Walk at Home *Miracle Miles* BRAND NEW dvd set by Leslie Sansone *Part 5 of 5* Final post

For the past 2 weeks I have been posting pictures on Instagram and my review in FIVE parts (since there are 5 dvds in this set) here on my blog instead of posting one really long post!

This is my last post since I have now completed all 5 dvds.

I hope you have enjoyed all my pictures, time segments, and thoughts on each DVD and that it was helpful to you in some way!

Here is my part 1/5 for DVD workout # 1 review:

This is what the main menu looks like. I choose the “play” options on all the workouts because I wanted to hear Leslie’s instructions.

I did mile 5 dvd this morning. Leslie Sansone leads this entire DVD with a large cast.

0:30-5:05 WARM UP

48:09-50:45 BOOSTED WALK with HIIT intervals
50:45-54:45 MIRACLE MILES BAND
54:45-58:00 Transition walk? shows 4 mile marker complete!
58:00-1:03:53 FAST WALK
1:03:53-1:06:23 MIRACLE MILES BAND
1:06:23-1:08:47 COOL DOWN
1:08:47-1:10:15 STRETCH

The Boosted Walk has HIIT (High intensity interval training) training meaning you do 15-20 seconds of jogging to get your heart rate up, and then heel digs during the recovery phase-then repeated a couple of times. Leslie shows you that if you don’t want to jog during the HIIT, you can do fast walking with raising your arms up and down to keep your heart rate up.

The Walk Clock countdown starts at 10:00 and is displayed the rest of the workout on the bottom right.

The music on this entire dvd is to a great exercise beat-no words EXCEPT for during the Fast Walk which does have words during the music. (5:05-13:00)

I love Leslie’s bright shoes and color combos she uses for the different dvds!

I was very disappointed that my calorie burn was LESS with doing this 5 mile walk, than it was doing the 4 mile walk. 🙁 I only burned 377 calories for this walk versus 386 for the 4 mile walk. It was still a very fun walk, but I enjoyed the 4 mile DVD the best (not just because of my calorie burn though)!

As a side note, the person in charge of putting up the signs on the screen to indicate the switch of segments (ie: Fast Walk, Boosted Walk, Miracle Miles Band) did a really crappy job during DVD #3, #4 and especially in #5. Its definitely NOT a big deal when doing these workouts and has no barring on doing the exercises; but in trying to do reviews and post the time segment breakdowns here on my blog, it made it very difficult!

The NEW band is really cool!

It’s about 1/4 inch thick and stretchy with loop holes. There isn’t any difference using this new band versus a regular resistance band honestly.

HOWEVER, I like it better than a traditional band because this new band doesn’t make my hands smell or itch; you can use the loop holes to tighten the resistance; and I don’t have to worry about the band snapping back and hitting my son in the face (yes that has happened before with a traditional resistance band-OUCH!).
