Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Denise Austin usually drives me nuts. I can't handle the whole perky aerobics instructor thing. However, I took the plunge because I was drawn to the different styles of cardio offered on this DVD and because a lot of reviewers said Denise really toned it down in this one. Turns out, Denise really DID tone it down. She's friendly, low-key, and very pleasant in this. The different cardio sections are very fun, especially the Retro aerobics. I don't know why I got such a kick out of this one, but it just flowed smoothly with fun moves. The kickboxing was good, though a little fast moving if you've never done these moves before. In the interval section, there is a lot of jumping in the last few minutes so make sure to wear a good sports bra! I couldn't get through the dance cardio, honestly. But that's no fault of Denise and I knew when I bought the DVD that I probably wouldn't like it. Dancey cardio is not my thing; I'm too clumsy. But, since the DVD is chaptered so beautifully, I don't have to do it!
As far as intensity goes, don't expect an over the top sweat fest. You get out what you put into it, of course, but I wouldn't recommend this to people who are in good shape. You'll probably be bored. I'm not in great shape, but not just starting out either and I got up a decent sweat. It would be a great workout to wear weighted gloves for an extra kick.
The only real negative to this DVD besides the mediocre intensity is that Denise's cueing is horrible. She mostly tries to cue as she goes (which I don't like...I need them to cue ahead) but a lot of times she's on to the next move before saying anything. Even her back up exercisers stumble a bit several times. But, since the moves are simple for the most part I didn't have too much trouble my first time through the DVD. And successive sessions were pretty much stumble free.
I would definitely recommend this to people who are trying to get into shape or for people who want a light cardio session for "off" days.
