Denise Austin's Shrink Your Female Fat Zones

Stretch and Tone and Low Impact
Excellent DVD work outs. Easy to follow and a perfect pace for beginners! Jane Fonda's are also great, but Denise Austin is steller! - posted by Kay on 4/19/2012
LOVE LOVE LOVE it
I have always loved working out with Denise. Been doing it for over 20 years. I have quite a few of her dvd's. I didn't workout however for a couple years and just recently started again. I started out with beginners and took her 21 day challenge. Now I've moved up to the intermediate and find it's just as awesome. I love the way she soothes you by talking to you, encouraging you to "Shrink that middle age spread", and teaches you how to do the moves, as well as what muscle you are actually working and how it will be affected. "You're going to have the best buns". Some people don't like her. I've always liked her and tried doing others' dvd's. But I just don't get out of anyone else what I get out of Denise. I can easily stick to a normal workout routine with her. In fact will only purchase her dvd's from now on. She makes me WANT to workout everyday. I only wish I could personally talk to her to ask her a couple questions. I give this DVD a 10. I love it. - posted by Patricia on 3/15/2012
Review of video
Years back I watch Denise Austin on TV and enjoyed her workouts. Since then I have been doing other walk videos. At 59 I started lifting weights and enjoy working with weights and using the ball. I love this workout. I get an excellent workout and love the tips Denise gives during the workout. She still looks great. I am back with Denise - posted by Diana on 3/31/2011
Denise Does it Again!
It feels like Denise is right in the room with you, encouraging you all the way and always pumping you up. Sometimes its hard to get started but you always are glad you did once you work along with her!! - posted by JoAnne on 1/27/2011
Great workout, and fun, too!
I'm a 55-year old grandma. I've been ordering from Collage since 1988. (Maybe longer; I'm a grandma!) This was a fun challenge, and I knew that I'd had a good work-out. Definitely one that I'll do regularly. - posted by Susan on 8/5/2010
Love it - great workout with the ball
I needed some ideas for how to work out with my balance ball, so I chose this. It's challenging, works the whole body, and takes just 40 minutes! I'm between beginner/intermediate and had no problem with the moves, but appreciate Denise's encouragement throughout. - posted by Anne on 5/20/2010
Great!
This really works those "fat zones!" Quick moving and easy to follow. - posted by Judy on 3/24/2010
I love it
I've had this video for a long time and the book as well. I love it! The critique is that there is about one set (12 reps) per exercise. It's a great ab workout for sure! I love how the second half uses the ball! I use it often. I don't get all sweaty, but my muscles still feel rejuvenated. - posted by Stephanie on 6/15/2009
I Agree with Most Everyone Here -- Nice Workout !
I just got a stability ball and, though I'm intermediate-advanced, decided to try this Denise Austin workout because it features the stability ball. I really enjoyed it! I used heavier weights than Denise did (5 to 15 lbs., depending on the exercise). I think I would have been disappointed if I hadn't modified by going higher in the weights. The nice thing is, I usually despise doing core and ab work, but Denise makes it fun with the stability ball. I didn't feel pushed-to-the limit "worked out" like I do after finishing a Jari Love or Cathe, but this was a no-dread workout that was fun and good for basic everyday maintenance. It's the right length, never got boring, and moved at a good pace (not too slow nor too fast). A keeper in my collection! Good for those days when I don't want to workout, but need to reach for something to maintain fitness. This and Denise Austin's Ultimate Fat Burner are Denise's best workouts, IMO. - posted by Michelle on 2/13/2008
Excellent Moves That Achieve Results
I love the sequence of moves in this video. It has a natural and easy flow. It is brief but effective. I have noticed results in just 4 to 5 workouts. Denise is a champ with her words of encouragement and keeps you motivated to keep going and keep coming back. If you are short on time and have not exercised in a while this video will surely do the trick and you'll be happy with the results. - posted by Lisa on 11/10/2007

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
