Veteran fitness expert Denise Austin's Personal Training System is one of several exercise programs designed to take advantage of a valuable feature of the DVD format: namely, the ability for viewers to customize their own workouts by picking and choosing from various elements presented in Austin's prescribed routines. These include sections devoted to cardio (available at low and high intensity levels, both about 20 minutes long), upper and lower body exercises (offered at low, medium, and high intensity, each about ten minutes long), and abdominal and stretching segments (the same for all levels, these also last about ten minutes). Meanwhile, the "custom workout" option enables users to combine any or all of these elements according to taste and fitness level. There's nothing especially innovative here--indeed, the cardio sections are pretty much old school, Jane Fonda Workout-style aerobics, while the upper and lower body sections include light weights, bends, lunges, push-ups and other tried-and-true elements--but those looking for a thorough, sweat-inducing regimen will certainly find it here. Austin's relentlessly effervescent style will no doubt prove inspiring to some and cloying to others. On the other hand, the entire program can be done without her audio instructions, and those who simply don't want to work out at all can occupy themselves with an accompanying booklet filled with diet pointers and recipes. --Sam Graham

Summary: Great Exercise!
Comment: I purchased three Denise Austin workout DVD's at one time. Why? Denise Austin is in her 50's, has always stayed fit, and is such an encourager to be healthy and exercise for your life! This DVD is great, harder than I thought it would be, but a great workout. I would also suggest reading Denise's book "Fit and Fabulous After 40"; it is an awesome book full of great information, and certainly applicable to aging and weight loss. Denise is the same throughout all her videos, she gently pushes to keep you going so you have the most benefit.

Summary: Alot for your money
Comment: There are 3 workouts, beg., int. adv. and you can mix and match. I'm an intermediate, I do the Firm and Prevention. I find that you can do much of the advanced on this, so definitely give it a try. I really love the abs on this. I really feel it and its a fairly long segment. She gets the upper abs and the lower abs. I like the upper body weights too. The cardio is good, nothing exceptional.

Summary: A FAVORITE DENISE AUSTIN WORKOUT DVD
Comment: I'VE BEEN WORKING OUT WITH DENISE EVER SINCE SHE WAS ON THE ESPN CHANNEL A LONG TIME AGO, AND YOU EITHER LOVE HER PERSONALITY OR YOU DON'T. SHE'S MOTIVATING AND ENCOURAGING....AND THAT'S WHY I LIKE HER WORKOUTS. THIS DVD IS A FAVORITE BECAUSE YOU CAN SELECT THE WORKOUT SEGMENT AND INTENSITY. ONE DAY I MAY ONLY WANT TO DO THE LOW INTENSITY AEROBICS WITH ABS, THEN I MAY WANT TO CONCENTRATE ON HIGH INTENSITY AEROBICS WITH UPPER BODY THE NEXT DAY. IT'S YOUR CHOICE. NO MATTER WHAT THE INTENSITY OR THE WORKOUTS YOU CHOOSE, IT GIVES YOU A GOOD WORKOUT. (I'VE HAD THIS VIDEO FOR THREE YEARS AND I STILL USE IT!) THIS WORKOUT IS EASY TO FOLLOW BUT KEEP IN MIND, IF YOU DO IT OFTEN ENOUGH, YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH HER DIRECTIONS, YOU'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Summary: Maybe for beginners?
Comment: Tacky as she may be, I love Denise Austin. I love her enthusiasm, and I think she provides great products. The enthusiasm is still there on this DVD, but in my opinion, the workout itself doesn't deliver. Even the advanced levels are quite easy. I wouldn't even call the cardio segment a workout at all, it's incredibly easy. I'm used to getting a challenging workout from Denise, and this is not it. Maybe this would work for beginners, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a decent workout.

Summary: Exercise with Denise Austin
Comment: This is a great exercise routine to do with Denise Austin. I liked it so much that I not only share it with a friend (leaving it at her house), but I got myself another copy to take with me to Shanghai, China where I am visiting my husband. While he is at work I do my exercises with Denise.
