DVD Description
Jennifer Ellison’s FAT BLASTER workout is THE weight loss DVD of the year!
The former glamour model has gone from ‘hippo mama’ (Jennifer’s words!) to bikini babe – after blasting off an astonishing FIVE stone in weight.
Jennifer who piled on the pounds with her first baby has dropped 6 DRESS SIZES – and now she’s sharing the secrets of her incredible transformation in this workout DVD.
Follow Jen’s 5-step workout:
The FAT BLASTER Workout helps shift the fat in three stages – just like Jennifer herself has, moving up in intensity from TONE BLASTER – a fat busting routine based on weights and short sharp sprints, up to BOX BLASTER – a faster-paced fat burning workout inspired by boxing to POWER BLASTER – which zaps fat with power jumps and squats for those last difficult to shift few pounds. There’s also a workout just for wobbly tums, BELLY BLASTER.
The DVD is co-presented by the celebrity trainer Elia Siaperas, behind Hannah Waterman and Clare Nasir’s hit fitness DVDs.

Format:DVD
I have seen negative reviews for other DVDs being too hard, but anyone who has lost weight in the past will know that you have to work hard to lose it! I would consider myself to have a reasonable fitness level, am a size 10-12 and need to lose about a stone and a half. I work out 4-5 times a week using a mix of aerobic and Pilates work out DVDs so this was my first venture into the world of interval training and it was a shock to the system! This is without a doubt very difficult.
If you have a low level of fitness or are new to exercise do not be disheartened if you struggle with this at first, and I would say stick to the first section till you feel comfortable before moving on (This is what the suggested approach is, but I just went for it and did the whole thing on my first go!).
Something to bear in mind; Jennifer only had a stone to go when she started this type of training, so would have already lost 4 stone and have increased her fitness level, so again, don't be to hard on yourself if you find this difficult at first. If you stick with it you will see results as it is very challenging.
Cons; I agree with other comments that it is a pain that the warm up and cool down are built into the main sessions, so if you want to stop at any point you will need to forward through the last session. Also, the cool down is no where near sufficient for the level of intensity, I did some extra stretches myself.
I also found Jennifer very annoying! I am probably being a bit harsh here, as she is not a fitness instructor by trade. Her intro was awful "poor me - I was called a hippo" - She was big for a few months as she is naturally quite petite, try being large for most of your life and then I might have some sympathy for you!
Pros; you will lose weight quickly if you can stick to this and combine it with healthy eating.

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.

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...
