Nell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results (DVD)

...I am a fan of Nell McAndrew as she is super-fit and looks great - you can also tell that she follows this class in real life and is not just doing the DVD as a publicity stunt. Aswell as doing this class she does lots of other sporting activities such as the London Marathon. Loads of people have recommended her DVDs to me and this is the first one I have bought - I got it from Ebay for a reasonable price and was dying to give it a go. The front ...
...with this workout. INTRODUCTION Nell introduces the workout and talks about how she stumbled across this class years ago in a disused warehouse and she loved it because it was just a hardcore fitness regime that really put her through her paces. Nell says she doesn't feel like she is working out unless she is sweating - well you will definately sweat with this!!! She also says it is a hard routine, so at various points throughout the workout, you ...

Review of Nell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results (DVD)

...workout DVDs, I’d always avoided Nell McAndrew’s output as they were recommended as only suitable for the ultra fit. But after 3 months of Davina every day I decided I was ready for a challenge. The workout is certainly not one for those who class themselves as unfit! Nell claims she used this class when in training for the London Marathon which should give you some idea of what to expect! It consists mainly of running on the spot while simultaneously ...
...celeb DVD – in fact, Nell barely utters a word throughout the entire workout! None of the inane chatter that you get with Davina, this is straight up fitness and I find I really enjoy that about it. The workout is led by an Army-style shouting man who I actually find strangely motivating and certainly keeps me going for far longer than I am able to run under my own steam. It’s not a particularly big budget production – it’s shot in what looks like ...

Review of Nell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results (DVD)

This was the first of Nell McAndrew's workout DVDs that I have bought, and I chose it because I was looking for a hard workout that would really do something for my muscles. The first section is a warmup and consists of gentle stretches and light stepping / jogging to get your muscles ready for what comes next. The second section is the cardio workout, a gruelling session of energetic exercises in which jogging and aerobic activities are interspersed ...
...excessive and irritating commentary. Likewise, Nell McAndrew stays quiet and sweats with the rest of them - this is one celebrity workout DVD that is more about the workout than the celebrity. The background music is well suited to a workout, but at the same time fairly unobtrusive. The one thing I would criticise is the filming. Clearly not much effort went into the production of the DVD, and I don't care that it's filmed in an unattractive warehouse ...

Review of Nell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results (DVD)

This is the third of Nell McAndrew's fitness dvd's. It consists of three sections; warm-up, cardio and cool-down with weights and mat work. Additionally, there is an extras section with a further 20 minutes of exercises if you really want to "feel the burn" The class is led by a fitness instructor who Nell trains with to do her marathons. Therefore, by its nature, the workout is quite hardcore. However, there are "bail out" options should you feel ...
...words given by the lovely Nell are very encouraging too, as she clearly does workout a lot, so you know she isn't spinning you a yarn. I don't really like the music, which is pumping dance music, but I think it goes well with the workout. It retails for between £5.99-9.99 depending on where you buy it from, and is available from online retailers, as well as the usual high street outlets. Nell says she feels like she's only working hard enough if ...

Review of Nell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results (DVD)

...was the first of the Nell McAndrew work out DVD's that I bought and I was hooked from the first time that I did it. It is true that it is really hard but you certainly feel virtuous after you have completed. I had to have a break the first few times that I did the routine but now I can do the whole thing. The DVD falls into 3 workouts with a further workout as part of the extras. The first workout is an excellent workout and prepares you for workout ...
...about this DVD is that Nell McAndrew does not say anything during the workout. You can see her sweating and in pain! She never flirts with the camera or makes silly comments about how much she needs to workout. If you want a very hard but fun workout then this is for you. I'm addicted. ...

Review of Nell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results (DVD)

...there's no distracting talk from Nell and seeing her sweating along with you is encouraging!! The warm up is probably the most taxing warm up I have done, and it certainly gives you an idea of what is to come in the main cardio section. The cardio section has several "bail out" sections where you can stop the cardio should you wish. The first couple of times I did the workout this came in very handy, although on my third attempt I managed to do the ...
...it would be … as the cardio section progresses, there is less running on the spot, and more arm work, along with the killer squats that are done throughout the workout. The routines are easy to follow and repeated most of the way through the section. The challenge comes from the toughness of the exercises, rather than trying to follow what the instructor is doing. The weights and mat work section is manageable for most people I would say, you don't ...

Review of Nell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results (DVD)

...an 'excercise class environment' and Nell is a member of this mixed gender class. She does not activley instruct during the rountine but takes part throughout. In summary this DVD is a hard core work out routine and i think a generally good fitness level is required as otherwise you may find you become dishearted quickly! My advise is stick with it and the results will speak for themselves! ...

Review of Nell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results (DVD)

This is a really intense workout DVD which is pefect if you like simple moves and have restricted space!! Warm up followed by 40 mins of cardio then weights and toning section. You don't need to do all sections at the same time, but if you do, you will really feel results quickly!! Having been a regular gym goer, I decided to try and work out from home to save money. I have found that I am achieving excellent results from this DVD, and have not ...
...instructor is very straight talking, which I much prefer to the other DVD's I have where they appear to be really false. If you haven't exercised for a while or aren't particularly fit/strong in the legs, take it steady as it will hurt afterwards!! Really do recommend this! ...

Review of Nell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results (DVD)

...The DVD starts with Nell giving a brief introduction and explanation of the DVD. ***Workout 1*** This is the warm up section which takes you through some war up exercises such as marching on the spot, and then also some stretches to prepare you for what is to come! ***Workout 2*** This is the cardio section, which is broken down into about 5 different sections allowing you to bail out if you need too. This is mainly centred around jogging on the ...
...type of workout. Nell doesn't speak at all throughout the workout, with the instructor doing all the talking. It is also filmed as a class, with several others taking part in the workout as well. Overall a good workout if you are prepared for some hard work, but I wouldn't recommend it for complete beginners. ...

Review of Nell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results (DVD)

I recently purchased this DVD as I could not afford to renew my expensive gym membership. I have been attending exercise/aerobic classes at my gym for approx. four times a week for the past four years. I was extremely reluctant to use a celebrity DVD but i can honestly say that 'Nell's Ultimate Challenge' gives you an excellent workout!! It has a very good cardio section (however, if you like complicated choriography this is not really for you), ...
...final floor work section. Please note that this DVD does require light weights (it does not tell you this on the back of the DVD!!!). The music is house/dance style and (in my opinion) very motivating for an exercise class. After buying this DVD I decided to prurchase another of Nell's exercise DVD's, 'Peak Energy' - this is extremely similar to Ultimate Challenge (especially the cardio section and weights section)! ...
