After first watching the DVD munching on a biscuit and sipping a hot chocolate (just to build up my energy levels, you understand...) I got the old lycra gear out and decided to have a prance about in my front room with Davina.
After ATTEMPTING previous work out DVDs, i.e. the Ministry of Sound Pump It Up, I found this one to be surprisingly easy to follow. The exercises are clearly shown and repeated enough times for you to feel the burn (come on work through that wall of pain!!!).
The exercises are varied enough to work several different parts of the body, stomach, bum, thighs (a real killer) and arms. After skidding across the front room floor with the chair I was using to do the press ups I have to admit I now skip that bit..... Oh, a good tip too is to grab yourself a couple of tins of beans or filled up water bottles beforehand as most of the arm exercises require that you use weights - you can do them without but I don't really think that would help build up the muscles required to carry all that shopping home....
I would say the DVD is ideal for beginners and anybody with an average amount of fitness. I don't really think it would test anybody with a higher level of fitness.
The music is definitely a let down I have to say. I was geared up for some bangin' choons after Davina specifically mentioned how she found working out to great music a help. Unfortunately, I think her definition of great music and mine differ somewhat. (I am fully aware that music is a personal choice tho.....).
The DVD's extras are just a waste of space. They are really little more than Davina obsessing about herself and letting us all know how much she admires her own new figure. (Can't blame the woman I suppose), after watching through them once there is nothing to be gained from watching them again.
All in all though it's a great workout DVD that no doubt works (if not done interspersed with portions of chips and KFC, oooo I'm such a chav!!).
So that's my review, now where's the biscuit barrel.......
