Format:DVD
My only experience of fitness videos in the past have been of the Rosemary Conley kind, which have always been very disappointing. Being reasonably fit I wanted something different and challenging. Nell's DVD certainly is that. Unlike other fitness videos you don't need loads of room as most of the work is done on the spot and there are no complicated choreographed movements.so its very easy to pick up straightaway.
There's no time to get bored because the action is fast and varied. The boxing movements are great for working the arms and the on spot running and jumping really gives a good cardio workout. I also enjoyed the section on weights which gives some different ideas for working out with free weights.
Nell is great. She doesnt pose and you can see she is working really hard. How fit she is!
I'd thoroughly recommend this especially if you are looking for something to work you hard and hopefully, with enough perserverance, a body like Nell's!

Excellent - gave a good, thorough workout - much the same as Nell's previous video Peak Energy, so if you liked that you'll like this. It's set in a much more glam location, and the trainer's the same army instructor bloke from the last video (I liked him, so I was glad about that!) There's some boxing moves and more upper body work in this one, and the cardio is a bit more spaced out so it's easier to keep up with. There's a 10 minute warm-up, 40 minute cardio routine and 20 minutes of arm toning and abs and bum work (which is a total killer - the bum exercises are much harder!) Basically, it's a brilliant workout, although I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. If you've already done Peak Energy you'll know what to expect!

I'll divide this review into two sections. One for those who are completely new to Nell's approach (and haven't tried the first video), and the other for those of you who have brought her other video.
1. If you've tried Nell before- then you will definitely enjoy this one. Remember doing peak energy (which I loved, by the way), and thinking- what a good workout, but wishing it was slightly more varied (and more merciful ;) ? Well then this video is for you. It is slightly less intensive,(you'll stilll sweat buckets though) with less 'running', and more fast walking/ crouching. And as a bonus, there are punches in this one which is good if you like tae-bo. the bum section is more varied and more effective, as is the stomach section. The arm toning, however, is much easier and I was slightly dissapointed about that- but you can easily skip it and replace it with the peak energy arm section and then switch again! the location is more glamorous and somwhat refreshing , and Nell's body is better than ever! And the instructor actually smiles more..if you like that.
2- If you're new to Nell Mc Andrew working-out, then i'll outline the routine:
- 10 minute warm up, (and if that doesnt warm you up, then nothing will!)
- 40 minute routine, a mixture of running on the spot, star jumps, punching movements (lots of these) whilst walking/marching, and knee bends. will get you sweating, but with breaks in the right places.
- 20 minute toning. first half is resistance work, i.e arm toning which you can do with/without weights. suits beginners.
then next half is press ups/sit ups, bum toning and cool down.
Like I said, this is a thorough workout which is as effective as it is enjoyable.

It's not as good as the others
I have all the other Nell's and thought I may as well have the complete set. It's not as tough as the others and the cardio section gave me shin splints. Read more

Excellent
I bought this DVD as I have recently become a mum so don't have much time to go to the gym or run etc. As somebody that is very fit, I must say even I got out of breath doing this. Read more

Excellent video that gives early results
I've had this dvd along time now and its excellent. Most of the time I only do the warm up and floor work out as that only takes 30 minutes and is often all I have time for. Read more
