Denise Austin: 3-Week Boot Camp |
  "Bootcamp" Denise-Style |
| I think she did an excellent job with this DVD! It is "bootcamp" done Denise-style, what else could you expect?! Denise is less bubbly in this production than other previous DVDs and IMO, it IS harder than other workouts of her's. I think that's where "bootcamp" comes in. She does (compared to her signature style) a lot of impact in this workout and it's very kettlebell inspired. Denise's bootcamp or style of "tough" isn't like your traditionally advanced and hardcore instructors, if you want that look elsewhere. If you don't like Denise, she hasn't changed expect her instruction is more toned down. She still has trouble with cuing in advanced and misses a rep or two. That's just her and I love her for it- she's real. I was sweating buckets in this workout and was amazed by how well I felt the core work! Those Turkish Getups do fire the core like no other! If you like Denise, you'll love this workout. If you aren't a fan of her's, why even rate her down? Just don't purchase her workouts, she isn't going to change, thankfully! I loved it and it will offer a level of challenge that I like for plenty of time to come. It's different than anything she's done before and now I can enjoy a kettlebell type of workout. - posted by The Mrs. on 7/23/2010 |

| Bootcamp huh? |
| Ok so I took a chance with Denise Austin. I am not a Denise fan. Her voice and her over done motivation is distracting to me I swear. The exercise is good, but I don't see or feel the bootcamp at all. Nothing military about it. I can't say I was overly taxed doing the workout. I'm an intermediate exerciser and kind of felt like, huh? I'd rather workout with leslie sansone, or Jay Johnson and maybe even cindy whitmarsh. - posted by Lisa on 6/28/2010 |

| Denise Austin 3-Week Boot Camp |
| Did this workout for the first time today. At first I thought it was fairly easy, but by the time I was finished, I couldn't get over how much water I'd drunk and how much I'd sweated! I don't feel that the claim of "3 weeks" is really valid, but this DVD is a real good compliment to other DVD's. I've been exercising for about 17 years now. I did like that there weren't a lot of reps of exercises, kept short-attention span me from getting bored. This is a keeper. I'm not sure if there's a way to program it so that after one workout you'll go right to the next rather than having to go back to the main menu. The length of the DVD was good -- a good workout in a short amount of time. I don't have kettlebells, and I liked that you did kettlebell exercises but with just dumbbells. I really liked that there was a fair amount of attention paid to doing exercises for the lower back. So many DVD's just focus on the abs but don't work the opposing muscles. - posted by Michele on 6/28/2010 |

| Denise's Boot Camp is a Winner |
| Denise Austin's Boot Camp is kicking my middle-aged menopausal butt! As a 55-year-old returning DVD exerciser, I have learned that I can't drop the weight as quickly as I used to do. However, this program, done without changing my diet, is making steady progress. I look forward to the workout and to the physical and mental rewards I get from it. My plan is to combine this workout with healthier eating habits in order to feel better, look better, and rev up my energy level. Thank you, Denise, for your continuing motivation and for helping me get to where I want to be. - posted by Sandy on 6/3/2010 |

| just ok |
| I didn't find this all that enjoyable or challenging. I would consider myself intermediate/advanced and was looking for a short but effective workout. This barely made me break a sweat. I hate to be negative, but thought I should give my point of view. In general, I do like Denise and would recommend this for beginner/intermediate exercisers. - posted by Laura on 5/13/2010 |

| Fun and effective |

| Not bad |
| I am in my mid fifties and have exercised for years. This is my first Denise Austin workout and I like it very much. My negative comments are that she doesn't let you know far enough ahead of time that she's switching moves and, that she doesn't do enough reps of each move. I do all 3 sections and find it a good overall workout. I also like using one weight like a kettlebell. - posted by Sandra on 4/7/2010 |

| surprisingly challenging |
| I'm above a beginner, but maybe not quite an intermediate exerciser. I'm also not a big fan of Denise Austin; however, this video was rated high among users and Collage Video staff so I thought I'd try it. I wanted an intermediate workout video and this is within that category. The routine is fairly basic, on the lines of calisthenics. I really like the athletic training portion. It really works the lower body. The ab portion is a challenge as well. I think the claim that "in just 3 weeks you will trim inches, shrink fat and feel great!" is a stretch... I do feel better, but I haven't noticed much of the other two! I will keep using it because it is a good workout. - posted by Addie on 4/6/2010 |

| okay |
| I like the workouts. They are the perfect length for me since I work full time and have kids. I need an effective, short workout and this one delivers just that. However, the music is awful! Also, I had to keep turning up the volume because Denise was talking so low. It's almost as if she were making an effort to be less perky and loud than normal. But it made it very difficult to stay motivated since the tone of her voice would have been more appropriate for a stretch or yoga video. - posted by Michelle on 4/4/2010 |
