Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated) Binding: DVD EAN: 0012236163923 Format: Closed-captioned, Color, DVD-Video, NTSC Label: Lions Gate Languages: Manufacturer: Lions Gate MPN: D16392D Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Lions Gate Region Code: 1 Release Date: September 07, 2004 Running Time: 120 minutes Studio: Lions Gate Theatrical Release Date: 2004 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Veteran fitness expert Denise Austin's Personal Training System is one of several exercise programs designed to take advantage of a valuable feature of the DVD format: namely, the ability for viewers to customize their own workouts by picking and choosing from various elements presented in Austin's prescribed routines. These include sections devoted to cardio (available at low and high intensity levels, both about 20 minutes long), upper and lower body exercises (offered at low, medium, and high intensity, each about ten minutes long), and abdominal and stretching segments (the same for all levels, these also last about ten minutes). Meanwhile, the "custom workout" option enables users to combine any or all of these elements according to taste and fitness level. There's nothing especially innovative here--indeed, the cardio sections are pretty much old school, Jane Fonda Workout-style aerobics, while the upper and lower body sections include light weights, bends, lunges, push-ups and other tried-and-true elements--but those looking for a thorough, sweat-inducing regimen will certainly find it here. Austin's relentlessly effervescent style will no doubt prove inspiring to some and cloying to others. On the other hand, the entire program can be done without her audio instructions, and those who simply don't want to work out at all can occupy themselves with an accompanying booklet filled with diet pointers and recipes. --Sam Graham Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Exercise!I purchased three Denise Austin workout DVD's at one time. Why? Denise Austin is in her 50's, has always stayed fit, and is such an encourager to be healthy and exercise for your life! This DVD is great, harder than I thought it would be, but a great workout. I would also suggest reading Denise's book "Fit and Fabulous After 40"; it is an awesome book full of great information, and certainly applicable to aging and weight loss. Denise is the same throughout all her videos, she gently pushes to ... Read More Rating:  - Alot for your moneyThere are 3 workouts, beg., int. adv. and you can mix and match. I'm an intermediate, I do the Firm and Prevention. I find that you can do much of the advanced on this, so definitely give it a try. I really love the abs on this. I really feel it and its a fairly long segment. She gets the upper abs and the lower abs. I like the upper body weights too. The cardio is good, nothing exceptional. Rating: - A FAVORITE DENISE AUSTIN WORKOUT DVDI'VE BEEN WORKING OUT WITH DENISE EVER SINCE SHE WAS ON THE ESPN CHANNEL A LONG TIME AGO, AND YOU EITHER LOVE HER PERSONALITY OR YOU DON'T. SHE'S MOTIVATING AND ENCOURAGING....AND THAT'S WHY I LIKE HER WORKOUTS. THIS DVD IS A FAVORITE BECAUSE YOU CAN SELECT THE WORKOUT SEGMENT AND INTENSITY. ONE DAY I MAY ONLY WANT TO DO THE LOW INTENSITY AEROBICS WITH ABS, THEN I MAY WANT TO CONCENTRATE ON HIGH INTENSITY AEROBICS WITH UPPER BODY THE NEXT DAY. IT'S YOUR CHOICE. NO MATTER WHAT THE INTENSITY OR THE WORKOUTS ... Read More Rating:  - Maybe for beginners?Tacky as she may be, I love Denise Austin. I love her enthusiasm, and I think she provides great products. The enthusiasm is still there on this DVD, but in my opinion, the workout itself doesn't deliver. Even the advanced levels are quite easy. I wouldn't even call the cardio segment a workout at all, it's incredibly easy. I'm used to getting a challenging workout from Denise, and this is not it. Maybe this would work for beginners, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a decent workout. Rating: - Exercise with Denise AustinThis is a great exercise routine to do with Denise Austin. I liked it so much that I not only share it with a friend (leaving it at her house), but I got myself another copy to take with me to Shanghai, China where I am visiting my husband. While he is at work I do my exercises with Denise. |
