Only for Beginners!!!! 
2008-07-08
If you are a person that you never ever went to a gym, or you never followed a aerobic class then this work out is for you. What is this? They walk from one side to the other shaking their hips (not to say anything else) and they call it not just a workout ...BUT A FAT BURNER.... well I'm not 120 kgs I have 7 to 10 kgs to burn MAXIMUM, and I choose this dvd cause i thought i can work from home, and not waste time to the gym, but.... is soooo boring.... Maybe ladies over 50 will find it interesting (and in our days 50years old look better than the 30s), but sorry girls ..... what to say? if you really want to sweat, choose something else. I bought Cindy Crawfords work out, is not a dancing workout, but you really feel your muscles, and you really sweating.... is hard but you see the difference... or maybe jane fonda 80's aerobics are more fan.....
People like this instructor, have to realize, that the reason we get the dvd to work from home is not because we are over 60years old, with 150kgs weight, and we know a bit of exercise..... IS BECAUSE WE WANT TO SAVE TIME!!!
VERY DISAPPOINTED
Ariba! 
2008-06-27
Bubbly as ever, Denise Austin presents a low intensity workout in three dance segments: Jazz, Latin and Club/Pop. The Jazz segments definitely is the most imaginative of the three, the moves and choreography seemingly more thought out. This first segment is also the most fun of the three. The Latin segment seems like she was struggling to come up with enough basic moves to fill the time allotted. I must say, though, it's amusing to see Austin quietly tossing out 'ariba's here and there. The Club segment is the weakest of the three and is quite repetitive. Each segment can be done independently of the others or they can be done sequentially.
If you are looking for a basic workout to keep you moving and occupied for 30 minutes this one is great. If you want a hardcore aerobic workout this will not be for you. As well, if you prefer your emphasis to be on dance rather than funked up aerobics, this DVD will disappoint. Of the ensemble assisting her through each segment it is clear who the two most natural or trained dancers are, and Austin is not one of them. This is evident in her lack of clear instruction of dance moves, rather than just keeping you moving, and on her need to pop, bounce and be all around bubbly throughout. That said, Austin has tendency to command the routine as she is doing it and not a few steps ahead, as other trainers do. If that type of instruction annoys you will be very frustrated with her style.
All in all it's a fun DVD that will keep you moving. Just don't expect any more from it than that.

I love this DVD; as usual Denise is an energetic teacher constantly cuing you on when and how to move. Make sure to view the entire program before practicing since there are numerous dance routines. I highly recommend this DVD.

If you like a variety of Dance moves, this is the video for you. Although, I must say, it is more advanced. I am not good at dancing, so this one was hard to do on a few of the cardio segments. Not for beginners. I did like the latin cardio the best. Denise is very talented and has a video library for all levels of fitness.. Check out other videos.. Her workouts really work.. You do get results fast.

I always enjoy Denise's exercise videos as her routines are always easy to follow. This is not an advanced aerobics video, however, and I didn't get my heart rate way up there. It was challenging in that I need to work on balance and things of that nature and she included some exercises in that genre. I'll probably only use it on a day when I don't need to grind it out, tho.

Great workout and you have fun doing it 2008-03-02
I've heard of Denise's name through other people, so I thought I'd give her a chance. I was not disappointed. She does a great job instructing you and getting you motivated. This video has 3 different styles of dance. The jazz portion is fine, but not my favorite - and that's only because I have so much more fun on the urban dance and latin segments.
This is a good video because you don't really feel like you're exercising - you're just learning dance routines. But the next thing you know, sweat is pouring down your face! Good stuff and a fun time.
too light 2008-02-19
I actually ordered two of these dvds and neither one of them plays smoothly. Don't misunderstand the dvd plays and the picture is fine but, the disc is light and there is a continuous noise in the background that I couldn't ignore. I returned both and Amazon was very quick with a refund.
Great fun but not a hard workout 2008-01-30
I enjoy this DVD and when I'm not motivated to do something more difficult, I pop it in. It's a lot of fun, but I would say it's a medium level intensity workout, with minimal sculpting to anything but the legs. I love the ballet sculpt section for my legs, but you do about 4 pushups and that's really it for arms. I'd like to see more arms and abs in the sculpting section.
This workout is 50 minutes long if you do the entire thing. The DVD is nice because if you don't have time you can cut things out and just do a few of the dances or cut out the cool down.
Denise can be a bit confusing the first time through the DVD but I urge you to watch it again and you'll catch on. It's not a tough workout, and if you're in great shape you probably won't even sweat, but it's a nice workout for days you want or need a little bit less activity but still want to work out.
Denise needs to take dance lessons 2008-01-26
I tried the dvd today and it was terrible. She needs to take dance lessons. She diverted away from the possible dance steps in the different segments to do just plain aerobic moves. I was very dissappointed.
