The Y Plan - Before And After Pregnancy (DVD)

Advantages: Quite easy to follow
Disadvantages: Repetitive/Annoying music

...This DVD starts off with Charlie Brooks telling us how she used these exercises and "a healthy diet" to lose all the weight she put on during her pregnancy. They have a clip of her before she started exercising and was being weighed and measured, then again when she was halfway through her goal, and then at the end when she achieved her target weight. The DVD has five sections - each lasting approx 10 minutes. In each Charlie does exercise while her trainer Dee Thresher tells us what steps to do. 1. WARM UP This definitely warms you up!! Some of the steps are a bit complicated to follow at first and Dee Thresher doesn't explain them very well, but I managed to follow after about the 4th time of working through the DVD. 2. DISCO This section is supposed to be fun dancing round your living room - but the most you do is cha... Read review

Advantages: Wonderfully inventive, often moving music from the master
Disadvantages: A few wrong moments

...I find it strange no one has ever written about Before and After Science previously. When shopping for CDs in Paris I remember noticing that they had Before and After Science stickered as being one of the 100 most important albums of all time and rightly so.

The title suggests the duality in the album: the more pop orientated King?s Lead Hat and Backwater; then the more progressive, experimental nature of Kurt?s Rejoinder and Through These Lands. Pop is Before Science; the experimental is After Science; this being all... Read review

...very well before i can do the dvd. The DVD says pregnant women can also use the dvd but i cant see how as i wouldn't as you are always jumping up and down its a fast work out it lasts about just over an hour including the warm up and cool down. The DVD is broken up to sections which i think is good as, as oon as you have done the warm up which is section 1 you know you only have to do 3 more sections and the last section being the cool down so you are nearly there. The music is good to workout to as its up beat and fast. I gave this dvd to my mum to see what she thought to it but it was to fast for her so i would say its more for the younger generation. The price i paid was from ASDA for £9.97. I have been doing this DVD for a while now and i started getting to grips with it after 3-4 weeks, There are times that i couldn... Read review
