Customer Reviews: Safe and energising! December 2, 2003 6 out of 7 found this review helpful Bought this impulsively wondering if I would be disappointed with another "celebrity" fitness video, but liked the clean, no-nonsense style of the DVD cover. Found that doing the workout was as straightforward and refreshing as the cover looked. Builds up gradually - lots of stretching and the dancey main workout really gets me sweating but with enough energy for the simple but effective floor section. Contrary to the above reviewer, I thought repeating the moving stretches a few times was great because I often find other workout videos ignore the benefits of stretching - this workout looks at everything, strength, suppleness and stamina. I also feel that Penny's voice is nice and clear and authoratitive - although sometimes her calling out "Huh!" a la MC Hammer made me laugh! She seems to enjoy herself and I find her enthusiasm infectious. I recommend this to someone who likes dancey moves, wants to feel toned, stretched and energised (rather than flat-out exhausted). Nice calming view of the sea in the background and rather minimalist but unintrusive music. Well done Penny! ultimate body workout penny lancaster December 2, 2003 3 out of 4 found this review helpful i enjoyed this very much. i liked the section on posture, and the main workout. i am unfit and am just getting back into exersise and thought this is a good start. penny looks good so thats a bit of an incentive to the workout. the only thing that i would have liked was a bit more information about diet as well at the beginning ( there is a mention). this workout though would probably not be very challenging to someone who is at fit already. Don't waste your money November 24, 2003 12 out of 13 found this review helpful I could just leave it at the title, but perhaps I'd better explain. Penny Lancaster is impossibly glam (a bit off-putting perhaps, unless you are in the younger end of the market, which is I think where this is aimed) but has the personality of...well, a blank DVD. Her calling is poor, she is terrible at motivating and I got no sense that she 'owned' the routine. The standing stretch sequence is repeated three times under the guise of being three different section parts, much of what we are asked to do is terribly dull, some of the floorwork is dangerously under-explained, her idea of Pilates moves laughable (go buy a Lynn Robinson if you don't believe me), the odd boxing movement ridiculous (I would guess she doesn't want to bulk up). In fact, the only part I liked at all was the main routine: high impact, quite fun (if rather short), terribly eighties in many ways but no worse for that (and it suits her look); it is for that I gave two stars, as the rest would get nothing. Leave it on the shelf! January 5, 2004 13 out of 16 found this review helpful This woman has no personality whatsoever! The fact that she feels the need to shout 'huh' every now and again at irrelevant stages suggests that the director was holding up a card to prompt her lest she forget. If you have a modicum of fitness this DVD is a waste of time as you won't break into a sweat. If you do buy it, listen out for the chimes of the ice cream van near the end of the cool down stretch. Leave it on the shelf!
