Summary: You'll use it over and over
Review: I got this two weeks ago and have used it with great sucess on a daily basis in a small living room cluttered with train tracks and two small boys who sometimes "join" me. There's nothing complicated about it (good thing, I seriously lack coordination!) and although it looks simple, it gives surprisingly great results. It's easy to follow along, even when I can't hear what she's saying due to a multitude of electronic toys singing their obnoxious melodies around me thanks to the kids. I would like more stretching at the end, but I end up just doing more stretching on my own since all my muscles are nice and warm after the 3 mile walk. I usually work out with Denise Austin tapes, this is my first Leslie Sansone workout and I'm very impressed. I though Denise was as "user friendly" as you could get, boy was I wrong! I would recommend this to people in all levels of fitness. I generally get most of my excercise by pushing the double stroller around outside, but with the recent inclement weather, that was impossible, and this was a great alternative! Buy it! Then get off the couch and use it!

Summary: Get ready to sweat
Review: I work out occassionally, and bought this as something to do at home when I didn't want to go to the gym, but I wanted to do something. After doing the full routine last night, I can tell you, it's well worth the money.
She keeps you moving with simple steps, and you can work at your own pace. If you are new to working out, I suggest starting with a one mile tape. I love it, and am looking forward to buying more dvds from her series.

Summary: A Decent Workout for all Levels of Fitness
Review: I have never been much into videos and watching someone on TV do something and doing it along with them. A friend let me borrow this 3-mile Leslie Sansone video and I'm so glad!
I'm pretty active - I am in a kickboxing class and am a big fan of the Precor elliptical machines at the gym and make my main workout about 45 minutes of heavy duty elliptical sweating.
I love this Leslie video because it's the perfect length - 45 minutes including a light warmup and cool down. I tend to use this on days when I don't feel like going to the gym or sometimes in addition to my kickboxing class. The moves are simple enough for someone like me who doesn't like the typical aerobics classes in which I spend more time trying to figure out the moves and dance steps rather than focus on intensity.
This 3 mile WATP video is simple to follow and does let me break a sweat and my muscles feel like I've worked. Not as intense as a run on the elliptical, but it does get the heart rate up and calories burning. The girls on the tape do chatter a bit, but I don't think it's a bad chatter. I like when Leslie says things like

Summary: Easy But Effective
Review: I've always been one to enjoy "tough" tapes and ended up buying Leslie's DVD because I needed some that were just cardio. I was pleasantly surprised. Her DVD's are easy but they make you sweat and the time goes by very fast. I've been recommending her DVD's to friends of mine who aren't in an exercise routine. I think it's great for beginners or for supplementing an existing routine.

Summary: Helping Those With Chronic Pain
Review: I've been a fan of Leslie's for a number of yrs now. Being disabled with fibromyalgia, myalgic encheplomylitis, and myofascial pain, exercing of any kind being a major challenge. Leslie and friends show how pacing can help, besides burning calories, becoming stronger physiologically, mentally, and overall a "feeling of well being." I started with her 2 Mile, her quick 1 Mile, her other 3 Miler, and now this, the Super Fat Burning. I rate this one the best of the best, I'm so grateful for the help with a decrease of pain throughout my body. Still have to deal with medications, but ultimately hope to be able to discontinue many of them.

Summary: Very enjoyable and more updated than many of my WATP DVDs.
Review: Last fall, when I first heard about Leslie's workout tapes, I bought the 3-DVD set of the 1-mile, 2-mile and 4-mile DVDs. I was able to move quickly from the 1-mile to the 2-mile, but going from there to the 4-mile proved much more challenging. I thought I'd try a 3-mile as a middle step until I could easily get through the 4-mile and bought this one earlier this year.
I love it! Things I like alot: 1) there are more people participating in the workout; 2) Leslie has MUCH more interaction with the people in the workout; 3) the set/studio where the DVD is filmed is a hundred times better; 4) the transitions in music/pace are a hundred times better; 5) the music, while not hugely inspiring, is good; and 6) while it's a shallow and silly thing, this DVD is MUCH more up-to-date than the others and I don't have to look at terribly outdated workout outfits and hairdos anymore. :)
I have no major dislikes. After watching/listening to the DVD repeatedly over a course of months, there are LITTLE things that bug me like the fact that Leslie so often refers to "the girls" and ignores the fact that there is a man participating (Randy). I noticed that Randy was dressed differently than the girls (their outfits are all in a matching color scheme and by the same company), so I wondered if maybe Randy was a "fill-in" for someone who couldn't make it at the last minute and therefore Leslie was used to it being all girls and kept forgetting he was back there (he was in the back row).
All in all, a WONDERFUL exercise tool!

Summary: Great for those days...
Review: Leslie Sansone offers potent, efficient weight loss exercise in this 3 Mile video. The day I received it, I popped it in the DVD player and followed right along. I easily walked 3 miles within 40 minutes---without staring at the clock---without thinking "when is this going to end"?---without being distracted which is a HUGE sign that I am making progress.The following weekend I did the video twice a day. Within a couple of days, I could feel the difference. My tummy did not "pooch" out as much, my glutes, quads and calves felt toned (a little tight after the workout, but this was eased with some stretching). I noticed my posture was better and my abs felt tighter! Binge eating was not a problem over the weekend!! My little tummy felt full!!!! Then came the moment of truth: the scale. I weigh every morning just to satisfy my own curosity. I noticed within three days of working out I was down TWO pounds. I could feel the difference by my typical body standards and I knew things were changing. I did not change my eating habits that much, just my exercise habits which has made all of the difference in just a few days!! (Yes, I did order a pizza, but before it arrived I did the DVD and ate guilt free that night) This video offered a great workout (including strength training in the last mile and half) and would be PERFECT for someone who does not want their lives to revolve around working out/exercise/gym, but does want to make healthy decisions involving their body and life. Good Luck and God Bless
