Charlie Brooks Before and After Work Out DVD Most people will know Charlie Brooks for her character Jeanine Butcher in Eastenders a few years back, since then she has had various roles in other drams but in 2005 after the birth of her daughter Kiki, she released this before and after workout DVD. I have never been one for these sorts of DVD and have always thought it better to head off down the gym. After seeing so much about this DVD and Charlie ...
...no difficult moves. As Charlie Brook's says at the beginning of this section it doesn't really feel like exercise but you are actually working your body. By the end of the section I am getting pretty hot and feeling myself getting there! 3) Combat - This is my next favourite and this section really does feel as though you are working out your whole body. Lasting for 10 minutes as all the other sections but working a little harder with lots of leg ... Read review

Advantages: Bright and cheerful
Disadvantages: Muddled instructions

I am sorry to say that I was quite disappointed by this workout dvd. Lilia tries to instuct but the steps and sequences seemed muddled and rushed and I struggled to enjoy doing this workout (although I do own a few workouts that include dance). I am sure it works for toning if you stick to it and manage to learn the routines. Visually the dvd is good, bright and intresting and the music works well too; but I felt no excitment to want to return to ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to follow; Fun
Disadvantages: Not suited to more advanced fitness levels

...to begin. I chose the Rosemary Conley DVD because the thought of 'getting back into those jeans' as advertised on the front of the case, was really my aim. Also, the information on the case seemed to imply that the DVD would be at my level and fun to use. I think it cost about £15, which initially is an expense, but far cheaper than the gym!! So far , I have only used the DVD a couple of times, so I can't really say how well the exercises are working. ...
...routines on the DVD. Although Rosemary Conley might appear to be a fitness instructor who would appeal to an older generation, the routines are fun to do and they are accompanied by some modern and more classic songs, which I enjoy listening to. The DVD is divided into three exercise sections: ** 30 minutes of aerobics ** 20 minutes of Salsacise **15 minutes of supertoning It is easy to pick and choose which section or sections to complete as ...
