Jennifer Ellison's Fat Blaster Workout [DVD]

First of all, even though the trainer in this is Elia Siaperas, who presented the Hannah Waterman and the Claire Nasir DVDs, this DVD is different to the respective DVD's (someone was always going to complain about that, so just to warn anyone)
With those ones, the sections are all very hard to do, whereas with this one, although all the sections are very tough, they build up throughout the DVD from tough aerobic style, through boxing, there's also a plyometrics section, which I was nearly crying by the end of as it was so difficult. The belly buster section is brilliant, I can tell if I keep doing it I will get abs like Jennifer (Im currently looking very much like her before picture, so I will try to update to let everyone know how Im coming along). Due to the format of this particular DVD, I do feel like I can get through it all (barely) although as each section is individually such a great workout, I wouldn't need to do the whole thing. The stretching section was good, although considering Jennifer was a dancer, it could have been better, she has clearly had an influence on the DVD itself as there are certain moves that have a certain ballet edge to them.
Another great and VERY important thing is that her technique of exercise is very good, so I was happy to follow her.
I've looked at the diet section and I think that I will start following that as well as the exercise (it worked for Jennifer)
She does look amazing, and this is a very good reason to want to carry on, every time I wanted to stop any exercise I took one look at her and carried on.
Even though I love this DVD and can see myself doing it regularly, if I had to be critical, Id say that there could have been more extras, maybe a dance section, like I said, maybe more stretching, but don't let this put you off all in all, its an amazing DVD.

Three main sections. I don't do the boxercise section as I've had two children and there is a lot of jumping (pelvic floor not what it was!!!).

I have not done interval training before, I'm reasonably fit as I do 30 mins on my cross trainer 4 - 5 times per week. I have a stone and a half to lose and I was looking for something to alternate with my cross trainer to try to speed up my weight loss. I found the workouts (tone blaster and power blaster) challenging (especially power blaster) and I really enjoyed the belly blaster sit up section as it uses arm weights aswell.

Jennifer came across really well, not annoying like some other celebrities who feel the need to talk throughout the DVD, I think some forget that the idea is for the DVD to be played over and over.

What I didn't like was that the warm up was within the tone blaster section and the cool down was within the power blaster section. I don't understand why DVD creators don't put these as separate sections as they all go on about how important it is to do these parts yet they don't make it easy when they are included in other sections!

The easiest way for me to do this DVD is to always do tone blaster followed by power blaster and then go on to belly blaster!

I don't generally buy celebrity DVDs but I was intrigued by the interval training nature of this DVD. Jennifer claims that 10 mins of interval training is the same as a 40 or 50 minute run. I'm not sure I'm convinced that is true but I certainly did feel that I had done a substantial workout so I'm pleased nonetheless.

I would recommend this DVD.

I have been a fan of Hannah Waterman's fitness dvd (with Elia) and it worked for me. However, I was in need of a new regime after eighteen months. I am not disappointed with Jennifer's Fat Blaster. I am getting used to the more casual and relaxed activity. I also like the setting as it's fresh and bright, although has atmosphere. I can't say yet if it's working, but I feel good and toned after only a few uses. I suspect that I will continue to use both the Hannah Waterman dvd and this one going forwards. I had to concentrate using the Jennifer Ellison one at the start but it was worth it!! Go for it, it's got a healthy feel to it...
