I highly recommend this video to anyone who wants a great fun workout in which you will see results within a few weeks. I exercise 4 to 5 times a week and thought I was in decent shape. After trying this video, Denise found muscles I did not know I had. The next day I could definitely tell I had worked out. This is a definite must-have video!

What a great workout. I lost around 15lbs thanks to this video. It keeps the heart rate and interest going. I have tried several workouts and this one has been the best. Denise keeps you motivated and wanting to do more. The music is upbeat and the moves are not boring. I thoroughly enjoy this tape and use it religously. I definetly reccommend this to anyone wanting to change their fitness, wanting to loose weight, and for wanting a little motivation. Thanks Denise!!

I usually can't stomach exercise videos, but I love Denise Austin. She isn't some bouncy 18-year-old; she is a mother in her 40s with a terrific body. I own about ten of her videos, and Sizzler is my favorite. Not only will you get a fabulous cardio workout, you get an arm, chest and back workout with weights; exercises specifically geared towards legs; as well as a wonderfully tough course for the abs. Denise is the best and this is her best video.

I've used many of Denise's workout tapes, but this one is by far the best! She says that if you stick with it, you'll see results in 6 weeks, but I saw (and felt) the results after just a few workouts. The moves aren't too hard to follow and the target/weight training sessions provide a nice break between aerobic segments. I know some people think that she talks too much, but her motivational comments always keep me moving. It also helps that she's a "real" woman (wife, mom with 2 kids, in her 40's) and not some teenie bopper who's never seen a fat cell in her life. I would highly recommend this video to anyone who wants to lose weight and tone up that body!

I had been going to the gym a few times a week and doing crunches on my own, but whoa! The next day after I did this video I could feel it in my abs...for the Whole Day! Great Tape.

I have her other video Totally Firm, but I like this one better.

Sizzler will work your body hard, without killing you, or making you want to give up. Denise does a super job of mixing aerobics, toning, and easy to follow dance steps. It's worth it!

I am a 19 year old college student who in my freshmen year found those 15lbs everyone talks about. I have many of Denise Austin videos which have lead to my success of deleteing the freshmen 15. This video however is my favorite workout video. I bought in a set with Hit the Spot Thighs and Hit the Spot Abs. It's all I do and I'm in better shape now,then when I played sports in highschool. Trust me when I say if you're looking to lose weight get this video use it three times a week (atleast) and you'll see results. DOn't forget, it helps to cut back on the sweets.

I like this workout. I first tried this video after having been going to an aerobic class 3-5 times a week for 8 weeks. Boy did my quads hurt the next day! This video gets your heart pumping, the sweat flowing and the breathing gets heavy. Most of the moves are fairly easy, but some are challenging. The video flows well with a warm-up, intense middle, and a relaxing cool down. Denise Austin has a lot of enthusiasm, but she doesn't get on your nerves like some instructors. I find myself checking my posture when she tells me too, and even pat myself on the back when she suggests it. But she does come off a little kooky sometimes. A couple of times she stumbles over words or isn't with the music. But that makes her more endearing; she's not perfect, so that makes you like her more. My problem with the video is the audio quality. The music could be louder and there tends to be some strange thumping noises.

This video is very challenging. The workout is long and somewhat strenuous, but it's a good step up from her TV workout show. The scenery is nice in the video, and as always, Denise has such a great attitude! It would have been nice if she would have devoted a little more time to toning exercises. It feels like you do a ton of aerobics and weight exercises, and then at the end she squeezes in some toning moves. Also, the music is sooooo old and boring. The music she plays on her TV workout shows is better than that! ("It's Raining Men" and "She Works Hard for the Money"? ) Other than that, this video is worthwhile.

I think this is one of her best tapes yet. I've only been doing it for 10 weeks now and have already dropped 2 clothing sizes! She is very motivating and makes you want to keep it up all the way to the very end.
