Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Rev up the speed that you need to burn calories by alternating these two beginning-level cardiovascular workouts. Denise Austin (in a two-piece swimsuit and carrying no visible body fat) gives you two different 20-minute workouts in this 1996 video. First is a low-impact routine with simple moves: marches forward, knee lifts, side lunges, cha chas, and shuffles, for example, with even simpler arm work. There are no patterns--just one move repeated a bunch of times, then another move, so this video is best for exercisers who don't want to think about choreography. The setting is an outdoor park overlooking the ocean.

Austin's second workout moves onto the beach with a circuit/interval routine that alternates three minutes of aerobics with one minute of body sculpting with weights or a weighted bar such as the Body Bar. The aerobics are very simple--just a couple of moves repeated for three minutes. Each strengthening segment is one move, such as a lunge or military press, repeated for one minute.

Throughout both workouts, Austin cheerleads with her bubbly personality and encouragements like "You can do it," "You deserve it," and "If you rest, you rust!" The music is more energizing than in many of Austin's other videos. If you like Austin, you'll enjoy this one. --Joan Price

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I wish they'd reissue this in DVD
Having long ago put away my VCR, I have been trying to find a replacement for this video. I am partial to Denise Austin because of her bubbly personality, but she seems to favor "Latin" style moves in her newer DVD's and I just get too frustrated trying to follow in my small living room.
I guess I will have to get this VHS transferred to DVD!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works, but hard to follow
This was my first workout video I bought about 10 years ago when I was a slightly overweight teenager. It was difficult to follow. She often wouldn't tell you what move she was going to do next until she was already doing it. On one rep she would do a movement 2 or 3 times and the next time just do it once. She seemed to be making it up as she went along- you could almost see her thinking "hey, I should be doing something with my arms- maybe this!". The only other negative thing about it is ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ignore the first part, do the second instead
This video consists of two 20 minute workout sessions. The first one is low-impact and the second is medium-impact circuit training with weights.

I recommend skipping the first session. It's not choreographed well at all; in fact, I think Denise was making up the steps as she went along. Also, it's boring and repetitive.

The second session is the one I love. (It's amazing how two sessions on the same tape by the same instructor can be so different!) I've been using it ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - FANTASTIC WORKOUT (with a side of cheese)!!
If I were stranded on a desert island and could choose only one workout video...yes, it would really be this one. You must endure Denise's cheesiness (and the 80s music), but the 2nd workout on this tape is fantastic. From start to finish it's less than a half hour and in that time you never do weights or aerobics for longer than 3 minutes at a time. Before you know it, you've had a full body aerobic workout--weights and all. I've tried a lot of other videos (including many of Denise's) but I ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My favorite aerobics tape ever!
The first segment is so fun and you really work up a sweat. The moves seem simple but the way they're put together really makes you feel like you're getting a great workout. The second segment is definitely a challenge, the first couple times it was hard for me to get through them but each time it gets easier. I actually look forward to exercising every day. Now that's an amazing workout!
