Claire Sweeney and Fern Britton

Although I don't watch English TV anymore two of my favourite day time tv presenters are Claire Sweeney and Fern Britton. Both seem to be 'down to earth' and 'trustworthy'! So I decided to trust them with my body!


Just after the New Year I decided to start my exercise regime for 2007 so I invested in 2 keep fit DVD's. The first one I choose was Every Day Pilates with Fern Britton.

I choose this purely because Fern is a 'normal' woman who hasn't gone out to loose loads of weight and because if she can do it so can I!

The DVD claims:
Pilates has never been so accessible, or so enjoyable, as Lynne Robinson is joined by Fern Britton, the UK’s most popular TV presenter. Lynne has devised three short, balanced workouts for Fern and for you. These can fit into your busy schedule, whether at home or at work, so there are no more excuses! Pilates is a great way to get into shape and stay that way. A smart form of exercise, it uses mind and body to:
  • Increase your flexibility

  • Tone buttocks, thighs, arms and shoulders

  • Achieve a flatter stomach

  • Trim your waist

  • Improve your posture

  • Lower your stress levels

  • Improve circulatory, lymphatic and respiratory systems

  • Strengthen your immune system

Everyday Pilates is suitable for everyone, regardless of ability level and fitness. Lynne and Fern demonstrate beginner, intermediate and advanced levels for most exercises, so join them for:
An energizing morning workout – to make you feel energized, invigorated and inspired.
A reviving midday workout – toning for legs and arms, perfect to "iron and stretch you out".
A calming evening workout – calming yet challenging workouts to allow the tensions of the day to melt away.
Back to basics – explains the basic principles of Alignment, Breathing and Centering.


The DVD states you must watch it all the way through first, so I did, but I stopped watching what they were doing and I got mesmerised my Fern Britton's grin!



The other DVD is called Claire Sweeney - Perfect Fit With Weight Watchers .
I bought this one because it has an interactive exercise plan that selects the appropriate workout depending on the time you have available, be it ten minutes or an hour. It also includes Weight Watchers nutritional advice that works with the exercise programme.
I really enjoyed this one though like all the other exercise DVD's you have to watch it through first - so I did - and strained a muscle in my neck!
