Denise Austin Body Makeover Mix Review

Denise Austin, the perky and ageless fitness icon known for her plethora of fitness products also holds the top spot in the fitness world as the number one fitness brand. Her latest addition to her ever growing library of workout DVDs is Denise Austin Body Makeover Mix. See video demo below.

Denise has always tried to be innovative with each new fitness video she releases, and this one features quick and effective 15 minute workouts. While these fun mini workouts are not designed for fat burning, they do build lean and toned muscle. And it’s muscle that burns fat around the clock.

Her Denise Austin Body Makeover Mix is designed to make strength training fast and easy. Denise combines the use of free weights, Pilates moves, and ballet inspired exercises to maximize results. You really can dramatically slim and sculpt your body with these three toning workouts.

Denise Austin fitness videos usually offer a fun selection of exercises you can usually modify to fit your fitness level. This video is an excellent starter DVD for those unfamiliar with resistance training. You can dive right in and start getting the results you want for a toned body that burns fat efficiently. Skip the dance workout dvd and get Denise Austin Body Makeover Mix. Adequate muscle is truly the key to fast weight loss.

Denise offers weight loss tips in most of her workout DVDs. I recommend also investing in a good Denise Austin weight loss and fitness system like her new book ‘Denise's Daily Dozen: The Easy, Every Day Program to Lose Up to 12 Pounds in 2 Weeks by Denise Austin‘, or a fan favorite like ‘Fit and Fabulous After 40: A 5-Part Program for Turning Back the Clock by Denise Austin’.

A reminder, make your weight loss and fitness goals achievable. Don’t expect unrealistic results or quick weight loss. Your goals should be based on your body type, how much weight you need to lose, your present fitness level, and your age. Be realistic and be kind to yourself for making an effort.

Avoid weight loss products promising rapid weight loss results. The human body is not designed for rapid weight loss. Keep in mind that diet alone can‘t develop your muscles or give you the sleek and sexy body you deserve. Denise’s DVDs, including Denise Austin Body Makeover Mix, provide proper exercises that promote healthy weight loss effectively and safely.

Denise Austin 3 Week Boot Camp DVD Review

Denise Austin is well known for her exercise videos. Although some people don’t cotton to her slightly too sweet style, this fitness maven has earned her stripes as one of the tigers of workout videos. This never aging fitness icon holds the top spot in the fitness world as the number one fitness brand.

Denise has released a new exercise video that turns up the heat a notch on fat burning. Her Denise Austin 3 Week Boot Camp is designed to take your fat loss to the next level. See video demo below. While most of Denise’s workout videos aid in weight loss, 3 Week Boot Camp combines cardio and strength training with athletic training to maximize results.

While a workout dvd collection is something I frequently recommend, this Denise Austin fitness video is a great selection if you can only buy one work out video this year. Skip the girly girl dance workout dvd if you’re interested in fast weight loss. And please skip the expensive and fairly ineffective weight loss pills like Alli.

Denise has a habit of incorporating weight loss tips into her workout DVDs. But if you need a more detailed weight loss program check out her new book ‘Denise's Daily Dozen: The Easy, Every Day Program to Lose Up to 12 Pounds in 2 Weeks by Denise Austin‘, or a fan favorite like ‘Fit and Fabulous After 40: A 5-Part Program for Turning Back the Clock by Denise Austin’.

Quick weight loss should not necessarily be your goal. Many weight loss products advertise rapid weight loss results, but a weight loss diet alone rarely results in rapid fat loss. A lot of what you lose is water and even valuable muscle mass. (Some people do receive faster weight loss on a very low carbohydrate diet.) Denise’s DVDs offer weight loss exercises that are effective and safe. Combined with a healthy weight loss diet, Denise’s invigorating plan delivers a tone and sexy body you’ll love.

Tony Victory Stomperobics Exercise DVD Review

If you’re looking for an exciting new way to achieve weight loss, Tony Victory’s Stomperobics is for you. Tony has designed a unique exercise video that combines high and low impact aerobic exercise that’s not just a barrel of fun, it speeds fat loss. Combined with a weight loss diet you can live with, this innovative exercise DVD will have you burning fat fast. And it appeals to everyone including the kids. See video demo below.

