VHS Movie Reviews of Denise Austin Hit the Spot: Abs: 3 Quick Tummy Tightening Workouts [VHS]Movie Review: Denise's abs workout Summary: 5 StarsDenise Austin Hit the Spot Abs video is a total thirty-six minutes long and was released on August 17, 1995. The workout is broken into three segments. Segments one and two beginners will have no problem keeping up. Segment three is a different story altogether. Once she gets on the floor I found it very hard to keep up with her and it is more geared towards people who are intermediate and up. Here how the segments breaks down.
Segment One-eleven minutes
A workout mat and a folded towel are needed for Segment One. Denise starts out Segment One lying down with the towel placed under the lower buttocks. She begins the exercises with twenty alternating leg raises and then does nine sit ups with the arms straight out, eight sit ups with the arms crossed at the neck, and ten regular sit ups. Denise repeats the sit ups going four, four, and four for the three different sit ups. The towel is placed under the knees and does twenty-one reverse sit-ups. Denise brings the knees to the right side with the towel still under the knees and does sixteen crunches. The knees come to the left side and she does fifteen crunches. The towel is place in between the knees and she starts off with twelve pelvic tilts; then a sit up is combine with a pelvic tilt and Denise does sixteen of the combination. With the right foot on the left knee Denise does a criss cross of left elbow to right knee twelve times and then the left foot is on the right knee she does a criss cross of right elbow to left knee fifteen times. Denise ends Segment One sitting up and doing some alternating hand stretches.
Segment Two-ten minutes
A workout mat is needed for Segment Two. Denise starts the routine sitting on the mat and begins twelve back tilts; she then switches to where the back is on the floor and back up again for six times. Now lying on her back with the knees bent and the arms straight she does a number of little pulses; to fast to count. Now with the right foot on the left knee, and still lying on your back, she does nine knee\leg raises. She switches her legs and does nine on that side. Next come seventeen regular crunches and ten fast crunches. After that come a combo of crunches and knee\leg lefts; thirteen on the left and eleven on the right. Denise does something with her hands crossed and straight out and does thirty-one reaches to the right side and thirty-one on the left side. Denise then lies on the back with legs straight up and does twenty-two straight arm pulses\reaches. The knees are brought to the chest with the hands under the knees and she rocks herself eight times. Denise ends Segment Two with a back stretch, half-spinal twist done on both sides, and two in & out exhales.
Segment Three-eleven minutes
Workout mat is needed for Segment Three. Denise starts Segment Three standing up with waist twists and switchers to fast, then normal, to twisting with arm punches and finally fast twists. Now with the arm stretch out she begins a series of moving the arms side t side. Then still with the arms straight out and moving side to side she does alternating waist touches. Denise then begins floor exercises. Lying on her back and knees bent she bring the knees in on her back and knees bent she bring the knees in and straight out twenty-two times. Then goes on and does an advanced modified version ten times. Sitting up and knees bent Denise moves the knee left right left and legs straight out and right left right and legs straight out. Denise repeats this several times. Now partially lying down she next does alternating in to out leg stretches. Later in that exercises arms are added. Denise then starts off doing arm curls and later adds back lifts to them. Denise next does alternating arm pulls. She ends Segment Three with thirty-one reverse sit ups with the feet crossed, with the legs straight up twelve sit ups, and the legs are still straight up for twenty-three footprints to the ceilings.
The biggest beef I have with this video is that she does not do equal numbers workouts on the left and right side. If you do ten on the left then do ten on the right. Denise Austin Hit the Spot Abs gets an AA++.
Movie Review: My Fav Summary: 5 StarsI use these videos multiple times a week! They are the best for toning up the abs. I even bought my mother the DVD!
Denise is perky, but hell we need that sometimes to keep going!
Movie Review: Yowza! Summary: 5 StarsI found this tape at a consignment shop about five years ago...and I am convinced that this is the best ab workout of them all! I just did segment one today and let me tell you-my abdominal area is good and sore! Great video!
Movie Review: Found my abs Summary: 5 StarsMy preschool-age kids were no longer willing to sit in the stroller for my work-outs, and so i was not snapping back into shape after this 4th baby. Having never heard of Denise, I bought the tape used. I am so glad i did. After about 2 months of doing 10 minutes every other day, I am 8 pounds lighter and my waistline is "whittled." Even though the routines are only 10 minutes, you may be crying for mercy. But Denise is very supportive, and I do not find her to be overly peppy. The "You did great, I'm proud of you!" at the end of a work-out is a welcome encouragement. Highly recommend.
Movie Review: great for after baby Summary: 2 StarsThis is the tape I used to tone up after having my baby. Ten minutes fly by and I saw results fast! It really worked for me!
Summary of Denise Austin Hit the Spot: Abs: 3 Quick Tummy Tightening Workouts [VHS]"Just 10 minutes every other day!" is Denise Austin's prescription for a flat, defined midsection, and she should know. Despite two babies, she has the abs of a teenage athlete. In this video, Austin presents a gazillion abdominal exercises formatted into three different 10-minute workouts. She gives plenty of instruction, with tips for form, alignment, and breathing, as well as the proper way to perform each move. Exercises target the rectus abdominis and obliques, and are varied enough so that you won't feel you're doing the same workout each day. A few of the exercises seem outdated and are less effective than others. Full sit-ups, little pulsing crunches, and standing twists, for example, don't work the abs as well as regular, slow crunches. And some of the exercises in the third segment could be stressful to your lower back if you don't already have strong abs. But Austin still gets credit for plenty of variety, which is what we want if we're committing ourselves to 10 minutes of abs every other day. --Joan Price
