Ultimate Guitar Techniques - Hybrid Picking (DVD)

Advantages: Value, Many songs
Disadvantages: Quite boring

...I bought this DVD in 2007 brand new for £10. It has all of Kylie's hits from the 1987 single "I Should Be So Lucky" through to "I Believe In You" from 2004. There is a huge catalogue of songs on here, about 32. I do think that there are a lot of weak tracks on here and a lot of the video's/songs are very similar. There is no actual interview with Kylie herself. Kylie does look attractive in the majority of videos. Overall though I am quite disappointed with the package. Yes it is value for money at the price I paid for it, yes, it has a large selection of songs but you will probably be yawning by the end of it. Recommended only at £10 or under brand new....

The Wasp and Giant Man a married couple with the power to change size and The Hulk whose uncontrollable rages may prove to be a bigger challenge than the foe... Read review

Advantages: Short, effective workouts
Disadvantages: None

...I try to exercise regularly, and have always used exercise videos and DVD's, as I'm quite self-conscious and I don't fancy working out in front of other people in the gym. I have tried absolutely loads of different fitness videos, but one of my top three would have to be Ultimate Results by Beverley Callard. ~About the DVD~ This is the third out of four fitness videos Beverley has released. I already owned the first two, Real Results and Rapid Results when I bought this one, and I enjoyed them both. The first two were hour-long workouts, this one however is slightly different, as it is split into three separate 20 minute workouts. I think this is much better as for a lot of people, finding a full hour to exercise is not always easy. You will need an exercise mat before you begin, and you can also use weights between one...
