...Introduction Here we see Natalie at the start of her weight loss journey, she talks us through what she has done to lose the weight and how she has been doing the workout 5 times a week. She also has her final weigh in with the trainer at this point. Warm I found this warm up great fun. The banter between Natalie and Dee is amusing and with great moves included like the "shoulder shimmy" you don't really notice that you're warming up. Sweat ...
...this point I was expecting Natalie to talk about her eating plan, however you just get lists of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks up on the screen. Good if you want to follow some exact meals, not so good if you're looking for some kind of strategy. Overall I really enjoy this DVD. As with any exercise DVD you'll get bored with it if you're doing the same thing and listening to the same jokes every day, but it's great to use a few times a ... Read review

...have to say I prefer Rosemary Conley's Brand New you Workout above the other two. Heres why: The cover is eye catching and has a picture of Coleen Nolan on the front at her previous and new size. The workout is separated into sections starting with an introduction from Rosemary Conley which I would watch before you had your first go. Section 1 is the warm up which is 7 minutes long. This does what it says and warms you up! It stretches muscles ...
...3 times a week although Rosemary Conley says to do 30 minutes of exercise 5 times a week (which equates to about the same lol). You can quite easily do the warm up plus 1 of the other sections followed by the cooldown if you are short on time. I highly recommend this dvd to someone who wants to feel challenged as the women taking part are all working at different levels and have lost a lot of weight. Once you feel it getting a bit easy, crank it ... Read review

...it, its great for busy people or if you have just started exercising you can start off by completing one 15 minute routine 3 times a week to get you started then progress to 30 minutes and then the full routine if you wish. I like this DVD because it is varied it combines a twist of yoga which gives you greater mobility while toning your stomach, hips and thighs and I like the shorter workouts so if you have little time you can still fit in a little ...

...sequel to their previous adventure Long Way Round. The bikes are a newer model than they used on the Long Way Round and have snazzy paint jobs, one is blue and the other red. They also have a bit of zebra paintwork on eone bike and leopard on the other. The DVD features episodes 1, 2 and 3 on Disc one along wtih some extras. Disc two has the rest of the episodes, namely 4-6 and also some extras. The case is the same thickness as a single DVD so ...
...If you have the DVD's Long Way Round this collection is a must but also stands up on its own perfectly well. Having the extra features allows you to feel more involved with the journey, you get to take in the cultures of the many places they travel through. These features are alot of unseen and footage and also extentions of what was omitted in the television show. There is a photo gallery and maps showing the route that the intrepid travellers ...
