Amazon.co.uk Review
Dance Workout with Helen might not be the fitness equivalent of rocket science, but both the makers and Helen as presenter/instructor have created a bit of chemistry. Cynics will be keen to dismiss Big Brother contestant Helen Adams as a third-rate star jumping onto a celebrity-fitness bandwagon. But the dizzy Welsh hairdresser proves that she knows a thing or two about teaching absolute beginners. If you want something really easy and un-intimidating to get you moving and smiling in your living room--without experts droning on about fat loss and dieting and without a celebrity and expert competing for attention--this is it.

The work-out begins with a 10-minute warm-up, a 25-minute aerobic session, and a 10-minute cool-down and tone-up. Helen's four-year career as a dance teacher is evident in her approach. Instead of shouting out instructions she speaks them in time to the music, as well as helpfully indicating directions. Her silliness and the fact that she sometimes gets the moves slightly wrong won't go down well with fitness fanatics, but she makes no pretence about appealing to them anyway. And only those with a sense of humour will appreciate the glittery set featuring giant letters spelling Helen.--Lorna V

Customer Reviews

An Enjoyable Excercise Video
I recently purchased Helens video to help me fight the after christmas flab. I found the routines quite easy to follow and Helen puts you at ease by making mistakes and actually suffering herself in some of the toning excercise. Fun routine to complete.

quite decent workout video
although not massively tiring, this workout video succeeds where many others have failed in that it is genuinely fun! the instructions are not always very clear, but helen is a good presenter for this genre of video. would especially suit someone who is not particularly used to exercise i think

Enjoyable and effective
Don't be fooled into believing this video is only for the unfit. I'm quite fit, but hate exercise, and find this ideal. What makes this seem easier than my other videos is that it is fun, Helen isn't patronising and you can really enjoy yourself with it, but I get just as out of breath as with my more 'serious' purchases. It's easy to raise the intensity of the workout when you are confident and enjoying yourself. Unlike the others, this hasn't bored me yet - I've even lost some weight since I got it!
