Valancy (or anyone else), if you're looking for even more information on these, there are currently VF reviews of Advanced 5 Mile (or 5 Mile Advanced); reviews for 5 Day Slim Down and 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk on the New Reviews page which will be moved into official spots whenever our overtaxed tech support team has the time.

ETA: Here are the proper review links for 5 Day Slim Down and 5 Mile Fat Burning.

This is what I wrote in my 5-Day Slim Down routine comparing the three:
I prefer both 5 Day Slim Down and 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk to Leslie’s 5 Mile Advanced Walk (or is it Advanced 5 Mile Walk?). I don’t know if that will be true for everyone, however, but this is what I seem to like better: the presence of a warm-up, more freedom to pick and choose individual miles rather than a few set premixes (especially since I can choose directly from the main menu, not rely on the skip button), more variety in moves, no equipment other than sneakers required (although there were people in the Advanced who did the workout without boosters), and a calmer Leslie. Of the three 5-mile walks Leslie has released so far, Slim Down is my favorite because of its variety, followed by Fat Burning Walk.

Does anyone know the difference between "WATP Walk Strong" and "WATP Walk Strong Express"? I've seen multiple covers for something called Walk Strong, but I didn't realize until recently that they might actually be two distinct workouts.

Moved my question here.

FWIW, I picked up 5-mile Fat Burning at Target yesterday. It was shown in their flyer on Sunday. It was $10.

I picked up the "5 mile fat burning" workout at Target - I figured for 10 bucks, it was worth a try. and I just LOVE IT!! I really like the combo of Leslie alone for warmup and cooldown and then other people joining in the other miles. Leslie is a little more subdued when she is alone, and it feels like personal time with her. As a reference, I generally don't like workouts with Leslie alone. This time, the workout just flew by.

The music was great and I don't think I heard 'everybody' in there, although I skipped one mile both times I did it. I modified up using the pink gloves and burned 500 calories in 4 miles, which is on the high end for me.

Definite two thumbs up on this one.

One more question- The WATP 5 Day Fit Walk - those are just the old walks from the WATP series, right? The Collage catalogue says that "all the programs feature a large class", but my Walk and Kick is just Leslie, Mary-Kay, Sandy and Beth. I'm guessing that Collage just goofed a tiny bit in their description.

I really like this one. I got it at Target. I find myself reaching for it fairly often...
