Want to get seriously fit?

Advantages: A great all-over body workout
Disadvantages: Not for beginners

...by the celebrity face of Penny Smith. Unlike most other fitness video celebrities, she knows to shut up and keep in the background while Anton, the yoga master, puts both us and her through our paces. Anton is a likeable guy, not at all patronising, and his explanations of the different postures are clear and understandable. This workout will doubtless leave you aching all over after the first few sessions, but within a few short weeks you will ...

Review of Jamie Oliver - Pukka Tukka (DVD)

The returning nightmares just won't go away

Advantages: Ramsay
Disadvantages: repetitive

The basic premise of this series: Gordon Ramsay goes to a struggling restaurant, tells the chef the food is sh*t and the owner he's a wan*er. The owner kicks off and argues with Gordon, before giving into his proposals, and finally rejoicing when Gordon saves the restaurant from going down the pan, all in the space of a week. This DVD release sees Gordon return to four of the restaurants he worked in for series 1: Bonapartes Restaurant, Silsden, ...
...Tree Inn, Llandewi Skirrid, South Wales Moore Place, Esher, England Basically, they re-hash the original episode (re-showing most of it), then Gordon goes back to see how they're doing now. Ramsay is an intriguing character. He first came onto our screens in the documentary 'boiling point' which followed his kitchen for a bit. The public was outraged at how much he swore and shouted, but Gordon said that was life in the kitchen. Gordon had learnt ...

Review of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Revisited (DVD)

It's Physically impossible not to laugh yourself thin with Coleen

Advantages: energetic, soundtrack, length, presenter, trainer
Disadvantages: /

Coleen Nolan has been one of key people in my life for nearly three years, and coinciding with my love for fitness comes my passion for Coleen's workout DVDs. Her first was a success, and her second was even greater. So when I heard she was releasing a third, to say I was ecstatic would be an understatement. The first DVD was very much a cardio workout, and the second was a bit more of a dance routine. I did wonder what 'Let's Get Physical' was going ...
...whole DVD, a smile that Coleen takes with her everywhere. In a little bubble at the side it says '4 x 20 minute workouts'. This got me thinking; usually exercise DVDs are an hour long and although broken into sections, they connect to one another. Though this one claimed to be four separate routines, taking the length to 80 minutes rather than 60. I was desperate to explore. Putting the DVD on, I entered the first of four routines. This turned out ...

* 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 ...
