    I have a couple of fitness DVD's but I am looking for some more. I am interested in aerobics and maybe dancing ones. If you know any that are well presented and fun I would like to know about them. :)

    No thanks!! I'll pass!


    Anyone else know of any good ones? Just to give you an idea I am looking for something alone the lines of Rosemary Conley. I have a few of her DVD's but she has the same steps throughout them. They are fun and well presented so I am looking for that in a DVD. Dancing and aerobics would be ideal but any other ones you know that are good (e.g. Yoga) I am interested to hear about!

    A personal trainer called Transform who posts here recommended some Davina McCaul dvd before, not sure if she has more than 1.

    I posted last week on a similar thread, to say I like Davina's DVDs. I have her first one, and use 'Three Thirty Minute workouts' a few times a week. I'm going to get the new one since the reviews are generally good.

    I was planning to get the Hannah Waterman one. I've seen a few clips and it looks decent enough.

    I have heard from a few ladies in our club say the the Davina's DVD is a great work out for home too !

    I got "Weightloss Pilates for Dummies" off Amazon.

    It just has the one girl on it who is a fitness instructor, she is not irritating & there are no background dancers!

    I find it quite good. It has standing Pilates at the beginning which is very aerobic & then you do floor Pilates which is great for the muscles. I found it really difficult to do all the routines to begin with but it gets easier over the weeks. All you need is some sort of mat or rug to lie on for the floor stuff.

    I saw this and thought of this thread :)

    Looks like Hannah Waterman's uses HIIT. Interesting!

    I visited the link g'em posted. Hannah Waterman got the best rating. Davina's and Rosemary Conley's came after her with 9/10.

    Rosemary Conley's workout DVD's still get good reviews but the problem is they are not intense, so they are good for beginners only.

    Davina's DVD's seem to up the pace a bit but some people find her irritating!

    I read another review about Hannah Waterman that said she comments on some of the moves saying that she hates them which wouldn't motivate me to be honest. (cause I hate working out and I don't want to hear it from the instructor too!!)

    Fufureida recommended Jillian Micheal's so I checked the reviews and they seem good, her workouts are intense and high impact...

    I am a bit fussy but I don't want to spend more money on DVD's that I won't be motivated to use..

    I've always found fitness DVD's boring until I got the Hannah Waterman one. Even though it is hard work, I still find it enjoyable to do and not boring. I was glad to read too that she got the highest rating 10/10
    I also prefer to buy a fitness DVD from someone who had weight on and lost it. There are so many stars who bring out DVD's that haven't any weight on in the first place, so I'm a bit skeptical about buying those. I like to see someone like Hannah who had weight on, bringing out a DVD and losing the weight. It just feels like something you can achieve yourself.
