Review Callanetics - AM/PM [1981] / Universal Pictures UK:Callan Pinckney's Callanetics-a programme of non-impact, deep-muscle exercises-has been popular for decades. In this workout, Callanetics AM/PM, Pinckney presents two 20-minute workouts designed for busy people: an AM Class and a PM Class. "You'll get energised in the morning, completely relaxed in the evening, and of course a great body 24 hours a day," Pinckney promises. She is assisted by a small group of people of varying ages and flexibility levels. The AM Class presents some fairly traditional stretches and other exercises that use a ballet bar (you may substitute a piece of furniture). Some of these are very difficult toning exercises because they work the small muscles (of the hip and outer thigh, for example), and most of the movements are either isometric or little pulses. Most exercise professionals would say that working large muscles through a fuller range of motion is a better use of your time, but Callanetics has always had its followers who claim dramatic results. The PM Class, which she calls "meditation in motion", is quite similar to the morning workout, with more emphasis on stretching. If you're a Callanetics fan, here's a way to divide your workout into two short, manageable parts. -Joan Price, Amazon. [+]

Review Deborah Mackin's Getting Back - The Complete Guide To Reshaping Your Body After Childbirth [1999] / Getting Back Ltd:This complete video guide to reshaping and taking control of your body after childbirth is a realistic, effective, exercise programme in three parts. Part One can be started within days of childbirth. It begins with information and advice, followed by exercise sequences, concentrating on those areas made most vulnerable by childbirth. Pelvic floor exercises help to avoid incontinence. The programme shows the correct posture, essential if you want to avoid any unwanted injuries. The back exercises help relieve any remaining pain after labour. The last of the initial exercises are the abdominals, really necessary as they help return strength and shape to the body. Part Two of the video is a versatile and progressive exercise programme that provides long-term solutions. There are five mini workouts, and unlike Part One, should not be started until after the six-week check with the doctor. The workouts can be performed one at a time or all in one go, depending on the user's time, energy and fitness. [+]
Weight loss and nutrition are discussed in the third part of the video. It is all about losing fat, eating well and staying sane!The video explains how "short cut diets" not only don't work, but can cause problems. However, long-term fat loss takes time and intelligence. Exercise also plays a big part and can actually change a person's metabolism, as well as helping them get fit. The feature explores how to balance carbohydrates and proteins, how to and why one should avoid saturated, hydrogenated and animal fats. Essential fats that provide good protection against heart disease, and what foods they can be found in, are also discussed. In short, this video has all the information, and all the answers, a family needs to ensure all-round improvement of nutrition and health. -Lynne Unwin Deborah Mackins - Getting Back.

Review The Hotpants Workout / Vision Video Ltd.:For the first few minutes of The Hotpants Workout you might think you've tuned into Top of the Pops, as female dancers in skimpy, shimmery-yep you guessed it-hotpants dance around. Choreographer to the stars Dan Karaty maintains that Kylie and Britney have fantastic bodies thanks to dance. But the opening case study of a real dancer who had to get her figure back after a period of inactivity due to illness is unnecessary. It's only once the charming Karaty goes into the workout that there is no doubt he knows how to put across his point: dance is indeed a fun way to get a good body. The session is divided into six sections which target legs, thighs, burning fat, waist, abs and glutes. "Bounce" features a sexy bounce move, "Slide" is based on a sexy slide from leg to leg, "Rush" is a fast fun section, and by the time you reach the slower "Groove" section you might kid yourself that you're just steps away from looking like Karaty's confident back-up dancers. "Two Step" is the hardest of the six sections in terms of coordination, but it's not impossible. The only disappointing section is the final cooldown. It's not as fun as the rest, and the addition of abs and glutes might complete the fitness aspect but doesn't gel with the rest of the up-beat funky workout. Not for serious fitness fanatics but undeniably fun-and it'll do wonders for your dance-floor cred. [+]
