Summary: Great For People With Not Much Time
Review: If you're looking for a video that doesn't take a lot of time, then this is one that you should add to your collection. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or have been doing this stuff for years, there are two levels to suit both challenges. 10 minutes is spent on abs, buns & thighs. You can choose to do all of them or one of them when you get a spare 10 minutes. The exercises are great and you can feel the burn in all your muscles. If you do this video 3-5 times a week and eat a healthy diet, you'll easily lose inches and tighten up those "loose" areas.

Summary: Not that great!
Review: There are good and bad things that I discovered about this DVD. I found the cardio portion to be short and the dance steps were hard to follow. I realize that it was meant to be low impact, but I never felt really challenged, other than trying to keep up! I liked the target toning segments. It was nice to have a choice of which area you wish to work and with what intensity. It makes it easier to do the workout everyday without getting over tired. I think that I will do a different cardio workout along with the toning section of this DVD.

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: THis DVD is a JOKE! The "fat burning" cardio workout is only 20 minutes, and there's no lead-in introduction for the next move. The quality and sound of the DVD is terrible! However, the specific "hit the spot" portions for abs, buns and thighs isn't bad; good exercises and emphasis on proper form and technique. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't buy it. The only useful portion for me was the three specific exercises.

Summary: Best exercise dvd I have found!!
Review: this is one of the best exercise dvd's i have ever used. i actually look forward to exercising during the week while my child naps.

all the toning segments make me feel like i'm getting kicked into shape. i do both levels of fitness each day on the abs, buns, and thighs. the 10 minute segments are great for anyone who can't find time to exercise, or who have limited time because of small children.

as for the cardio, i found it to be effective. it actually is about 25 minutes long. the moves are easy to follow as long as you are trying. she does give instructions on what's going on.

as far as someone saying they wished denise would say "this is what we're going to do", and then do it, that's what kathy smith videos are for. the cardio workout was easy for me to follow! i would recommend to those who are starting up an exercise program after a year or more without, to sit through the cardio workout and watch the moves before doing it. that way, you'll know what to expect.

denise gives me the motivation and encouragement to stick with the program that i can't give myself. i stick with the program since i feel accountable to denise and myself if i miss a day of exercise. consistency is what gives results.

all you need are a mat or large rug(or carpeted area), a chair, a pillow, and a towel.

Summary: Not that great!
Review: This is the 8th workout dvd that I've purchased and I'll have to say it's second to last of my favorites. I like the Three 10 minute sessions the best, but the 30 minute aerobics are very weak. Denise jumps around on the lawn for 30 minutes, and it seems like she's just making up things to do. It's not that bad really, but I guess that the quality of the whole dvd (which must have been a video transfer) makes it seem worse than it is (maybe?). At any rate this is definitely one that you could skip. If you're looking for a really good workout dvd try Donna Richardson's 3 day rotation or Quick Fix, they are both great.

Summary: Excellent all-in-one Hit The Spot series + bonus!
Review: This is the best fitness DVD yet! Denise Austin has incorporated her Hit the Spot Abs, Buns, and Thighs series into one DVD as well as a Fat Burning workout and mind/body relaxation. This DVD is divided into 6 chapters on the main menu (Introduction, Fat Burning, Abs, Buns, Thighs, and Ask Denise). The Introduction chapter just goes over how you should use this dvd and basic discussion of the chapters. The Fat Burning Chapter contains 2 subchapters - Fat Burning workout and Mind/Body Cooldown. The Fat Burning workout is a 20 minute low-impact aerobic workout. I really like this one. Denise starts out slow and then builds up to a fun-packed workout which she incorporates some moves such as the cha cha and mamba. The next subchapter is the Mind/Body Cooldown which is a very relaxing and stress relieving group of exercises. The Abs, Buns, and Thighs Chapters each have 2 subchapters within them. One for beginner and another for moving on to advanced. They each work on toning and tightening the target areas. The Ask Denise Chapter covers many frequently asked questions regarding fitness and her corresponding answers. I found this to be very informative. I really feel that I got more for my money with this DVD. I am very pleased! Thanks Denise!

Summary: fun workout
Review: This is the first exercise DVD I have bought and I really like it. The scenery is pretty and the music isn't annoying. The toning sections have 2 levels so you can do one or both if you are really in for a workout. I like Denise's attitude and she is a great motivator. I haven't done aerobics in a while but I'm excited about getting back into shape while using this DVD.
