...already own. It was called Shape Up For The Sun, was relatively cheap, and by instructor Libby Roberts, who had also been the instructor of the Slimline video I had done all that time ago. I have also done The Shape Challenge and The Shape Challenge 2, which were by Libby, and had enjoyed them and found them to be effective, so I happily parted with around £3.50 - including postage - for this and waited for it to arrive. As soon as the DVD turned ...
...this was, in fact the same exercise routine as the Slimline video - just going under a different name. This was confirmed when I put the DVD on. I wasn't too bothered as I no longer have the Slimline video, and had always enjoyed it and know it to be effective. I thought I would highlight this point though, just as a warning to anyone before they purchase it. Anyway enough waffle and on to the DVD…. There are four sections to this - Warm-Up, Upper ...

Advantages: wide varitey of moves
Disadvantages: poor music, and viisuals

...are very old fashioned in the way they are filmed. When the lady tells you what to do , the girl on the screen has usually already finished doing it. The music is annoying , a bit like music in a lift. There are a wide variety of exercises to do, but none really enjoyable. If you want a good old fashioned dance around to up to date music, then dont go for this. If your old and hard of hearing then dont go for this because you wont hear the music ... 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

Exercise one will help you burn fat and lose weight in your buns and thighs. Exercise two is a cardio workout and will help you burn calories, exercise three is ...
...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 ...
