This reissue of the 1987 video previously titled Total Workout presents early Denise Austin clad in a pink unitard (with the midriff cut out) holding a medicine ball and doing repetitive, low-impact aerobics. If you're used to her later videos with beach scenes and many cameras, you'll find this production amateurish. She stands in the corner of a gray-walled exercise room, voice shrill and echoing, doing moves that are laughably old-fashioned. She does endless step-touches, side lunges, knee lifts, and heel jacks in place while pushing, squeezing, and lifting the medicine ball. (Fitness professionals learned long ago that it's more effective to do aerobics without weights and keep the weight work separate, but this video was made before that knowledge became commonplace.) Then she leads some standard floor work. Here the medicine ball is effective to add weight to the thigh and abdominal exercises. Overall, however, you'll be happier and make better progress with a more up-to-date video. --Joan Price

2.0 out of 5 stars Low impct review, August 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Low Impact Aerobics [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is video that I would recommend for someone starting out. I would not suggest this video for intermediates and advance at all. She sounds extra hyper in this video like she shouting at you. This is an older video I happen to like her new ones better. I did not like the music all that match. She does about 20 minutes of aerobics and some toning. She uses a ball in the video, but you don't know that until you use the video. I honestly thought the tape was borning. It wasn't her best. The only time I would use it if you tired and really don't want to workout. I tried it a couple of times and its sits on my shelf

This review is from: Denise Austin - Low Impact Aerobics [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is excellent if you are a beginner. It lasts about 30 minutes and it contains warm up, low impact aerobics and cool down so is a complete and safe workout. I used this video for about 7 months until I felt it was safe to move to harder aerobics. You can still use this workout video when you are in the mood for a light workout, like I do sometimes.