Based on a college tradition of dance dubbed “Stomping” Stomperobics has moves that are easily modified for every fitness level. This fat burning workout teaches you easy dance steps that are so much fun to do, you’ll have family and friends joining in. And one of the keys to fast weight loss is loving your workouts.

Many weight loss and fitness programs promise quick weight loss. But an endless litany of weight loss tips, or a lifetime supply of weight loss pills is no guarantee of fitness success. If you don’t workout, you can’t achieve a truly fit and beautiful body. Nor will an endless stream of weight loss exercises help you get fit and burn fat if you don’t like the workout videos or fitness products. You likely will stop using them and fail to achieve your goals.

Tony Victory supplies that missing element many fitness and weight loss products lack. He makes working out so much fun you want to get up and dance! And Tony is definitely easy on the eyes, ladies.

Sea Changes, Health Challenges and Foodie Fun

I haven't worked out regularly. Family illnesses, another new writing job, a change in venue in my Examiner column, and time consuming personal challenges got in the way of my doing so.

Beyond testing and writing reviews for exercise videos, I'm just doing resistance training now and then. I'm not posting reviews on all the fitness DVDs I get. Because, frankly some of the workouts, well, frankly suck. Frank should pay me for the press.

The reasons are simple for not reviewing some exercise DVDs. The host is a bore or too cheerful, or a drone. The setting is not inspirational, or doesn't apply to the workout venue. Or the exercises / workout is a rip off from other routines. Think chatting Cathy in her too neat and tidy pink and purple exercise room, or in a cheap film studio. If you're doing one more version of Taebo, kick boxing, or whatever the latest trend is at the moment, I don't need another wannabe.

By the way, Kettlebells have a flaw. It's easy to skip negative reps. This equals a lack of muscle stimulation and growth. I think Jon Benson said so in a newsletter. Read up, kiddos. I digress.

Maybe I should warn you all off these mediocre or bad exercise videos. But the titles are new and often obscure. I'm not that worried you'll end up blowing a few dollars on a so so fitness DVD and not financially survive. If your budget margin is that tight, go here, or here.

I digress. I like to.

Things are settling down somewhat now. Summer is coming and hopefully that will mean more time to devote to non essentials - like blogging!

Yes, blogging is no longer a priority. It's not that I don't want to, I really do miss it. But when writing time should be devoted to better paying projects, I have to put my freelance writing first. My Examiner column, which started with my being assigned as a "Fitness Examiner" and later the "Nutrition Examiner" is now a completely different ball of wax. I'm now the "Healthy Recipes Examiner" and I love it!

I started at Suite 101 covering diet and nutrition, but quickly moved to the Food Section. Yes, a dream has come true, I am a Food Writer! Like old times, when my son was little and I was immersed in writing cookbooks, I'm hip deep in recipes and food experiments. Yum!

(I did gain ten pounds due to lack of exercise. As a family we've been sick with allergies, colds, and other crappy conditions most of this year. But I plan to workout more and eat less carbs soon.)

God willing and the sea don't rise, I'm back to blogging as often as my schedule will allow. For now, check out my recipes at the Examiner Food Section and my recipes at Suite 101.

I Am Your New Healthy Recipes Examiner, But..

Examiner.com assigned me to the Healthy Recipes Examiner beat. And I love it. I love developing recipes and cooking as much as any vocation I've pursued. Just before I became pregnant with my son in 1999, I had completed my first self published comb bound cookbook, "Wild Man Gourmet." It did well on eBay until I pulled it when the economy dipped in 2002. eBay's fees were an obstacle with profits low.

After WMG, I went on to write and publish several more cookbooks while Bruno was a toddler. It was more than fun, it called to the creative foodie in me. So, this is a dream job for me. I'm a food writer of sorts!

But...some of my fitness reviews aren't showing up at Examiner. I don't think they purposely dropped them, they still draw traffic. My problem is my back ups are on my laptop. Her hard drive fried itself in butter one night when she mistook herself for fresh liver.

So, maybe I'll find time and re-review the good stuff here. Variety is the spice of life, especially when it comes to workouts. But I'm not making any promises.
