...Holy Grail its Carol Vorderman's sudoku DVD game after taking a knife to the cellophane wrapping and peeling it off. Then opening it to find more of the cursed plastic stopping me from getting at the DVD after I got past that obstacle got some plasters for my hands I was set to go I thought. Well in the box was the sudoku DVD with case and a pile of sudoku cards for you to fill in. I was never much good at sudoku but this is what I wanted to do. ...
...Carol admit she is a sudoku addict. This DVD contains tips and secretes on how to do it. This is a great DVD with very detailed instructions and rules. It's too bad for me that I didn't pick up on it very quickly and gave up. From what I understand there are only three rules in every row, columns and grid of nine you must have the numbers one to nine. To bad I still don't get what is going on. Another really handy feature of this interactive DVD ... Read review

Advantages: worked for a while
Disadvantages: didnt work well for me

Most people will know Charlie Brooks for her character Jeanine Butcher in Eastenders, I am unsure weather this DVD did in fact help Charlie lose the weight but it is true she is now looking great. I aways feel these kinds of DVD's are stupid in the sense that the celebrities put there name on them and get all the recognition yet it is fitness trainers who actually 'teach' you the work out. I have never been one to buy this sort of thing, but hey, ...
...after buying the DVD and using it 2 twice a day (morning before work and Evening after dinner) I did star to lose a couple pounds but shortly after that the work out was not helping. I think the best thing to lose weight is just eat healthy and do a hours exercise a day, But then again everyone says that and I don't think anyone actually listens any more. ... 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 ...

Advantages: Fun, inspiring, great workout
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
