Best of a bad bunch

Advantages: easily accessible format
Disadvantages: not quite enough focus on correct form/techniques

...I do believe that this Davina DVD is the best yet. It is both motivating and effective (if you keep it up, of course, and lay off the cakes!). It comprises of 3x30 minute workouts (as it's name suggests!). Each workout focuses on a different aspect of fitness. BUT... it's drawback or weak-point is that it's not too good in teaching the technique. I would imagine that for a complete beginner there may be some problems, not with the difficulty (though ...
...technique is correct and so not to cause an injury. On the whole I would recommend the DVD, as it is really great to have the three sessions of 30 minutes format. You feel that you're actively choosing what you want to work on rather than a long hard slog . In all this DVD is an improvement on other fitness DVD's including Davina's previous releases. Short, sharp and sweet! ...

Review of Davina McCall - My Three 30 Minute Workouts (DVD)

Old but great workout

Advantages: can see quick results, tone up muscles and loose weight
Disadvantages: slightly out of date

...In these workouts Cindy Crawford shows exercises for all main muscle groups - arms, shoulders, chest - which is the part exercise programs usually pay little attention to, back, abs, legs. It combines aerobic and strength exercises so allows to tone up muscles and loose weight. Every workout starts with a warm-up routine, then proceeds to leg exercises, which are quite unusual and she uses chair for support for most of them, in the first workout ...
...a quite fast rhythm, however Cindy gives a little time to rest between repetitions so you can always adjust it for yourself and rest abit longer when you only start the program. Cindy is a great role model too. I have all her programs and when doing them regularly can definitely see results. Better than any other ones i have tried so far. ...

Review of Cindy Crawford - Shape Your Body Workout (DVD)

Empowering and fantastic!!

Advantages: DIfferent, interesting!
Disadvantages: Exhausting!! (thats probably a good thing though!)

I have tried many many workout videos! Each have eithered not pushed me enough or bored me after a while! These are different! The boxing element makes it more fun then other \'aerobic\' excerise dvds, and it continously challenges you to work harder! It definately improved my fitness as you are being pushed more and more. The workouts are short enough to fit in to your daily routine (which was very important to me!) i often use the excuse- "i ...
...these dvds you do, and i though half hour wouldnt be enough to actually achieve something, well i was very wrong!! It works you hard for that half hour and it can be fitted into your day easily, i highly recommend this boxset as i still continue doing it now, months after i bought it! Ive never done that with other workout dvds! Now i dont need to waste money on more and more workout/diet dvds that just collect dust!! Im saving money and losing weight! ...

Review of Francesco's Venice (DVD)

Hotpants Workout - It really works!

Advantages: good fun, dance routines make the sessions fly by!
Disadvantages: lots of stomach crunches towards the end ;-/

...off and throw it in the trash after watching just the introduction to this workout, yet my opinion was soon to change after getting over the initial annoyance of the backing music and the fact that I could never, EVER be as toned and beautiful as the dancers showing me the moves! This DVD provides an excellent workout, with the steps explained to you well, even if some of them take a little practice! I now use this routine as part of my daily work ...
...up a lot since beginning the workout a few months ago, it really does work- and you can feel the evidence of that after even one session! There is an excellent variety of slow, and fast paced routines and the warm down section in particular- although slightly grueling if you are not a fan of stomach crunches, certainly exercises your body in all the right places! Each routine on the DVD is designed for a different part of the body, and this is handy ...
