Fender: Getting Started On Electric Guitar

Advantages: Good for beginners with a little experience
Disadvantages: Not for complete beginners

This is a good DVD for anyone who wants to get started on the electric guitar, and begin to play things a bit more complicated to impress friends and family. Keith Wyatt is obviously a very accomplished and skilled guitar player, and he knows what he's talking about. He presents new skills clearly and teaches what he knows well. The only flaw in this DVD is that it may be too hard for complete beginners of the guitar. Where a couple of the lessons ...
...guitar, tuning, how to strum properly and basic chords, it races through these basic skills quite quickly. However, once you have mastered these key skills, the instructional guide moves along at a good pace, and covers lots of things, such as minor pentatonic scales, major pentatonic scales, dominant chords, power chords, and how to play in electric style, as well as much, much more. Overall, this is a good buy if you already have some guitar ...

Too much Yoghurt and Chocolates ?- try Yogalates

Advantages: Clear instructions for learning 'at-your-own-pace'
Disadvantages: A bit dear all in one go.

...in his middle-years who bought Yogalates DVDs for himself! Sniggers from Tallulahbang & Co making comments about religious old guys getting their kicks in queer places, will be responded to with a dozen 'Off-topic' ratings - you have been warned.! This is serious. 1 Why on earth ? """""""""""""""""""""" That question, I will tolerate. Indeed, I will willingly answer it - very willingly, indeed, to avoid all misconceptions. Let me take you ...
...asking for a set of Yogalates DVD's risks serious loss of face. Someone in my position could exit the shop to discover the Vice squad waiting to escort me back to the station to help them with their enquiries! Virgin Megastore is a bit more anonymous and had the 5 DVDs available individually or as a complete set. At £35 for the set, there were two persuasive reasons for buying the lot. Firstly, unfit exercise fanatics need all the help available, ...

If you could package arrogance!

Advantages: Lucy, price
Disadvantages: Fitz, routine, effect

...knew of is the lovely Lucy Benjamin. She's famous for her role as Lisa Mitchell in EastEnders, and was the winner of Celebrity X Factor a few years back. It was great to see her in the Jungle - she'd been away from our screens for too long. I wasn't aware that Lisa had released a fitness DVD, so when I made this discovery I was thrilled. I purchased it straight away, costing me just £2.95 from eBay. It is an extremely cheap DVD, and will cost you ...
...promising, a lovely picture of Lucy on the front, dressed in pink with her flat stomach on show, a Cheshire cat grin from ear to ear. Titled 'Dancercise', I had a feeling this was not going to be like my usual beloved cardio aerobic DVDs, and was keen to find out just what I was up against. The DVD itself brings you up three options, the second being 'workout selector' which allows you to choose the part of the work out you want to do. Though seeing ...

2 prim ladies + scruffs!

Advantages: useful tips
Disadvantages: presenters so annoying!

...wondering who Kim Woodburn is, how is she a celebrity? Well she became 'famous' from her appearance alongside Aggie MacKenzie in the TV show 'How Clean Is Your House'. The concept of the show is really very simple- Kim and Aggie help people to clean up their houses. It sounds quite dull actually, why would you actually want to watch this? Well the truth is you just can't help yourself! Is one of those compulsive viewings like Come Dine With Me and ...
...and they quiz them about how the house has become to the state it has and what is happening in their lives which means that they can't even ever run a duster around the house. They then set to work! They take swabs to check for bacteria and then give cleaning tips. The cleaning tips can be really simple although sometimes when I watch this I start to think well I've never put white vinegar inside my washing machine, am I just as bad as this person?! ...

Are you getting your 3 a week?

Advantages: Good for those pushed for time; mostly well instructed
Disadvantages: Cardio Box difficult to follow initially; not really challenging enough

...fat through the whole routine. Davina has two trainers, husband and wife team Jackie and Mark Wren, and this section is lead by Jackie with Mark and Davina following. I really like workouts that involve weights so this gets the thumbs up from me, although when compared to the Super Sculpt workout on her later Superbody DVD it’s not as challenging. Jackie’s instruction is nice and clear here and she explains how things should feel as well as what ...
...The Core Stability section Davina describes as “working your insides” and is a Pilates style workout with lots of floor work which really works your abdominals. I really like Pilates and find that although it’s not a typical ‘drench yourself in sweat’ workout, the results you get from it are really good and give you a much leaner, more toned figure. This is lead again by Jackie. Instruction For those who find Davina a bit annoying then this is ...
