Author's Review
I purchased this DVD for $9.99 online (thank god I didn't spend more! -although I already sold it on Ebay!).
This was my very first exercise workout from Denise Austin-I had heard her name and knew she has been around for some time, so I assumed she would be a good/solid Instructor. I was mistaken!
First of all I had seen this video advertised in my Collage Video catalog and it was listed under step aerobics, mixed impact-so I assumed it would be a step aerobics workout. So I ordered it and when it arrived I was VERY disappointed to see it only had 3 1/2 MINUTES of step aerobics! Plus it contained almost all high impact jumps & hops!
Now, to describe Denise-I was surprised and amazed that first of all she never blinks-her eyes remain open very wide, she never stops talking, and has a fake smile pasted on her face through out-it seems as though she is on speed. Yet her cueing is always off, her moves are not in sync with the others-who NEVER smile and look like they don't want to be there, doing her workout! Denise has a very raspy voice that is just plain annoying and she comes up with the most insane comments and sayings to try to motivate you. I really found her annoying and am surprised anyone would buy her workouts.
As far as the workout itself, I did try it-thinking that maybe I would like it even though I did not like Denise-WRONG! It was too high impact for my liking, and it felt as if I were back in my elementary school gym class! All the steps are very basic and boring-basketball drills, jumping jacks, ski hops, etc. I am used to Tamilee Webb, Karen Voight, Christi Taylor, and The Firm. This was a BIG disappointment and I am glad I was able to sell it right away on Ebay! I really would not recommend this to anyone.
