Why I brought the DVD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most people have heard of Natalie Cassidy who until fairly recently had a major role in British soap Eastenders, playing dowdy Sonia Jackson. It's well known that she didn't have the best of bodies and since leaving Eastenders has appeared in a number of celebrity magazines showing off her fabulous new figure. Celebrity WorkoutDVD's have never appealed to me, they have always been airbrushed or don't eat to look like that and have never made me want to buy one, but Natalie Cassidy's weight loss was amazing, she has done so well and seeing pictures of her in magazines showed how well she was looking without being over the top, I thought this was one DVD that might actually be worth purchasing, if the workout could do what it did for her then it would do wonders for me ...
Advantages: Any age, any size, low impact and works! Disadvantages: None.
This workout is totally unique, and really works. I have bought other workoutdvd's in the past, and have found them usually set to hip-hop style music. As a woman nearing 40 I have shelved them all pretty quickly, as a combination of awful music, bad dance moves and boring routines seems to be the norm.
This dvd however is very different. Firstly, Claire King is very subdued and obviously feels the pain as much as you do! There is no bad music, no woop wooping and no jumping up and down. Do not be fooled though, although this is low intensity that any age/size can do, it is the single most difficult workout I have ever tried.
The trainer who takes the main role, is a young northern lad who teaches tension training methods. I hadn't heard of this, and on watching it through before attempting it seemed very easy. In some ways ...
Advantages: Fun, gets you moving/sweating Disadvantages: Some routines tricky
The hotpants workout. Why did I buy this? Do I have a creeping desire to shimmy around a disco like Kylie, with bits of my perfectly toned rear on display for all to see? Erm, no. It was the no.1 selling exercise dvd when I bought it on Amazon last year, so I figured it must be good.
This dvd has, as you can see, an annoyingly pert bottom on the cover. I figured it was just a sales tactic but turns out to be one of the dancers in the dvd. The dvd has the following chapters:

If you choose to play the dvd from start to finish, you will be greeted with a video style-y dance performance by Mr. Dan Karaty, choreographer to stars like Kylie and Britney. While there is no doubting Mr. K is an excellent ...
