Is that Nick Drago in Leslie's "5 Really Big Miles?"

I found another Leslie Sansone workout on my shelf that I'm not sure I've done before:

Walk Slim: 5 Really Big Miles (2011)

I think it is Nick is in the background of the first mile and he seems a bit lost and gets off the beat often. He is very smooth on more recent workouts, so I wonder if that was the first one he appeared in. Leslie's cueing is especially bad in this video, so who can blame him? Plus, she does that thing where she keeps changing her lead foot and everyone has to switch mid-stride.

I can't say I liked this workout. It's a good thing I have about a hundred of her other workouts.


ETA: LOL! I just found a thread from 2011 with my impressions of this video:

"Leslie's new 5 Really Big Miles (aka a Really Big Bore). I didn't enjoy this at all and kept skipping through the chapters to find a better part. Her cueing is really off and there are too many background exercisers. The sound is odd. One minute, her voice is too loud, the next the music is too loud. I got 30 minutes of cardio in.

This is not a winner and will go to the bottom of my Leslie pile."

I know!

Sometimes I change my mind about a workout. Not too often though.

I don't think that is Nick. He is a dancer by trade, so I doubt he would have been "off beat" in any workout.

thanks for saving me some money, won't be purchasing this one!

It's not Nick, it's Charlie. I like WS 5 Really Big Miles very much! Every time I did this workout I could feel the uplifting energy.

Leslie designed this walking program around the theme of love and invited for some of the miles a group of friends and family
celebrating their milestone wedding anniversaries, Charlie and his wife Suezette included.

She did that a few times in today's 4 Mile Miracle Miles disc. Sometimes I get it right on my own, then I see her so I think I'm wrong, so I change to match up with her, only to have her switch to where I was. Fool me five times, shame on me! (I don't think it happened five times) I should just stay put, but it kinda annoys me when I don't match what they're doing.

Oh and thank you, Ilde, for letting us know the man's name. I didn't think it was Nick, but the clip I saw didn't give me a clear view of him.
