Walk Slim: Four Fast Miles

Year Released: 2007

Categories: Walking Aerobics


This workout is part of Leslie's Walk Slim set. I have the whole set and had this one sitting on my shelf for ages un-used, feeling like I would never be able to sit through four long miles of Leslie. People kept telling me this one was different and I would like it; I kept ignoring them. I am sorry I did---when I finally pulled this one off my shelf to evaluate it before maybe trading, I loved it and was sorry I had waited so long.

This workout is an interval workout, which Leslie seems to be doing more of these days. Following each walking section, she adds in a section of 'boosted walking' aka jogging. Leslie seems afraid of using the j-word, but that's what it is. For each jogging section, Leslie eases you in with ever-faster walking, then jogs where you move back and forth (which is easier on the knees) then full-on jogging with some variations. The 'boosted' sections are fairly short, but they happen regularly and help the time pass quickly.

This is a really great workout for the more intermediate exerciser, and if you give it your all during the walking parts, you will get a great workout even if you are more advanced. I am so happy I tried this; and so sorry I waited this long! I recommend this one.

Instructor Comments:
Leslie is a long-time favourite of mine and I have many of her workouts. I always enjoy a good Leslie routine!
