| Q: I would like information on a Denise product I saw on television. It's some type of equipment for Pilates and yoga. |
| A: It's wonderful that you're interested in yoga and Pilates! Both are so great for your body and health! To get started, you can get The Denise Austin Yoga Kit, which includes three items that every yoga/Pilates collection needs — a mat, a strap to increase flexibility, and a block to help you modify your poses! And, of course, there's an instructional video, too! The best part is that it's useful whether you're a beginner or more experienced. Just go to the shopping section of my Web site and you can buy it online. Good luck! |

| Q: Do you have any tips for getting and keeping off the last 8 pounds? |
| A: Yes! I have a book and exercise video called Lose Those Last 10 Pounds. You can do it in as little as one month. Just stick to this program, and add 10 minutes a day more of exercise. That will help. |

| Q: What kind of exercises can burn off the fat from the inside of the knees? |
| A:The inner thigh area and the inside of the knees is a problem area for many women. My favorite workout for that area is a simple thigh toner. It's part of a routine in Shrink Your Female Fat Zones. Another great idea is to use an exercise ball. Just place it between your knees and squeeze. This helps firm legs all the way down. You might like my new Ultimate Metabolism Boosting System package—it has a lot of great lower-body exercises. It's what I've been doing for the last few months. There are four separate exercises, so you can do one every day for a week. |

| Q: Denise, your new Power Zone video uses resistance training to build muscle and boost the metabolism, and it claims to make exercise more effective and help take off weight quicker. What makes resistance training more effective than other kinds of workouts? |
| A:It's true! Resistance training does do all of those things. Plus it helps you keep the weight off after you've lost it! Training by resistance lets you get a lot of toning done while still being easy on the joints. And, when you use an exercise resistance band, you're really working the muscles, and therefore the routines are especially effective for burning fat while toning. Power Zone contains four segments that come together to build a full body toning and fat burning workout to yield twice the results in half the time. The cardio segment uses easy resistance to blast away fat. The upper body-toning workout helps you develop sleek arms, shoulders, and back. The lower body-toning workout targets the hips, thighs, and buttocks to tighten and firm. And finally, the abs workout focuses on shrinking the waistline and flattening the tummy. |

| Q: What workout tapes do you recommend for an intermediate exerciser? |
| A:You would love my Ultimate Fat Burning Workout. It's a 45-minute interval/circuit workout that has you burning fat and toning muscle all at the same time. If you do it three days a week, you'll see results after about the ninth workout. It's worth it! It's a challenging workout, but I love it. |

| Q: I am looking for two of your tapes which I can't seem to find in the stores. I was hoping that you could help me locate them. One is your Flexband Workout and the other is your Pilates Matwork. |
| A:All of my current general release videos and DVDs are kept in stock for immediate shipping. Once a video or DVD is no longer in production, your best bet is to check to see if someone on eBay has the item on sale. |
