Split personality

I did the three workouts as one long workout (play all). I was thinking of writing this review as I exercised. If I only did the first section, this review would have been much worse (only 2 stars). I didn't like the Cardio Interval. I mean it made me sweat, but I thought the cuing was horrible and the transitions between movements choppy. She cued like okay now we we do the next exercise. I was thinking, well I would do the next exercise if if it wasn't such a big secret! Then, she would not do any counts and all of a sudden switch to the other side so I frequently did one less exercise on one side. I think only because I have done so many differnt workouts that I was able to keep up with the transitions. I'm worried about beginners pulling something, especially when she does the t-stand and plank segment. Please be careful people! The second and third sections Strength and Flexibility I thought were much better, and the only two I would do again. I really felt that she worked my whole body in the Strength segment. However, she didn't say how much weight to use. I did 8 pounds because the segments are shorter than what I'm used to doing (20 minutes each for the Cardio Internval and Strength). The Cardio Interval doesn't use weights. I would recommend less weight for most people to start out. The new twist to the 10 minute Flexibility section is instead of doing static stretches, you move through the stretches "like athletes." Again people be careful of your form. There are no variations for beginning exercisers in any of the sections. I got this DVD from the library so might do it again. I would only recommend advanced beginners or intermediate exercisers like myself get this DVD because of the lack of cuing and types of exercises in the video. So, the Cardio Interval gets 2 stars and the Strength Interval gets 4 stars for an average of 3 stars.

Not impressed

I was really hoping to enjoy this video I have been using Slim in Six for a while now when I dont go to t he gym. However first off Denise aggravated me with her facial expressions and annoying voice. Also i felt like there was no flow to this video! Everything was so jumpy and unorganized, I felt like if I continued I would pull something.
Not impressed at all I will never use this video.

I love this DVD!

I've been a regular exerciser for many years, but I needed something to help me get past a plateau and wake my body up. This was just what the doctor ordered. I had too many videos/DVDs that were more on a beginner/intermediate level and I had worn them out. This DVD is a little more advanced, gets your heart rate up more and leaves you feeling like you really worked out. In the past, Denise has been known more for beginner-level workouts (not that that's a bad thing), so she may surprise some of you with this one. I highly recommend it.

Very Effective Total Body Workout

I have many fitness DVDs and this is one of my favorites. Its fast paced and works your entire body. The flexibility segment adds an interesting new twist on stretching.

NO! I'M STILL NOT THE TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT (NOT YET), BUT THIS WAS BOUGHT FOR A FRIEND WHO'S LOVING IT!!!

She recommends this highly! In fact she wants MORE Debbie Austin videos, So what does that tell you? She also says it works on several levels. If you are serious about Shaping Up, Losing Pounds, Trimming Up (Along with eating right, of course)...THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO START!!!
