Certified instructor description: Three well-structured, body-part-targeted programs: upper body, lower body and abs. Each features an effective blend of carefully sequenced body-sculptors — from classic dumbbell and Pilates moves to weight-room and ballet-style exercises (with both standing and floorwork, it’s an unusually varied selection in such compact workouts). As always, Denise is motivating and enthusiastic. But she’s also exceptionally focused on proper technique. Sometimes doing the moves herself, sometimes walking among the class — she always makes sure you get the maximum results from each exercise. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2009. DVD has: Programmable chapters, Close captions, Region 1.

Denise Austin's Body Makeover Mix
Love it!
This is my first Denise Austin exercise dvd. I've always been "afraid" that she was just way to peppy. However, this dvd is excellent. She is upbeat, motivating, and the exercises are not too fast or "peppy" to follow, but I felt it the next day. I have about 10 dvds that I use in rotation. There are some that I dread (too hard) and some that are boring, but this one is just right :) I would recommend it for any level. - posted by Isabel on 2/2/2012

great dvd
Love this dvd - I'm 53 and in reasonable shape....it's challenging enough without being too hard,....easy to follow, and as always, I enjoy Denise Austin's positive attitude & excellent form to imitate. I love that it is in basic chapters, so if I don't have alot of time I pick and choose what I need. - posted by melanie on 6/12/2011

Suprising and Quick
I don't have a lot of time to work out so I tend to look to the shorter dvds. The 16ish minute segments on this really drew my eye. I have Denise Austin's pregnant workout dvd so I thought I'd try this one. I was suprised at how much I was really working out and how sore I was at the end of it. There is also an option to turn off her talking and just listen to the music, which is nice if you do the workout often. - posted by Tammy on 8/26/2010

The Mellow Side of Denise
I really like this DVD. I usually find Denise Austin too peppy, but in this tape she is friendly and encouraging, but not annoying. As always, her toning exercises are excellent. Her cuing is better than usual. And it's nice that there is a music-only option. This tape is on the easy side for an "intermediate" DVD, but that's just what I need right now since I'm getting back into exercising after a long illness. I love the new and improved Denise! - posted by Lilly on 7/24/2010

I liked it
I like this very well. I like how Denise is doing the Ballet Barre thing. She has done Pilates and Yoga for a long time now and this is nice. I used 5lb dumbbells for the upper body section. She doesn't do a ton of reps like Ellen so I can heavy up a bit. - posted by TracyAZGirl on 3/8/2010

I like this!
I'm not usually a fan of Denise's workouts but this one intrigued me. The upper and lower body are good for a day when I'm not in the mood to workout but need to do something. I especially like the abs/core section which has both standing and floor work. It's not killer but I feel pleasantly worked out when I'm done Denise looks amazing and it's hard to believe she is in her fifties! - posted by jf on 2/11/2010

Good workout!
I enjoyed this workout. It moved quickly and I really liked the moves which are ballet/pilates type moves. This workout felt good. I could feel my muscles working but it seemed to lengthen, strengthen and relax me at the same time. It could have used a nice stretch segment at the end and that would have given it 5 stars for me. It's not overly advanced but perfect for me right now. I'm not a huge fan of Denise and most of her workouts are not for me but I felt she did a great job with this one. - posted by Tammy on 2/11/2010

This is misleading..
1 set of upper body with light weights for around 12 reps.. That is considered beginner to me. The no weights for lowerbody and dance like movements are easy.. Only the ab work has some intermediate moves. I was bored and that usually never happens. - posted by Dee on 1/27/2010

Quick and an efficient workout!
I love Denise Austin and miss her shows on Life Time. I couldn't wait to buy her latest two dvds because Denise's workouts do deliver results and they're safe and effective for all fitness levels. This workout reminds me of a slower more controlled Tracy Effinger workouts, in a shorter workout but don't let these quick, slow workouts fool you! I just did this one last night and I feel my deep muscles ache! The first part of the arm segment is good and again, its like an Effinger/Anderson arm workout. The second part is a great lower body workout which you will feel your lower body muscles the next day! And, I'm an intermediate/advanced! The ab segment is so terrific which is a little pilates/yoga abs workout! You'll love these quick yet intense controlled workouts and I'm sure they will deliver results just like Denise always does, if you stick with these workouts! Love them! - posted by Vivian on 1/21/2010

So relaxing, yet thorough!
I love these workouts. Even when I think I don't have the energy to do a workout... I can do these. I love how varied each section is -- there is NO boredom, and Denise hits every muscle. She is very soothing and encouraging (not overly chipper). This is not a highly intense workout, but more dance-like and graceful. - posted by Cosima on 1/2/2010

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

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.

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.

Programmable chapters

At the beginning of your workout, you can select the exact segments you want to play that day. The DVD will then play all those segments in the order you chose.
