What's Denise Austin's secret? She's had two children yet flaunts a slim, tight body and flat abdominals that look like they've never been touched by motherhood. "You can reshape your whole body!" she promises in Bounce Back After Baby, her workout video for getting back into shape after childbearing. The main segment is a 20-minute low-impact, high-energy aerobic workout. Austin exercises with a class of trim women to danceable oldies music such as "Locomotion" and "Rockin' Robin." The aerobic routine is similar to many of Austin's other aerobic tapes: grapevines, lunges, knee lifts, and so on--moves that are dancy without being difficult to learn, repeated often. Toward the end of the aerobic routine, the music may be too fast if you have a large body--take the moves half-time if that's more comfortable. Next a 15-minute toning segment targets the abdominals, hips, thighs, and buttocks with traditional floor-work exercises, no weights. The workout ends with a renewing, peaceful 10 minutes of stretch and relaxation. --Joan Price

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for new moms just starting out with an exercise routine, January 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bounce Back After Baby [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After staying in shape through my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies with Denise's Pregnancy Plus Workout, I tried this video and found it to be too easy and somewhat frustrating. When Denise wasn't making her own mistakes in the routine (typical from what I've seen on some of Denise's other videos) I felt like I wasn't getting much of a workout. During the toning exercises, I even pushed the pause button to get in a few additional reps. The yoga exercises at the end were ok if you're into that kind of thing--I found it completely boring. I did this workout exactly 5 times before putting it on the shelf.

When doing this workout, make sure you have plenty of room for some of the aerobic exercises and get a towel (small bath size will do) for some of the toning exercises.

This is a good tape for new moms who are just starting out with an exercise program. Some of you "old pro's" may want something a little more challenging.

4.0 out of 5 stars It Worked For Me, May 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bounce Back After Baby [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video worked for me! I needed a simple, easy workout because I've never been into exercising before and luckily had a good metabolism. But now that I'm 30 and have 2 kids, exercising has become necessary. I have about 15 workout videos, but I always go back to this one because it's simple and easy, and I like Denise Austin. It feels great to be in shape, and this video will help beginners get on your way to a healthy lifestyle.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT for the seasoned exerciser..., April 7, 1999

I am a new Mom who has exercised regularly and at times quite vigorously over the years - - I found this video to be basically beginner level. The aerobic portion is way too short at 20 minutes, as is the ab and butt toning portion, where there are way too few reps.
