Great - By: Dr Seuss, 21 Sep 2008
The 30 minute workouts are great. I used to find that can't cope with more than 30 minutes exercise at a time, as I get bored & that makes me not startin the first place. HOwever because this is only 30 minutes, I am sooo much more likely to do it as it doesn't feel so long & seems to go quickly. The moves are even suitable for doingin in a small-ish sitting room. If you're not up for jumping up & down then you can do the Core Strength work out. I haven't tried the other DVD yet because the 3 30 minute workouts is so good, but my sister recommends it! Very do-able excercises. Go on, get it.

Excellent if you're short on time - By: Ms. L. C. Paine, 16 Sep 2008
This DVD is broken into 3 x 30 minute sections which all incorporate a warm up & cool down period. You can choose to do one, two, or all three sections if you wish. I tend to do the first section 'The Pump' (as I find that the most challenging) if I'm short on time & then for days when I have an hour or more, I'll do Davina's High Energy Five DVD combined with Ministry of Sounds Pump it up DVD (which has a much more interesting warm up & aerobics section but isn't as good as Davina for toning)If you're not very fit (like me)the first time you do 'The Pump', I guarantee walking down stairs will be very painful for a few days afterwards, thankfully after a while, it does get easier.

Well worth getting the box set -really effective if you keep at it. - By: Hippychick, 28 Aug 2008
This is an excellent value box set (£15 for the two DVDs that are usually £13 each).

Davina works with her two personal trainers , one of whom is big, bald & muscly, & the other of whom looks a little like a hamster with a squint (sorry but you are a great personal trainer if that's any consolation!)

The conversation between the trainers & Davina is a little distracting but gives you the idea that they do actually know each other (unlike some celebrity DVDs where the celeb doesn't know "their" trainer from Adam) & you can turn the conversation off on the 30 minute DVD & just have the music instead.

You will need some hand weights to do the 30-mins to best effect, but apart from that no equipment is needed. The soundtrack is great & you will find it's easy to keep coming back to the workouts - & when you do it really does leave you feeling fitter within weeks. Go for it!

Spoiled by Davina's endless complaining - By: An ordinary mum, 20 Aug 2008
First of all, the positive - the instructors on these videos are great. They're encouraging & enthusiastic, & the routines are fun & challenging.

In fact, it'd be a five-star review if it weren't for Davina's dreadful behaviour. She's like an attention-seeking child, running around, complaining, gurning, pulling faces, showing off...it's all rather demotivating.

I'd expect her to cheer the viewer on, instead she's looking for affirmation herself. This is enjoyable for hard-core Davina fans only.
