Only for Beginners!!!!

If you are a person that you never ever went to a gym, or you never followed a aerobic class then this work out is for you. What is this? They walk from one side to the other shaking their hips (not to say anything else) and they call it not just a workout ...BUT A FAT BURNER.... well I'm not 120 kgs I have 7 to 10 kgs to burn MAXIMUM, and I choose this dvd cause i thought i can work from home, and not waste time to the gym, but.... is soooo boring.... Maybe ladies over 50 will find it interesting (and in our days 50years old look better than the 30s), but sorry girls ..... what to say? if you really want to sweat, choose something else. I bought Cindy Crawfords work out, is not a dancing workout, but you really feel your muscles, and you really sweating.... is hard but you see the difference... or maybe jane fonda 80's aerobics are more fan.....
People like this instructor, have to realize, that the reason we get the dvd to work from home is not because we are over 60years old, with 150kgs weight, and we know a bit of exercise..... IS BECAUSE WE WANT TO SAVE TIME!!!
VERY DISAPPOINTED

Ariba!

Bubbly as ever, Denise Austin presents a low intensity workout in three dance segments: Jazz, Latin and Club/Pop. The Jazz segments definitely is the most imaginative of the three, the moves and choreography seemingly more thought out. This first segment is also the most fun of the three. The Latin segment seems like she was struggling to come up with enough basic moves to fill the time allotted. I must say, though, it's amusing to see Austin quietly tossing out 'ariba's here and there. The Club segment is the weakest of the three and is quite repetitive. Each segment can be done independently of the others or they can be done sequentially.

If you are looking for a basic workout to keep you moving and occupied for 30 minutes this one is great. If you want a hardcore aerobic workout this will not be for you. As well, if you prefer your emphasis to be on dance rather than funked up aerobics, this DVD will disappoint. Of the ensemble assisting her through each segment it is clear who the two most natural or trained dancers are, and Austin is not one of them. This is evident in her lack of clear instruction of dance moves, rather than just keeping you moving, and on her need to pop, bounce and be all around bubbly throughout. That said, Austin has tendency to command the routine as she is doing it and not a few steps ahead, as other trainers do. If that type of instruction annoys you will be very frustrated with her style.

All in all it's a fun DVD that will keep you moving. Just don't expect any more from it than that.

Dancer Laura

I love this DVD; as usual Denise is an energetic teacher constantly cuing you on when and how to move. Make sure to view the entire program before practicing since there are numerous dance routines. I highly recommend this DVD.

Denise Austin Fan

If you like a variety of Dance moves, this is the video for you. Although, I must say, it is more advanced. I am not good at dancing, so this one was hard to do on a few of the cardio segments. Not for beginners. I did like the latin cardio the best. Denise is very talented and has a video library for all levels of fitness.. Check out other videos.. Her workouts really work.. You do get results fast.

Denise Austin

I always enjoy Denise's exercise videos as her routines are always easy to follow. This is not an advanced aerobics video, however, and I didn't get my heart rate way up there. It was challenging in that I need to work on balance and things of that nature and she included some exercises in that genre. I'll probably only use it on a day when I don't need to grind it out, tho.
