Summary: MUCH more than I expected from a DVD!
Comment: First things first: I'm in good shape. I run about 5 days a week (4-5 miles) and do strength training. This DVD kicked my butt the first time I did it, partly because I wasn't expecting such a good workout! It's a GREAT lower body workout. Expect a LOT of squats! It also does a good job working your core, and of course, it's great cardio. It doesn't, however, offer much for the upper body. You'll have to do that seperately. It's not an easy video, but it's not boring, either. Great for rainy days that you don't want to turn into off days, and it beats the treadmill!

Summary: Boot Camp Survivor
Comment: A good fast paced work out...there is a lot of bouncing and sometimes due to a knee injury I have to modify some of the moves, but overall I really like it. I have several of Denise Austin's DVD's, and this is probably the toughest one I have of hers. I would recommend it to someone looking to step up their work outs...I'd say it is moderate to high...

Summary: Are you serious???
Comment: Wow! This is possibly the worst workout dvd I've seen! Now, I was not familiar with Denise Austin prior to buying this dvd, if I would have heard her voice before buying this then I would have steered clear!!!
Not only is Denise incredibly annoying with her CONSTANT chattering of "Alright, let's go, you're doing great, we're working out, we're getting fit, we're looking lean, to the right, now lift... blah blah blah blah!!!!!" Are you serious!!!??? And why is voice raspy like she's trying to sound like a 900 operator? I couldn't finish 10 minutes! Not because it was too hard, not at all, infact if it would have been a good workout then I might have suffered through Denise for the benefit, but the workout was boring, unchallenging, and repeticious!!! Awful waste of money!

Summary: Good cardio, weak strength workout.
Comment: Workout was ok- I was looking for a good cardio & stength mix, but feel this workout was definitely more cardio. Transitions between exercises were rushed and confusing and Denise's cues were very sloppy. Strength exercises were very fast and I found myself going at my own pace so I did not compromise proper form. Denise is a little annoying and far from a "Drill Sergeant" and I would probably put the tv on mute if I ever use this DVD again.

Summary: Burns fat
Comment: I really liked this workout for maximum fat burning. It did make me sweat. I was working much harder than I thought I was because I actually felt more toned the next day. I don't care for aerobics and I don't like fitness routines that have you jumping around. This had a little of this, but it wasn't bad and you could always replace it with a modified exercise. I recommend it, but it is intermediate, not for beginners.
