LORRAINE KELLY </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Lorraine Kelly: Living To The Max, £12.99 (<a href="http://www.rakuten.co.uk/" target="_blank">rakuten.co.uk</a>) </em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHO? </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Breakfast TV queen Lorraine Kelly, 56, teams up with Zumba expert Maxine Jones for her first fitness DVD. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHAT’S INVOLVED?</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Filmed at a real exercise class, Lorraine is joined by her friends for this workout. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Part dance, part aerobics, the DVD features three 20-minute sessions which focus on cardio, waistline and squats plus a warm-up and cool-down. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The workouts are all different and the routines are easy to follow with each one working the whole body. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can either dip in and out or attempt the full hour. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you’re done, if you still want more there is a 20-minute bonus workout. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is also a bonus section on motivation to encourage you to keep going. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>VERDICT:</strong> Watching real women working out in a real setting on screen is motivational and makes a nice change from models in a studio. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The moves are ideal for beginners because they are easy to follow. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Completing them back to back creates a challenging workout and is a great way to build stamina. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Best of all, the aerobic moves, set to modern dance music, are lots of fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

KYM MARSH </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Kym Marsh: Power Sculpt, £14.99 (<a href="http://store.hmv.com/" target="_blank">store.hmv.com</a>) </em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHO?</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coronation Street actress and former pop star Kym Marsh, 39, shows us how she lost her mum tum. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHAT’S INVOLVED?</strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Power Sculpt consists of circuit style workouts using high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and body weight exercises such as burpees and planks. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The workouts are split into two levels of difficulty and there are three for beginners and three that are advanced. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each workout focuses on five main movements with rest periods, targeted to specific areas of the body. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The whole workout would take two hours to complete. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However if you’re stuck for time you can choose a couple of the routines and just do them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is also a warm-up and a cool-down and a bonus section with tips on healthy nutrition and lifestyle. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>VERDICT:</strong> Being able to pick and choose the areas of the body you want to work on means this DVD is good for the time-poor. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don’t be fooled by Kym’s breezy demeanour, the workouts are tough and you will work up a real sweat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you put in the time and do the recommended three or more workouts per week you’ll see results in less than a month. </div>

CHARLOTTE CROSBY </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Charlotte’s 3 Minute Bum Blitz, £11.70 (<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/" target="_blank">amazon.co.uk</a>) </em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHO? </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the second fitness DVD from outspoken reality TV star and winner of Celebrity Big Brother, Charlotte Crosby, 25. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHAT’S INVOLVED? </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although the exercises on this DVD will burn fat and tone the whole body, the emphasis is firmly on one area: your bottom. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Made up of 12 three-minute sessions of HIIT, body weight exercises and aerobics, each one is designed to build muscle around the glutes and shape your bum. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Good for fitness novices, the idea is to start with just one or two then build up to the whole set. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For an extra push, the DVD also includes a 10-Minute Bum Blitz workout which will drive you on that bit further. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>VERDICT:</strong> Known for her bubbly persona, Charlotte is a likeable tutor which makes this DVD a lot of fun to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the quickest results however, you will probably have to do the whole workout rather than just three minutes. </div>

LAUREN GOODGER </h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em>Lauren’s OMG! Workout, £14 (<a href="http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/" target="_blank">sainsburys.co.uk</a>)</em></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHO? </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Star of The Only Way Is Essex Lauren Goodger, 29, reveals the workout that helped her drop five dress sizes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHAT’S INVOLVED? </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The OMG! Workout features 10 five-minute workouts that are made up of plyo-dynamic movements. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a combination of resistance exercises and high-intensity moves which burn fat and work all the main muscle groups, such as jump squats and lunge leaps. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Beginners can start slowly, choosing just a couple of the workouts plus the warm-up and the cool-down. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are more advanced and fancy a challenge, do all the workouts together. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The DVD also features a calorie-controlled meal plan with ideas for healthy meals. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>VERDICT:</strong> The upbeat dance music throughout the OMG! Workout creates a club-like atmosphere which is fun but may not be to everyone’s taste. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But the workout itself is thorough and it is clear why Lauren shaped up. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fast-paced, it is quite difficult yet the clear direction from Lauren and her trainers makes it easy to follow. </div>

ITV’s Dancing On Ice champion Daniel Whiston, 39, shows how you can dance yourself slim. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>WHAT’S INVOLVED? </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dance Fit consists of three workouts with easy-to-follow moves inspired by Bollywood, salsa and disco. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each routine is 20 minutes long and provides a whole body workout which burns calories and tones. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Low-impact, it is a gentle workout that is suitable for all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To see real fitness benefits Daniel suggests hitting the play button three times a week. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>VERDICT:</strong> If you like dancing you will love this workout and you may not feel as if you’re exercising. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However you will need to concentrate to keep up with Daniel as he shimmies and shakes his way around – the moves are fast. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you don’t have much of a sense of rhythm try watching the DVD all the way through before you attempt the moves.</div>

<strong>THE TRIMWHEEL</strong></div>

A wheel. Yup, a wheel about four inches across with a handle on either side which you were supposed to push yourself forwards and backwards with as you were on your knees.

<strong>FITNESS ALBUMS</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Long before videos and DVDs celebrityfronted fitness LPs had stars shouting at us over a disco beat as we strained to look at the wallchart that came with them to ensure we didn't do ourselves a mischief.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most popular were the Shape Up And Dance series, the first of which was by Felicity Kendal, Angela Rippon and The Generation Game's Isla St Clair.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Radio 1 DJ Peter Powell also did one (for K-Tel, fact fans), as did George Best with Miss World girlfriend Mary Stavin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Listening to Best tell Mary to "lie flat on your tummy and legs straight, arms out to the side" is hysterical. It will give you an abdominal workout by laughing so much, though possibly also a hernia. Not very healthy.</div>

<strong>BAI LIN TEA</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the 1980s, according to Peter Foster, the "slimming tea" was an "ancient Chinese diet secret". It gained some amazing publicity in a programme watched by millions: That's Life. The show revealed the product to be nothing but ordinary tea and Esther Rantzen described Foster as, "the most ruthless con-man I've ever met". The only thing that lost weight was Foster's wallet as he was fined thousands of pounds for the fraud.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>THIGHMASTER</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It sounded like something from Doctor Who but was, in fact, two pieces of bent tubing with a hinge in the middle which, as Arnold Schwarzenegger would say, you'd "skveeez" with your knees. It was sold as a product you could use while doing something else like watching telly and eating a lard sandwich.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>VIBRATING BELT MACHINES</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Popular in the 1960s and 1970s, you would sling one of these around your rear end as you stood up, with the machine vibrating your fat away. Or rather, only made your wobbly bits really wobble. Very popular with cartoonists who wanted to illustrate women with big bottoms and with Carry On films set in health farms.</div>

<strong>CHEST EXPANDERS</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How very retro: three springs with handles designed to form a more manly chest. How manly you can be once you are screaming when they have ripped out half your chest hair when it gets caught is debatable.</div>
