#Power pushing! (2008-10-10) I wasn t sure what I d make of this DVD as I tend to go for hard working cardio excercise. However, I have found it a little relieving to have a change of pace and still see results. I am an apple shape, and with all the core excercises people have mentioned that my waist is already looking slimmer. My husband also has done this workout using heavier weights as he says it s not all girly moves. I have given up my gym membership as was too expensive in London, and this is perfect to ensure I still get a resistance work-out. I have also bought Core Solu...

#Not a bad workout, but it s a bit all over the place!! (2008-09-26) I bought this exercise dvd after reading all the positive reviews. I have to say that all in all its not a bad workout. It definately gets your heart going. My main dislike was that the instructor kept constantly switching from one thing to another. So you do a bit of cardio, then weights, then you re on the floor, the squats etc. It has different sections 3 of which are called Cardio but even in these sections she switches alot. Personally I like a workout that firstly warms you up, you then do a solid ...

#Great Workout! (2008-07-25) I consider myself fairly fit and often find some at home exercise DVDs are not challenging enough. This definitely worked up a huge sweat and left me feeling like I d been challenged and worked hard, but not to the point where I felt like I wouldn t be able to do more exercise the following day. Alison is a good instructor and the routines are fairly simple to follow. There were also some exercises in this DVD that were new to me. A great total body workout, both toning and cardio. Highly recommend

#alison davis is a legend buy her now (2008-07-03) just have to say. . alison davis is a complete legend and knows EXACTLY what she s doing!! work hard at it and you really will see results in 10 work outs, alison is straight to the point, works you hard, encourages you, doesnt let you get lost. . whatever, just buy it

#Actually delivers visible results (2008-05-24) THE EXERCISES: Watched this through first time and was initially disappointed as the moves looked very easy, HOWEVER. . . actually doing the DVD completely changed my mind. The reasons? Well, it starts off with a few minutes warm up that is not overly strenous but does get you warm. It then consists of segments - Cardio 1, plyometric 1, going up to 3 of each, folowed by a cool down. For those who don t know what plyometric is, think Davina s DVD s and the interval training. . . basically short physical exertion moving on to a short weig...

#Brilliat workout! (2008-10-21) I m actually not an athletic person and exercising sounds scary to me! Anyway a friend of mine recommended gym ball for toning and workout. So i bought a gym ball and this DVD from Amazon. Watching that DVD first all looks easy to me but wait till you try it! It really is a good way of stretching your muscles without having to go for 100km jogging! Im glad I tried this workout, really enjoy it for a beginner like myself. I would recommend it to everybody!

#Worth every penny, every cent (2008-05-21) Definitely recommend this DVD. Give it a go, for the price, you certainly can t go wrong. Loads on it to play with, if you don t feel like working too hard but stressed after a hard day at work, you can just to the cool down. It feels fantastic. Has really made me keen and I love working with the ball. Brilliant for toning, I ve been doing it for a few weeks and have had plenty of comments that I look firmer and toned. If you need to buy a ball, remember to get the right size for your hight! This is very important. When you sit on t...

#Easy to follow and effective (2008-03-07) Have only done this once so far but I felt it in my legs for days after so it can only be good!! Really enjoyed it and liked the fact you could take it further as you progressed, also like the emphasis on stretching which you don t always get. Would have given it 5 stars but wish the presenter hadn t felt the need to talk constantly!

#Excellent all-round toning workout (2008-03-06) I did this workout for the first time yesterday and ache horribly this morning - but in a good way. It s an excellent all-round toning workout. I was expecting lots of core (abs) work, but the workout actually incorporates sections for the whole body - you do leg and bum work (in fact, it s my legs that are the most sore this morning), press-ups and tricep presses, etc. It s 55 mins long but split into sections in case you want to concentrate on one area of the body only. The warm-up is also great, though I adapted it to avoid bouncing...

#Yeah Baybay.................... (2008-03-02) Well as i had read all of the previous reviews before purchasing this DVD, I really could not wait to work-out with my new ball and exercise routine. I think that its quite a good work-out, its seems just a bit too slow for my liking and i thought that the moves would be alot harder to do. I did enjoy the work-out as the DVD went on and its one that i would encorporate into my exercise routine as i can see the benefits of using this type of exercise. I would say to anyone who has no experience with exercising with a ball and is a firs...

