You can even choose the same mini walk twice if you like.** Experience**I chose to do all of the walks, which got tedious the more I went. According to my calorie count watch, I burned 846 calories surprisingly. Then again, I was moving for almost two straight whole hours. When I did this the second time, I burned 733.The All mini walks segment are as follows:1. Light Walk - According to Leslie, she wants you to use this mini walk as a warm-up. And that's exactly what it felt like. There is no jumping or anything brisk. Again, it feels like a warm-up or gentle walk.2. Dance Walk - You're not really dancing, but there is cha-chas, and Mambos. There are kicks toward the end but knee-lifts. There is no jumping.3. Walk, Kick + Jab - First, it starts out slow, and then it gets pretty brisk. You'll do mini squats that almost feel like side steps. You'll turn to the side and do side steps along with jab-cross movement. She also mixes in a kick with your double side steps. That move really took me off guard a bit, but I caught up. You'll also do some back taps while your arms swing forward and back. There is no jumping in this.4. Tummy Trimmer - It had a slow start and then it picked up in speed. She'll have you do regular skaters, but as you do double side steps, she'll ask you to tack on a skater along with that, which can be a little tricky. There are kicks and the knee lifts come with arms that will rise over your head and come down with your elbow touching to your hip. I really felt those in my core. There are no shifts, twists, or bouncing in this.5. Short & Sweaty - I was tricked on this mini walk as I assumed it was going to be a lot of jumping, bouncing, shifts, and all those high intensity moves, but all it is, is that you're going at a fast pace. The walk starts off already brisk and then gets brisker. The only hardest move for me was doing those twist side steps that almost make you have to hop.6. Interval Walk - You will have 3 interval rounds where you start off slow and then she'll have you run up 4, stay in place for 4, and then run back 4. This lasts about 60 seconds.7. Upper Body - It's pretty much self-explanatory. With almost every move you do, you'll do something with your hands like lateral raises, overhead press, chest press, pushing your hands back when you do kickbacks. One thing I noticed was that there were no knee-lifts.8. Lower Body - This mini walk got me teeth-gritting becuase she just had to include lunges. Lunges make me feel weird around the knee and ankles. You'll do squats with your feet close together along with other common movements like kicks.9. Brisk + Sweaty - It's just as the title says. You'll be moving pretty fast but there's no jumping or high intensity movements.10. Flexibility Walk - This is most definitely, or should be the last mini walk in your customize walk. It's very low-impact and really, probably the best cool down she's had in a long time, because she's not rushing through it.Now, at the end of of these mini walks, she'll kind of slow it down, but there's no cooldown up for each of them. The Flexibility walk is the walk for cooldowns. She kind of tricked me when at the end of the light walk, she started to breathe in and out with her hands stretched up and coming back. I thought she was going to stretch after that. But she said to keep walking if we're going to another mini walk or skip to flexibility walk for stretch.***Pros***1. The music is pretty leveled out. I could hear her very well as well as the music at the same time. So, this is not a DVD where you can hardly hear her, or can't hear the music at all.2. The music itself is pretty decent. It kind of reminds of a trance dance club just a bit. But it has a decent beat. There was one I really liked in the lower body mini walk.3. She gives one healthy tip in each of her mini walks. The one I loved the most was when she said it is very expensive to be unhealthy. And she's right. You don't want to visit the hospital all the time. Exercise and eat right, and your body will take care of you in return.4. Nobody on the set was annoying. I already know three of them, such as Nick from from Walk it off in 30 days, Tina from Walk to the Hits, and Nikki from her various DVDs back in 2012. So, there's only one new one there on the set and she moves with fire, almost motivating you to give your best. But there were a lot of powerful smiles. Nick has the best smile.***Cons***1. Leslie does get off step a lot. Sometimes even when a scene goes to another and then back to her, she's on a different step.2. Sometimes I've noticed they were not quite correlated with the beat, as if whoever put the DVD together kind of had a little botch in the audio. So, I'd be going to the original beat she had me on, but all of the sudden, they were either slow or fast for a few seconds.**Neutral**1. There is no time clock. But all should be 10 minutes. So, you have an idea of how long they are.2. I've noticed people have said in the past that she's pretty loud or talks too much. Sometimes her laughs can be exaggerated, but here, she's pretty laid back, very gentle.**other**I am 154 pounds if it helps. So, if you're around my size, you can definitely get this done. My mother is in her early 50's and has lost around 10 pounds doing Leslie DVDs. Leslie has helped me lose 11 pounds so far. So, the stuff works. If you have questions, please ask. I'm connected to my email daily.Overall, I think the best part about this DVD is just that you have more power and options to set up your workout out the way you want it. If you're just too tired, pick out gentle walks. If you want a challenge, you can even pick the toughest mini walks.

