 Great Exercise!Sep 24, 2008
This is an excellent workout! If you really want to "shrink your female fat zones" this is a great way to do it! Denise is encouraging, makes the routine fun with some dance steps, but nothing too difficult - especially for those of us with two left feet! The workout is hard enough, but not too hard. Denise offers less difficult moves and advanced moves for the more intense parts of the workout...no one gets left out. You can keep moving and making progress with every workout. I purchased 3 of Denise's DVD's to keep my routine "spiced up", no boredom. Also, I recommend reading Denise's book "Fit and Fabulous After 40"...a most excellent read for those of us either approaching forty or beyond.
 DissapointingAug 22, 2008
I do like Denise Austin, but I also have her 10 Minute Target Toning DVD and within the first 5 minutes I was doing the same moves she does in the other DVD. I wanted a different workout, not more of the same. I didn't realize you need a stability ball for part of the exercises and I haven't gotten around to buying one yet. I think I will try the 2nd workout when I get my ball, but I was dissapointed with the other exercises.
Shrink Your Female Fat Zones by Denise AustinAug 16, 2008
I love the first 20 minutes of this video. It's all toning using weights and exercises. The second 20 minutes uses a stability ball, which I don't have, so I don't use that portion of it.
All around goodAug 01, 2008
This 40 minute workout is solid. It's got exercise to work all the muscles in your body but I don't think it's for an advanced exerciser. When I first started working out I used this dvd and it was fabulous. I really saw results and I thought it was tough. Now a days, however, it's a little too easy for me. So if you want a really solid workout as a beginner or want something tried and true for an easier workout, this dvd is a great choice.
I like it because it isn't separate 10 minute routines focusing on one body region. It's all integrated into one flowing routine which goes between arms, legs and abs. That is one thing I do like about this dvd. Sometimes you don't want to "target tone" you just want a great solid workout.
 Could Cause InjuryJul 24, 2008
This video is good to break a sweat, but the lack of time spent showing proper form when setting up your body on the yoga ball could cause some serious injury. It is also not possible to always be watching the TV and maintaining proper form at the same time. This does not help the workout because Ms Austin moves quickly from one side to another and doesn't keep count or a specific beat for each motion. She also glides quickly over the warm-up leading into some strenuous exercise before the body is ready.
This DVD/video also is not broken up into 2 distinct workouts (like it is said on the back cover). Instead, it has two parts intertwined without a warm-up/cool-down in between. As a 22 year old teacher, I was disappointed with this because I don't often have time for a full 40 minute workout.
"Shirnk Your Female Fat Zones" would be a good purchase if you are already experienced with free weights and a balance ball, and don't have knee problems (squats are a huge part of her routine). Overall, I rate this workout a 2 out of 5.
