Clair Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 It's been a while since I have watched it, but at the time I thought this was the most approachable and realistic video I had tried:http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/116118/Beverley-Callard-Real-Results/Product.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yep, that is the drastic sado-maso diet. But think what fun when you hit the bottle again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suej Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Well Rosemary Conley,( I know, very out of date for the slender lycra-clad exercisers of today) does it for me , so to speak..She speaks to me gently, doesn't hassle me too much or go bursting into intricate steps that I can't keep up with... But bounding and bouncing around to stuff like Raindrops keep falling"( how old is that!) two or three times a week with Rosemary telling you exactly which muscles to concentrate on does seem to work, especially in the winter when the walking or biking aren't so attractive.I've got several of her workouts like Fat Attack and Complete Fitness and more recently, Shape up and Salsa- I think she's great- but then it's like horses for courses, or wobblers for workouts, one woman's meat ,or salad leaf perhaps,etc...If you are interested there are loads of her dvds etc on Amazon and EBayGood clean fun anyway..

Pierre ZFP Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Have you considered a Wii-Fit?A bit pricey if you don't have a Wii already but great fun.(I also have a video clip for a Shii, the female version of a Wii but far too naughty to post here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemonimo Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 How about a stepping machine? I bought one on line and it's really great. It's b a l l s achingly boring so I do it in front of the television. Next week I'll be stepping and watching the final series of 'Urgences' so I don't feel the pain. It's a great cardio workout and in addition, I'm building up nice leg muscles[Www] ready for my 800Kpilgrimage with Sweet dix sept next year!

mint Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hey there, Jen, I think you're already streets ahead of me in the fitness stakes!What I would really, really like is a Concept II rowing machine but, alas, I don't have the room in my house for one.I do think all exercise machines are repetitive and boring but there's nothing to replace them for when the weather's bad and you don't feel like exercising outdoors and they do make you feel very virtuous when you see how many calories you've burnt (except that then I feel I have earned a nice big piece of cake or an extra glass of something)[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
