Denise Austin: Hit The Spot - 10 Five Minute Target Toners

Denise is good, but a little too overenthusiastic...
I bought this DVD because I wanted to find a weight training video. It does a good job, especially the Abs portion. Denise is a little keyed up for this video. Lots of cheering you on. That's okay, but sometimes it's like "Shut Up and let me work out!" Some of the legs portion is not as challenging as I would have liked it to be. It is easy on the knees though. Make sure you have a chair ready for the legs bit and 2-5 pound dumbells before starting. I started with 2's and went to 5's after a couple of days. Also nice that you don't need a lot of room for jumping around, this is not that kind of DVD. More concentrated on movement and quality of form. Great video to combine with cardio.

This workout does the job!
People make fun of Denise Austin, but, hey, this workout is one of the best for toning. It seems deceptively easy; she doesn't spend that much time on any exercise, but she covers all the muscle groups. It doesn't take long to see some really good results (like goodbye "old lady arms.")

Exellent instruction
Unlike some of Denise's other dvd's this one has excellent instruction and encouragement. Not like the old Denise workouts where she is practically shouting at you. I use this dvd on easy days when I don't feel up to pushing myself and I still feel like I had an adequate workout depending on the weight I've used.
