Certified instructor description: A mix of Pilates and classic toning led by an experienced, super-energetic instructor. Each segment features exercises that target specific body areas: abs, upper body and lower body. Denise’s cuing is clear and motivating. She always shows you exactly what to do and why (“this will get rid of that muffin top”). The abs section is true Pilates matwork. It uses a towel to assure correct positioning while boosting the intensity. The upper and lower-body segments emphasize traditional toning exercises like push-ups, bicep curls, squats and side-lying leg lifts (done in a fluid, “Pilates-style” format). Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2010. DVD has: Programmable chapters, Wide screen, Close captions, Region 1.

Denise Austin's Shrink Your Fat Zones Pilates
Shrink Your Fat Zones
Hey, I'm all about shrinking any fat zone, this workout definitely helps and is fun to boot! Love Denise, have lots of her videos and will continue to use them plus add to my "fat drop" theater. BTW, love her workout buddies. - posted by Sunnie on 4/6/2012

Love it!
I just love this DVD. I am not a big fan of traditional pilates but I love this one. If you pair two segments for a nice 30 minute workout you will feel great afterward. The next day you "feel" it - in a good way! - posted by Jennifer on 1/20/2012

Nice Pilates Fusion Workout
College has done a good job describing this dvd as a mix of pilates and traditional exercises, which I like. If your a pilates purist you won't like this one though. I particularly enjoy the ab toning as I feel the towel helps add some intensity while also helping me keep my form better. Highly recommended. - posted by Elaine on 9/5/2011

This video is good for short workouts
This video is good for short workouts. Easy to follow directions. Especially like it because of the workout time for each segment. Can do a segment in the morning before getting ready for work - posted by Robin on 8/15/2011

Fantastic workout
Denise Austin makes a workout fun. She is so motivating! She explains everything and it's perfect because I am not so familiar with Pilates. As a 46 year old healthy woman, I sure intend to stay healthy by exercising. I really enjoy this Pilates workout. - posted by NYDame on 7/10/2011

bring back your older workouts
I like Denise - especially her older videos, lower body, total body, hit the spot series and some others she produced w/ weights. IMO this one here was a waste of my money and time. the segments are barely 15 minutes and she just gets started on 1 exercise and after 5 to 8 reps she moves to another. I'm like hold on here we didn't even work the muscle we just started to focus on. Please target the muscle and do more reps & sets. i don't see how anyone could firm and tone their body with this workout. I wish Denise would revive some of her older workouts but in a more current version. - posted by carol on 6/23/2011

great dvd
Love this dvd - I'm 53 and in reasonable shape....it's challenging but not so hard that I don't want to try it again to get better at it each time,....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 a lot of time I pick and choose what I need. - posted by mlenaie on 6/12/2011

Not Enough Demonstration
The video segments move at a fast pace. I wish Denise had given more demonstrations of the poses for first-time users. Her cuing was also not sufficient for me. I'm sure if I can learn to do the poses, they will be very beneficial in toning and shrinking fat zones. - posted by Sharon on 3/15/2011

Denise Austin Shrink Your Fat Zones Pilates
I really enjoy Denise Austin's workouts. So when I got this dvd, I was happy. The moves are very easy to follow and Denise makes it fun. Her cueing is good, the reminders on form is good, and so is the pace of the workouts. You just need to remember that each of the segments are 15 minutes. It's nice if you are short on time. The only thing I wished there was more of is reps. Maybe pause and add more reps if you wish. They are effective moves and ones that you don't see often. I would totally recommend this dvd! - posted by Mary on 2/22/2011

like it but very easy
I like this workout, but it is very easy. I would call it simply "beginner" level. It also has a lot of stretching in addition to the toning. It's good for a light "feel good" workout. - posted by Barb on 2/20/2011

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.

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Region 1

This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.
