This is a really tough workout especially for the bum and legs! I love the fact that it broken down into sections so you can pick and choose the area on your body you want to work out. It's definately the toughest of all davina's workouts.

Pilates For Lower Back Pain

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Fitness
from: Blackhorse Entertainment

December 11, 2006
I've tried Pilates and Yoga DVDs before & have quickly got fed up with the new age music,, and have sometimes been unsure what they've wanted me to do.

This is different - down-to-earth advice that you can use everyday, with simple instructions that are repeated on screen. I've been in agony with back pain, and am now feeling a bit more empowered to do something about it.

Yogalates - Total Body Toner [2002]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Fitness
by: Yogalates

December 23, 2002
This is like doing a class in your own home. Its very relaxing, good for beginners and there are variations for the more advanced to do or for beginners to try as they progress. This is definitly for people who have tried conventional workout DVD's and been bored to tears with silly dance moves and annoying reps. This is interesting and varied with lots to do. The instructor explains things so well you hardly need to look at the TV screen at all. She has a pleasant tone and there is no jarring music to contend with. You don need props but these are found around the house, so no expensive equipment to buy! I would recommend this to people of all ages and all fitness levels as you will feel great afterwards. I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 just because ... Read More:

You Got Served: Take It To The Streets [2004]:Learn the Dance Moves Step by Step

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Fitness
starring: Dave Scott, Marques Houston, Omari Grandberry
directed by: Christopher B. Stokes

June 21, 2004
At £4.97 I thought, well I'm learning street/funk dance, give it a try. How big was the mistake? £4.97 worth of mistake. I think the price reflects the quality in itself. This is for experienced hip hop dancers only, and even then the routine is not a good one and is badly broken down with no individual moves, slow downs, close ups and or any guidance really. It is too much and too fast for a beginner and intermediate dancer, and even for the professional, it's badly shot so you won't always know what you're supposed to be doing or how to link one move to the next. This dvd may impress you, but you'll come away having learned nothing and not having improved your dance skills, which is why you bought the dvd. It looks and sounds like a gimmick, and that's all it is. ... Read More:

Slim 'N' Salsacise With Rosemary Conley

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Fitness
starring: Rosemary Conley

December 27, 2004
Well, due to christmas and a excess of easter, I finally decided to get fit for the summer. However, due to my complete lack of rhythm, coordination and style, I really didn't want to inflict myself on a class at my local gym. So, after trawling amazon, I found this dvd. In this, Rosemary does her thing without being annoying and "whoopy" (you know what i mean, when the skinny instructor goes "Wooo!" unexpectedly, while you are trying so hard not to fall over, step on your colleagues, or walk out to get a doughnut.). Easy to follow, once you get the rhythm, and not too sore after. Once you get the first section, which is a great warm up if you fancy a bit of a loosen-up after work, you move onto the second. The progression is good, without making you feel like you've ... Read More:

Moving 'N' Grooving (Dance, Fun and Fit for Kids)

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Fitness
starring: Lucy Knight
directed by: Ken Gray

March 07, 2005
I have to say, this DVD was one of the best buys I have had in ages. I bought it as a gift for a friends daughter and it went down really well. She has used over and over 'luckily DVD's don't wear out!' and she still loves learning the moves and dancing to the tracks, she even has her friends over to use it. I have seen that there is a second version and possibly a third on the way. This is gold dust for kids *****

Rosemary Conley Box Set - Slim And Salsacise/Shape Up And Salsacise [2006]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Fitness
by: Rosemary Conley

December 26, 2006
I am a 50+ grandma, with an ongoing history of back/joint problems and a dislike of "the gym". Although fitter and slimmer than some my age, I realised my overall fitness level had been markedly deteriorating and I needed to do more, despite walking and cycling regularly. Rosemary's box set has been my salvation and, after just two months of exercising for about one hour, five times a week, I am supple and can actually see my muscles toning up week on week. My family are amazed at the difference in me. This set provides a choice of workouts for all levels but is particularly mindful of those beginning this sort of exercise and those with the need for low impact exercise. I cannot recommend this set enough. Thank you to Rosemary and her teams of "real" people!

Mostly stretches with a couple of BEYOND BASIC pilates moves, and too much commentary in between. I'm annoyed to have purchased this...

Jordan - The Jordan Workout [2005]

Childrens Toy Shop > DVD > Fitness
starring: Jordan, Richard Callender, Jason Vale
directed by: Steve Kemsley

December 26, 2005
I know a fair few people have been reasonably disparaging about the workout in this video, but I wholeheartedly disagree.

When I got home from holiday about six weeks ago, I got on the scales and realised that I had managed to pile on weight. I undertook a calorie controlled diet (roughly 1500 calories per day - give or take a bit) and bought this video.

I remember the day after the first time I did it - I was in so much discomfort I could hardly move - it was a real eye-opener as to how unfit I actually was!!

However, six weeks on, I have lost over a stone and I can honestly say that I look and feel better than I have in years. This exercise dvd has played a big part in it. Not only is it a really good work out, it's also excellent fun. Jordan ... Read More:
