<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYear: 2003<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Distributor: Artisan Home Entertainment (Lionsgate)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I became attracted to The Vista Group\u2019s YouTube channel in 2021, there was a VHS upload of Angela Lansbury\u2019s Positive Moves<\/em>, which was her personal exercise tape. Unfortunately, the actress died on October 11, 2022 along with the channel getting terminated at the time, so I had to find a suitable replacement. An upload of Denise Austin\u2019s Super Stomachs <\/em>on VHS was the gateway to discover more about her legacy as a fitness instructor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Denise\u2019s older workout programs (from the 80\u2019s to the early 90\u2019s) were distributed by Parade Video at first before rebranding to PPI Entertainment. In the late 90\u2019s to the early 2000s, her VHS tapes\/DVDs were now part of Artisan Home Entertainment\u2019s fitness library. As of 2004, the company went defunct and starting in 2005, the brand was folded into Lionsgate Home Entertainment with the first DVD under her label being Denise Austin: Hit the Spot Pilates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I was lucky enough to see a couple of titles distributed by Lionsgate in Half Price Books, but there was a title by her that was distributed by Artisan Home Entertainment called Shrink Your Female Fat Zones. <\/em>The description on the back of the DVD claims to target tone your arms, midsection (tummy), hips, thighs and buns for a complete total body workout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This program consists of two 20-minute workouts: 20 minutes of weight training, and 20 minutes with the usage of the stability ball, which was previously used for the On the Ball<\/em> series. Since most of Denise Austin\u2019s content was uploaded by BeFit (Lionsgate\u2019s fitness line), I decided to archive some of her titles myself for these reviews. However, pregnancy workouts (prenatal\/postnatal) along with workouts designed for a specific audience (ex: those with pain issues, seniors) will not be part of the collection because I am only looking for overall, total body fitness from the best instructors in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Denise first explains that the program is a complement to her book of the same name, which was published by Rodale Press in the same year. In both segments, she alternates between the upper body, lower body, and abdominal zones to firm up those areas that most women get. (I\u2019m not being sexist here, but men can sometimes get them too.) I hope that she can deliver results!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet\u2019s go shrink our female fat zones!\u201d<\/p>\n– Denise Austin<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The warm-up for this program is pretty straightforward, until Denise does a few push-ups (with some in the normal position). Yikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026Anyways, let\u2019s start the first section with weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
