Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

...too out of breath. Leading Davina (and you!) through the workout are Jackie and Mark Wren, her husband and wife team of personal trainers. Mark is a ex-Navy bod First impressions of the DVD are that it's a little bit dated in format - the cheesy intros to each section scream late 90's - but don't let that put you off because the content is good. The warm up last 10 minutes and is nicely explained as to which muscles you're stretching and gets the ...
...if you feel the one Davina is doing is too challenging. I always do the whole workout in one go - once you've got through the horror of the legs section it's easy just to plough on through the rest. I love Jackie and Mark as they are lovely and down to earth but manage to be encouraging enough to push you on. The count well and sometimes the thought that I only have four repetitions left is enough to keep me going where I would have stopped. The ...

Review of Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

...when I came across the Davina Mccall - Power of 3 DVD. I read quite a lot of reviews on it beforehand and they all seemed positive, in the way that the workout is really good and actually works! (makes a change) Most of us have heard of Davina Mccall through the addictive; ok maybe not, Big Brother series. On this DVD she demonstrates her exercise regime, (which apparently helped her lose weight after her pregnancy), with the help of her personal ...
...got to say, is terrible. Davina loves all the tracks but I find them boring and not really motivating. I just put my own music on in the background and do the workout. The following is the track list; Mark Sedgley - Happy Groove Armada - Chicago Groove Armada - Final Shakedown Cut La Roc - La Roc Rocs Fatboy Slim - Praise You Royksopp - So Easy Fatboy Slim - First Down Cut La Roc - Hip Hop Bibbeby Bop Odyssey - Use it Up Wear It Out Us3 ...

Review of Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

...is quite simple and shows Davina looking very slim and toned, quite inspiring! The blurb on the back tells you all about 'the power of 3' which consists of three exercise regimes focusing on legs, bums and tums, done three times a week along with eating three healthy meals a day - so three is the magic number here then! Davina tells us we can either do a section each day, or do the whole thing a couple of times a week - if you attempted to do the ...
...WARM UP Davina and her two trainers Jackie and Mark Wren (who are husband and wife) are in a very nice light studio. Jackie leads this session and takes us through some heel digs, knee lifts and stretches to prepare us for the main workout. The music is very uplifting and gets you in the mood! Davina is slightly annoying and keeps making jokey comments every two minutes, but apart from that, its a good enough warm up and I felt very prepared for ...

Review of Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

...little as you like. Davina is funny and the trainers Jackie and Mark are encouraging. Because it is broken down into chunks the workouts feel manageable; however, the lower body workout maybe particularly difficult for beginners. The DVD starts with a warm up which features gentle aerobics and some stretching to get your heartbeat up. Then the first workout is for the lower body; this involves interval training with lots of squats and lunges separated ...
...flexibility has increased immensely and I think that is down to the cool downs. I like the extras on these DVDs. There are fun sections with Davina talking about food and dressing for your shape; she is not quite Gillian McKeith or Trinny and Susannah but it is interesting. ...

Review of Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

...in the afternoons. I knew Davina had released this DVD a while ago, and I had heard some good things about it so I decided I would give it a try. And of course by Davina, I mean Davina McCall of Big Brother fame, also presenter of Streetmate, PopStars The Rivals and her own chat show! When I got it home, I thought I would give it a try that evening to see if it was a good overall workout. Now I did feel a bit nervous as I am not the fittest person ...
...onto the DVD... Now Davina herself isn't the expert on the DVD, she is the celebtriy lending her face and body to the workout which she follows, called the Power of 3. The workout is led by Davina's Personal Trainers, a couple called Mark and Jackie Wren, both fitness experts. Mark is a former member of the Royal Navy and Jackie has been in fitness for many years, something you can tell about these two from watching the DVD! However, they are both ...

Review of Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

...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), ...

Review of Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

...peoples reviews, I decided on Davina McCall - The Power of 3. (Plus it might have helped that I liked Davina) When the DVD arrived I couldn't wait to put it on. At first I thought I would just sit and watch it, but I couldn't I just wanted to join in! I found the DVD to be very good. Davina is behind you all the way, she encourages you, which is good. You can see she struggles a little bit in the DVD, which is good to know; also you are told to ...
...Mark and Jackie tell you to do There are 3 main sections: Legs and Bums, Upper Body and Abdominals (hence the title The Power of 3) plus warm up and cool down. There are also a few extras 'Davina on Clothes' and 'Davina on Food' Once I had done the workout, I could tell I had done a work out as it had got my heart rate up, plus I had drank a lot of water. The morning after I could definately tell I had done a work out as my tummy muscles and my ...

Review of Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

...about the workout is that Davina actually showed signs of pain and getting out of breath, just like us! I loved this because it shows that she's normal and not a fitness freak like in other DVDs, who find hard exercises "oooh so easy!" Four years on, I'm still using this DVD, as well as with other DVD but I have to say that this workout is a personal favourite of mine. I love this workout because it leaves me feeling great, toned up and gives me ...
...I'd definately recommend this to potential buyers, if you want to feel great, lose weight and tone up! Though, I have to admit that people who are overweight, will find this hard to begin with (I know this because my mother was overweight but lost remarkable amount of weight) but don't give up hope! Just stick with the DVD and it will get easier. Soon enough, you'll see results. Shake that booty, girl! :D ...

Review of Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

...feel yourself getting weary, whilst Davina and Mark Wren carry on with the advanced versions of the workout. Stick at it, and if you do, like me, you will soon start to see results very quickly. The way Davina presents it along with the personal trainers Jackie and Mark Wren and gets stuck in, is more of a motivation to me than watching girls prance around making it look easy when it isn't. I am one of those people who say "Oh no not another celebrity ...
...saw Davina reveal her bikini clad bod on Big Brother this year, you will know why! Davina makes it fun and light hearted, yet gives it her all and looks like she is working her butt off literally! If like me (and Davina!) you want to get back into shape after having two babies... then this is a must! I also liked the fact that there are sections on clothes, food and a 7 day healthy eating plan, and she talks about her experiences of dieting, exercise ...

Review of Davina McCall - The Power Of 3 (DVD)

So we all love Davina McCall anyway, from StreetMate to Big Brother, shes always been the type of girl we can see ourselves going down the pub with and having a few jokes. So we knew that when she bought out a work out vid/dvd it wasnt going to be anything we'd seen before. It isnt, Davina and her two instructors have their funny banter throughout and time passes quite quickly, whether your warming up, working out or cooling down. The workout itself ...
...there and then! I suppose Davina being a mum of three, she knows its better to be realistic and practical, than in pain for the next two weeks! If this is your first workout video, you are contemplating buying, then go for it! Its a great excercise program, which you can feel working all over your body! In the shops its only £12.99 (DVD) but im sure you can pick it up cheaper on ebay! Great value for money, in my opinion and something you can use ...
