video. It was only when I looked back at the many videos I'd done over the years that it occurred to me how fantastic it would be if we could bring the best individual routines from my favourite workouts together, into one great programme, and make it available on video. Well that's exactly what we've done - and here it isThis 7 Day Slim Down programme has been designed in such a way that you can do one section every day of the week. Each section varies in length and provides a truly comprehensive fat burning and shape defining workout that you'll love.Just work out at the level that feels comfortable for you and you'll naturally increase the intensity as you become fitter. So let's get going.....
regime in its own right. The slimming guru might have declared thatThe Ultimate Body Workoutwas to be her last, but fans will be delighted that she's gone back on her word to produce a combination of her favourite sequences from her four videos.The seven sessions designed for each day of the week last from 14-25 minutes and address different aspects of fitness: aerobic, toning, targeting certain body areas, incorporating weights and being chair (office) based. With a set that looks likeChanging Roomsgone over-enthusiastic, leotards reminiscent of the 1980s, plenty of good old-fashioned aerobic moves, and stomping disco music, this is hardly modern stuff. But Conley knows her market--based on her dieting clubs--and knows that this market laps up her formula.The smiles and glows of her participants featured in the seven sessions are an indication of the adoration accorded to their dieting icon. Cynics might sneer, but you can't fault Conley for once again coming up trumps with a format that works on every level: easy to follow, effective but not exhausting, upbeat, unpretentious and all in all accessible.On the DVD:The Seven-Day Slim Downon disc comes with itemised scenes which makes daily selection painless, plus there is an extra on circuit training. The informative section on menu planning offers comprehensive advice on exactly what to eat and fat-saving tips. Conley's low-fat premise might be out of date in relation to the current high protein-low carbohydrates fashion, but it obviously works for some. The success stories feature dramatic extremes of super-fat and miserable women turned slim and super-happy. Best of the extras is Conley interviewing her choreographer Mary Morris, a fascinating fitness expert with 30 years experience. --Lorna V

Full review
A great workout for anyone who can spare a maximum of twenty minutes a day.
At first I was sceptical of this DVD as it is advertised as a compliation of 'the best of' Rosemarys other workouts, so I therefore assumed it was just a money making wheeze. Not owning any of her other DVDs I took the challenge.
The programme is designed to be done everyday over the course of a week - this ensures you have covered both fat burning aerobic workouts and toning excercises for all areas of the body.
The DVD is great.
Firstly, it is easy to navigate and each routine also details a stop clock, so you know exactly how long each session lasts and has left to run. A great motivator when getting a bit hot, knowing there are only five minutes left really helps!
The biggest advantage of this DVD is that it caters for everyone. Alongside Rosemary are people who are exercising at a more gentle pace and also at a more advanced level, so you can commence as a beginner and stay with the programme as you improve. Similarly, if you are looking for a daily advanced workout - this should provide the answer.
The fact that you are exercising with a different routine everyday means that you don't get bored of the same workout after a week or two and end up putting the DVD back on the shelf.
Note - some sessions require handweights (or filled water bottles) and an exercise mat (or a towel).
As someone who has average fitness levels and a two dress sizes to lose, I have found that after three weeks I am still as keen to participate as I was on day one. I am already seeing an improvement in both measurements and fitness levels and find completing the workouts that little bit easier as each day goes by.
Plot: The best of Rosemary's routines from her favourite workouts chosen from over the years.
