...exercise just chill out! Chillates is a workout brought to us by the Ministry Of Sound.

Programmed by a top choreographer, Litza Bixler gives the voice over and introduces the DVD and she has designed it with beginners, intermediate and advanced users in mind meaning there really is ...
...I find it hard balancing Chillates with work. However I do it the best I can and being able to choose your workout helps a lot too so you can choose to do just the warm up and a twenty minute session if you want to. That's not a lot to ask is it? Even if you have children try and see if you can get a babysitter or get your partner to look after them for a while. Take a break just for you. If you really can't get twenty minutes a day then at least ... Read review

...each step and movement New York City Ballet 2 is designed to sculpt and tone your body; but attempts to be accessible to all, providing a glossary explaining ballet terminology and introducing such steps as Plies and Tendus. Although the steps do not offer a cardio workout, if you did this dvd for 2 or 3 times every week or maybe even less than that, you will feel this difference. **From the Back Cover** New York City Ballet Workout is a revolutionary ...
...Glossary Danskin trailer New York City Sport trailer There are two male and two female dancers that show the movements. They are very beutiful to look at. If theres a critisism to make, it is that sometimes the camera shows their feet and a untrained dancer wouldn't know what to do with their arms. But saying this, it is a very good work out for the arms aswell, at one point you have your arms in second position for so long that they ache. There ... Read review

...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.

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 ...

Disadvantages: Could get boring if you rely on the DVD alone

...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
