Oltlfan - I agree, I think that is why I don't feel "bonded" with it. I also picked up the Eat, Walk, Lose DVDs and I think I like those better b/c there is more of a rapport w/ the group. Even though it is filmed in the bat cave and the music is "generic". I may come around on the new one...but it may take some time. I loved 4 Big Miles! But, I think that one has the class rapport I'm used to in a Leslie!

I really like the parts of this one that I've tried. I love the bright set and new music and steps.
I would've liked to see at least some of her regular walkers, but the new people were o.k. I never did get to where she introduced them, except for her brother and sis in law, and the couple celebrating their anniversary. I did the warm up, miles 1, 2,3, the cool down and stretch. I almost skipped mile 2 because of the bands, but am glad I didn't as I enjoyed it a lot more than I'd expected to. Mile 3 was so much fun I almost kept going

I got this on Saturday at Target and started it on Sunday. I've done all the miles by now, either one or two at a time. I really like this one. I like the bright set, the music, even the band, though there is not enough upper body work, if any at all. Her other exercisers are more generically "attractive" than her usual bunch, the two girls who do the band segments with her are really fit, I think they may be exercise models (like, REALLY toned and fit). I did two miles last night and I was actually worn out afterwards! This one is a keeper and it'll go in my Firm rotation (that I start next week!)

I'm passing this one onto Mom who became a temporary vidiot after hearing about it.
Pros: I liked the music and the set. I thought the work with the band was better than in my other Leslie (she positions the band differently for tricept work and does more back work). Lunges and squats always work. Cons: Not sure I want to lunge and squat with Leslie. A lot of time lost changing band to other leg. I prefer her usually motley crew - entertaining and motivating. I only do one mile at a time and didn't like that mile one eases you in and mile 5 eases you out. If I get another Leslie it will be 4 Fast Miles since they're all the same consistent speed which works for how I use them. (Although no need to rush this before I know more about Amy's new walk.) |

Yesterday I did the wu, miles 4 & 5, cd & part of the stretch. I wasn't too sure about using the band under one foot at a time for squats, so put both feet in the first time. The 2nd round I did one leg at a time, and it was o.k., same with the lunges.
I'll do this mile every now and then, but it'll never be a favorite
