DVD Reviews of Personal Training System

DVD Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars

This was my first experience with Denise Austin. Whenever I had caught a few minutes of her show on TV I always thought, "What is WRONG with that woman?" But, now that I've experienced her workouts I really enjoy her personality. She is peppy and encouraging and you can't help but feel energized by her enthusiasm.

As for the workouts, I am doing all the low level stuff because I am not in shape at all. They kick my butt, however, not in an exhausting painful way. I feel really worked out and stretched after doing the aerobics routine and then all of the toning and stretching. The aerobics section has variety but is not so complicated that it is hard to follow (like a lot of other aerobics workouts).

The customize option is really wonderful because you can vary intensities depending on your fitness level or, if you're pressed for time you can just do a couple of segments.

Get this DVD--you won't regret it!

DVD Review: Denise Austin gets you in shape
Summary: 3 Stars

Denise has some good, basic routines for you, but you'll have to do them much longer than the few seconds she devotes to each exercise. Some of the movements are so slow and lax that I doubt your flab will be intimidated!

DVD Review: Good workout
Summary: 4 Stars

I really enjoy this dvd. I love that you can customize the workout for your time/needs. I love the low intensity option for the cardio segment since I have touchy knees and ankles. The only thing is if i'm feeling good in the knees and ankles I go for the high intensity and that it's more challenging, which I like, but I definitely could not do it on a daily basis with past knee surgery and many ankle injuries in volleyball.Oh well, however I VERY MUCH ENJOY HER UPPER, LOWER, and AB WORKOUTS! The low, medium, and high intensity for all 3 are great! You can really feel your muscles get worked! Its great also because its broken down so well you don't need to rush to buy a new DVD when you plateau if you stick to all low, then to all medium when you plateau at low and then to high when you plateau at medium, or mix and match! Whatever you please. Try it for yourself, you will enjoy! Great for me and my needs in my little apartment.

DVD Review: Easy on the back but pretty effective
Summary: 5 Stars

It's a great workout with good mix of stretching, cardio and strength. And most important, its very easy on your back.

DVD Review: Lots of Choices
Summary: 5 Stars

I wanted the most bang for my buck and I got it with this DVD. There are several combinations to create for unique workouts. I thought I was in pretty good shape, especially with strength, but this DVD proved me wrong. I use this one the most out of all the fitness DVDs I own. Just make sure that you own two sets of weights (3 and 5 pounds) and a sturdy chair.

Description of Personal Training System

Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 12/20/2005 Rating: Nr

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
