FOF television and DVD fitness star Denise Austin is giving away a signed copy of her just-released book Get Energy! Empower Your Body, Love Your Life plus 3 of her workout DVDs.
To enter, comment below and answer: Have you ever worked out to a fitness video? Which one?
Thank you for entering. This contest is now closed.
“Denise Austin practices what she preaches,” said legendary fitness enthusiast Jack LaLanne, who gave Denise her a first big break on his show. And it’s true… Denise works out just 30 minutes each day (“I really try to make the 30 minutes very effective and efficient because I don’t have a lot of time.”) and eats healthily but indulges a little too (“I eat well 80% of the time and have my treats 20% of the time”). In her just-released book Get Energy! Empower Your Body, Love Your Life, 53-year-old Denise Austin shares the food and fitness plan that’s allowed her to maintain her booming body and her booming business for the past 30 years.
The book has a quiz to help readers identify their own energy-zappers, a list of energy-boosting foods and guidelines on when to eat them, mini-workout routines and more.
“I wrote ‘Get Energy!’ because I meet with women all the time who ask me, ‘Denise, how do you have so much energy?'” says Denise. I compiled the tips and stretches that I use throughout the day to stay energized and fit!
Denise’s workout bible has already received glowing reviews: “Denise Austin makes the Energizer Bunny look lethargic,” wrote People magazine editors. “Denise Austin probably could motivate a statue,” said a review in the Chicago Tribune.

Linda Chapman says:
Yes, it was the Billy Blanks Tae Bo VCR tapes..wow so long ago!!
Debbie says:
In 1991 I was on the TOPPS(Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and wanted to do aerobics and toning exercises. Between your tapes and Richard Simmmons I lost 43 pounds in a year and 1/2. I have since decided to get off the roller coaster of gaining and loosing. I am going on a lifetime change of only organic, no preservatives and additives and no growth hormones. Everything natural and will be looking for a tape to exercise to. The main reason for this change is my health because I have so many disesases and chronic disorders that I know now are from all of the above. I will also lose weight but what I really want to do is tone up what I have. Looking forward to your daily newsletters and exercises, oh yes and the recipes. I know with the change in diet and one or two of your tapes I will conquer these ailments and I will have a lot better second half of my life.
Sarah Gilmore says:
Yes, I have worked out to many a video. Denise Austins is just one. I have also tried Richard Simmons and Leslie Sansome. One to breth, to stretch and even do facersze. It’s the sticking with it part that’s tricky. Any suggestions? I have a new knee now so some things I am not allowed to do.

Have used many fitness videos – several of the Tae Bo – yoga – Denise Austin’s yoga – 10 minute fitness fix – Zumba. Love them all.

I have lots of videos and DVD’s which I have worked out with over the years-now trying to lost that last 20 lbs that wont come off for my son’s wedding this August
Vickie Davis says:
I bought several of Denise Austin’s workout videos. I love them all. It took a while to actually get into a routine of exercising. Right now, I’m exercising to Bootcamp. But I have also done The Daily Dozen (12 min ea.) and the Body Firm Up (20 min ea for upper body, lower body and abs). I love her book the Daily Dozen and also walk 2 miles a day. Since 12/23 I have lost 7 lbs!! I am now 51 and need to lose 50 more, but I’m sure I can do it with Denise’s videos. I love working out at home.
Lynn Marsh says:
I’m sorry to say that I honestly have not tried the DVD’s. I have always gone to the gym to work out. I like the live interaction and the ability to change the routine. It’s worked out well for me, but I am going on a trip, shortly, it would be nice to do when the gym isn’t available
Beth says:
I have an VCR tape old Fit and Forty! Leslie (can’t think of her last name. Still good even though I’ve had it 20 years am now 60! Have a new Yoga dvd of Denises’ but haven’t tried it yet.

Lindi says:
Started out with Jane Fonda Vid’s many moons ago, then Raquel Welch Yoga and then Denise’s Pilates and Buns Vid’s. I exercised with Denise for YEARS on Lifetime. Every morning!!! Remember your spine is your life line…and we’re burning butter now!! 🙂
Julie says:
I have used many – Jane Fonda, Denise Austin, Richard Simmons, Leslie Sansone to name a few. I’m 52 and working on getting in better shape!
