I started my workout video library with this tape seven years ago and had to quit using it this past spring because the tape wore out. I could not find another copy in the stores and was thrilled to find it at amazon.com. It is the perfect workout on the days that I can't make it to the gym. I work out three to four days a week, and this video always makes me sweat. The moves and rhythms are easy and every muscle is worked. Highly, highly recommended.

This is a great workout for a busy mom. It is 30 minutes long and it works up a good sweat. It also tones arms, legs, and waist. I would recommend it, especially for beginners who want a good workout in 30 minutes.

I was looking for a tape that was strictly cardio with no fancy complicated steps. This tape is great, I worked up a sweat in no time. I was enjoying it so much, I couldn't believe when the 30 minutes was over.

This is the best Denise tape I've tried. I wanted a strait cardio workout without grapevines, salsas and more complicated steps that frustrate me (I WILL give up). The steps are easy to follow, have a nice build up and slow down, and get your heart rate up without over doing it. As this is my 10th Denise tape, I have seen some of these moves before but this is the first time I've seen upper and lower body toning combined with aerobics simultaneously, so you there's nothing missing! If you want something simple, fun and that saves some time, this will keep you motivated!

After being very ill from an auto-immunity illness, I was looking for something to ease me back into exercising. (My high intensity step tapes were too demanding.) I checked this out of the public library and was pleased with the progress I made while using it. Although my fitness level has increased, I find there are still days where this is just enough. If you're looking to prepare yourself for a marathon, this won't be enough for you... but if you want to add a non-threatening cardio video to your collection, consider this. You can usually find it reasonably priced.

Well I dont know what the other person was talking about when they said it was too easy. i started going to the gym a month ago, and when I tried to do this video today I couldn't finish it. I must be a very very beginner ;D If you want to look cool doing a workout - I'd suggest an MTV funk workout but if you want a damn good workout, do this. However I gave it a high rating because it really works you out and focuses on all your muscles. I'm completely uncoordinated, but I found the steps easy to follow and I can't wait to try this video again when my lung fitness is a bit better. I highly recommend it if you want a good no fuss workout (and can stand denise's over-chirpiness which is kind of endearing anyway:)

A few of the steps are a little hard to follow at first, but It does a good job in short workout! Very encouraging!

This video is wonderful. I have used many of Denise's videos and this one is of no less quality than her other fine videos. It is absolutely perfect for a beginner or an "experienced aerobincs exerciser". The moves are simple and easy to follow but in the meantime they really challenge your muscles and increase your heart rate. This is a must have in a collection of exercise videos.

This tape may be a bit dated, but it is infinitely adjustable to your needs. Too basic? Add wrist and ankle weights, and you'll break a sweat anyway. Recovering from a back injury? The moves are simple enough that you can only stretch/lift/lunge as far as you feel comfortable and still get a reasonable workout.

This was my first Denise Austin workout tape since leaving college. I only worked out for the results in the shortest amount of time possible. Twenty years ago I wanted to eat what I wanted to eat and not have to worry about gaining weight, at 5 1/2 feet, this workout kept me between 115 and 120 size six. It was always about muscle tone for me. I have several other Denise Austin DVD's now, including the pregnancy workout and her boot camp workouts (I currently use the boot camp workouts, there are two 20 minute boot camps, one cardio, one muscle training and a ten minute stretch). I have tried other workout dvd's, but none gave me the results and the timeframe I needed. I love Denise's workouts because they truly work. I've always worked out, but once I get off track, I end up with gaps of 2 to 8 (eight is the longest and hopefully that won't happen again) month intervals. I'm a nutrition major so keeping fit is important to my lifestyle (kind of like the obese doctor telling you to lose weight). Trust me, Denise may take some getting use to, but do this workout for two weeks at least 4x a week and you will see results. It's not a strenuous workout (it may be for beginners) and you may think it is not working, but when you start to see the development in your muscles (not to mention the comments of "what gym do you go to?") you will be thankful you stuck it out. And, when you've used it as long as I had, you'll be able to repeat Denise word for word, making the workout even more fun or comical. My only regret is that she didn't redo it in a DVD, I can no longer use my VHS version and I have yet to find anything equal to this workout. If you want to shed pounds, tighten up your calfs, thighs, buttocks, I hate stomach exercises but those too and get your cardio in, this is a great pick.
