5.0 out of 5 stars 7 Targeted Workouts, December 28, 2005
If you only have 10-minutes to workout or you want to add a Pilates routine after walking or a cardio session, this Denise Austin DVD gives you 7 10-minute target workouts or you can select specific workouts and play them all at once. You can also choose to exercise for 30 minutes, either focusing on the Abs and Waist Line or Lower Body. There is also a 15-minute Pilates Challenge.

The intermediate pace makes this an invigorating workout routine and Denise's "double the workout in half the time" exercise are unique and creative. While this is mostly Pilates, there are a few Yoga poses. Denise Austin also takes familiar exercises and combines them or increases the challenge.

I am finding this DVD to be most useful as a customizable routine. This allows for more variety and that makes exercising more fun. The new Denise Austin DVDs are encouraging, vibrant and very enjoyable. The outdoor settings are healing and the exercises are creative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Denise Austin Pilates, January 25, 2006
Chances are you have heard the word "Pilates." If you don't know much about Pilates, the best way I can explain it is that it seems like a form of yoga mixed with body stretching and bending. Pilates is a total body work out.

Whether you are just getting started with Pilates or consider yourself an expert, Denise Austin-Hit The Spot Pilates is a very effective home Pilates exercise routine. The dvd includes two segments.

The Abs and Waist Line
This segment consists of three 10 minute work out routines. These techniques will help you define your abs, trim your waist and improve your posture.

The Lower Body: Hips, Thighs and Buttocks
This segment includes three 10 minute workouts, each zeroing in on each body section.

Overall, Pilates is a form of working out using your body. You don't need a lot of extra equipment. Despite appearing somewhat easy, if you have any physical problems you should probably check with your doctor before beginning a Pilates program. Several of the work outs include a lot of bending, stretching and squatting, so if you have bad knees be careful. Denise Austin Hit The Spot Pilates is a great way to start a Pilates workout program in the comfort of your home. This was my very first time doing a Pilates workout and I felt like this work out was very easy to understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Denise's Most Challenging Workout, October 2, 2005
By soylatte (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
Denise has tweaked the Pilates moves on this workout for the ultimate challenge to the deepest muscles in your core and lower body. During certain excruciating parts, I actually have to stop and recover before I can resume. But Denise keeps encouraging and motivating throughout, so I happily keep going. As a plus, the tropical setting is the loveliest I've ever seen on an exercise program and the music is pleasant-yet-lively.

Since this workout mainly emphasizes the core and lower body, I like to do it in between days where I do one of Denise's dvds that work out the upper body. The 7 chapters (3 levels of intensity for the abs, 3 for the legs/hips, and one full body challenge) can be arranged to play by the viewer's preference. I start with the 15-minute Pilates challenge (which really gets me going), followed by one 10-minute leg chapter and one 10-minute ab chapter. By arranging it this way, the dvd offers three different 35-minute workouts. It's a similar set-up to Denise's Personal Training dvd.

I saw Denise promoting this dvd and her new nutrition book on Larry King. She is a very articulate and intelligent person, and her sweet, bubbly enthusiasm seems to be completely sincere. Her workouts have really improved the quality of my life, and I plan on picking up her new book too.
