5.0 out of 5 stars Boost your weight loss September 11, 2011

By Peter Tsang TOP 500 REVIEWER

I did the "Sculpt & Burn Body Blitz" for the first time today and it did make my body break a light to medium sweat. I was a little sore about 5 hours later.

The DVD has the warm up, the cool down, and four individual and self-contained ten minute workouts. I did all six parts from begining to end, and I thought it was good. You have the option of doing any one workout or all four or any combination, with or without the warm up and cool down. It also has the option for instruction or music only. There's also a 30 day recommendation for anyone who needs guidance on what workout to do and what days to do it on.

Here's the breakdown.

Warm up (5 minutes): This has a few unusual moves which I have never seen before this video. I enjoyed it.

Mixed Martial Arts (10 minutes): I found this workout and the Athletic Conditioning workout a little challenging, and for both, I had to modify some moves. Both aerobic workouts moved your body along.

Athletic Conditioning (10 minutes): Please see the martial arts workout for info.

Kettlebell-Inspired (10 minutes): Don't worry. You don't need a kettlebell for this one. Denise Austin and the other co-exercisers use one light dumbbell. The extra light weight boosts the calorie burn and intensity. The movements were practically non-stop, but with only one light weight, one can do it. I liked this one.

Cardio Sculpt (10 minutes): This one uses two light weight dumbbells. But again, the weight is light, with the same purpose: boosting calorie burn. I liked this one too.

Cool down (5 minutes): Some stretches are a little difficult, but you do what's comfortable or what you can.

Finally, Ms. Austin has two male and two female demonstrators, so this is intended for both men and women. Ms. Austin is chatty, instructive, and encouraging. I recommend this video.

5.0 out of 5 stars great workouts October 1, 2011

By C. Miller

I really like this video because the 10 minute segments are total body workouts. Most videos I have found that have 10 minute segments just focus on one section of the body at a time, like upper body, lower body, or abs. There are moves that I have not seen in other workout videos before. There are 4 total 10 minute segments with a separate warm up and cool down, as another reviewer stated. I would say this would be good for someone who has had some other workout video experience, as she doesn't spend time on exercise form since the segments are only 10 minutes. A lot of the moves are compound moves, like squats with shoulder presses, bridge with chest press, or lunges with side twists. The moves are easy to learn, and there aren't any dance moves. Overall, I like this better than a lot of the other videos I've used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Denise has done it again! September 12, 2011

I tried this DVD for the first time today and I really like it. The warm up is perfect with light stretches and movement to get the body warmed up. The exercise routines are perfect for getting in quick work outs for those who are busy, and who isn't busy nowadays? Denise is supportive and encouraging. The moves are easy enough to learn, with some new stuff thrown in, but nothing that will cause serious injuries. I have been a Denise Austin fan for years, and this new DVD proves that she still has what it takes to compete with all the new videos out there.
