Gaby Logan's Fitness DVD

[cag69]

Has anyone bought Gaby Logan's fitness DVD and if so would you recommend it.

I am looking for something to help with toning, especially my tummy, that only takes about half an hour a day can anybody recommend anything?

Thanks

Hi Cag, I havent got Gaby Logans dvd, but have seen extracts of it in the papers. I do have the Davina Power of 3 workout, which I find is pretty good, once you can get over the irritating Davina, and her more irritating woman personal trainer. But the exercises are good. Its about an hour long, but is also split into parts, Warm up, Upper body, then abs, and cool down, so you can pick out the sections you want to do.

Hi Cage69, now theres a sexy name,

I would advise anyone not to buy these useless so called Fitness dvds, they are only produced to make money for the production companies and minor celebrities who cannot get work elsewhere.

A programme on TV just a few days ago showed extracts from a lot of these fitness videos and pointed out how useless they are!

You would do just as well to put on one of your CDs and prance around your living room like a prat.

Go to a Gym and take the advice of the qualified instructers that are there if you really want to tone your body and are prepared to put in a lot of hard work.

Good luck with your battle.

I disagree with Toureman. I have used work out videos/dvds for years. Maybe I am committed enough to using them, and they have worked for me. Some people dont have the finances to go to the gym. Me included, and some of these "celebrity" work outs do work. Its just a case of chosing the right one.

And whats the difference between prancing around your living room like a prat, as to prancing around like a prat in front of others in a gym? As long as you get the results you want. So what!

For a start, forget about training �like a girl� � if you�re training, you�re training, and there�s only one way. Find a few exercises you�re comfortable with and do just them, using lots of deep breathing and concentration as you do the movements (don�t waste your time on the other exercises, the ones that don�t appeal to you � if you�re not happy working out, you won�t last the course). Focus your energy on the area you�re working (e.g. abs), and flex the muscles as hard as you can (then try even harder). Move from one set of exercises to the next with very little rest, keeping up the pace, and you�ll have yourself a nice little workout. And you�re body will be burning up fat at a phenomenal rate.

Ten or fifteen minutes will probably be plenty (even five minutes will be tough at first, if you�re working hard and concentraing). And a couple of times a week get out in the fresh air and do some sprints � just fifty or a hundred yards (starting with short runs and not too fast), resting a few minutes between sprints. Work up to doing, say, ten sprints, putting 100% effort into each one. And if you have a hill nearby (even a slight incline), sprint up that and walk back down between sprints (don�t try this til you�re definitely up to it, it�s a killer). When you�ve finished that, spend a few minutes shadow boxing, dodging and weaving, jabbing and hooking, and really going for it, til you�re gasping. Don�t be soft on yourself, or you�ll stay soft. Follow a routine like this and you�ll surprise yourself with how quickly you become really fit and how readily your body sheds unwanted pounds.

Oh, and forget about the videos, the only pounds they�ll shift is from your pocket to the fast-growing bank account of the latest �fitness guru�.

I agree with dreaming, i cant afford a gym membership so i bought Davina's and find it very good

if i do the exercises on my own i stop when i get fed up of doing them but when i have a DVD to following i do all the exercises and know ive done a good hour of exercises. Combined with eating the right things i have lost weight.

Go for it Cag 69, what you got to lose?

i have the Weight Watchers Claire Sweeney perfect fit dvd, i t is good if you are busy as you can put them on random, chose the time you have from the list and then it picks out random sections for you to do, and i find it fits into my life and i actually do it!

HI again,

Thanks for the back up on the Videos Snook, as you say training has got to be tough or you don't get results!

I have never seen anyone dancing around like a prat at a gym, as I said above get proper instruction from qualified personel, they will make you become committed, it is very hard to keep the training going at home,

It has taken me 3 years to get down to my correct weight and fit , the way I did it was by going to our local Gym and the Swimming Pool in the Gym, I now swim 1 mile in 30 minutes three times a week,

I will be 65 in 2 months time.

[boobesque]

wow, good for you! i am on a health kick as well, although i am 25! i have currently lost 2 stone on weight watchers, have a a few more to go! When i first started getting slim was my aim, but now it has taught me i need to get fit as well and i am actually enjoying it!

good for you on your hard work, keep it up! :-D

[prohibited]

So has anyone actually got the Gabby Logan DVD that is being asked about. No one has actually answered the question.

[Minxie]

Yes I have the Gaby Logan fitness DVD and its very good. Replying to Toureman, I too cannot afford gym memberships. And I am very committed to following a dvd at home. Good luck Cag

Hi all,

Sorry about going on about the Gym , I use my local JJB Gym, it only costs me �19.99 a month, this includes FREE lessons and classes in aerobics, pilate,belly dancing, ( I have not done that, yet!) fat burning and many others, I also have full use of a very good gym and swimming pool with a dedicated lane for fast swimmers. If I went to my local swimming pool three times a week it would be more expensive than the above Gym subscriptionand I would not have use of the "fast" lane.
