Leslie Sansone
This is a brand new release from Leslie, not
one that has been repackaged or renamed.
The DVD cover says it is the 3 Mile Weight
Loss Walk, but when it comes up on the
screen, it says 3 Mile Power Walk. Leslie is
joined by MaryKay (who wears a mic and
leads the second mile), together with
Stephanie & Barb from the Walk Slim
workouts, and newcomers Vance & Suzette.
Most of the music in this was new to me (I
recognized two songs with vocals from Walk
Slim, the rest is all instrumental and not
anything I've heard in her other workouts.)
During one transition between songs in the
second mile and in one transition during the
third mile, there is a noticable gap when one
song ends and another begins, but the rest
of it flows pretty smoothly. The set is also
new. It is light and bright, with hardwood
floors and fake windows in the background
and I liked it alot. Everyone is wearing
different colors; no matching outfits here.
Leslie's cueing is very good in this one, as is
MaryKay's. Leslie talks in the background
sometimes while MaryKay is cueing, but I
don't think she is anywhere near the hyper
level she attains in other recent releases. At
the end of the first mile Leslie and most of
the other walkers use her soft handweights
briefly. There are no weights used during the
second mile, which goes at a faster pace (but
not boosted walking fast, which was just fine
by me). The third mile slows down quite a bit
and the weights are used for most of it;
Leslie makes a point several times of
reminding us to maintain control and not get
swingy with them. Both weights are always
in use at the same time, so there is no issue
with uneven reps. Personally, I think this is
one of Leslie's better produced workouts. I
like it so much I have done it three times in
the week since I received it. I find it very
enjoyable and am glad to have it in my
collection.
