The Miles are REALLY BIG!
POSTED
Jul 26We had simply the BEST time shooting last week the soon-to-be-released walking DVD, 5 Really Big Miles !! It was such a blessing to be surrounded by an amazing cast and crew who worked so hard to make this what we think will be a truly great workout. It is set to release in October of 2011, and you can PRE-ORDER by clicking RIGHT HERE
We asked Walkers on Facebook and Twitter to tune in virtually while we filmed Mile 5. Hundreds of inspiring comments came pouring in, and we made special shout-outs to some of the walkers who responded. Thank you ALL who took the time to share why you walk with us and the entire walking community. We were moved to tears, and are gracious beyond words.
Below are some photos from the taping! We can’t wait for this one to be released to Walmart stores in the fall!
Hope you have a HAPPY, HEALTHY Tuesday!

leslie it was so great to be able to sneak a peak at the new dvd. I can't wait until i add it to the other 25 i already own. I just can't get enough of your beauitful smile and encourging words, telling me why it's important to exercise. I've been with you almost 5 years and have loved every step of the way. You will always be my walk coach for life. THANK YOU for all you do, I believe GOD has really used you in reaching and changing peoples lives. Never stop what you are doing.
I will def. pre-order this DVD -- I am maintaining my 75 lb. weight loss beautifully with your Walk System, Leslie and my library of DVD's to choose from keeps growing! Looking forward to this new DVD!
My daughter is a resident of California, and hopes to see some LIVE classes pop up in the Santa Monica area, as I would like to see some here in central Connecticut, as well!
You are amazing Leslie! Such an inspiration to me on my fitness journey! Stay strong and be Blessed!!
I am outside US. Walmart does not ship outside US. Now what? I need this DVD too. Haha. Please advice.

I've been walking with you daily for 2 full years now, Leslie! I'm so glad I found "Walk at Home" in July 2009. You helped turn walking from something I like into something I LOVE. Thank you! :)
Looking forward to the new DVD. I am using your programs again to loose weight that I let creep back on me. I love walking and I love when I sweat a lot and feel great when I have completed 3 or more miles. Keep up the great work Leslie!
I LOVE the one video that I have of yours, Leslie, and I look forward to adding more to my workout collection of DVD's. Do you remember a Michelina's frozen food promotion that you did awhile back? Well, I saved my UPC's and sent in the money for the Walk Away the Pounds Walk with Me and I have been in WALKING LOVE since then. I haven't taken care of myself in terms of what I have eaten and found out for the second time in my life at the age of 33 that my cholesterol is a little elevated. All I have to say is THANK YOU for putting together a wonderful video that I can follow easily from the privacy of my own home when my son has his nap or when he goes to sleep at night. I'm a busy wife, Mom, teacher, and wrapping up my Master's degree online so going to a gym is a crazy thought. You are wonderful and I love, love, LOVE this first video and can't wait to get more of them!
My name is Katranka Fantroy, I'm 39 y/o, I was hurt by a situation and I sat around feeling sorry for myself, so I picked myself up and started in April the four mile fast and firm workout. Since I am down 35 lbs. Every walk I am lifting myself and my self esteem. I'm not where I want to be just yet but I have no doubt that I will get there. You don't know how good it makes me feel when someone compliments me on my lost, so I lost two things that I never want back again, a man and the weight. Not going backwards again. Thanks to you Lesilie and your team.
This new DVD looks great! I'm a newcomer and have been walking with you daily for 2 months. I was diagnosed with diabetes 2 in March, started to exercise and with the help of your walking exercise program have lost 25 lbs. I have reached mile 4 which I think is good since, on my first attempt, I could only do 5 minutes of your 5 mile tape. Oh and I will be 66 in December so your walking system is terrific for any age group! Now I just have to get my husband off the couch and walk, walk, walk with me! Thanks so much Leslie!
We will release more details on our blog and on Facebook as they come, Esmerelda! Hold tight - we haven't forgotten you! Thank you for walking with us!!
Leslie you are such an inspiration! You keep us motivated and inspired; keep up the good work and continue to WALK LIVE!
Been walking with Leslie for several years now and have loved each and every workout produced by Leslie; as a Walk Leader I love spreading the good news about this great way to walk to better health and fitness; cant wait for this new workout - looks like another great one!
Hi Leslie, I am so thankful for your walking program, I started it when I was driving truck with my husband cross country, and yes I was able to do the walking right in the truck, so it is possible to do it in a very small space. I am 68 years old now and I am doing the 4 mile walk, I have type 2 diabeties and I have lowwered my insulin from 80 units a day to 25 units and I have lost 42 pounds. Thank you so much for what you do, anyone can do this program.
Hi Leslie-
I found your Cardio Slimdown workout on Exercise TV. I loved it and and wanted more. Went to Walmart and Tar-jay and got a few of your walking DVD's. They are perfect for me- exactly what I needed. I am loving every minute of them.
Thanks so much for providing such a great way to workout at home. Today I did the 5 mile DVD. I feel great.
My best- Diane
Hi I really enjoy the walk videos. I am 71. I have done the walk videos and the 4 mile fast walk. I have just started the Walk Your Belly Flat exercises. I have only done it a couple of times, since i have just gotten it. So far I have only done 2 miles of the 3 miles. But I will do the 3 miles soon. Leslie I am wondering; is this still a good video for someone my age. I know we need this, and this is the way I lose weight is to exercise with healthy eating. I also walk outside, whenever I can. Thanks Leslie for your videos. I would love hearing from you and others.
Can't wait new DVD as I have been walking with u for 20 yrs and have every DVD u have ever put out u have kept me healthy and slim u r a walking angel u always make me feel like wAlking so thankyou from the bottom of my heart . I live in Australia so thank god for amazon so I can buy your DVDs. Luv u xxxx
leslie, you say you can burn off a meal. what would you estimate the number of calories that would be. we do your tape at the gym and we all love it. i also do it at home with 2 different dvds.
Hi Leslie, I've been exercising only since March 2011 and was very encouraged by your program. As I was doing it I felt this would also be great to do with my friends. Since about April my friends and I (4 of us) have been walking twice a week when we can, and then also on our own at home as well. We all enjoy your program alot. We were wondering if you have t-shirts with a logo or if we got a logo and put them on our own t's, are there any restrictions as to what we can use? We would like to present ourselves to our church and get a group going. Again thank you for such a great program.
