After giving birth to my son and being a stay at home mum I soon found that I was unable to loose my pregnancy weight and if anything I was piling on more pounds; I knew I had to do something about them but I didn't know what so upon the advice of a friend I purchased this DVD.
The DVD arrived in the typical cellophane wrap with a picture of Davina posing on some big step type blocks showing off her stunning figure.
I have to say that the first time I did it I was sweating a like a pig and I found the moves quite hard to copy especially as on several occasions Davina just babbles on so you can't hear the directions or the camera man zooms in so close you cannot see what you're supposed to be doing with your legs. There is the option to mute Davina but that is no good if you're a beginner as it also means you are muting Jackie & Mark who are telling you what to do.
Pump "This works the muscles really well and includes small but intensive interval training sessions."
This is the first of the 3, 30 minute workouts and this one is run by Jackie - I must say I find this the easiest and personally I feel I benefit the most from this workout, it's a wide range of squats, lunches and some weight work also if you follow Jackie rather than Mark and Davina you can see that you don't have to use the weights.
Cardio Box This is brilliant and loads of fun to do, as it combines intensive fat burning with some boxing moves"
This second workout is lead by Mark, it's quite encouraging to see his rippling muscles and he makes a good leader showing many kicks and punches, this routine does work you harder but I also found it harder than the first routine when it comes to picking up the moves.
Core Stability "This is all about poise, posture, balance and can have a huge impact on your overall health and wellbeing"
The third 30 minutes I'm afraid I can't comment on too much, I stuck with this routine for a few week and just found it boring and hard to follow so instead I went and took up an evening a week doing yoga which I personally felt was a lot better than this section lead again by Jackie.
If you are looking for a good to follow DVD then I would recommend this over any other, you can ALWAYS find a spare 30 minutes in your day to cram in a routine and I have started to notice results quite quickly. Unfortunately for me though my son has just destroyed my DVD so I am currently awaiting a new delivery so that I can continue following this workout.