Diane Reich says:
I began working out to Jane Fonda’s workout on a record! Since then, I have worked out to other of Jane’s videos in addition to those of Tony Little, Billy Blank’s Tae Bo, Deborah Crocker’s SuperBody, Margaret Richard’s Knockout Workout, Cher Fitness, Tamilee Web’s Abs of Steel and Pregnancy Workout, and Denise Austin’s Pilates. I currently use the Denise Austin Personal Training DVD and love the flexibility to create different workouts.
Jennifer Barela says:
The first time I really used a workout video and stuck to a workout plan was a little over two years ago. I saw a commercial for the Get Fit Daily Dozen and thought I would give it a try. A daily workout of 12 minutes seemed easy enough. So I bought the DVD and easy it was not. I was sweating like crazy. I was able to lose weight and trim inches off my body. I have since puchased and utilized four more Denise Austin DVDs. I truly love you, Denise. You are such an inspiration and a part of my everyday life. Thank you!
Marigrace Hight says:
I love working out to Denise Austin’s videos. Cardio and palates is my favorite. Her online website makes losing weight so easy and educational. Thank you Denise!
Marilee says:
I have a few, but I love working out to your workouts I recorded off Lifetime a few years ago. I appreciate how encouraging you are. Now that I am in a new place and have struggled to settle in I have let exercise go by the wayside until the past few weeks. Today a friend and I broke out the Video tape and worked up a great sweat. Looking forward to loosing a few pounds and shaping up before my surgery in a couple of weeks. I’m so excited you have new products out, I would love to have them in my home.
Carol Wright says:
Working out to fitness videos is my main way of staying in shape – and Denise’s are my favorites! I started with her “Ultimate Fat Burner” in VHS years ago – and my collection now includes Blast Away Walk,Blast away 10 lbs, Power Zone, Cardio Blast, Personal Training, Boot Camp! Working out with Denise has changed my body and my life! I’m so thankful for her faithful commitment to helping us be “Fit and Fabulous!” (I’ve got her books too!!! Thanks Denise!
Traci Reynolds says:
I have done alot of your dvd’s and worked out with you while you were on Tv you are so inspirational to me :o)
Missy says:
I am 37 years old and I have been working out with Denise Austin for about 15 years. I have the Blast away 10lbs., Boot Camp, Pilates, Hit the Spot Pilates. I have two children and with each pregnancy I gained 50lbs but Denise along with good eating habits I was able to lose the weight.
thanks
Missy Anzivino
Debbie Kneen says:
I have done many DVDs for many years including 3-week Bootcamp and Daily Dozen.
Kathryn says:
LOL! Have I worked out to “A” fitness video? I just went to my shelves & counted: I have 12 Denise Austin videos that I switched through using daily for years, as well as Zumba from 2002 (before the current craze where people seem to have just discovered it!), Tae Bo, WW fitness, & of course The BellyTwins. Sadly, all but a few of the Belly Twins’ are VHS, from nearly 10 years ago, in my 40s, before I grew so tired I couldn’t exercise anymore. When doc finally checked my thyroid as I’d asked for 3 years & diagnosed me Hypothyroid, it took a couple years to figure out that Synthroid wasn’t helping. I still haven’t found doctor to take me seriously & look for real cause of constant fatigue & no energy to exercise (all think I’m just middle-aged woman who eats too much & won’t exercise & won’t admit it); in last 3 years have managed to make it to Ballroom Dance lessons w/husband, but still not up to fitness videos. Follow Denise Austin, still, though; I find her a true inspiration, & will definitely be checking into the new book!
