Star,
We will probably be the only two commenters as she seems to be hated here for some reason! But, I, honestly, don’t think people give her enough credit! When she first started putting out videos, I found old posts of people poo pooing her fitness! ! I have to laugh because I am sure she could have demolished 99.9% of people fitness wise at that time (probably still could)! I once saw a special of how these top gymnasts train and their strength is INSANE!!!! So, I think she deserves some respect for being relatable! Actually, maybe she was too relatable as people never even realized just how fit and strong she truly was!! Haha As I have gotten older, I appreciate her cheerleading as I’m not always motivated to work out. So, it’s nice to hear that “I’m doing great and she is proud of me”!! Her Hot Body Yoga, Yoga Booty lift, and Fat Blasting yoga are my staples right now (but I have used most of her workouts in the past as well just never focused on them). I have tried so many workouts from so many different instructors and I can’t believe how strong and toned I am getting from these! It’s truly mind blowing! In fact, after just doing these workouts, I went on an 8 mile hike with lots of elevation spikes (I’m in New England so it’s hilly!) at a fast clip and was completely fine. So, it’s even helping my cardio endurance!! I have zero aches and pains. My balance and flexibility have really improved. I wish I had focused on them earlier!! But, live and learn, right! |

Thank you for her background information. I had no idea.
She was one of my first instuctors, along with Kathy Smith, Leslie Sansone, and Cori Everson (a decade-themed step workout). I always come away in a better mood, and boast to my husband that she was "Proud of me" - again.

That's great! Hiking is hard!!
Her caribbean show was one of the first workouts I did. Her and Cynthia kerluk. I loved them both! I recently acquired hot body yoga! I'll put it on next week's schedule! Helen, it's nice to be encouraged like she does us! |

Helen, I agree completely!! Working out should be fun and she makes it fun with her words of encouragement!
Star, you will love Hot Body Yoga...especially the second workout! Similarly, Yoga Booty Lift is actually my favorite. It's a complete total body workout so the title is misleading so you should check that one out too!!! I should add.....I don't work out to change my appearance. Actually, I am anti-diet and extremely comfortable in my bigger body. So, for me to have my body really firm up with these workouts was surprising and definitely not expected! It's the mental health boost, strength, flexibility, balance, and aerobic endurance that I aim for and the rest is gravy! |

I don’t think anyone here hates Denise. I’m sure she’s very fit. She seems very sincere and she looks great. I have a few of her workouts that I enjoy, but she’s not one of my favorites. Not every instructor is going to appeal to every exerciser. And I do think her cuing is terrible, but I certainly don’t hate her.

What Instructor do you not care for? Oh, the shame-I like Denise Austin? Does ANYONE like Denise Austin? She definitely is not popular here! But, maybe things have changed and people do not despise her as much anymore...hope so!! |
