Wow! Sharon's got skinny! Ex Eastenders actress Letitia Dean looks completely different from when she played Angie and Den's daughter--and she's thrilled.

"At last I've got a waist"

Letitia's shed two stone in weight and lost an amazing seven inches off her tum and seven inches off her bust.

"I've battled with my weight for years--as anyone who saw in Eastenders, or more recently in Strictly Come Dancing will know I tried all kinds of diet but none worked."

Then celebrity fitness trainer Dee Thresher came up with a routine that combined fat busting interval training with exercises to zone in on the stomach.

"I've gone from 10 stone 4lbs to 8 stone 4lbs and finally can show off my waist after years of hiding it. The barrel belly has disappeared--and it's not coming back! This is the only thing that's ever worked for me--so give it a go--you'll love the routine and you'll definitely get lean!"

Synopsis

EASTENDERS’ star Letitia Dean knows the problem and together with fitness wizard Dee Thresher have conceived and tested a stupefying system. Follow Letitia’s exercises, you’ll soon show off a sexy and perfectly lean waist. Letitia’s eating plan is also included.

Customer Reviews

Great DVD, a recommended buy
I love this DVD, I will explain why I only gave it 4 stars though later. I bought this DVD because of the trainer, Dee Thresher, who did the Natalie Cassidy DVD last year, which I have done many times and I wasn't disappointed with this one.

Letitia Dean looks great after her amazing weight loss, she doesn't say a lot in this DVD when exercising, but gives a workout explaination at the beginning of each section.

The setting looks like something out of a 70's film set, but you don't really notice it when you are exercising. The sound tracks are great and motivating when doing the moves.

The fitness trainer - Dee Thresher is as good as she was in the other DVD. Her cueing and explanations are brilliant. The moves in all sections (except for the Muffin Shrinker section) are well thought out, easy to get the hang of and enjoyable to do.

First up is the Body Warmer, which as it says is the warm up and lasts 10 minutes. It is not hard to do and warms you up nicely, but not too much, for the other workouts.

The Latin Sizzler section is 15 minutes of dance moves that you can pick up really quickly and enjoy doing. You can feel it really working and you certainly get breathless. Broken down the first 5 minutes are the most tiring - consisting of high impact aerobic style dance moves, the second 5 minutes are slightly lower impact and the final 5 minutes are doing a run through of the previous 10 minutes, but a shortened version in 4 runs.

The Bingo Buster section is a further 15 minutes of more areobic dance moves, there is some arm work, but I wouldn't go far as to say there are a lot, its more like a workout for the whole body, which I prefer anyway. Like the Sizzler section it's broken down in 5 minute sections, high impact, followed by low impact and then a shortened version of both sections in 2 runs.

The Muffin Shrinker section is 10 minutes. Personally, I thought this section could have been thought through a bit better. The first 5 minutes started off with abdominal exercises - Dee should have alternated the abdominal exercises better, it started off with the good old sit ups, which are always great and effective in working the abdominals, but if you suffer from neck pain, beware, the repetitions of the same exercise are way too many in my opinion (I know some may disagree) and if you are not doing them properly i.e. using you tummy muscles instead of your neck muscles, the neck can really start to hurt (even if you are doing them properly, you will know about it the next day). She could have done a few repetitions of sit ups for upper abs, then gone to lower abs, then waist, then back to upper, lower and waist, instead of the intensity of doing the same types of exercises for too long. It would have been far more enjoyable to do, as it was, I kept having to take more breaks than I would have to (the Davina DVD is a lot better constructed with her abdominal workouts). That is why I only gave 4 stars. The final 5 minutes was a good cool down stretch, but I would have preferred a cool down in a separate section (especially if you are rushed for time and can only do one of the 15 minute main sections). This was the same mistake Dee made in the previous DVD too and my only criticism!

In summary though, I will certainly be doing the DVD on a regular basis and recommend this as a good buy and investment for a better figure.

Letitia Dean lean routine workout dvd.
This is a brilliant workout dvd!
I have bought in the past, the Natalie Cassidy and the Charlie Brooks dvds, which feature the same trainer, Dee. I have enjoyed both those, so when I saw that Dee was the trainer for this newest celebrity workout dvd, I decided to buy it!
I have a very high fitness level, so am always looking for new dvd's to add some variety, and I the past have been disappointed by how low impact some of them were. The Natalie Cassidy and the Charlie Brooks ones, are a moderate level for me, so I use them on my lighter training days. I thought this would be the same, but I was surprised (in a good way), to discover that this is quite a high impact, and unlike the previous two, where Dee was the trainer, this one really goes all out, and gives a full impact workout, concentrating more on high imapct aeorbics rather than lunges and stretches!

It features 4 sections.

Section one a warm-up which is low intensity and lasts 10 mins approx.

section 2 a 15 mins workout which is high impact,(although can be taken up or down in level depending on your fitness ability) this first section is based on latin dance moves, which I found really easy to pick up!

section 3 featured more aerobic moves and was all high intensity, (but again could be taken down or up a level by marching or jumping the moves). This also lasted 15 mins approx.

Then comes section 4 which is a toning section.

The levels are split so you can pick the warm up and one section, or do them all for a full workout. The only down point is there is not a cool down following the sections, which is a shame, as I have to add my own stretches to make sure my calves etc are not damaged. All in all this is a good variable workout which is kept interesting by the short sections that you can mix up so you do not become bored.

Great Fun, Lots of Energy Required
I bought this DVD from Amazon recently and must admit I was a bit reluctant as I thought it would be a big dissapointment, like most of the exercise DVD's after xmas. However I really enjoy it, its very "strictly" and energetic and is great fun without killing yourself.

Its set out in four fifteen minute routines (warm up, dance moves, bingo wings and muffin top) and although you do feel it you know you only have 15 minutes of each section so it doesnt seem like your pushing yourself forever, after 15 minutes you can move on to the next routine.

It is very latin dance orientated so if you dont like dancing as a form of exercise this dvd possibly would not be for you.

The main thing I like about this dvd is the fact that letitia obviously follows the routine set out in the dvd herself, I hate putting on an exercise dvd and they say "the star has lost weight doing this routine" when it is clear they have never done the routine before in their lives..it makes you feel cheated!!!

all in all I love this DVD and if its got rid of letitias muffin top (she looks Fab by the way) than bring it on!!