Vickie says:
I have worked out with your dvd’s. Probably all of them at one point. Now I’m about to turn 50 and out of shape! Need your help!
janis monachina says:
I have lots of videos and dvd’s- dating back at least 14 years…pilates was my fave, but now I have bootcamp (2 of them) and yoga. Need the pilates again but it was a video and my machine ate it! I love you- your attitude and style and you are my daily inspiration on your daily emails! I just read fabulous after 40 but need to catch up on all of your new books too! xo
Gayle Jaya Precht says:
I have been using workout DVDs (at first I used Tapes) for many years. That is how I keep in shape and workout when I am not teaching cardio,step,weight training and yoga. At 58 years old,I can say I am in better shape than the college students I teach. To work out at home is convenient,easy and there is no need to get all dressed up to workout,you are in the privacy of your own home. I have to honestly say my favorite DVDs I use at least once a week are Denise Austin’s Boot Camp and Fat Burning Dance Mix. I love her yoga DVDs as well. They are the best !!!
Tracy Martinez says:
I’ve tried to workout with a videos and fittv, but doesn’t seem like it energizes me like Denise Austin. I use to watch her on Fittv back in 1994, when I was pregnent with my first child. I would always wake up for her sections. She made my day and afterwards I was energize throughtout the day. That’s why I would love to “Get Energy” with Denise Austin, she will always be an insperation for me….
Rose Knight says:
I work out to fitness videos all the time–90% of them are Denise Austin DVDs..I have at least 10 different ones. Am currently in week 2 of the new Shrink Your Fat Zones Pilates along with the Walk a Mile. I really like the fat-blasting Yoga and 3 week boot camp. I am 55 and am working out and still need to lose weight. Thanks Denise.
Allene Lee says:
Yes, I haved worked out with with a video of Denise Austin and loved itand exercised regularly with her on lifetime,I am 66 yrs. old and love exercise. She is awesome!!
Wanda Miley says:
Yes, I have worked out to many fitness videos. I have quite a few Denise Austin videos even dating way back which I still use and enjoy. I always seem to be do better with yours and stick with them more easily than with others.
Donna Gaudet says:
I used to enjoy working out with Denise Austin when she was on Lifetime every morning. I really missed the show when it was taken off the air. So, naturally, I had to do the next best thing!! I went out and bought Denise’s Personal Training System. I really like it because you can customize your workouts. It makes exercising fun!
Sherry says:
I have a number of Denise’s work-out videos and a few others too. Also have one of her books. Love Denise’s drive and spirit!
Derr says:
Grew up doing It’s Your Body! With my mom! Now I do Denise A’s yoga
Cindy Hennessy says:
Have worked out to many of Denise’s videos…1 of my favorite being the Country Line Dance. But have tried others by numerous others.
Donna says:
Yes, I have work out with Denise’s fitness videos. I am 55 and in the last 6 year I have hurt my neck and lower back. I have a difficult time doing fast paced movements, or movement that jar my neck. Right now I have Blast away 10 lbs, Personal Training System, and Fat-Burning Dance Mix. I have had many others in the past, but it is hard to use them in my condition.
Juli says:
Actually I have worked out to one of your older videos, can’t recall the name, it was for the core! 🙂 You are an awsome motivator!
Theresa Brower says:
I have worked out to Denise Austin videos for the past 20 years. “Super Stomachs” was my first. I still have this and it works great!
I learned how to do Pilates with her mat based workout and spent a summer getting so many compliments:) I love all her workouts and her high energy!
Thanks and Keep Going Denise!!!
Marla Green says:
I don’t own any fitness dvd’s, but have watched Denise’s fitness show when it was shown in the mornings and she sure is a motivator. I would love to win her fitness dvd’s, and her book as well. Thanks.
Judith Huffine says:
I have worked out with Denise on videos and dvds for many years, but at 68 I’m tired. I have walked 4 miles (down to 2 miles now) 5days, done total body with weights 3 days and abs 2 days. I would like a program that I will do now. I’ve stopped working out for about a month, and I really feel guilty.
Shawnna Medlar says:
Yes. I have tried several different ones. After my son was born, I tried your Pregnancy Workout to get back in shape and have been hooked ever since. I like the 30 minute workouts as they fit into my schedule as a single mom. I love strength training and cardio combined. You keep me motivated to workout even on the days I have no energy!! Would love to read your book!!!
