This is the video to get you started on your quest for healthy living! I have done this workout consistently for ten weeks and let me assure you, you will notice a difference. If you hate aerobics, this is the workout for you! Denise begins with all over body warm up and then progresses to upper body toning. Believe me, you will feel these exercises. Waist exercies, abdominals, lower body toning, etc. it's all covered. You can tell this is a video from the 80's, but who cares when you're toning up. Of all the workout videos I own, this is the one I have been able to stick with! Give it a try!

I wore out my first copy of this tape and am buying another--it's one of the best toning videos I've done. The hip and thigh work is fabulous, better than Denise's "Totally Firm" tape and anyone else's. You can do this tape in your bare feet (hardly any leg movement), without weights, and in a tiny space, too. I saw results within a few weeks--amazing! On the downside, the music is simply awful and there's nothing fancy to get excited about (rather dull, frankly), but as Denise says, "These work!" And they do. I especially recommend this video to people who never tried toning before, since it's so easy to follow. Yet I've been alternating it with weight-lifting tapes for 10 years now, and it's still the all-around best!

This video is very simple to follow. The exercises require little coordination and any beginner can start a workout regime with this video. I loved it. I am uncoordinated and not athletic, yet I felt comfortable following the tape. Try it, it's easy and you can feel the results!!!!

I had bought a Denise Toning video a long time ago. It got ruined in my VCR. It was my favorite tape. I could not find it anywhere. I needed a new toning video and came across this one. And it turns out that it is the same tape I ruined but it had a different name and picture. I am so glad to have gotten this back. It is easy to do and it targets every part of your body. It is a non aerobic video. I combine this with Walking Aerobics from Leslie Sansome and Tae Bo.

Okay, so you are blinded by big hair and too much eyeliner in this 1988 video, BUT, in the years before step aerobics, spinning and the popularity of kickboxing, THIS was and IS still the ticket! It's easy to follow, goes quickly, and allows you to use your own resistence to build and tone muscle and loose inches. Don't let it decieve you, however, like it did me. After I completed it for the first time, I walked away unphased. The next morning, however, it BURNED where it counts! Today, if I don't keep moving at work, I stiffen up! I'm sure as you progress with this tape, a few handweights and ankle weights wouldn't hurt; it's a tape to grow with. Personally, I like Denise Austin. She's easy to follow and gives very good instruction on posture, etc. My back didn't hurt like it usually does after working out. By constantly reminding you to "bend your knees", you don't feel "overextended". A GREAT video to follow in the limited space of an apartment, furniture-cluttered room, etc!

Denise does a great job with this video--I started out with Denise's Beginner's Aerobic Video and have progressed to the Target Toner. It's a tough workout but start out at your own pace and you will be able to do it and see results.

With life getting more and more hectic all the time, this is one of the only half hour segments of your day where everything works out the way it should-and so do you. This video has a streching warm up & cool down, a very light touch of aerobics, and toning for every single area in an easy, fun and energizing way. All her assistants are cheerful & attractive (I don't mind that 80's look)and make you feel like you're working out with your best friends.
The best part is you see a difference in only two weeks! This is my first Denise video, and after trying other peoples workouts, hers are the only ones I'm going use.

This tape is about as low-key as they come. I just completed it for the first time and didn't even break a sweat and I'm not a workout guru. This is VERY low impact target toning. The arm exercises were surprisingly good despite the lack of weights. The hip toning exercises were a killer for someone who hasn't worked them much...but I can tell they'll get results. The rest was plain old easy to do. Overall, it's a nice tape to work into other tapes, but definitely won't do it by itself. I prefer her Totally Firm tape to this one. But would come back to this one for the hip toning exercises.

I had lost this Videotape and was so saddened by, this Video is great for toning the body! even though it is an Old Video and has cheesy music and from the 80'S, It is the Best at Toning the Body without all those jumping moves, I LOVE IT! I hope that they put it on DVD Really soon! I saw great Results using this Video! My Buns was Awesome!!!!

We loved our video tape & it quit working & we were thrilled to find it through Amazon.
