I bought this DVD for $14.99 thinking that it would be a great workout. I was sadly mistaken. The workout was ok. I was not really motivated to continue after two days. NEVER AGAIN!!! Now, I have to go and get another exercise tape for this week. I’m pissed!!! Denise is annoying and a bit incompetent, in my opinion. Even though she’s a veteran in the fitness world, her abilities as a fitness instructor seemed very amateur/mediocre. She needs to go back to fitness instruction 101.

This DVD says on the package “full screen” and when I play it on my 42″ plasma it looks AWFUL! The people are all squatty and chubby looking – not exactly a great inspiration in a workout tape!! I went back to amazon and nowhere did I see clear lables of “full screen” or “widescreen” or anything else like that. While I realize I probably ordered the wrong version, I can’t find where I could’ve done otherwise. Very disappointed and don’t know if I’ll even use the DVD as it’s so hard to watch this way. Be warned and don’t make my mistake – order the correct version for your TV (if you can).

this is the worst denise austin dvd to date. she truly acts like a confused overexhuberant cheerleeder. i have always been able to tune her out in the past but her lack of instruction makes it impossible. sometimes she tells you, sometimes she doesn’t. both of the workouts on this leave a lot to be desired. as does the stretch. not sure this would be recommended for beginners as she bounces from one move to the other without warning and haphazardly, but experienced would be bored with this very quickly. and just a quick remark, when you think of boot camp what do you think of???? um duh!!! lots of running, jumping jacks… high impact moves. that and absolutely no where on the dvd does it say low impact. try the personal training system using the low intensity aerobics section.

This is my first Denise Austin workout video and I will never buy another one!
I’d expected someone as established as Denise would take the time to properly teach the routine to her workout crew and be sure they’ve practiced enough times before making this into a DVD and charging money for it. Everyone continuously messes up their moves which drives me absolutely nuts. Possibly I’m too picky, but regardless of how good of a workout this is, the misteps of the people distracts me from getting a decent workout.

I have to say I’ve been doing videos by Denise for years now. This video, I’m happy to say, caters to the intermediate to advanced levels.
Of couse anyone that does Denise’s videos knows she’s not the best at queuing. But you cannot deny she knows her stuff. And once you get used to the video, you know when to switch exercises anyways. I especially like the fact that there is a flexibility/cool down portion that lasts for ten minutes. Alot of the videos coming out don’t have long enough cool down portions. And it is so important to stretch after an exerting workout.
