This is one of Denise's great DVD's.I have done other Pilates DVD's of hers, and this one is right up there.It is a bit advanced for me, which is great.I want to challenge my core.This is broken up into a few short workouts, and a bonus challenge; it can always be done in it's entirety.I have days when I want to use the whole DVD for my day's workout; there are days, however, when I want to use one segment for part of my day's workout.
Denise's cues are as always great.However, she, her voice rather, can grate on one's nerves.I like Denise, though, because she emphasizes certain important factors in her workouts.
The setting is beautiful, and as always, Denise looks great, (and asks for a smile:-).The music is nice.
Part of the time, she is cuing another partner on the set, and other times she is by herself.I found this a bit quirky. Her outfits are so cute, and she has a different one for each segment.
The segments progressively get more difficult, so one can adjust.I can't do the "teaser?" ("V" position) very well. However, she makes it easier by having you get you to recline first and ease into it.This is a very important Pilates move.Very deep into core muscles.
I feel as though I picked the right Pilates DVD.
Rating: - Great Pilates DVD
This is the first time I tried Pilates.I wanted a routine that would be challenging enough to render results, yet easy enough to keep me motivated.What's great about this Denise Austin's "Hit The Spot Pilates" is that you can customize your workout program in the comfort of your home and you don't need any extra equipment.Whether you are just getting started with Pilates or consider yourself an expert, Denise Austin's "Hit The Spot Pilates" is a very effective home Pilates exercise routine.The DVD is divided into two segments: 1) The Abs and Waist Line, which consists of three 10 minute work out routines. These techniques will help you define your abs, trim your waist and improve your posture.2)The Lower Body: Hips, Thighs and Buttocks, which includes three 10 minute workouts, each zeroing in on each body section.
Denise is a very articulate and vivacious; her bubbly personality and enthusiasm keeps you motivated.I've gotten great results in a very short time and I highly recommend this DVD.

I recently bought this DVD to get rid of the baby fat from the birth of my son and after the first workout I started to feel the burn. It is great. I have two other Pilates DVDs and I use this one the most. I just wish she would explain the breathing a little more but overall great DVD.
Rating: - Great toning dvd!
i've always been a hard-core fitness person (cycling, sports and the like), and this was one of my first workout videos to purchase. at first i thought it was cheesy.however, i found that denise makes me laugh and the workoutis awesome.i always do 3 workouts back to back and i am sweating by the end.definitely recommend it.
Rating:  - Annoying instructor, but good workout
Denise Austin is known for being rather chatty as she leads workouts and this one is no different. What I like about this DVD is that there are targeted exercise routines based on the body part you want to work on that day. So you can piece together several 10 minutes workouts to do as much or as little as you feel like doing. After doing 20 minutes, I have worked up a sweat and after 30 minutes I am feeling like I had a pretty decent workout. I wish she'd provide more instruction with some of the complicated exercises or that there would be a person to show the 'beginner' version of some of the moves. But all in all, its a good buy and I use it regularly.
