Not sure if this is the right place to post this type of message but can anyone recommend a fitness video? I want something high energy that will really make me sweat that will last 30-40 minutes. I'm relatively fit already, I run every other night Hmm - well I'm supposed to - but I have a dress size to lose in 8 weeks so am trying to pull out all the stops and hopefully exercise every day!! The DVD will be for the days I don't run.

Have heard good things about Davina, but any suggestions welcome!!!!

Thanks
Mandy

I have just taken delivery of Jillian Michaels 'Banish Fat - Boost Metabolism'

'Lose up to 5 pounds a week' it says on the front.

5 min warmup
40 min cardio circuit broken down into seven 6 min circuits to challenge body and torch metabolism, burn mega fat and drop unwanted pounds.
5 min cool down

Haven't tried it yet - don't dare - but sounds good. :)

Sorry for hijack-Lady, can you let me know what that one is like-I'm quite keen to order it too!

Mandy, would recommend anything by Jillian Micheals or Davina-I think they are the only two worth doing TBH.

Ooh yes, Jillian Michaels - 30-day Shred might not be long enough for you (20 minutes), but is very effective (I can't stand exercise and the last time I did a fitness DVD was Jane Fonday circa 1987!), and even I don't find it tedious.

Best thing about it is that it does strength, abs and cardio, so you might find the toning benefits help with the dress-size drop as much as the cardio that LotF has suggested.
