Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
This 1997 body-shaping workout is aimed at "beginners of all ages," especially those who are reluctant to lift weights. The scene is a beach, where perky Denise Austin takes you through a light, easy, safe, strengthening workout. She starts with standing leg lifts (holding onto a chair for balance) for the outer and inner thighs and hamstrings (the back of the thighs), including plenty of explanation along the way to help you know what muscles you're using and how to work them correctly. You'll need dumbbells for the upper-body workout, and although Austin says you can use "soup cans" if you don't own weights, you won't gain much strength that way. Even though the whole workout lasts only 30 minutes, Austin hits all the major muscle groups, including abdominal.

The program design here is much better than in her older Hit the Spot series. The moves are done more slowly, with more attention to technique, and she teaches the chest exercises correctly (lying down). Austin does more teaching and less chattering in this video, which is an intelligent and motivating workout. --Joan Price



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Easy to follow along
This video is about 30 minutes long. Like the title it is xtralite and a beginner's video. So all you advance stop here and go on to something more intense. To me, the video had a little bit of everything: a mild cardio warm up, weight lifting and a stretching cool down. For this video you will need a couple of items: a chair, hand weights, and maybe head and wrist bands. I would recommend this video to anyone who is just starting out.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great for a beginner.....
Very nice tape for the true beginner! It's a light, easy way to tone and firm your muscles, but at the same time you DO feel the exercises, so you know it's working. I've been using this tape for about 2 weeks now and I have already noticed some changes in my arms, legs, and back. The tape offers basic moves that anybody can do, which is great for me! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the warm-up and cool-down/stretch is a little too short. I also use Denise Austin's video "stretch ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good for beginners or the time crunched.
In just a half an hour, denise austin goes through a variety of moves to tone your whole body. The moves are basic, but it's good for the time crunched, fitting everything into a half hour with light stretch to follow. It's not the most challenging but when you need the assistance of a tape to get you disciplined and moving, it helps.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Almost Perfect
If you look at my other reviews, you can see I am a Denise Austin fan, and this video did not disappoint.

You get a great toning workout in a short period of time (I like pairing this with one of her aerobic videos). Denise is always very bubbly and explains things quite well, in my opinion. She also reminds you of little things so you don't hurt yourself or pass out (like keep your head over your heart-- no head rushes!).

The only thing that kept me from giving this video 5 stars ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good lite toning
This is truly a lite tone-up, but not so lite that it feels useless. It was very good for me being about 100lbs. overweight when I started using it. Denise uses a chair and light weights to work the arms, shoulders, legs and abs and then ends with stretching for a total 30min workout. After about 4 weeks of use, I have noticed a decided increase in my upper body strength, more defined arms and my thighs are a bit slimmer. The music sucks, but you can turn down the sound of the tape and play your own ... Read More
