Very good wourkoutMarch 18, 2008 Agnese Civjane(Latvia) This is very good workout. I am a home stay mother and this is good workout either if my child is up or sleeping, because the music is calming and Denise's voice is very soft. It does not get boring after watching it so many times.

I really like this DVD. I have back and hip problems. All this stretching feels WONDERFUL.

This is what sets this video apart from the rest and this is why you MUST buy it: Denise pairs strength training with flexibility work. She has you contract the muscles and then relieves the tension with a looooooooong stretch immediately afterwards. This is far superior to the neck-crunching pilates workouts and the easier yoga workouts that don't seem to do enough strength work and it feels GREAT as you do it (so we're not just slogging through another workout).
Buy it because it really works. This program is perfect if you're looking for something to do a couple times a week. It's low impact overall and you can pick and choose between the first video ("easier" imho) and the second (lots of core work). I can do this in the morning and feel the burn in the afternoon. If you're having an off day, do the easier versions of the exercise (Denise demonstrates). It's a very mellow and relaxed workout that incorporates breath, well-paced and you still work up a sweat!
You feel great afterwards - looser, leaner, stronger, improved posture - that's enough incentive to do it a few times a week!
I've been using it for years & nothing has come close to the quality workout this video gives. I always come back to this one.
If you don't like her voice (it's not so bad), turn it down low and put on some music.
Money well spent. Definitely add this one to your library.

I had know idea that this woman was so annoying. I loved the workout. The moves were great but after a few times I worked out with her on MUTE.

I already had this on VHS but wanted to upgrade to the DVD. I've always enjoyed her Pilates tape and would recommend Denise Austin to anyone. She's all I 'use'.
