Leslie "5 Mile Fat Burning Walk" new favorite? - Page 2

kelsey211 · 11-30-08, 07:31 AM

Jennifer, Amazon had this title until 2 different product numbers with one of them having a free magazine offer attached to it. The magazine offer subsequently disappeared from the listing. This is probably the product number that Amazon canceled. You can re-order from this page:

5 Mile Fat Burning Walk. The price is still $9.99.

I just received notification that mine has shipped from Amazon.

Has anyone seen this one at any of the big box stores?

I reordered from Amazon on Wednesday night after they cancelled the order I had and just got a shipping notice this weekend that mine will be here on Tuesday!!! Gotta love that $9.99 pricetag!

I was wondering if anyone else get a cancellation notice for this pre-order? I received one last week, It stated that they were unable get this in. I was really bummed!

Hi Jennifer and welcome!

Mine hasn't been shipped from Amazon yet. I preordered a while ago with a gift certificate and added in a few Christmas CDs, so I hope it ships soon.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the new 5 Day Slim Down. I think I was relying too much on the Collage reviews, which seemed to downplay its intensity, variety, and, heck, fun factor. I worked up a good sweat with that one even before the brief jogging interlude in the last mile. And Leslie is totally not looney in that one, too.
So I'm looking forward to this one as well! I sold the original Advanced 5 Mile to get it (that one never really grabbed me, and I'm not the Leslie completionist), and it sounds like I won't regret it.

Jennifer, welcome! Hope you're still able to get it from Amazon. Several others had the same problem, but Kelsey explained what happened very well.

Thanks for all the help, I'll bet that is what happened! I will have to reorder or put in an order with Total Fitness.

Hmm, I don't have any Leslies, but was thinking of picking one up to use on the rebounder. I checked out the Collage clip and her giggling about calling jogging "boosted walking" made her seem really cute and endearing. I think this may be my first Leslie!

KathAL79 · 12-01-08, 11:56 AM

Well, just after posting yesterday I got a notice from Amazon saying mine had shipped. Hooray!

Raquel, welcome to the wonderful world of Leslie! The great thing about her workouts is their simplicity, which allows you to do it as is, modify up, or modify down, and still get a great workout every time. Leslie's my go to instructor when I'm under the weather, restarting, need a boost, or don't want to have to think. But she can be modified up quite a bit, by adding impact (e.g. turning side steps into skater hops), taking it to the rebounder / step / ramp / Bosu, adding boosters (e.g. 1-3 lb. hand weights), etc. She makes workouts beginners can do, but at the same time we have hard core athletes like marathon runners who use many of those same videos. How many instructors can say that?

i agree w/kath that there's a place for leslie in almost everyone's collection.

with the hectic holidays going on, it's one of the few that i can count on to get something in for the day!
