't see myself ever using it. The others are fine, but unless you make copies/files and string them together you have to put in that other DVD. But the 4 mile is on it's own DVD so you do get 4 miles on one. Or 5 miles, or 3, or 2.

Also, I almost forgot, I was not able to back these up. They are copy protected. So I would not be able to string anything together. I have not been able to back up any LS DVDs.

I had no trouble ripping the files but cannot remember whether I used handbrake or Freemake.

I used Wondershare and they didn't work with that. Handbrake or freemake... may have to look into these

Thanks for that breakdown! That sounds a little better, although it does also sound like the 1 mile is too slow for where I currently am fitness-wise, although who knows what life circumstances may bring. The price point is good, and I like the idea of mixing in some toning. Sounds like Jessica Smith's 6-Mile DVD with the strength segments (which I love).
