Baby Boomers Age Defying Workout (aka Anti-Aging Baby Boomers Workout)

Denise Austin
Year Released: 1998

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


The back of this video says it was previously released as "Denise Austin Anti-Aging Baby Boomer Workout."

This really isn't a "dance" workout. It really felt like an energetic walk for the first part. In the first part she does marches,side steps with arms, knee lifts with arms extended, slight lunges with punches, grapevines with butt kicks, scoops, ponies, and other things.

In the toning/firming part Denise does primarily leg lifts and crunches.

In the stretching part she uses a towel. Very nice stretches for all body parts.

The music includes: "Mony, Mony", "Build Me Up Buttercup", "Good Viberations", "Happy Together", "Jeremiah was a Bull Frog" and more.

The set has a live band in the background playing the music. There are 8 background exercisers, 2 of which are male. All appear in good shape but not too skinny. The floor is black with orange, blue, pink in the background (not as bad as the description makes it sound). No one does modifications.

I would place this as an intermediate level workout but a good one to recommend to someone who hasn't exercised for whom the music would be the draw. I hesitated to buy this but I'm glad I did. I would buy it on DVD if it came out on DVD.

Instructor Comments:
Denise cues better than average in the cardio part. She repeats her normal phrases (like if you rest, you rust, etc). She's perky in this one.
