Review Carol Vorderman's 28 Day Detox Diet / Universal Pictures UK:TV presenter Carol Vorderman looks great for any age, never mind a fortysomething with two youngsters. Vorderman attributes her new slim shape and bundles of new-found energy to a detox diet. Her 28 Day Detox Diet is not a diet video as such. It is a 28-day plan to revamp the way you eat, plan and think about food. Assisted by "detox guru" Ko Chohan (who created the plan), Carol explains her own trials with diets that didn't work, illustrated by "before" photos from when she was two stone heavier and the "after" footage now. Carol makes it sound easy and is a charming host; her own physical beauty is compelling evidence for the plan's success. An illustrated card-the free 28 Day Detox Diet Guide-provides a thumbnail guide to the diet's principles. Basically, to flush out impurities and bloating, it suggests eating lots of fruit, veggies and such. No dairy, any meat- not even fish!-or sugar. No tea or coffee. [+]
Although the video lacks intense or scientific detail, Carol's approach is fresh, easy-to-understand and a joy to watch. Following three very different detox guinea pigs-a single mum, a single career girl and a married woman-via their video diaries, we are shown the real difficulties behind following the detox plan. This is the video for anyone who wants to lose weight and gain more energy, and is willing to make drastic, if eventually delicious and healthy changes to his or her lifestyle for 28 days. -Karen Krizanovich.

Review New York City Ballet Workout / Palm Pictures:The New York City Ballet Workout routine was developed by Peter Martins and the New York City Ballet along with the New York Sports Club. If you envy the ballet dancer's long, lean body and graceful, elegant movements, then this beautifully produced video is for you. First watch the rippling muscles of four gorgeous ballet dancers (two bare-midriffed women and two bare-chested men) performing the warm-up moves to classical ballet music, while Martins narrates: no ballet technique is taught, so it's look-and-follow if you have no previous ballet training. Then get down on a mat for slow lower-body stretches. A difficult abdominal series is next, followed by "floor barre" exercises to tone the thighs and buttocks while still using the abdominals, then moves to strengthen the back and upper body. Next is a series of standing exercise segments using various ballet movements to strengthen the legs and postural/balance muscles. The workout is divided into 17 short sections, which may give it a disjointed feeling if you're used to more continuity. At the end is a bonus sequence with profiles of the four performers, all dancers with the New York City Ballet. We get to watch them performing, practicing, and eating. One dancer makes the point that ballet is very athletic, but because it's supposed to look ethereal, the hard work stays hidden from the audience. [+]
If you love ballet (even just watching it), you'll enjoy this workout. (By the way, Sarah Jessica Parker introduces the video, but does not have any other role in it. ) -Joan Price, Amazon. com.

Review Jane Fonda - Abs, Bums And Thighs / Warner Home Video:You get two 25-minute workouts here: both are low-impact, aerobic routines alternating with intervals of lower-body muscle work using the body's resistance, no weights. The aerobic segments are taught by Fonda and two other instructors. The choreography is simple-nothing more complicated than step-touch, grapevine, heel digs, marches, and hamstring curls-and each move is repeated many times. If you like choreography challenges, this video won't hold your interest, but if you like to keep your choreography simple, or if you are a beginner to aerobic dance, you will be at ease here. The intervals of lower-body training, taught by Fonda, include moves such as stationary lunges, squats (without weights) and standing leg lifts. Both workouts end with abdominals and a stretch. This video is suitable for beginners. -Joan Price, Amazon. com.
