Movie Review: If I could only have one workout DVD, this would be it
Summary: 5 Stars
There is just so much on this DVD:
Two cardio workouts: one low intensity, one high intensity.
Three workouts each for the lower body and upper body. You can pick from low, medium or high intensity.
One ab workout. Denise incorporates three different levels for many of the ab exercises, so you can stay at one level or step up the intensity as the workout goes along.
There's also a separate "chapter" for cool-down and stretch.
You can customize your workout in many ways. You can choose to have music only or music with Denise talking. You can simply choose "low", "medium" or "high" and it will put you through the cardio and appropriate toning segments or you can go to custom workout and put together your own. Since you pick everything out on the custom workout all at one time, once it's playing, it's seamless...no flipping back and forth to the menu at all.
Because you have so much variety to choose from, I think this is a DVD you can really grow with.
Denise is Denise. If you've never enjoyed working out with her, don't buy this. But for those of us who enjoy her "company," I unhesitatingly give this a strong recommendation.
Movie Review: Great workout with flexibility
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a fit person who has been running and doing yoga for a few years but wanted to mix things up by trying aerobics for the first time. I really enjoy this dvd because it gives you several options (2 cardio workouts, 3 upper body, 3 lower body, abs, & stretch). You can choose a pre-programmed workout or customize one yourself.
This was important to me because as a runner I have very strong legs so I immediately jumped to the high intensity lower body. However, my upper body is not developed so I started out on the low intensity and have now worked my way up to the moderate intensity version.
The cardio/aerobic routines are fun - she has a positive and enthusiastic attitude which keeps you going. She mixes up different styles (traditional sport, yoga, pilates, etc) to keep it interesting. I prefer the low intensity cardio, just because I think it's more fun.
One of the most important factors for getting into shape is variety & surprise: you have to keep your muscles guessing in order to make them work, and you have to vary intensity to burn fat most efficiently. This dvd gives you the chance to do these things.
I would highly recommend this dvd for people of all fitness levels.
Movie Review: This product is AWESOME! If you're annoyed by Denises motivation style..it doesn't matter! You can turn her voice off.
Summary: 5 Stars
I just put in my DVD for the first time and I am amazed. I'm 19 years old turning 20 in Feb. I was a captain on my varsity volleyball team through out high school...since I've graduated I've done NOTHING...no working out no nothing. I played the first 5 minutes of the low intensity workout and I was pumped up! It was a little difficult but I felt so revived! My husband (yes I married young) wants to do it with me! And the options on how you want to customize is so neat! I'm so excited!
********I've been reading on here a lot and noticing that there are a lot of people who dislike hearing Denise talk and motivate you through the whole thing. I'm not one of those people but IF YOU ARE...before each workout you can choose whether you'd like to hear Denise & music, or just the music itself through out the workout. And the music is very upbeat and motivating. So, if Denise gets on your nerves...turn her off and just listen to the upbeat music!
I think this is a great product! If you are just looking for an all around good workout you can customize yourself (you can choose not to customize too).....look no further! =D
Movie Review: Really good addition to home DVD collection
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because I like the option of short workouts and the programming ability. I am a beginner and this is a DVD I can grow with. This would also be good for intermediate. If you are advanced, it would be good for light days or you could do more of the workouts back to back.
Here is what you get:
2 - 20 min. Cardio (low and high intensity)
3 - 10 min. Upper Body (low, med., and high intensity)
3 - 10 min. Lower Body (low, med., and high intensity)
1 - 10 min. abs section
1 - 10 min stretch section
These are good workouts especially the toning sections for medium and high intensity! The cardio isn't exciting but it gets the job done. These workouts don't require much space. All you need is weights and a chair for the toning.
If you don't take to Denise's personality style then don't buy this. I personally feel she really cares, is sincere and wants to motivate you so she does not annoy me.
This one DVD will add a lot of versatility to your exercise routine!! (and you get alot of different routines for the money!)
Movie Review: effective, my favorite right now
Summary: 5 Stars
I initially did not want to buy a Denise Austin DVD, because I found her voice annoying. (saw a 60 second preview online). I read recommended reviews and got it anyway. Boy, am I glad I did. There is variety... 3 different intensity levels and seperate workouts focusing on different parts of body in addition to aerobics. pick and choose what you want to work on a particular day. you create your workout. The time just flys by for me. It's like having a coach along side you. Very easy to follow. Unlike the Tamilee Buns of Steel tapes. (which I don't like, from the ninety's). anyway, denise is peppy and wants you to do well. she reminds me of a school teacher who is encouraging and she lets you know what muscles are being worked on. I will definately buy another dvd. seems like such a nice person. just love her. great for beginners who will work up to intermediate. I am starting to workout again and am active. Perfect for your first workout tape. If you regularly workout will be too easy for you. aerobics part is definately for newbies, but rest is effective. I like Kathy Smith tapes, too.
