Natalie Cassidy's Then and Now workout (dvd)

Advantages: Choose which sections you do, notice effects after a few workouts, good for unfits.
Disadvantages: some moves are hard first time to get. hearing the jokes more than once :P

...the dvd for you! Natalie Cassidy is honest and her trainer Dee Thrasher is kind, friendly and helpful. The dvd has a warm up session, a cool down session and two workout sessions- one is a fat burner called sweat and the other is a combat based set called punch. The warm up - is great, it burns fat and is great because it gets you going when you start from a cold and dont feel like training :D The sweat - excellent mix of cardio and fat burning ...
...is high and just when your tired, but really works! i love this one and would recommend. The punch - is fun and get a good all over training, cardio work and does all over toning. Can be hard work. The cool down - calming and works at reducing muscle ache the next day. The crunches are really hard, dont worry if you cant do them all at once, even doing some shows improvements. Build up how many you can do each time. If not doing much fitness at ...

Review of Natalie Cassidy's Then And Now Workout (DVD)

Discover a new you with Coleen

Advantages: easy, Coleen
Disadvantages: Coleen doesn't talk

...DVD, 'Brand New You', with Rosemary Conley. However I had spotted Coleen's newer fitness DVD, 'Disco Burn', and thought that was more up my street. Having loved that DVD though I recently purchased Brand New You, ready to give it a try after the success with the other. The workout on Brand New You is split into seven sections, lasting a total of 1hr and five minutes. The first workout is a short warm up, appropriately to get your body warmer and ...
...the numbers decreasing constantly. Rosemary Conley: I was not familiar with any of Rosemary Conley's work until now, so I wasn't too sure what to expect. She is quite different from any other fitness instructor on my fitness DVDs, not as outgoing. She didn't laugh at all, which is a little disappointing - I like harmless banter on the DVDs. As a person she is not an enjoyable fitness trainer, but I do like her routines so must credit her for that. ...

Review of Rosemary Conley - Brand New You! Work-Out With Coleen Nolan (DVD)

Wags Workout - not as bimbo as you think!

Advantages: Short, easy and good fun
Disadvantages: Same song throughout each section

...DVD stars Nicola T from WAGS Boutique, Lisa Munday - a WAG, model and professional dancer and Melissa Johnson - a WAG and model. The DVD menu is really easy to use: you simply press along until the area of the DVD you want to enter is highlighted and click. It gives you the option of playing the whole workout all the way through, or chosing individual sections. The workout is split into three sections, plus a warm up and cool down, each around ten ...
...some handy hints from the WAGS and the professionals and last around 15 minutes each. There's also a section on clothes and accessories, but if you are only looking for a workout, then I wouldn't bother even playing these bits! Overall, a good workout with a fun soundtrack. Probably better for females aged 16-25 and definitely fits in with a hectic lifestyle. A thumbs up from me! ...

* Get Fit With Claire *

Advantages: Fun
Disadvantages: Not many!

I used to be a HUGE Steps fan in my younger days! I was mad about them! I had all their CDs , Videos , Books , T Shirts , Scarfs , Posters , Mugs .... if it had a Steps logo on it , I had it. So as you can image I was pretty gutted when they split up. Fast forward seven years and Claire Richards , ex member of Steps , is back on the scene with a fitness DVD which helped her drop five dress sizes! I remember, it was Christmas last year, when the DVD ...
...it was too expensive. I can't remember exactly how much it was at the time , although I think it might have been aroung £17 which I thought was far too much to pay for a fitness DVD. So I decided I would wait. I waited so long that I forgot about the DVD , until recently. I was browsing through the DVD pages on Amazon when I came across the DVD selling for £12.98 ; still quite expensive considering that the DVD is now a year old. However I still ...
