DVD Description
Did you know that working out to your maximum capacity for just 30 minutes can be more effective than a full hour spent working less efficiently?

With this in mind, my trainers Jackie and Mark and I have created three complete new fitness sessions for my brand new DVD. We've made the most of every second of the workouts, so that each workout only takes 30 minutes! That's only an hour and a half of exercise a week - doesn't sound too bad does it?! Pump This works the muscles really well and includes small but intensive interval training sessions.

Cardio Box This is brilliant and loads of fun to do, as it combines intensive fat burning exercise with some boxing moves.

Core Stability This is all about poise, posture, balance and can have a huge impact on your overall health and wellbeing. Being fit and healthy has given me more energy then I could have ever imagined and I honestly still believe that working out three times a week and eating three healthy meals a day is the best way to get fit and lose weight - it's that simple!

Plus, as a special treat, there is an option to shut me up and pump up the tunes - just choose the ' Mostly Music ' option at the start and crank it up! So go for it and make exercise part of your life. It's done the trick for me!

Customer Reviews

Good, but not great
I had Davina's first workout and have used it a lot so I was looking forward to this one.
This DVD is split into three workouts which we are told need only be done once each a week.
The first one is a Pump section which combines weights with leg work. This time, instead of doing squats etc then a weights section, we do them together. This one is very good and I can already feel the effects.
The second is a Boxing Cardio section which has a series of boxing and kicking moves. This is a fairly intensive section, and quite fun to do.
The third is called Core Stability and that has poses like the plank and breathing exercises. Some of it was surprisingly difficult and will take a bit of practice.
Each session lasts 30 minutes, but seems to go much faster.
However, I do have some quibbles with it.
One is that often things aren't explained very well, so in the first section Davina will sometimes move into the next exercise without any warning. This, I suppose, won't matter once you are used to the workout but I found it a bit annoying.
The second is that in the boxing section we are not always told which foot or hand to use and it's difficult to tell from what they are doing because the cameraman often changes angles. It is quite confusing.
Davina on the back of the DVD tells us we only need to do each section once a week, but during the workout or on the extras she tells us more than once that she had a really hard workout of an hour with either Mark or Jackie - so I think if we wanted a body like Davina's we'd need more than 1.5 hours a week.
The recipes that are on the DVD as extras were a bit weak - I thought Davina would be showing us how to make them but the ingredients are just typed up on the screen and very difficult to read.
However, I did enjoy it overall and I'm glad I bought it.

Excellent for busy people
After having a baby and returing to work full time I have little time for excercise, this DVD has changed that I have been getting up at 6.20am 3 times a week to do this DVD and it really sets me up for the day. I loved the pump and Cardio box sections they really got my heart rate up although I must agree after doing them for the first time I could hardly walk. The Core Stability not my favourite section but I feel in time I will see the results and it is relaxing. Overall I would recommned this DVD to anyone with a busy lifestyle it really fits the bill, I do not think that anyone who is really into working out would like this as it is basic.

Fun and flexible
After having had a baby, exercising at home is the perfect way to get fit again without needing a babysitter. Davina's DVD is fun, the exercises are easy to follow and explained properly. The format of 3 x 30 minutes is perfect - not too much but enough to give you the feeling that you have done something for your body and mind - and getting you back in shape.
A great combination together with her first DVD - The power of 3 which is categorised in different body parts - and equally fun.
