Denise Austin: Best Bun & Leg Shapers

A member of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, instructor Denise Austin shows off her considerable fitness knowledge in this exercise program that features seven 5-15-minute workouts focused on sculpting the lower body. Best Bun & Leg Shapers compiles moves from the previous Austin programs Personal Training System, Hit the Spot: Core Complete, Hit the Spot: 10 Five-Minute Target Toners, Hit the Spot Pilates, Get Fit Fast, and Power Zone Ultimate Workout. Zeroing in on the buttocks, hips, thighs, legs, and core, the routines—some of which require weights, an exercise ball, and exercise band—feature moves such as lunges, squats, leg extensions, the “saddlebag slimmer,” sit backs, reaches, and plenty of matwork. Always upbeat and energetic, Austin reminds viewers that “If you don't squeeze it, no one else will.” Also including a customizable interactive option for mixing and matching selected workouts, this is easily recommended.
