Anyone have Denise's Shape, Strengthen & Sculpt Plan?
I'm on Denise's mailing list. This Shape, Strengthen & Sculpt Plan uses a stability ball and resistance bands. Each daily workout is 12 minutes.
It looks good, but I haven't bought it. I have, perhaps more than one, stability ball already, and several stretchie bands. It's not on DVD. The $$ price, which does keep going down. But mainly b/c it seems to be the same workout plan as her 2004 book, Sculpt Your Body with Balls and Bands, which has a plan for 12 minute daily workouts. I questioned this in an email to Denise's customer service; no reply as yet. I have done the plan in that Denise book, within the last year IIRC, and it's very good. Unlike so many of her books, there was never a DVD of it. Anyone have it?

I have it. Other than that she took new pictures of herself doing the exercises, it is basically identical to her Sculpt Your Body with Balls & Bands book. I would have to look at it again, but if I recall correctly, the only difference is that she removes ball wall squats and adds in something else. The ebook also deletes the diet plan and the fan weight loss stories.
I felt cheated - especially since I sent an email to her site before I ordered the ebook saying I already had the ball & band book and asking if they are the same thing. One of her assistants assured me that while they were similar, they weren't the same and that I would also be getting access to new content. I guess since she replaces one exercise, that is "technically" true, but I sure felt lied to after I received it. As for the new content, I was given a link to see short clips (like one minute each) of Denise demonstrating two or maybe three of the exercises. If you do a youtube search, you can see the same clips for free. I will never ever buy another Denise product. ETA: I just looked. For the 3-week plan, on day 11 the wall squat is replaced by a hamstring curl and on day 16 the wall squat is replaced by a deadlift. |

Thanks Cynthia.
Bzar, I don't know what the current price is, but when I bought it back in September, the total cost for the ebook, a ball and three bands, plus shipping & handling, was $59.50. The ebook was not sold individually, only as part of a package. |
