Time graph for Denise Austin: Best Belly Fat-Blasters

Seven ab-focused segments featuring Denise’s always-bubbly personality. It’s totally customizable — you can do them individually or program the DVD to play any section in any order. These are Denise’s all-time favorite moves — an effective mix of traditional floorwork and Pilates matwork (classics like crunches, planks and curls). Two segments add something different. One features yoga moves; the other includes leg-oriented exercises. As always, Denise’s energy and encouragement are super-motivational (“that was great, you did it!”). One segment requires a stability ball. ©2008. Note: DVD was re-edited from Denise’s earlier videos (2002-2007). DVD has: Programmable chapters, Music only option, Region 1.

Denise Austin: Best Belly Fat-Blasters

Time Waster- Too Much Repeating

I am an intermediate level, doing mostly pilates and yoga (big fan of Ellen Barrett and Sarah Ivanhoe). While Denise did use some moves I have never seen before (why it got 3 stars), most of the moves were recycled in more than one segment. For example you did the criss-cross at least three different times. There was also a lot of position switching which made me feel like I was wasting time. And with each segment only being 10 minutes, you don't have a lot of time to waste. She also spent almost two minutes of some segments just for stretching. I felt that was also a time waster. Basically, for 70 minutes of exercising, I felt it more in my arms (she used a lot of plank poses) than in my abs. The last segment used the ball (which I will admit I hate no matter the exercise) and like the other review mentioned, it was a leg exercise rather than abs. - posted by nicole on 4/3/2009

Good ab work!

I have finally done every section of this dvd...and I have to say the first 2 segments are the best (from Personal Training System and Power Zone). The pilates ones are good too...though they are not as difficult. I really didn't like the yoga one because it was mostly stretching and hardly any abs...but that's what I pretty much expected being a yoga work out. The last section with the ball was more legs than abs...but still a good work out. Denise doesn't cue a lot as usual and changes the tempo of her crunches constantly...so I have to look away from the screen until she says "Ok last one...". All in all though...it challenged my abs with new moves and Denise is motivating to me! - posted by T on 9/30/2008

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Programmable chapters

At the beginning of your workout, you can select the exact segments you want to play that day. The DVD will then play all those segments in the order you chose.

Music only option

This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).