Gotta love Leslie. She helps me to keep moving, keep motivated, and increase my general sense of wellness. I have lost and gained weight several times through my life. While I am an active person, I dont always watch what I eat. So while exercising has little direct impact, there are so many other health benefits, that it indirectly, positively impacts weight loss goals (and definitely overall health). Just getting up and moving can reduce appetite, reduce/stabilize blood glucose levels, increase lung, heart capacity, increase strength & endurance, increase muscle (which burns more calories at rest, ie more biologically needy), and improve mood/calmness/life outlook. And so, whenever I am regularly including Leslie Sansone Walk at Home workouts in my life, I tend to make better decisions all around, and feel better. And yes, I definitely lose weight too.I always choose Leslie over other workouts. I am more apt to grab an older DVD, than newer stuff. I prefer the use of regular every day people from different walks of life, different fitness levels, and different levels of enthusiasm (lol)-- seriously, I really do love seeing the occasional grouchy face over the cliched smiles plastered on some work out video people faces. I'm not totally into super cheerful over the top excited work out leaders. Leslie can get excited, but dang.. she is so stinkin' authentic. I feel like I am walking with a real person when she is on screen. Her comments are helpful. Not perfect, some snafus are kinda funny, totally normal feeling. Clearly not overly produced. I am drawn to that!That being said, I have absolute favorite work outs (3 mile heart healthy, 3 miles weight loss), and I have some that I almost never use (miracle miles 5 dvd set). THIS one is somewhere in between. I like this for when I am ready to change it up a bit, and get a few added different styles and energy that the others I do nearly every day. I dont care for the dance segment. Even though it isnt exactly complicated, I am terrible at coordination in watching dance moves. Fortunately it is only one short segment. The lower body can be a little taxing on my body. I cant exactly do lunges without hurting my lower back, so I either skip that, or I do squats or something else in place of that activity. Everything else is excellent for me. LOVe the arm work out-- I am always amazed at how much that helps my arms and overall feeling of strength (and oddly, seems to boost my caloric burn over lower body stuff).I figure, it can't hurt to add this to your collection. Add as many as you can- so many to choose from. Then, choose at random, or choose based on how you're feeling that day. Even if it is a near similar workout, the commentary, stage, dress, people, energy/vibe is always different. Kind of like taking a work out class, but in home.I like this one, not my fave, but definitely a welcome addition.

I've used Leslie's at home walk DVDs for years - I have over a dozen workouts and have lost weight using her workouts. That said, her daughter seems to now run the company via an online app and I'm just not a fan. I want the DVD's LOL. Added this one to my collection, which appears to have been made in 2014, and it is the BOMB! You can use "all in one" options that run from 30 minutes to 50 minutes or create your own workout mixing and matching the 10-minute walks. I now work from home permanently since COVID and the 10-minute Light Walk is perfect to get me moving a few times during the day. Looking forward to creating customer workouts as well.I miss Leslie - she seems to have retired sometime around 2020 but thrilled to still be able to purchase the DVD's.

This is one of my favourite exercise DVDs — and I have a lot. I love how these 10 minute blasts can be put together for a long workout but it's also great for people who don't have a lot of time or are just starting out with exercise because you can also do only one or two segments for a 10-20 minute workout. I prefer to do 40-70 minutes and love how I can customize my choices to always have a different routine. Of all of Leslie's DVDs, I think this one has the best cool down and stretch session she has ever offered. Even if I do a different workout, I will still sometimes pop this one in just for the cool down and stretch, I love it that much.

Mir gefällt dieses Konzept sehr gut.Man hat die Möglichkeit, sein Workout bis zu zehn Minuten hinunter zu brechen und auch die Schwierigkeitsgrade sind sehr unterschiedlich. Es gibt ein 10 Minuten Programm, das einen nicht zum Schwitzen bringt, ein Anderes schafft das sehr wohl. Es gibt ein Dance-Workout, Kick and Jab, Intervall... alles, was das Herz begehrt.Die Workouts lassen sich auch individuell zusammenstellen

Anyone who can stand up and move their feet can do this, no matter how short of time they might be. The light walk can be used as a warm up or on it's own for those who are very unfit - you'll still feel you have accomplished something and any amount of movement is better than sitting on the sofa! It's great to be able to make your own workout combination, targeting particular areas and as long or short as you feel you can manage. Leslie and her walking companions make this a colourful and uplifting workout - she really is the best.

Love this DVD. I have quite a few of her DVDs and always look forward to her new ones. There is lots of variety on this one. You can pick from her preprogramed workouts or you can "Mix and Match" 1-10 of the segments of your choosing. I usually do 4-5 of the setments 3 times a week and try to do the full DVD on Sunday when I have more time. Being able to choose which segments I want to do keeps the workout from becoming mundane and boring. I actually look forward to the 40-60 minutes of "me time". I also like her top 10 tips, she gives a tip towards the end of each segment. The best tip? DON'T OUT EAT WALKING!If you are a fan of Leslie's and want to add to your collection, this is a great DVD to buy. Different music and a couple of new moves and stretches at the end keep new and fresh.

Have been doing Leslie's dvds for nearly three months now and really love them. I have lost 10 lbs since the beginning of April. All her dvds are great, she's so inspirational and they are fun. This one is no exception. Ten walks to mix and match all different and good fun.
