Vicky Entwistle - WOW! - Weight Off Workout! (DVD)

As my 50th birthday approaches, (too fast), I know now is the time to do something positive about my weight, I'm about 3 stones overweight. Also, the prospect of an exotic holiday later this year has really given me the incentive to act positively.
I am a dedicated 'Corrie' fan and had recently noticed how much weight Vicky Entwistle, (aka Janice Battersby), had lost; she looks fantastic, fit and healthy. That was it, I decided to get a dvd, (on ebay), and go straight on a diet.
It's working... after 6 weeks I have lost 20lb, my body fat is melting away and my limbs are more supple/flexible. I hadn't exercised properly for years so
I cannot recommend this dvd enough. Vicky is an inspiration. It is easy to follow, uncomplicated, with mostly boxing moves, ideal for those of us who havn't exercised for a while. Instructor Richard Callender is clear and concise with his instruction.
It will make you sweat... it will probably make you ache... but as Vicky says, your body will get to 'like it'. Mine does, I do it a least 3 times a week, as recommended, in fact if I don't get time to do it one day I miss it... that's something I never thought I'd say!
I like the fact that you can do the exercises at home without having to move the entire contents of the living/bedroom around! I cannot give it enough praise.
The only thing missing was a bit more about Vicky's progress leading up to the making of the dvd, there is a little bit but I would have been interested to see more.
Highly recommended...

Good luck!

P.S.UPDATE 25/06/07 Just wanted to add since writing this review that I'm still losing weight and working out to the dvd. Funnily enough I now ache more than I did when I started! I am using muscles I didn't know I had, the more agile/ fitter I become the more effort I can put into the exercises... still a great dvd. You must watch what you eat too, I've cut out most fat, cheese, full milk and chocolate, no fried food touches my lips; instead I eat lots of veg and fruit and drink lots of water, (especially during the exercises!). Just eat sensibly... you can do it! If I can... anyone can!

Good luck, Chris X

18th OCTOBER 2007 - UPDATE - LOST THREE STONE IN TOTAL NOW - HOORAY!!!!!!! Still using the DVD as well... Good luck, Chris X

I wanted to buy it because I had heard from a friend that it was good and had borrowed the DVD from my local library to try it out.

This workout really gets you moving, its not hard at all but you can still feel the burn.

Its a great way to get back in shape only 10min warm up & 20min session the 10min belly shrinker it geart.

I bought this to help me get fit at home, the photos on the front speak for them selves. It is so easy to follow from the moment you start you are burning calories even on the warm up. best work out dvd ever.

Great dvd, consists of a great fat burning section really get's you into a sweat, unlike some dvd's! There is also a toning section!
I needed a dvd that gave me abit of a challange as I am an active person and this one does just that! The routines are fun to do! 10/10

This is a simple but effective workout. The moves are really easy to follow and is overall very good.

It works, plus Vicky is proof that it does, she has'nt put the weight back on, and she looks FAB, I'm in my late sixties and I find if I just do the warm up, It's enough, I work up a sweat and I feel great afterwards.my daughter on the other hand does the whole lot, and she too thinks it's a great work out.

This dvd is exellent really gets your muscles working. I was recommended it so decided to give it a go and i'm so glad I did. Why not try it yourself to see and feel the difference.

brilliant, very easy to do and stick to. dont dislike anything about this dvd, would advise this for any-one of any age

Easy to follow exercises. To soon to see how much weight i lose but i'm hopefull. I would reccomend it to anyone who wants an easy to follow routine.

fantastic condition and really fast delivery would recomend to anyone good ebayer thanks .................................................................................................................................................

Had this dvd about 2 months now and i feel so much better in myself,i do it every other day it is easy to follow and not annoying at all !!! Once i have been doing it 3 months i will weigh and measure myself as it took vicky 3 months to look like she does,i can already see improvements on my tummy !!!!!!!!

A must have workout DVD. Suitable for beginners as you can build up to the more advanced moves. Great for advanced keep fitters as you can put moire effort in and keep the routines going for longer.
Vicky and Richard are excellent, they keep you motivated. All the exercises and routines are fun and you will certainly notice the difference in your body tone. My abs, tummy legs and arms are certainly toned now.
I have also lost weight and have been using this DVD for about 6 weeks.
I enjoyed Richard Callender so much i also bought The Jordon workout DVD which is equally as good.
I would certainly recommend this DVD for the beginner or advanced.

Easy to get into. Not daunting like others I have tried. To see her in the beginning and how she is now is very motivating.I am enjoying the boxing moves and the fact that its simple enough to keep up with if you are not the most co ordinated and athletic of people.

