Who is worse at confusing titles: Leslie or the Firm?

I had a hard time keeping the Slim Series workouts straight, so I wrote cues on the cover to help me remember. "William Tell + weighted gloves" is the cue I'd use for the one you're looking for.

LOL, Alta.
I don't use Leslies (too perky) but if it were me, I'd probably start tacking sticky notes to the boxes with subtitles like "wt gloves" and "James Brown" and "grandmother".

ETA - just saw Kathryn's reply. Same idea. Great minds...

Karen's right - 3 Mile Power Walk does have William Tell and uses gloves. That's probably my favorite workout because I

the mile that Mary Kay leads. (Although it feels kind of awkward, because I get the impression that Leslie, despite what she says, isn't so thrilled that Mary Kay is leading.)

Grandma Jo gets the acknowledgement (with accompanying grimace) in WAP Express 4-Mile Super Challenge.
However, Lynn and Carol are also grandmothers. I can't wait for Leslie to become one -- we might get a special commemorative "Grandma Walk"!!

Mary Kay doesn't lead in the 3-Mile Power Walk, but she does lead a mile in the 3 Mile Weight Loss Walk. I also have 3 Fast Miles and Leslie lets her lead some in that one, but she has no microphone so you can't hear her.

I wish Mary Kay would put out her own walking workout. I think she cues much better than Leslie.

The William Tell overture is in Walk Away Your Stress, but no gloves (except one woman in the back is using them I think.) James Brown is in the Walk Slim Series. I really don't think Leslie's titles are all that confusing. She does try to make them different but they all use WALK obviously.

Perhaps she should call the next one the Four-Mile Power Perambulation? Or Ambulatory Aerobics 1-mile, 2-mile, and 3-mile?

LOL, Alta. I agree! I'm one who does find the titles confusing and I think she should just start numbering them. How many ways can you put Walk in a title?

Thanks, Susan! I didn't think I was imagining the William Tell overture being in another workout besides the three mile power walk. I got rid of that one because the sound was horrible.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't tell them apart. I was beginning to think there's something wrong with me! It doesn't matter though, cuz I ended up giving all my Leslies away, I just can't take her repetativeness (in titles or in her moves!)

suebella · 08-03-11, 12:43 PM

HA!

It might be easier to list the workouts where she doesn't mention grandmas!

I only have five Leslie workouts. I love them but feel no need to acquire any more UNLESS she casts Alton again. Then I will be first in line.

(I think it was mentioned before but James Brown is in Four Fast Miles, which is Leslie at her wackiest, I think!)