Mike Trenshaw says:
Yes I have worked out with Tae Bo videos. I would appreciate a little less testosterone in the presenter though. I would love to try yours!
Sarah says:
I have many of your dvd’s and they have helped me get back to my pre-baby body! I love them and I have to stop buying them and work with the ones that I have. You truley are an amazing, very inspirational traininer, your comments on FB are amazing.
Thank you for all your efforts!

Yes, I have worked out to fitness videos. I work out to Denise’s DVDs, as well as Zumba and Leslie Sansone. It allows me to workout first thing in the morning and not have to worry about getting to the gym 🙂
Connie says:
Yes I have always used your Hit the Spot videos.I also enjoy your beginers Yoga video.
Suzanne Connell says:
I am currently working out to Denise’s new Quick Burn Cardio video and I really enjoy it. Since I started using Denise’s videos in May 2010 and modifying my diet, I have lost about 20 pounds.
lori hubbell says:
Step and Tone
Edie Potts says:
I have worked out to many videos :Denise Austin (I have a library of your videos, even the one when you were pregnant), Joanie Greggains (Ultimate Buns),Abs of Steel,Body & Soul Fitness,Leslie Sansone The In Home Walking Series, Stephanie Huckabee’s Power Fit, Susan Powder’s Stop The Insanity, Victoria Johnson, Gilad,Margaret Richards,The Firm(I have the whole library, Jane Fonda.I love how YOU motivate & encourage us and tell us to give ourselves a “pat on the back!” I do!!!! 🙂
Lori says:
A better question is, which fitness dvd HAVEN’T you worked out to? Being over 50, I have used numerous ones but probably the most in terms of quantity that I have are Denise’s. (Though I confess I still have Jane Fonda’s in my library too.) I just enjoy the wide range of workout options afforded to me by Denise.
Aesha says:
Yes! Shrink Your Female Fat Zones is my favorite. I also like Pilates and Burn Fat Fast.
donna says:
I have every Denise Austin Video and do them daily!
Krissy Apps says:
I love working out to at-home Videos and Fitness programs on TV. I’ve worked out to several episodes of “Denise Austin’s Daily Workout” when on Lifetime, as well as to several shows on FitTV courtesy via DirectTV. I love Gilad’s Total Body Workout, plus enjoy any Yoga program as well. For videos, I’ve worked out to Gunther’s Total Body workout, Kardashian’s Fit in Your Jeans, and Abs Diet Workout DVD.
Though I go to a gym, sometimes working out at home is more effective and convenient- especially with the assistance of a great workout program or video. It’s the benefit of having a Trainer in your living room.
sharon meriash says:
Yes I have. I use them to fill in between dance classes and the gym. Just turned 50 and have always admired Denise’s career and love her positive info. Would love to be as fab as she! Thanks!
Susan Streight says:
i have bought tons of workout videos throughout my life. Everything from walking, resistance band videos from Gold’s Gym, weightwatcher workout videos, and many,many others. I do well at first then I lose interest or they are just too difficult for me to follow. The older I get I need something suited for my age(55) that is easy enough for me to follow and keep my interest. In the past year I have lost 100 pounds but still need to lose another 125. I need something to help me build strength and tone, while still providing card! Help!!!!
Teresa Golba says:
I have almost all of your videos. My newest ones are the 12 minute videos-one for each day; and the 15 minute videos-3 of them.
I also do Zumba via video.
I don’t like gyms. I prefer the privacy and convenience of working out in my own home.
You’re my idol. I like your attitude, your calmness, patience and praise!
Becky says:
I have worked out mostly with Denise’s tapes, Hit the spot Abs, Anti-Aging Baby Boomers and Xtralite beginners Aerobics. These are great, but would like some new Dvd ones like the Pilates. Denise is great and really motivates me, I am 57 and still need to lose 25 lbs. I am working at it daily. Would love the new book and Dvd’s.
