leslie 5 really big miles - where are the forum reviews of it?

[CharM]

I'm dying to know, did Artist of Eyes do it or not?

Before returning to the library last week, I did the 5th mile. It didn't make me change my mind. Leslie was just all over the place with her cuing. It was bad. Charlie still didn't know how to double side step, while his wife, Suzette, looked like she was skipping in place, and yes, there was one girl mugging for the camera, even Leslie said, "That's enough of you, let's go to Charlie. Bless his heart." hahaa I made that up, she said no such thing, but she did move from that girl quick. And the whole, "let's check up on our Facebook friends" is just so weird.

I didn't care for the toning segments. Mile 3 is ok.
This is my first Leslie. Does she always say "walk, walk, walk" a zillion times? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can mute her.

are you serious?

i have a bunch of leslie's, and i haven't opened my copy of this one yet. i like her walk slim 3 and 4 miles and the old WATP series (balls, Abs and Express - stretchie).

i have others, but really like the ones above. also her WATP-Abs Super mile challenge (only available on vhs).

I'm glad I have this workout. It's different enough from Leslie's others that it will get used. But I will NEVER do the whole 5 miles again (did it once). Although Leslie changes the steps frequently, has anyone else noticed a lack of diversity in movement? She seems to do about a gazillion side steps and not nearly as many front kicks or kick backs.

Yeah, she says it all the time.

There's also one dvd where she repeats "biceps, triceps" over and over while you're doing curls and kickbacks

I did the cool down today which I normally don't and when Leslie is calling out everyone's name it reminded me of Romper Room. I see Mary, and Susan, and Bobby...

that's why i like using her workouts from the Andrea Ambandos and especially Cal Pozo days because for whatever reason, there was more variability in her movements. i also noticed she started on a different foot back in those days ~ i think her current workouts have us using our right foot on the down beat assuming you follow her "mirror-style".

the older workouts also have different sets, obviously, and clothing.

I don't know what it is exactly, but something about 5 Really Big Miles just makes me feel blah. Will set it aside for a while and revisit it down the line, but I suspect this won't be a keeper for me.

Leslie seems perky in 5RBM, yet her enthusiasm seems somewhat forced. As if she didn't have full control over the production, or, it was rushed or something. I hope this is just a fluke.
