Movie Reviews of Ultimate Fat BurnerMovie Review: Finally, Denise has produced something that gets my heart rate up... Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, harsh title. I generally love Denise Austin's workouts, but until I came across this DVD it seemed pretty hopeless that I'd find a good Denise cardio-centric workout. Anyway, let's get down to the critique. Denise Austin, if you're not familiar with her, is known to be an extremely perky workout instructor, so if you don't mind energetic and sometimes lame cheers of encouragement, then Denise Austin will work fine for you.
More specifically to this DVD: This is a circuit interval training workout, where you alternate every few minutes between cardio and weight lifting. For this workout, you'll need a step bench and some weights. Denise recommends 3 lb weights, but I say if you're more advanced, or if you've been working out for a while, you can use whatever you feel comfortable with. I started out with 5 lbs but now, after a few months of using this DVD I keep a few different weights handy, 8 - 15 lbs, and use appropriately. That's one of the advantages of this workout, in that if it gets too easy, there are ways to adjust it w/ little inconvenience. In addition to changing your weights, you can also increase the height of your step, do the cardio workouts with ankle or wrist weights or bands (I use Billy bands - they're individual bands for each foot/hand with loopholes at the feet. they work great for the kickboxing segments of this dvd!).
In terms of difficulty: I've been working out regularly for 3 or 4 years now, and I found this to be relatively challenging when I first tried this DVD. Not challenging in the sense that it was hard to keep up with or had difficult moves, but challenging in that the cardio kept my heart rate up, and I felt my muscles getting stronger with the weight lifting. Denise is pretty easy to follow, although her queuing isn't the best. She sometimes says "last one!" when it really isn't, for example. But that's easy to overlook, and with a few goes at it, you fall into step with Denise and her background exercisers.
On the whole, this is one of Denise's better workouts, and definitely one of the better sources of cardio fitness out there, and definitely worth the money. Use it 3-4 times a week and I think you'll see a difference. :)