Karen Boothe says:
I have worked out with Yoga Buns, Lose your female fat zones, Pilates for every body, Fat Burner and I have tapes that I recorded from your show on Lifetime that I use with the step. I would love to have more and a copy of your new book! You have been my personal trainer since the 1980’s.
Thanks for keeping me inspired!
Barb Pucser says:
Yes, I have worked out to many fitness videos. Out of all, I would have to say yours are the ones that motivate me most because of the way you talk to us and encourage us. I never thought I would like kickboxing, but your rather oldes kickboxing video is great! I also have many cardio and strength ones by you and pilates and yoga ones. Keep up the great work! You are my inspiration!
Justine DeRuvo says:
I have worked out with several of your videos.. But, my absolute favorite was your show on life time.. Was very sad when it ended..
Jessica Delashmit says:
Yes, I have worked out to fitness video’s. My favorite is Denise Austin’s 12 excercie in 12 mins. But I recently started with her Yoga, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and told I should try doing Yoga. Denise Austins positive attitude helps me get through my day!! Thank you Denise!!
Laura Andrson says:

Lisa Cruse says:
I am not over 50, but would love to win this so I can be fab over 50!!!!!
Claudia Lasiter says:
Hello. Yes, I worked out with you daily when you were on TV. I like that format because it is fresh and you didn’t do the same thing every day. I liked the places you went, too like Sedona and Turks and Caicos. Beautiful. Now, I mostly work out with Exercise TV or Demand Fitness online. It’s not as much fun. I used to tell people, “Denise is my friend. She believes in me!” I liked your tips, too about eating and nutrition.
Jody Fielder says:
Yes I have worked out to your Getting Fit shows and to the DVD’s of Denise Austin 10 5 minutes Target Toners and to the Denise Austin Dance Mix that I absolutely love, I have lost 180 lbs working out with Denise Austin, was featured in First magazine with Denise’s article back in the May 2010 issue. I also have the Daily Dozen book that I just love, thank you Denise for all your motivation and inspiration to change my life to a healthier me!!

I have worked out with several different fitness videos, from Jane Fonda to Susan Powter to Jillian Michaels…I always seem to be finding a new workout, as I get bored doing the same one over and over again….I now have the Dance video on the Wii which I love!
Christine says:
I have worked out with Kathy Smith.
Patti says:
Right now I am hooked on the Wii Fit. However I do have many exercise videos, and I do (rare lately) alternate them. I would love to have any help from Denise Austin. After all, she is one of us – an FOF! I think she is awesome, and I lover her spirit and energy. My hero!
Sunn ymay says:
I’ve worked out to plenty of fitness videos including Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds, David Dorian Ross Tai Chi, Richard Simmons Sweating to the Oldies,
AM/PM Callenetics, Denise Austin Ultimate Fat Burner and a bookshelf full of her other tapes and other exercise videos and DVD’s and walking cassette tapes and CD’s.
Carol Catto says:
I have not but would like to try. I did watch fitness shows on TV and worked out with them. I use to love Jack LaLanne
Ruby says:
Hello Denise,
I worked out to an Aerobic video that really gave me a good workout, maybe too good, Strip Aerobics, I couldn’t remember the name, but my husband enjoyed
watching me workout.

Glenda Steffee says:
My first Denise Austin tape (vhs) was “Stretch and Flex” and it was just perfect for a 250 lb post-pregnancy attempt at getting fit. Now, at 57, I’ve just finished putting together my first home gym and I’ve included a portable DVD player so I can still do my Denise Austin routines without needing to shove the furniture around in the den so I can use the TV.
Debbie says:
Kathy Smith….many walking to fitness videos.
Karen says:
I have work out to a video + DVD.
I like doing that .
annalene says:
nope, i haven’t (i just do cardio at the gym) but i would like to try!
Marcy says:
One of Jane Fonda’s…what can I say…need to get with the program…
Marcy says:
One of Jane Fonda’s…what can I say…need to get with the program!
lechant says:
I have worked out to a fitness video before. core fitness even used to exercise on cable when Denise Austin was airing. I still have one or two but I do not feel like I have the energy to initiate the exercise. If you have some pointers I would appreciate it. Getting to that age group coupled with HTN and overweight where exercise has to be a daily part of your life.
