Certified instructor description: A balanced mix of up-to-date exercises in two complementary interval workouts — one focuses on fat-burning; the other emphasizes body-sculpting. The first workout uses athletic cardio moves like jumping jacks and cross-country skiing. The second program keeps your heart rate up with short aerobic sections. But its primary focus is toning — from dumbbell classics to newer corework and kettlebell-style routines (using a single dumbbell). Both programs include time-efficient, multi-muscle toning exercises (e.g. lower-body lunges with upper-body tricep curls). DVD also has a 7-minute bonus abs workout. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2009. DVD has: Close captions, Region 1.

Denise Austin's 3-Week Boot Camp

Great
I really like this video. It is great that she put as two 20 min so if I have time can do all. Or if wake up late I can still get a workout in. Denise Austin is one of my favorite instructors. - posted by Misti on 1/19/2012
It works!
I have been doing the athletic training part of this video for about 3 weeks and I can see changes in my body. However I have gained rather than lost weight. I am not good at "dieting" and I am sure that would help, too. I keep telling myself that muscle weighs more than fat and eventually I will lose weight. - posted by Patti on 1/2/2012
Great workout.
Good all around workout! No complaints! Yes, try it out. I think you will love it. - posted by Tana on 11/30/2011
Nice Workout
I haven't had many experiences with Denise but decided to try a few of her newer workouts and I really enjoy them. Her cuing isn't the best, of course, but it's improved. I like how the two workouts here can be combined or mixed and matched with other dvds, particularly her Quick Burn Cardio. I don't use kettlebells and haven't wanted to make that investment so I enjoy workouts like this one where I get KB moves using a dumbbell so I mix up my weight workouts. Nice workout by Denise. - posted by Elaine on 9/5/2011
Denise Austin 3-Week Boot Camp
This is a fast-paced video that is good for beginners. It's intimidating at first because you haven't seen the routine before, but after 2-3 times it was easy to follow along with her instructions. It's working magic! - posted by Whitney on 8/18/2011
Great For All Levels and Ages!
I am a marathoner in my late 20s and both I and my mom, who has knee, ankle, and shoulder problems, love this DVD! It’s not my hardest (I do Jillian Michaels, Jessica Smith, etc.), but I’m always surprised at how tired I feel at the end (and I only use 2 lb weights!. I like moderate workouts sometimes so that I'm not always dreading exercise or thinking of it as something to get/ keep myself looking a certain way. Mom only does the kettlebell section, but the high impact one is pretty good too. Denise’s new DVDs (ex. Yoga Body Burn, Quick Burn Cardio) are the epitome of what a workout should be, especially for busy people- a short, effective, way to get some personal care time. Also love that she doesn’t require lots of random extra/ expensive equipment. - posted by Taylor on 7/21/2011
Great Interval workout
This is what I was looking for. I wanted an interval workout that was both challenging but with simple moves. I just love workouts that have basic moves so that I don't have to think so much and just concentrate on getting a good workout. And this gets my heart rate way up there and I like being able to alternate the two workouts every day. That's why I love so many of Denise's workouts because they are just plain "no nonsense" workouts that are very effective. - posted by Corenne on 6/14/2011
Another fabulous workout by Denise!
As an eighteen year veteran fitness instructor,they don't get better than Denise! Having taught in numerous clubs, studios and gyms, I can assure you, she is the best! This DVD is no different than any of her others-PHENOMINAL! Her music, cueing, choreography and sunny outlook make this DVD a winner! This is a full body workout, always with safety at the forefront. She talks you through the workout, encouraging you to do your best! I am also a person who sees the glass half full, life is too short to be any other way...Thanks Denise for sharing your talents and zest for life with all of us!! - posted by Laura C. on 5/16/2011
Something Different from Denise
I really liked the variety in this work out. There are some old moves and some new ones here. Jump roping, shuffles, and jumping jacks are some of the older ones but there are interesting moves thrown in as well, especially when using the weights. I enjoyed the kettlebell style section and it was much more challenging than I thought it would be when I previewed it! The music was a tad better than her previous work outs, and the background exercisers were pleasant and not distracting. The only thing I could've wished for is a longer cool down/stretch and maybe a little bit better cueing, but that is to be expected with Denise! I love her anyway! - posted by T on 5/5/2011
One of her better videos
This video gives 2 good short workouts. Like other reviewers, I agree that Denise is more rhythm and less over the top. I am in decent shape and my muscles were feeling it after, especially workout 2. - posted by Tara on 4/21/2011

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
Region 1
X
This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
