leslie 5 really big miles - where are the forum reviews of it? - Page 6

MomOf2Gremlins · 11-10-11, 08:09 AM

Ok, today I did it for the 3rd time (not all 5 miles, today I only did the first 2) and I have to say, the more I do it, the more I actually like it!

While the group isn't personally my favorite, the different music and steps are enough for me to really liking this walk! To me the time went by quickly, the stretchie band workout feels fun (also some different moves there than what we're used from Leslie's other stretchie band walks) and overall it's really a good DVD IMO!
I focused on Leslie's behavior this time after reading some comments here and I have to say, it didn't feel 'fake' to me. It's her normal/typical Leslie style; greeting and naming some walkers, talking, laughing..

If one uses this DVD only for 1-2 miles in a row, I think one really gets a lot of great walks for the price!
Just wanted to give a little update for those who might be on the fence with it and haven't bought it yet due to some reviews here.

I'd agree - she's perky yet subdued. The only time she seems like herself in 5RBM is when she introduces her brother.

Personally I liked her personality in this one. She is light, yet more focused than she is in others. Personally I liked that about it. The workout, I find you are constantly changing up what you are doing and so it seems to go by pretty fast to me. I find myself reaching for this workout more than any of my others most of the time. Still, i'm not a huge fan of mile 4 and i haven't done it in a couple of weeks. The stopping to lunge and squat just seems disconnected from the rest of the mile. Besides, I get enough of those in all my other workouts that I don't need, or want them when doing my walks! That, and the silly Facebook friends part are the only negatives I have on this one. Otherwise I think it's easy to say it's my favorite of all my leslies because there is a lot of variety to it.
