...ultimate new Olympic event - Full Circling." With this depth of content in mind and due to the fact that some episodes are more enjoyable than others, the following are brief synopses and assessments of each episode to give a taste of the dvd's offerings. I have been as selective as possible, as whilst on the one hand I find it helpful to know at least a skeleton outline when buying a documentary dvd, I do not want to make this review the length ...
...and to skimp anymore would be a disservice to the dvd. SYNOPSES AND OPINIONS .....Episode One - Alaska and Russia The grey skies over a bleak landscape of rock and sparse greenery of Little Diomede, Alaska, (Palin's departure point) somewhat reflect the slow and inauspicious start to this series. Palin takes a while to warm to his task though his good humour prevails as this programme slowly crunches its way into gear, just like the archaic modes ... Read review

Advantages: an energetic and fun workout
Disadvantages: the moves can be a bit complicated

Having already tried the pump it up beach body workout i decided to try the high energy workout as i thought that it would be more challenging than the beach body workout.

Advantages: wide varitey of moves

...are very old fashioned in the way they are filmed. When the lady tells you what to do , the girl on the screen has usually already finished doing it. The music is annoying , a bit like music in a lift. There are a wide variety of exercises to do, but none really enjoyable. If you want a good old fashioned dance around to up to date music, then dont go for this. If your old and hard of hearing then dont go for this because you wont hear the music ... Read review

Advantages: worked for a while
Disadvantages: didnt work well for me

Most people will know Charlie Brooks for her character Jeanine Butcher in Eastenders, I am unsure weather this DVD did in fact help Charlie lose the weight but it is true she is now looking great. I aways feel these kinds of DVD's are stupid in the sense that the celebrities put there name on them and get all the recognition yet it is fitness trainers who actually 'teach' you the work out.
