Similar in format to Denise Austin Shortcuts: Arms & Shoulders except without weights, Denise Austin Shortcuts: Legs includes three progressive workouts for the lower body. The first level is 10 minutes long and teaches basic exercises for strengthening the legs, thighs, and buttocks using body weight only, done barefoot. Austin explains what muscles are working and how to do the exercises correctly. Most exercises are basic, traditional floor work, but some exercises involve balance, such as the standing side leg lifts. The second workout also lasts 10 minutes, but it includes more difficult exercises, including ballet and balance moves (you get to hold onto a chair). And the third level is a 15-minute "lower-body blast" that features rapidly changing athletic and balletic moves, still using body weight, but this time participants have to balance without the help of the chair while doing one-legged squats, moving front and back lunges with knee lifts in between, and wide-legged squats sliding into knee lifts. If you have Denise Austin Shortcuts: Arms & Shoulders and were expecting lower-body exercises with weights, you might be disappointed, but these exercises are still effective, especially the standing moves. --Joan Price

4.0 out of 5 stars Shortcuts - Legs & Buns Gets Results, July 2, 2001

By A Customer

This video is well worth the price. The video is actaully three separate 10 minute workouts with advancing difficulty. Denise recommends starting with the first workout for a couple of weeks before moving on. More advanced individuals may want to do more than one workout at a time. Each workout has a short warm-up as well as stretching for cool down. I found the instructions easy to follow and the exercises are definately challenging and target the area promised. For ten minutes a day you can't lose!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners, January 16, 2002

By	"hkleczew" (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

I loved this videos for the first six weeks after I purchased it. I saw a very visible change in fat deposition, muscle contours, and definition. Unfortunately, after about 6 weeks the video became too easy. The video is still really great for a quick workout if I don't have time to do one of my other videos, but I don't rely on it for a complete workout.
