Denise Austin Shopping

Denise has re-invented traditional pilates moves in two 10-minute workouts.

The first one is a killer upper-body workout using light weights. These exercises simultaneously engage your abs and legs while you’re lifting weights. Each area of the upper body is targeted with a single set of multiple reps that get progressively more difficult.

The second workout incorporates classic Pilates core exercises, but each one has been tweaked by Denise to offer an even greater challenge.

There is also a 20-min. dance workout, which I have not yet done (I honestly bought this just for the Pilates). Between the three workouts on this dvd, one can get a well-rounded workout (cardio, strength, and stretch).

For me, this workout is indispensable because of the strength training aspect. I usually find weight workouts to be a huge bore that I dread doing. But this one is so fun and challenging, requiring my complete mental focus, that the time flies and I am already looking forward to doing it again by the time I am done.