Diane says:
I did Jane Fonda videos and also Denise Austins…
debio says:
YES, I’VE WORKED OUT TO CINDY CRAWFORD, RICHARD SIMMONS, AN OLD JANE AUSTIN MY DAUGHTER HAD AND THE NEWER ZUMBA.
Susan P. says:
A long time ago I worked out to a Jane Fonda video I checked out from the library but I don’t usually work out to videos.
Diane says:
I work out with a Wii Fit.
Jeanne says:
I do a workout video almost every night. It is more convenient than heading to a gym. I love both the FIRM workouts and the Jillian Michaels DVDs. I have never done a workout and wished I had just sat around on my butt instead!
Sandra Crispo says:
Many years ago when my children were little every morning used to watch a ti chi class on TV and do the exercises, was very focused and helped make the day more centered and relaxed. Also in 2006 had a series of work out videos to follow first at a united way clinic then at home after having a stint put in one of my by passes (quadruple done in 2002) and was very helpful in recovery.
Viktoriya Kim says:
I dont’ have any but would love to have this one to get energy 🙂
Vicki says:
I have not ever worked out to a fitness video, but I think it would be a fantastic way to work out – anytime I am available! I have worked out to Richard Simmons on TV when I was home on maternity leave with my daughter. What I really need is motivation and it sounds like Denise Austin is full of that!
Mary says:
I have worked out to a fitness video, but it was long ago and I do not remember which one it was.
Would love to have more along with Denise Austin’s book. I could sure use more energy.
Tina says:
In the 80s I went through a phase of just workout videos on days when I didn’t use the Soloflex. The two I used to workout to the most were Greg Smithey’s Buns of Steel and Tamilee Webb”s Thighs of Steel. I used some other Tamilee videos but cannot remember the names. Callanetics with Callan Pinckney was challenging for me. I used other videos I don’t remember as well that did all over workouts in 30-45 minutes. I also continued into the 90s with Tae Bo and some yoga videos. Now I occassionally do a pilates video or a yoga video. My hectic schedule only leaves time for the stationary bike or exercising with hand weights these days. I would love to read the book written by a woman my exact age and would definitely make time for the videos since she just works out 30 minutes a day.
Carina Ljungqvist says:
I have worked out to various fitness videos, or fitness programs on TV but nothing steady. I don’t even remember which ones. Would love something that could give me more energy, something I think a lot of us Fabs Over Fifty need.
Cynthia says:
I worked out to The Firm videos and Denise on TV. Denise is the best as she explains clearly and demonstrates proper movement. I just hate those that assume everyone on the planet already knows their choreography and go charging full speed ahead … without you. Then I joined a gym. Now I’ve quit smoking (yay!), gained weight, moved and spend 2 hours daily commuting, have no time for any gym, started menopause, gained more and really NEED Denise’s videos! Help!
angela says:
I’ve tried some stretching & spot toning videos that really didn’t work. I’ve watched the Denise Austin exercise shows on cable in the past & liked them. I would love to read the book & try the videos.
Patricia Assanowicz says:
No I have not worked out to any fitness video. I thought about ordering a few times, and honestly I did watch Denise Austin’s info commerical a few times. She is an expert on the subject of fitness and I know I would benefit from her video, I work out daily and there are some parts like my abs or legs that I have a problem figuring out what I am not isolating. Yes I would love to work out with her video, OK, it is time to stop procrastinating and work out with the best, so yes I do hope to add this to my work out, Thank you.
Jackie Barham says:
I have worked out to Yoga and Palates Videos, but, I don’t remember the names of them.
doreen hicks says:
I used to work out with Denise Austin when she had a show a while ago. There was also a gentlemen on TV I believe after her show. He worked out on the beach in Hawaii. They were both very motivating and kept me on my toes.
sherie says:
yes, i have worked out to a workout video…but it has been soooo many years ago that i don’t remember which one it was. maybe jane fonda!! yeah, i think it was hers. thats been years ago!! sure which i could get started again. i sure can use anything at this point to get going again. i have no energy at all these days. mylupus and fibromyalgia is kicking my butt these days and i know i need to get some exercise in. just something that doesn’t trigger it off even worse. hope i win this book and maybe i can get my energy back!!
mabrei says:
Yes, I have worked out to a Richard Simmons’ fitness video.
