Although this workout is useful, I had already owned the exact same tape under the title, Fit and Fabulous At Any Age. When I saw the Anti-Aging Cardio workout video, I naturally assumed I had never seen it, thought it might be good and ordered it online. To my surprise, I opened the tape (which I was told once opened cannot be returned!) to find the same video under the Fit and Fabulous title. That the tape was duplicated under a different title was very misleading, and to be told that once opened, a tape cannot be returned, is deceiving, since I obviously had to open the tape to view it. I've heard this has happened before with workout tapes, and since I use workout tapes as the major part of my workouts, perhaps it should be noted that some tapes are copies under a new title/cover.

I have used many of Denise's video and they are all excellent. I workout aerobically 5-6 times a week and jog over a mile each day and I still found this video a challenge. It was wonderful. It incorporated excellent stretches, a wonderful upbeat workout, toning exercises, and stress relieving yoga. I felt great afterwards. This is an excellent video if you are looking for something that has it all.

I checked out this video at my local library just to try it...and I love it! Honestly, as a beginner I can't do all the moves right now. But the music is so upbeat and the moves fairly easy and fun that you just keep going. The toning and streching segments are great too. It gets my heart pumping and I know I'm boosting my metabolism.

You will get a complete workout from this video. Denise is her usual happy, inspiring self. The music is a bit dated, but if you grew up in the 70s like I did, you will enjoy it. Also, the moves are quite repetitive, and, again, dated, which is why I gave it 4 stars. All in all, this is a good workout for the beginner/intermediate level. I am just starting to get back into shape and I was sore the next day, knowing that every important muscle in my body had been exercised.

This was my first Denise Austin video and I love it. I can only make it to the gym once a week and this keeps me going on the other days. It is not boring and before you know it you've completed 45 minutes of a fun yet challenging workout. I have been doing it about 4 times a week for a month and already notice a big difference. Can't wait to try her other videos.

This workout video was okay. I will continue to use it every once in a while for variety since I bought it. It can be fun and it does give you a workout, but I wouldn't say that I was worn out by the time the dancing was over. The toning and ab segments afterwards are much better than the cardio. I enjoy the music, but each song goes on too long by repeating the chorus line over and over, so that is a bit aggravating. But, if you don't mind that, the tape is pretty good.

This is wonderful workout! There are three different workouts. There is also a wonderful 15 minute toning segment at the end of the workout. You'll love it!

This is the first time I am leaving a review. This was the
WORST video I have ever received. There was no dancing just
Denise Austin (give me an insulin shot please) in her sugary
voice doing aerobics. No dance at all. I have a bad back
and wanted so much to do a dance video. Then in the middle
she goes into strength training. I'm sure she copied one of
her older videos and just changed the name. Do not waste your
money on this one - it really sucks.

I wouldn't recommend it for intermediate to advanced. I did it twice and got bored with the overall fitness level. It is a very fun video but just not enough "OOMPH"! I did enjoy the stretching and "plank" position at the end of the tape though.

This video is PERFECT for 40-somethings like me who have not worked out in a while. The music is fun, the steps are easy and although Denise is uberperky, she is motivating! I do the whole tape, including the stretch/cooldown section at the end, and I feel great! Also, I have seen MARKED RESULTS on the scale b/c of this tape. (I combined it w/ the no-flour, no-sugar diet and lost 24 lbs.)
The only thing is, once I begin to get thru this video easily and the scale results begin to level off, I will hafta go to another, more challenging tape, like Denise's boot camp or fat blaster offerings.
So if your are older and overweight, give this tape a try!
