Another Great 3 Miler from Leslie!
Walk Your Belly Flat is another great walk aerobic workout from Leslie that, as with every other Leslie workout, does not disappoint me. The walk is brisk and energizing, keeping the heart-rate elevated all the way through.

This IS a 3 MILE WALK. The floor work at the end is NOT part of the 3 mile walk, so this walk is NOT comparable to the Walk Your Way Thin: Belly, Buns, Thighs Slim Down (Target Exclusive) which does incorporate the fit cuff work within the 3 miles. No worries - you will get 3 miles of very high-energy, fast-paced power walking. If you still question whether you are getting 3 miles of walking, Leslie seems to have anticipated your question and there is a message that comes on the screen - takes up the whole screen like a brief commercial break - which says "You just did 3 miles!"

I'll now concentrate on what is DIFFERENT about this 3 miler than other 3 miles & what gives it the title Walk Your BELLY Flat:

The Walk Clock: I love this new feature. I'm one of those people who hits the display on my DVD so I can see how much time is remaining. To me it makes the walk go by faster not slower. The time goes by the amount of time remaining in each individual mile, not the whole workout. If you are not one of those people who likes to see the time remaining, then I think you'll really be annoyed by the feature as you can't get rid of that clock and it's there throughout the entire walk.

How does this walk focus on your BELLY: This is really classic Leslie walking. Those who are looking for new combinations won't find it here. Besides the floor work at the end, the only other thing that FOCUSES on working your belly is the knee lifts. There does seem to be more knee lifts in this one then in other workouts. She does mostly the knee lifts with your legs apart...and lots of double and quadruple knee lifts. She also emphasizes that CALORIE BURN reduces belly fat. She says that it does more for you than crunches. So it's also really her commentary/terminology that focuses on the belly (think A Walk and a Talk series - Walk Down Your Blood Sugar & Heart Healthy Walk - She is focusing on an area that is so important for us to take care of and that it's more important to reduce your belly fat than to be a certain weight, etc.).

I can't think of anything else that makes this walk distinct from other walks. Of course they are all different to me but I'm trying to be critical for those who would like to know how this walk is very different from the others they own...

It does go by really fast! Although 5 Fat Burning Miles still wins as far as the workout that goes by the fastest (in my opinion). The walk is about 42 minutes long and that includes the warm-up & cool down. There is NO stretching...Leslie then goes right into the floor work. If you aren't doing the floor work then you will want to do your own stretching.....not a big deal for me as I sometimes do my own stretching anyway if I feel like doing more/less.

For those who love BOOSTED WALKING: There is a little bit of that in this walk. I'll say it gives you a taste of boosted walking. While she does just a little bit earlier in the walk, the longest boost is in the middle of the 3rd mile: 1 minute.

MILE MARKERS & MESSAGES: There are messages on the screen throughout this walk like many of the new walks. Messages that correlate to things Leslie is saying. There is also a message to tell you when you have walked half a mile, 1 mile, 1.5 miles, 2 miles, 2.5 miles, and 3 miles.

Great Workout, But....
I have been a Leslie Sansone fan for years and can safely say that I probably have EVERY SINGLE exercise DVD Leslie has ever put out. I use her workouts every day and have kept off my 30-pound weight loss thanks to her. With that said, I wanted to review this newest DVD and break down the pros and cons of this workout DVD.

PROS:
1. Leslie still has the same energy she always has and the 3 miles really fly by.
2. Great music to keep you going, which is also a pretty standard thing for Leslie.
3. The moves do work and weight will either come off, or it is a great way to maintain your weight loss.

CONS:
1. My BIGGEST complaint with this DVD is that after the 3-mile walk, her abdominal workout is limited to just four reps of bicycle crunches - that's it with regard to abdominal work. For the DVD to be catered toward flattening your belly, I thought Leslie would have incorporated more of her great abdominal workouts into this DVD. She's got some great ones from her other DVDs!

2. I also wanted to point out that I've noticed that all of the newer DVDs she's putting out has been with her by herself. In her older DVDs, she's often said that she prefers working out with her friends or a group of people. I wonder what changed to cause Leslie to work out alone these days. The last "group" DVD she put out was "The Big Burn". I don't know about everyone else, but I personally love having a group working out with Leslie. It's more upbeat, and it is fun to see the engagement between Leslie and her friends. Again, this is just my personal opinion.

All in all, I absolutely love Leslie Sansone and will continue to use her DVDs for exercise, but this particular one was not one of my favorites. :) I didn't like that she is alone AGAIN (!), and the abdominal workout after the walk is limited to four sets of one exercise.

Best Leslie Sansone DVD so far!!!
I have three other of Leslie's exercise DVDs and have found them all beneficial. With the help of the Momentum Plan through Weight Watchers I have lost 30 pounds and three dress sizes in the last six months and Leslie's exercise DVDs have been an important part of my progress. In my opinion, this is the best of Leslie's DVDs that I have tried. I like the continuous clock that lets you know how much time you have left to walk a mile - sometimes that's the encouragement you need to keep going. Also, I really enjoy the fact that this is a real one-on-one with Leslie - no other gals with her (even though I love you gals) I found them to be a distraction and this focusing by Leslie on the camera and talking to "me" really works. She seemed to provide more motivational and instructional information than in past exercise DVDs. The three miles flew by!! Hurray, Leslie. Keep up the good work.
