Could Cause Injury
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.

Great workout
This is a great workout with a lot of tips to use. What I don't like is that her smile is very fake, her voice is weird and she doesn't cover posture, which extremely important.

Great workout!
I love this video. It is easy to follow and the exercises aren't very difficult. I liked that you didn't have to have much coordination to follow along. It doesn't seem like it's doing much but after using it for several weeks, you start noticing clothes fitting better. The only bad thing is that Denise Austin gets a little annoying-too cheerleaderish-but you can always mute the sound.

easy for beginners
I like Denise Austin..I think she's cheesy, but I think the concept of targeting those "female fat zones" is great.

I think it a good body workout minus the cardio. I don't think my heart rate got to a high point at all with this routine.

I think it's more strengthening then anything. I like this workout..not to difficult, the pace was easy to keep up with and all in all great for when i was just starting out..I never felt overwhelmed with it.

I thinks it's a great starter workout..not to easy where you get bored, good enough to feel like you have worked those muscles, and easy to follow.

I feel great!!
I received this DVD today. After doing the workouts, I feel good, refreshed and renewed. I had to pause the DVD every so often to get a move right or to catch my breath. It is challenging but not too difficult either, most people should be able to do this. I plan to keep at it, along with other exercises and a healthy diet and hopefully I will see results. I urge you to try it too!
