DVD #3 - Beverly Callard's Real Results

Now this one is an oldie, from way way back in 1995. You can tell this simply by looking at the leotards (yes, LEOTARDS) that Bev and her crew are wearing.

This has got to be one of the original celebrity DVDs. You might recognise Beverley as Liz MacDonald from Coronation Street. Like Martine McCutcheon, I think Liz is fab. Another famous face (at least in Britain and Canada) who comes across as a genuinely decent person.

As is the norm, Beverley introduces her crew, but in a strange twist, she introduces them ten weeks before filming the workout. There is a before and after effect and her crew have seriously shed the pounds. Beverley says that they have done her workout three times a week and you really can tell.

Now I have to say, this DVD is FAB. It's easy for beginners, you can incorporate weights for further progress, there are always three levels of fitness demonstrated - just what you want from a DVD. It has Cardio, Stretching, Toning, and Weight Training. Beverley does everything in either sets of 8, or holds stretches for 8 seconds. You will never fall behind, this DVD is just the right pace. Another thing you'll notice is that there is no Instructor to be seen, Bev presents the whole thing herself. And is thanked by her crew by being chucked in the Country Club Pool.

The music is very early nineties, but it holds the pace well and after a while you don't notice that the fake Eurythmics are squalking away. Unlike the Lucy Benjamin video, you don't need a big space, although a mat will come in handy for the floor stretches.

I honestly think you would get seriously fit with this workout. It's old but it's great, give this one a go. Well done Bev.

She's got several video's out there. I may just well add them to the list...

Score: 4.5 out of 5. Because I have to send it back to Lovefilm.