It was a lot of fun and the great music motivated movement.
katie says:
I’ve work out to a lot including Cindy Crawford
Dorothy says:
Yes I use to do the Firm series. They were difficult to follow and inconvenient because you had to change the tape not a core workout but individual target zone videos.
Barb Mazzara says:
I love fitness DVDs–so convenient. I love Kickin’ with Country by Denise, along with other peppy encouragers like Richard Simmons, Donna Richardson & Victoria Johnson. I would love to update my collection with new DVDs from Denise & her book would be an awesome energy booster.
Kai W. says:
It was years ago when I work out with a video. I really didn’t see any results. I should have known that the video was too easy. If it is easy with out the hard work, it doesn’t work.
Becky says:
Yes, Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons.
Richard’s was more peppy and fun.
Denise looks fantastic! She knows what she is doing.
Joanne Vicente says:
I’ve worked out to many videos through the years. Most recently, I was very much into Zumba. I’ve been quite ill for a few months, and the doctors tell me yoga would be far more suitable as I recover. I’d definitely be thrilled to receive this prize and get back in shape!
Edie says:
Years ago to Richard Simmons and Denise Austin. Am now chronically ill and would love to win Denise’s book. i need lots of tips on gaining some energy!
Toni Roessler says:
OMG! I have worked out to many videos- starting with Jane Fonda’s work outs in the eighties, and yes, I had similar outfits as hers. I have had so many more videos such as cardios, strength training and pilates and yoga. I have used Denise’s older videos, but I could use a few new ones.
Darlene says:
I love my exercise videos! I have about five of Denise Austin’s videos, and ten or so FIRM videos. Gotta stay healthy and strong!
Catherine Davis says:
I own several and have never done anything with them besides zoom through to see what they were all about and then not doing anything about it! I would love to have one that would make me want to get up and join the fun!
valerie says:
Stop the Insanity! Great workout by the way!
Janice Knezevich says:
I have exercised to several Tony Little videos. Years ago I bought a series of audio’s from Denise Austin on losing weight, loved them.
Elyse says:
I worked out to videos dating back Callenetics to The Firm to The Bar Method.
Regina Wiget says:
I’ve have the old Richard Simmons but I don’t use them much any more I need some Energy to get me started
Marilyn says:
Yes the Zumba one on the the TV infomercial.
Jean Burkhardt says:
I used a VHS tape a very long time ago but I hate to admit it’s been a long time. Maybe this book will inspire me to make this the time to lose it and keep it off!
Darlene says:
No I have never worked out in a video.
marilyn says:
I used to work out to Buns of Steel…..and I even watched Denise Austin’s exercises on some morning show years ago.
cathy aldinger says:
Years ago I worked out all the time to Jane Fonda videos. It has been a long journey since then.
Joan Santa Cruz says:
Oh yes, but I need help now! Past workouts were with Jack LaLanne, Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda. However, that has been some time ago and I surely need to exercise again to get my energy back! Thanks for the opportunity!
Cate says:
No, but I’d like to!
Annamarie Dodge says:
as a matter of fact, yes i have, i work out to several of denise austins videos that i have in my library
Myrla says:
Yes, I have….I have worked out to The Firm several years ago….nothing lately…..but I should!!!
Sue says:
I’ve tried Kathy Smith “Step Aerobics” and Richard Simmons
“Sweatin’ to the Oldies”. I’ve seen Denise’s DVD’s (a friend of mine has a couple), and I would LOVE to win them. I need all the help I can get!!!
