I've tried lots of celebrity dancey types of dvds but I'm not very co-ordinated and feel I don't get the benefit I should as I faff about trying to keep up with the dance moves hehe. Hope you like the dvd you have chosen.Personally I don't like Davina McCall I find her rather irritating haha!
Tess I saw that one on Amazon. It would take me 30 weeks, not days lol. I agree that if you like it you'll stick with it. That's why I go swimming 5 mornings a week. I love it.

I've got it on my Christmas list.

Re: Exercise dvd
It's a lot more expensive than a dry land one. (Over £100)I get the impression from my daughter that she and her siblings are going to buy it for me between them..unless they change their mind.
If they don't get me one I shall buy it for myself
Music while I swim - I reckon it will keep me going longer.

Re: Exercise dvd
I like the Leslie Sansone exercise dvds. There are loads on you tube and I find the "walking" is a great way to get fitter whilst losing weight.See below for just one - but there are plenty to choose from on you tube and also there is the Leslie Sansone Walk at home website.

Re: Exercise dvd
The thing I find with exercising at home is - it's too easy to find an excuse not to do it!
I had a rowing machine and I wasn't too bad with it but eventually I went back to the gym, I find the ladies there help enormously, we all keep each other going. 
A girl I work with does the dvd thing, I think it's a Davina McCall one and is very motivated, she's lost around a stone too, so good luck whichever one you decide on.

Re: Exercise dvd
I was dragged to the gym twice a week by a friend till I worked out it would be cheaper to buy a crosstrainer , which was the thing that helped my asthma most. I used to be frustrated by the banks of TV screens in the gym, and worst of all, the ghastly full length mirrors in which you could see your jiggly bits and sweaty face! I am quite good at motivating myself at home, as long as I can play my music loud enough, because it's made such a difference to my breathing and my knee - also I find it really makes you feel much brighter.|
