Rosemary Conley's Seven-Day Slim Down is more than a best-of compilation, it's a fitness regime in its own right. The slimming guru might have declared that The Ultimate Body Workout was to be her last, but fans will be delighted that she's gone back on her word to produce a combination of her favourite sequences from her four videos.
The seven sessions designed for each day of the week last from 14-25 minutes and address different aspects of fitness: aerobic, toning, targeting certain body areas, incorporating weights and being chair (office) based. With a set that looks like Changing Rooms gone over-enthusiastic, leotards reminiscent of the 1980s, plenty of good old-fashioned aerobic moves, and stomping disco music, this is hardly modern stuff. But Conley knows her market--based on her dieting clubs--and knows that this market laps up her formula.
The smiles and glows of her participants featured in the seven sessions are an indication of the adoration accorded to their dieting icon. Cynics might sneer, but you can't fault Conley for once again coming up trumps with a format that works on every level: easy to follow, effective but not exhausting, upbeat, unpretentious and all in all accessible.
On the DVD: The Seven-Day Slim Down on disc comes with itemised scenes which makes daily selection painless, plus there is an extra on circuit training. The informative section on menu planning offers comprehensive advice on exactly what to eat and fat-saving tips. Conley's low-fat premise might be out of date in relation to the current high protein-low carbohydrates fashion, but it obviously works for some. The success stories feature dramatic extremes of super-fat and miserable women turned slim and super-happy. Best of the extras is Conley interviewing her choreographer Mary Morris, a fascinating fitness expert with 30 years experience. --Lorna V

Format:DVD
I love Rosemary Conley videos! I first started exercising with her 5 day fatburner. This DVD would be really good for those looking to get into exercise or those who have a substantial amount of weight to lose. The sections are simple to follow and her style is really encouraging and accessible.
However, I wouldn't recommend this for those people that are already relatively fit. I didn't find the workouts very challenging, even working at the highest level of intensity - they were just too short. I would look to the other Rosemary Conley videos if you want a workout that challenges you.

Format:DVD
Let me start with the obvious yes this dvd is extremely dated...certain workouts must be at least from 20 years ago so maybe it is not ideal for modern trendy people. Some of the songs made me cringe and don't get me started about those leotards. But it works and in my case this is what is important. And having been using it for over two months I am still not bored and look forward every day to do the corresponding workout. My thighs are visibly trimmer and my tummy is so flat. I had some horrible fat pockets on each side of my back and I was happy to observe that one of them has disappeared and the other is getting there. I find it extremely convenient that each workout lasts about 20 minutes because I can fit exercising with ease in my day. Moreover it is ideal for summer as exercising becomes unbearale when its very hot but these workouts were ideal as like I said they don't last long and are not too strenous. Of course a very fit person will find them too easy perhaps though each workout features different people working out at different levels. I really really recommend this DVD to anyone who is willing to exercise, even for the first time, but is somewhat overweight and is not looking for a strenous workout. Try it and you will see results even if the next day you don't wake up aching all over and begging not to get out of bed.

Format:VHS Tape
I'm 17 and have tried quite a few excersise videos, I really enjoy this one, the reason why i gave it 4 stars is because a couple of the workouts just are not tough enough, although most of them get me breaking out into a sweat, its great that you can do something different everyday, and the workouts range from 15-25 minutes each so it doesnt take up too much time, I do it every morning before college and I can see a real improvement to my body shape, (been doing it for a couple of weeks)their are both aerobic sections and toning sections, good job Rosemary!

COPY OF ALL HER OLDER DVDS
I've got most of Rosemarys dvds, which i enjoy. So i really didn't need to buy this one as its just repeats of workouts on her older dvds.