Joni says:
I have a stack of exercise videos which I have worked out to in the past. I used to be able to do the more strenuous ones, but now that I’m over 50, I’m finding they are a little bit too high impact for me. So, I have been doing some that are more tailored to my current fitness level like the old Elle McPherson/Karen Voight video. I still have my VHS player which I need for it. It’s nice stretching/warming up, cardio, strength training, abs and cool down/stretching plus nice scenery in Hawaii. I have never tried any videos by Denise, but would absolutely LOVE to!
Jan says:
Years ago, when my children were very young, I used workout videos which were mostly Jane Fonda but some Richard Simmons. Now I go to the gym four days a week. Lucky for me, a year before I retired, a new Planet Fitness opened up two minutes away. Even with hitting the gym and eating well, I could definitely use tips and pointers on how to stay energized!!
Kimberly says:
Yes, Hip Hop Abs and Pilates.
Pamrla Wood says:
I have worked out to Denise’s video’s, Jane Fonda’s and many, many others. It has been so long ago I can’t remember the names of them all. The past few years I have been walking at least thirty minutes a day, eating fairly healthy and using weights to tone up. I would love to win Denise’s new book and videos. She is a great inspiration to us all.
Paula Kos says:
I have not worked out with video tape since the 80’s! I want my leg warmers back…….
Patricia says:
Workout videos that I used are: jane fonda (the first fitness guru); buns of steel and a few yoga tapes (whose names escape me at the moment)
Patricia
Ann says:
I have not ever worked out to a fitness video. I used to waitress and did not need to work out. Now I am disabled and have a tough time getting a good attitude and energy level.
ellilou says:
John Schumacher’s yoga DVD’s are challenging, but super rewarding.
lise says:
Yes, I use them at least once a week. I have a Denise Austin Hit the Spot Core; Billy Blanks TaeBo, a step video that came with my step and Pilates Weight Loss for Dummies.
Cynthia Madsen says:
Callanetics is my staple-the power of isometrics is amazing!
beth w says:
i worked out with richard simmons and sweatin’ to the oldies until my husband came in and made fun of it and me…gotta love richard though, he is like the energizer bunny…he just keeps going and going and going…
Ginger McLendon says:
Years ago I did occasionally work out to a video, but I no idea what it/they might have been–way too much time gone by.
Cheryl says:
Richard Simmon’s Dancing to the Oldies — doesn’t feel like a workout!!
pat says:
I used towork out with the Tae Bo tapes, but that’s all.
joe deater says:
nope never worked out to one unless you count a warren miller ski videi then my heart rate surely went up!
Mary Ellen Davison says:
I did work out to “Sweating with the Oldies”, but found going to aerobic classes in the ’80s more beneficial.
Paula says:
Yoga videos, tap, the barre method, walk it out, too many to list!
Valorie says:
January – the time for change, positive change. I’m a travel nurse – not necessarily the healthyest job (we preach it but don’t always live it.) 2011 – my year to change!
Esther says:
Years ago I used exercise videos & enjoyed them.
Mary Ellen Davison says:
I’m a Nana over fifty and wondered about trying Yoga, I would love to win this book, and read the advantages of Yoga.

I love her, she give’s great motivation and looks FAB !
Carol says:
I used to work out to Denise, at home all the time, then got into yoga and started going to studio’s for my workouts. Would like to get back to SOME at home DVD workouts again, and see what has changed over the years.
Hannah B. says:
I have to admit, I used to use the Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons ones in my youth and I even used some of Denise Austin’s first videos! (“Rock Hard Tummies”, anyone? lol)
suzi says:

A few. Richard Simmons, Denise Austin and Brenda Dygraff! I even have a Tony (HSN)!
Gina P says:
I have worked out to a ton of workout DVDs. The latest one came in the mail yesterday…”How To Look Better Naked”. Luckily it doesn’t call for doing the workout in the nude!!
Cindy says:
I do exercise videos all the time. I am 56 (57 on the 25th of Jan.) and love them. Actually, I have just started on Leslie Sansone’s Power Walking videos but have done Kathy Smith and others. The library is just full of different ones. I have also done some of Jackie whatever, too. The only problem I really have is not so much weight but toning. Loose flesh is ON ME! lol

Yes, I once had many Jane Fonda tapes on Betamax!
