Review Matturi Aerobic Kickboxing Workout / Matturi:The Matturi Aerobic Kickboxing Workout is aimed at getting both body and mind fighting fit and it packs a positive punch. It's fast, it's motivational and it really has that feel-good factor. Matturi is the combined names of Uri Geller and martial arts expert Matt Fiddes. Fiddes provides the body exercises and Uri the mental ones, his hypnotic eyes staring into ours with spoon-bending intensity as he orders us to banish negative thinking and yell out, "I keep getting better!" Martial arts is about focusing your power and this is surely what brought Matt and Uri together. Matt Fiddes is a Chippendale lookalike with his long black hair and oiled muscles. His grace, nimbleness and control are evident as he trains his troupe, and although we don't see him in full kick-leap, Uri assures us that Matt is the living embodiment of the late, great Bruce Lee. The video contains an instructional workout, plus a 10 minutes a day mind and body workout. Although the 10-minute workout kicks off the tape, we are asked to fast-forward to the instructional training session and learn all the moves first, before joining Matt and his muscular gang in the gym. The workout's complex punches, stabs and kicks are performed to terrific dance music in a room that is lit like a nightclub. This moody lighting sometimes makes the moves difficult to follow, hence the need to do the training session first. [+]As an instructor, Matt is encouraging and helpful. He tells us what muscles we are toning with each movement, and how to avoid injury while training. And fans of Uri Geller definitely should not miss the chance of bagging a video on which he looks deep into your eyes and says, "I love you!" -Lorna Read.

Review Rosemary Conley's Five Day Fat Burner / Cinema Club:Famous for her bestselling book Rosemary Conley's Complete Hip and Thigh Diet and many other exercise and diet tapes, Rosemary Conley is such an established name in the fitness business that you know that any video from her won't be faddy, but based on solid research that definitely works. There are no fancy clothes and visual tricks here, and the only "prop" you'll need is a solid dining chair for the abdominal section. We are taken straight into the exercise studio where Conley acts as our instructor, describing the moves in a calm, clear voice. The exercises that promise to burn up our surplus flab are divided into five 10-minute sessions, followed by body conditioning and a cool-down. She recommends doing one session each day, with a day off every four days, so as not to overdo things. The idea is to step up our level of fitness gradually, until we can fit the sessions together into one mammoth workout. The people accompanying Conley on the video have all successfully lost weight with her programme. Conley reminds us of this at carefully spaced intervals-"Hayley lost five and a half stone"-to give us a goal and keep us at it. We are instructed to keep our eyes on the individual whose exercise level best suits our own. So we can leap along with Annette, or march with Debbie. [+]Conley packs many different movements into each session, so you really do feel as if you're working the whole of your body. But be warned, some moves are more difficult than they look, so make sure you clear a big enough space in the living room, and put breakables and the dog out of harm's way! The menu planner at the end is introduced with sensible information and deliciously piled plates, reminding us that, though we may be on a diet, we certainly don't need to starve. -Lorna Read.

Review Fiona Phillips - The Bodyshape Solution / Universal Pictures UK:A fitness regime tailored to specific body types is the basis of the Fiona Phillips' Body Shape Solution. With a band of stylish, professional women in black lycra uniforms to inspire, and the promise of redistributing weight to your figure's best advantage, this must be fitness for the Bridget Jones market. According to Sarah McClurey who devised the programme, walking swimming and low resistance training suit pear shape figures; step classes, aerobics and weight training suit apple shape figures and a balance of aerobics and weight training suit hour-glass figures. That's probably the most useful bit of information, and the part you're most likely to follow. The 50-minute programme is divided into four segments: warm-up, aerobics, routine, warm-down. But only one segment is tailored to each specific figure (the routine). Fast-forwarding to your bit isn't a quick option, as McClurey states the entire 50-minute session has to be done three times a week for results. The Bridget Jones set will likely prefer to spend that amount of time in a sociable gym, rather than being stuck with Phillips and McClurey-or, even more likely, they'll give up on the barrage of exercise-speak and settle down with a v. good bottle of Chardonnay. -Lorna V.