#OH MAMMA (2008-11-06) This is the best dvd ever, I m a slave to Nell, and can t stand the twinkle toes grapevine to old music, need loads of space patronising keep fit dvd s. I ve got two of Nell s others and they all follow a very similar routine, all done on the spot and all so very very hard, within weeks my body looks fantastic, I lost ten stones on a low cal diet but this has pulled me totally into shape muscle definition is fantastic. I do this dvd five times a week with a run and a rest day and manage to do it with a three year old and a floor full of trains, cars etc. If you lo...

#My favourite exercise DVD so far! (2008-11-01) I have several exercise dvd s, and this one is by far my favourite one so far. The routines are really easy to pick up and really work!Fab music!Really fun to do, but really does get you sweating!Highly recommend it to anyone!

#Shin Splints Anyone?? (2008-08-20) I had this lurking in the back of my collection, and thought I drag it out again, for a change (from Karen Voight, Billy Blanks etc), well within 20 mins I remember why it had migrated to the back to the collection. I was so bored with running on the spot, and dreadful cueing, that I actually fished an old Kari Anderson one out, for some life and enthusiasm, and to save my shins. Nell, I am sure is a lovely girl, and I ve obviously missed something here. And what s more I am sorry to give such an awlful review, but if you like a challenge go f...

#Very disappointing (2008-07-21) I ve had Nell s Ultimate Workout challenge for about 18 months now and was a bit bored so I was really pleased when I saw there was new dvd out. I liked the ultimate challenge because it really worked you but was easy to follow and the bail out options were good if you were short of time or just tired. This new dvd is the same workout just without the bail out and a very condensed core section. The cardio section is basically 40 minutes of running on the spot waving your arms about and is brutal on the knees, shins and calves. I was bored stiff af...

#Fabulous and great music (2008-06-11) I work out 3/4 times a week usually to Nell or Ministry of Sound and do 1 or 2 10k runs so I expect a good workout. Not many DVD s impress me. Most of those I have bought remain in their cases having been used just once or twice. This is my favourite Nell DVd in terms of music although it is less challenging than her first and third DVD. I have used it consistently for 6 months without getting bored and still love it. Cant wait for her next one.

#too slow (2007-09-12) I m sure that this DVD will help tone & weight loss but, oh dear!, it s way too slow. Probably better for beginners or someone looking for an exercise that gives the feel good factor without needing to concentrate too hard. Like someone else I got bored with the music. Glad Amazon gives you the opportunity to rent before buying.

#My favourite! (2006-08-02) I love all of the DVDs in this range. Lucy is such an idol, which is very encouraging to us all!She is very attractive and makes everything so simple, which is great because its so encouraging and esay to follow and enjoy. Im looking forward to trying out all in her range !

#A superb fitness DVD (2006-08-01) I have to say that I bought this DVD because it looked really fresh even a little different to all the C rate celeb fitness titles on the shelf. And I am really glad I did. It is simple and easy to follow, and has good workouts for more advanced users. And more than that, it is really professionally produced in beautiful surroundings with a fresh modern look and sound. Well recommended.

#I Have Rolled off The Pounds...... (2006-07-11) As stated on the DVD, this workout is designed to burn fat and lose weight fast. After a couple of workouts, it has definitely done that for me. . . . . The DVD takes you through a warm up, a full aerobic routine, a fat burning circuit, tummy toning and a stretch. I was amazed at how much I could do with a Gymball, I had got as far as sitting on it. . . . . The routines are fun and diverse, the music is funky and Lucy gives great encouragement - a great DVD that I would highly recommend

#At last a proper aerobic workout with the ball! (2006-06-22) This DVD is fun,fun, fun. . . by the time I get to the end of the workout I am really sweating and feel like I have had a proper fat burning session! I have actually lost 1/2 a stone since I have started doing this DVD 3x a week. It is clear and easy to follow, but complicated enough to keep you interested.
