 Decent all around workout October 4, 2008
love2workout (los angeles, CA)
Its half cardio, half toning with bands. Not very long, I think 20 min each. It's good and its programmable. The key to working out with bands is the bands resistance level. If you workout with weights, you probably need a heavier band. Its good to have in your rotation. Not a very heavy workout, but I would say medium to light. I use the Firm and Prevention alot, so that's what I'm comparing this one to.
I think this has been released with different dates, so check to see if the date makes a difference.
 Like it but... April 12, 2008

Denise Austin is great.. The only problem I had with this video was the band they used. After the first use, it was a mess (because of the sweat of my hands) it wouldn't stretch properly anymore. You can still workout with this video without the band but it is a little more tricky to do because they use the band. If you are talented, you can get a great workout with this video without the band. I was not impressed with the band at all. I would not recommend this video for beginners.
 EZ to follow, hand weights can be substituted for band January 2, 2008

I am a very experienced home and class exerciser and like this dvd because it gives a total workout... cardio, upper body, lower body, abs... in an interesting, effective, quick, and simple to follow format. When resistance is necessary the band can be substituted with hand weights which are more desirable to me because they're more comfortable to use.

I just received this DVD and was disappointed, after reading the reviews commenting on the inclusion of a resistance band, to find that there was no band included with my purchase. Just a heads up for those of you who may order this item in the future, the resistance band apparently is no longer included with this version.
A Unique and Intense Workout July 20, 2007

In this DVD, Denise Austin incorporates a resistance band for an additionally intense workout. The results are excellent. The DVD contains a 25 minute interval cardio workout utilizing the resistance band to burn more calories and strengthen muscle along with endurance. There are also three strength training segments for arms, legs, and abs. (The abs workout does not use the band).
I found the use of the resistance band, which is included free with the DVD, a wonderful idea. I felt I was getting more of a workout for the time I spent in the cardio section. As for the strength training segments, I found that I like using the band as an alternative to the hand-weights that I use most of the time.
As per usual, Denise is very energetic and enthusiastic in this DVD. Her positive attitude and zest really motivate me to workout my hardest. This is another wonderful workout from Denise Austin!
