Hi there,


I am currently on day 18 of one called 'The 30 day shred'


It is put together by Jillian Michaels, the trainer from The Biggest Loser in America.


It is 20 minutes long, has 3 different levels that you go through throughout the month, and i am finding it is toning up quite a lot of 'untoned' (to put it nicely) areas.


I got it for ?5 off ebay and am really enjoying it (well as much as you can enjoy putting yourself through pain :)


Goodluck with the search

I reckon most of the 'I'm a celeb I'll do a fitness dvd' versions are a bit suspect - I prefer someone who you know keeps and stays fit, so my vote would go with any of Davina or Nell McAndrew's dvds. I've done lots of Davina - and they are good (if a little irritating after 100 renditions).


Any (like above) done by 'actual' trainers should be fab.


Good luck!

Strong Body, Ageless Body with Erin O'Brien is good, no nonsense and I like her style. Easy to follow but gives a good workout. She has a very good pregnancy workout DVD that I used to do so I decided to get this one and it does not dissapoint. But dont get it if you want high production values and music it is simply filmed at her house (I think).


Belly Blitz is great if you want to tone your tum (and would be very effective too if I actually got round to doing it!)


Tracy Anderson Mat Workout is good but I find her a bit grating.


I love the Mari Winsor pilates workouts. I know those work and they are short and easy to do in the evening.


I am a bit of a fitness DVD fanatic - if only one got fit by simply owning the DVDs!

I can't recommend the Claire Nasir Bootcamp DVD enough - absolutely brilliant! I lost 4 pounds the first week I did it and it was actual inches off the thighs! I've just started running again but I actually think I prefer doing the DVD - it's interval training and seems to make me feel better afterwards than even a good old fashioned run!

Don't spend any money just yet. If you have Sky, have a look at the Body in Balance Channel -275 I think. All types of workouts including Winsor Pilates, yoga, bangra and belly-dancing. There's also another channel close by that has street dance and 'high heel' workouts if you're into that kinda thing!

    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.        
    • Now as an ex patient my impression was that their is a general lack of accountability  or responsibility by the staff at FHRGP and heaven forbid you should disagree with them, "not allowed". They want total control with no scrutiny. How that practice survives, I really don't know.  That being said, two or three of the staff are excellent.
