When it comes to exercise, enjoyment is key. More importantly than that you have got to be in the right mindset to begin with. As soon as you think " right that's it, it's coming off" those endorphins start flowing. In my experience, you're better off not buying into a scrawny celebrities range of dvds and equipment. Start with baby steps, walk a bit more, just put on your favourite music and bop around the front room, then if you want buy an exercise bike, a stepper, or some resistance bands and of course modify your diet. I'll say one thing for Davina though, love her or loathe her (I personally don't mind her) - she's stuck with it and her fitness is obviously something she's 100% comitted to. You've only got to look back at plethora of tv and reality stars who've jumped on this bandwagon, headlined their own range of fitness dvds, looked slim and fit for a while then have given up and piled it all back on again - I'm not knocking them - that's life - but more than proves that the only person you need to get yourself on the right track is yourself and a bit of determination.
As I said before, these exercise dvds are gruelling, even the ones that are supposed to be fun eg, Colleen Nolan's disco workout. I had more fun making up my own dances to Y.M.C.A or Disco Inferno and got better results as I was not having to waste my energy trying to get the steps right and keep up, or completely knacker myself out with warm up exercises before I even started. Your exercise equipment, if you chose to buy any is not gonna be any better from having "Davina xxx" printed on it. Don't get me wrong I totally understand the need for H&S in these dvds as nobody wants to get sued for displaced joints and other injuries - but in real life we don't all start limbering up if we're going out dancing, cycling or walking, it's all exercise and it's fun. Don't let these celebs suck all the fun out of getting yourself fitter -or your money for that matter!
