5.0 out of 5 stars Actually pretty good :-o, December 14, 2006

This review is from: Denise Austin: Fat Burning Dance Mix (DVD)

I'm not always a fan of Denise Austin; - not because she's not a good instructor (because she's a pretty good instructor), but because she is way too over the top with extra cheesey enthusiasm and she can be too in your face. Not this time however. Sure she is still enthusiastic (I guess you need some personality), but this is better than usuall and it's a great and easy (yet effective) workout.
She also is an instructor that isn't always in sync with the beat of the music, which can be frustrating, but not so much this time. It's a great dvd with four different types of cardio work. You can do them in any order (the dvd lets you programm how you want to do it), and there is ballet toning, Latin, jazz and club funky aerobics. It's nice to have a variation going. In each segment, you start of simply and then slowly add on moves to make a longer combo. Then there is a toning segment that is easy to follow and uses usual kind of moves like crunches, planks and plies etc.
I like this. It's good for days when you want a bit of a lighter workout and if you are a beginner or intermediate. If you are advanced you won't find this enough, but like me, it's good for the days where you can't be bothered with a tough routine. I really enjoy it and if you are normally put off by Denise like I sometimes am, then don't worry, she is less overpowering here, but does an excellent job and you'll have fun with it I'm sure.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the unmotivated and lethargic: there's good news, February 16, 2007

This review is from: Denise Austin: Fat Burning Dance Mix (DVD)

To put it simply, I have a hard time getting motivated to do...anything. I'm usually down in the dumps about something or other and that makes me lethargic. Most of the time, I don't want to get motivated to do anything. If you're like me, you will LOVE this workout. It is not difficult to follow. Denise Austin's dance moves are very well-explained and she is extremely understanding and compassionate. The dance moves are really fun. I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to "dance," but they're more graceful moves than dance moves, which I really appreciate because I find that whole monotonous movement thing in exercise really....BORING. There is nothing monotonous or boring about these dance moves. She makes it really fun and exciting. The music pumps you up and makes you want to move. I'm actually excited to exercise which is a first for me. What I love about the dance programs is that they are short 10-minute bursts. Each 10 min. segment is a different theme--latin, club funk, jazz, ballet etc. I was also afraid that I wouldn't like certain genres, but I did! Becuase they are short and sweet, it keeps things interesting for you. Also, you can customize the order of the programs.
I would recommend this to anyone...it honestly does NOT matter what age you are. I'm a complete weakling when it comes to exercise and I found these exercises to be energizing and effective...and not difficult at all!
The only segment that is a little challenging is the ballet section because she has you doing push ups for a very short period of time. I can't do push ups. So, I just skip that part. :) But the rest of the ballet program is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Fun Dance Workout, February 6, 2007

This review is from: Denise Austin: Fat Burning Dance Mix (DVD)

I love this DVD!!! Its a very fun workout that really gets me sweating. I love that I can customize my workout before I start. I've been doing this DVD for a couple weeks and haven't gotten sick of it yet. I purchased 4 DVD's and this is my favorite. The moves are fun and as you get more familiar/comfortable with the routine you can add your own style and flair.

Denise's miscuing didn't bother me at first (actually I didn't really notice), but I have the more I do the DVD. Even so, this is still my favorite DVD.

If you are looking for a workout that will get you dancing and sweating, this is the one for you. I especially like that the routines (10 min each) move quickly to keep your heart rate up. I hate when the steps are broken down too much and too slow - its not a workout then. This workout is great!!!
