Denise Austin's Core Complete |
  Not a bad workout... |
| I have a ball and really enjoy mixing up my workouts, so I decided to try this video. It really isn't a bad workout, there are some good moves on there...but at some points I found myself feeling awkward and not really getting the best workout that I should. Some moves are really challenging and some moves I just didn't feel were beneficial for me. All in all, not a bad workout...but still not a workout that I reach out for very often. - posted by Erica on 9/23/2011 |

| Hit the Spot |
| Again, another great work out from Denise Austin. I love working with the balls and her tips. It is a great work out for any age. At 59 I enjoy this work out and I am sweating and happy when I am finished working out. - posted by Diana on 3/31/2011 |

| Effective combined with other workouts ( makes my back feel better) |
| There is a lot of variety in this workout to keep me from getting bored. I have done the core complete bonus combined with the warm up the most because it works the whole body in 20 minutes. I have also tried doing every segment in one workout which is challenging. Some moves I have to be very careful and modify do to loss of flexibility in my knee joints but that is not a big deal. As usual, Denise's cuing can be better, but I am still a die hard fan of her workouts. I just love her style. I also have lower back problems and this workout makes my back feel nice and stretched out. The abdominal exercises alone are really great. I say combine it with some more aerobic workouts as this does not raise my heart rate as much as an aerobic workout would. See my review of Barefoot Aerobics. I think this workout makes good use of the exercise ball. - posted by Bernadette with arthritic knees on 7/19/2010 |

| Pretty good... |
| Denis is great I like that shes super excited to be working out all the time...my only problem is she has to many other ppl in one of the segments...its a personal thing I get to distracted when there's a crowed room...but other than that mot to bad...I used this one right after I had my baby because it helped me work my way up to a more intense work out. - posted by Hannah Marie on 4/23/2010 |

| Another terrific Denise DVD! |
| Denise Austin really knows her stuff and is the best fitness instructor for all levels and really knows how to work your muscles effectively and safely. This is a great ball workout and a great change from the usual toning routine of mine and it flies by. She breaks down each workout by segments and always incorporates a core workout followed by an upper body, lower body and buns workout. The last segment is an 18 min. workout that combines a certain part of each segment into a short workout. She uses light weights but I like to use a good amount of weight like 8 or 10 lbs. depending on the exercise. I got an excellent 45 min. workout, and liked the fact that this took me out of my rut of my usual exercise routine. It was fun and an effective workout. - posted by Vivian on 2/6/2010 |

| My Favorite Denise Austin Video |
| I have several Denise Austin workouts, and this is my favorite. It's fun and like someone else said, it's neither too easy nor too hard. If you are an advanced exerciser, this is a great light workout on days you don't feel up to it. Also, this is a great introduction to the stability ball if you don't already have one. Once you try it, you will probably want more stability ball workouts because you get a more full range of motion, and you get support for your back, and you get much more variety of exercises. My pet peeve is when a video has the word "core" in it, but really doesn't deliver what it says. But Denise does deliver in this workout. She doesn't have you do just a bunch of crunches. But every exercise incorporates your core, and she works out every area, including your waist. If you already have a stability ball, I would definitely add this one to your collection of videos. - posted by Stacey on 8/3/2009 |

| It suprised me! |
| I received this DVD over the weekend and tried it for the first time today after my cardio session. I only did the Core/Thighs segment, but was pleasently surprised! There were some moves in this segment that I have not done before, ones that require a lot of balance! It was fun, but it gives me something to works towards. Now half way through (8 mins or so), I somewhat felt let down. Some of the thigh moves weren't challenging, that is until I went to walk up my stairs! I walked up my stairs shortly after finishing this one and my legs were a little shaky!!! I would consider myself an Intermediate/low level Advanced exerciser so working out isn't anything new to me. This is one that will make a great add on to any workout whether it's cardio, intervals, or weights. It's also one that's great when you're short on time and/or don't feel like lugging out all kinds of equipment. To make it harder, strap on some heavy ankle weights and use heavier dumbbells. I have other Denise Austin DVDs that I hate (all of her cardio DVDs that is) but I enjoy her strength DVDs. Yes she does stare at the camera in a seductive way and can talk as such, but that's just her personality. It's actually quite cute when you think about it...a 50 yr old Woman who looks great and feels sexy and confident about herself! Isn't that something we all strive for no matter what our age is? - posted by Julia on 11/10/2008 |

| EXCELLENT WORKOUT |
| Since my daughter was born, I only have 20 minutes to devote to a workout, and this gets the job done. I love that I can work on toning a different body part each day but work on my abs the whole time. My abs are in the best shape ever, even considering that I had a baby 9 months ago. - posted by Tania on 7/11/2008 |
