GET SWEATY WITH NELL!! Review ofNell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results DVDby

Advantages: Challenging, great music, no-nonsense, really works Disadvantages: Repetitive
...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 ...

Advantages: Results show quickly, no irritating commentary Disadvantages: annoying camera angles, need to take care with knees
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 ...

Advantages: Gets the heart racing, easy to follow Disadvantages: Not my kind of music
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 ...

Hard but brilliant! Review ofNell McAndrew's Ultimate Challenge - Ultimate Results DVDby
lucmedeastan
Advantages: A really tough workout that works. Nell actually sweats and the exercises are very affective. Disadvantages: There are not enough stretches at the end of workout 2.
...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 ...

Advantages: Easy to follow, really works! Disadvantages: Difficulty level may put some off
...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 ...

Advantages: This really is the ultimate work out video! A routine that builds stenght and stamina Disadvantages: So intense that you can easily become disheartened. You have to stick with it in the initial stages.
...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! ...

***The Introduction***
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 ...

Advantages: Hard work, easy to follow routine, cheaper than a gym membership! Disadvantages: Need dumbells, some may see the cardio workout repetative.
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), a ...