I have only been doing this dvd for one week and already it has had some brilliant effects, I have gone down one dress size so you do get to see results really fast . It is very easy to follow as everything is broken into steps, its easy to keep up with as well and you don't have to be a contortionist to do the moves. I chose this dvd because Vicky was the same size as me before she started the dvd and I thought if she could do it so could I. Its very refreshing to see a real person of a real size achieving the brilliant results she has. Alot of fitness dvd's are done by super skinny models that dont need to work out anyway, i find that really off putting and disconcerting because you dont get to see any real results and you have nothing to aspire to. I would recommend this dvd to anyone who wants to "enjoy" a workout, its very motivational and is full of encouragement, in fact i have, my daughter is doing it now as I type !!! lol. The added bonus is Personal Trainer Richard Calender - he can come and sweat it out with me anytime , its about time us girlies had a bit of eye candy to jiggle along with !!! Beware though - it is addictive !!!!

I really like this dvd. I was born without any sign of a co-ordination gene whatsoever, so any fitness classes with complicated moves are a definite no no, but this was easy to follow and instructions were concise and well explained by the trainer, Richard. It has a lot of boxercise type moves but dont let this put you off if thats not usually your thing, as its not mine, but I was surprised by how much fun it was and how soon you start to notice a difference in your arms,abs and tummy!Im reasonably fit, but the day after I first did it, my thighs ached like mad (i'm blaming the one legged squats) but again, don't let this scare you, as they are actually a lot easier to do than you may think, and you are not expected to do loads of unrealistic repetitions like you get in some celebrity dvd's. If you want to get fit, lose weight or just get a bit more toned, this is definitely the dvd I would recommend, its great for all levels and ages!! Good Luck!!

Having not exercised for a while this was easy to follow and fun. A bit repetitive in places but not cheesy like some other celeb fitness dvds. You don't need to have loads of room either.

I would also highly recommend Davina Macall's High Five DVD this is a bit more versatile and by alternating between the two I think I'm less likely to get bored and give up my good intentions. Having only been doing these two or three times so far having had them just over a week or so it's currently Feb 2008 and I actually look forward to exercising, something I never thought I'd say.

ONE OF THE BEST WEIGHT LOSS DVD'S AROUND - I should know really I own most of them :-) Once you are able to do the DVD all the way through you are so proud of yourself because it is hard - very hard! As Vicky says herself stick with it it does eat fat - so far I have lost 10lbs in 4 weeks AND an inch off my bust, the same off my waist and.... my hips, an inch - buy it IT REALLY IS WORTH IT(P.S. Im 47 so youngsters may find it easier)

I love this workout DVD it's my favourite.

I find this DVD works extra on my arms and my stomach and for me it is geared specifically for women, to get to those extra flabby bits that we all seem to have and can never get rid of. The trainer Richard Calendar has put this together with a series of boxing moves. Put your hand on your stomach while you're working out and feel your stomach muscles working for yourself. You'll be amazed at just how effective it is.

Richard Calendar is a really great trainer and gives clear and precise instructions for each excersise and change. I love the boxing moves and think that it's a perfect CV workout for my fitness level and I find myself completely out of breath but perfectly able to complete the whole thing. You can of course increase the effectiveness on your own fitness by making it high or low impact to suit yourself.

I would recommend this DVD to anyone, at any level of fitness

this is an excellent work out! brilliant for those who cant do 2 much 2 quick but u can still feel the burn!

I brought this DVD thinking that it was going to be 'the same old celebrity work out' but I thought that I would try it, well.. the first time I tried it I was amazed that I actually was able to complete the whole DVD, The exercises started fairly easily and before I knew it I was working up a sweat, its the first time that I didnt get bored doing exercises, The nice thing about this DVD is that it also contains a food recipe section (which I found by mistake under the 'EXTRAS' ON THE MAIN MENU) which many workout DVD'S don't contain. I would highly recommend this DVD and can see how vicky lost all the weight, its the only DVD that I will stick to and the only exercise DVD that won't be shoved in a cupboard..well worth the money,I wouldnt buy this from the shops as its very expensive but on Ebay I brought it for an absolute bargain

This is an excellent DVD. I have to say that it did not fail to impress me. I found it quite challenging to do at first but once you done it the first time, it gets easier every time. Its fun and it works you hard. Ive never sweated so much in my life.
I highly recommend this dvd, I feel great after it!!

I'd also been very impressed with Vicky's transformation and after reading the reviews for this DVD, i was keen to get a copy. Bought a copy adn have recently started doing the workout. I think this DVD has to be one of the best out at the moment. Vicky is inspiring, the trainer is very clear and his instructions are easy to follow. The movements aren't complicated and you don't need a large space in which to complete the routine. It is very boxing orientated but i really enjoyed this and was great after a hard days work! I am impressed with the cardio section but it is hard and i had to walk through some of the moves the first few times as i am not fit enough..........yet! However, the DVD is never intimidating or complicated and inspires me to want to get fitter to complete the whole workout. Very impressed overall and i look forward to getting the results!!

Inspiring DVD, very easy to follow, hard work but fun at the same time. Very good value for money. Vicky's down to earth approach make it realistic and achievable for anybody with the personal trainer making things easy to understand and follow. Well worth the effort!

Brilliant dvd best excercise I hVE HAD IN A WHILE ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE O LIKE BOXERCISE TO ENJOY THIS DVD
