"This is the best fitness DVD yet! Denise Austin has incorporated her Hit the Spot Abs, Buns, and Thighs series into one DVD as well as a Fat Burning workout and mind/body relaxation. This DVD is divided into 6 chapters on the main menu (Introduction, Fat Burning, Abs, Buns, Thighs, and Ask Denise). The Introduction chapter just goes over how you should use this dvd and basic discussion of the chapters. The Fat Burning Chapter contains 2 subchapters - Fat Burning workout and Mind/Body Cooldown. The Fat Burning workout is a 20 minute low-impact aerobic workout. I really like this one. Denise starts out slow and then builds up to a fun-packed workout which she incorporates some moves such as the cha cha and mamba. The next subchapter is the Mind/Body Cooldown which is a very relaxing and stress relieving group of exercises. The Abs, Buns, and Thighs Chapters each have 2 subchapters within them. One for beginner and another for moving on to advanced. They each work on toning and tightening the target areas. The Ask Denise Chapter covers many frequently asked questions regarding fitness and her corresponding answers. I found this to be very informative. I really feel that I got more for my money with this DVD. I am very pleased! Thanks Denise!"

Fun workout

"This is the first exercise DVD I have bought and I really like it. The scenery is pretty and the music isn't annoying. The toning sections have 2 levels so you can do one or both if you are really in for a workout. I like Denise's attitude and she is a great motivator. I haven't done aerobics in a while but I'm excited about getting back into shape while using this DVD."

Great to do in a pinch!

"I really liked this DVD that features eight short workout segments that can be mixed and matched. It has one cardio workout that is short, but challenging. The moves include walking, grapevines, cha-chas, and chasses. You will break a sweat. There are also six ten-minute toning segments: two for abs, two for thighs, two for buns. There is a mind/body routine for a cool-down or just to relax. The scenery is tropical and beautiful and the toning exercises are basic and proven to be effective. Denise is enthusiastic and encouraging, as usual."

Best exercise dvd I have found!!

"this is one of the best exercise dvd's i have ever used. i actually look forward to exercising during the week while my child naps. all the toning segments make me feel like i'm getting kicked into shape. i do both levels of fitness each day on the abs, buns, and thighs. the 10 minute segments are great for anyone who can't find time to exercise, or who have limited time because of small children.as for the cardio, i found it to be effective. it actually is about 25 minutes long. the moves are easy to follow as long as you are trying. she does give instructions on what's going on. as far as someone saying they wished denise would say "this is what we're going to do", and then do it, that's what kathy smith videos are for. the cardio workout was easy for me to follow! i would recommend to those who are starting up an exercise program after a year or more without, to sit through the cardio workout and watch the moves before doing it. that way, you'll know what to expect.denise gives me the motivation and encouragement to stick with the program that i can't give myself. i stick with the program since i feel accountable to denise and myself if i miss a day of exercise. consistency is what gives results.all you need are a mat or large rug(or carpeted area), a chair, a pillow, and a towel."
