Charlie Brooks - Before And After Workout (DVD)

I love this dvd!! Like Charlie i needed to lose weight and tone up after the birth of my baby, I gained 2 stone!! I find the work out really fun and easy to follow, You dont really feel it until the next day, I have been using it for just over 2 weeks and i honestly notice a difference in my stomach, it is more toned but i still have a long way to go before i look like charlie! I have lost 7lbs aswell so im getting there. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a fun way to lose weight and tone up. Its working for me!!!

I have had many workout dvds but i thought i would give this one a go, as some workouts get boring. This was the best one i have ever done,its easy and very fun. I have only been using it for a week but can already see the benefits. I also think charlie looks great, and is an insparation to us all.

I never usually go for these celebrity fitness DVD's, but after reading an article about Charlie Brooks and how amazing she looked after losing the weight I thought I had to try it! I'm so glad I did too, it's fun and it really gets your heart pumping and it's ideal for the living room and you dont need any extra equipment-well maybe an excercise mat for the end but not essential.

I couldn't do the whole workout at first and I still struggle but it is getting easier and easier and I'm feeling great for it, I have lost 4lbs in just under two weeks, it's the first programme that has worked for me! You do need to follow a healthy eating plan as well and the DVD provides you with some ideas for that too. Try it!

After my second baby was born I needed ( after catching sight of my body naked in a full length mirror )to lose at least 26lbs to get to my ' ideal' weight.I decided in that instant ' no more babies, time for you to have a bit of 'me' time, and get back into the type of shape I was 7 years ago'.
Well I scoured the internet for 'Workout' dvd's, read all the reviews, ( time permitting from feeding and changing of course, oh and looking after the other baby of three years, and a husband who's favourite pastime is 'lounging about') and decided that Charlie's Workout should fit the bill, well she was a tad heavy and had just had a baby of her own to boot,just one look at the before and after pictures gave me all the encouregment I needed, she now looks like a different person, she seems to glow with health.
Well as luck would have it my better half ( he he not ) had an ebay account, so without him knowing, I placed a bid, and lost, then another, and lost,then just put in £20.00 and voila I won, cost me 11.99 and worth every penny.
On a wet and cold Tuesday morning my secret package arrived, the kids were asleep ( for once together )I sat down made some tea and put on my dvd ( excellent packing and quick delivery by the way ). I watched and thought,crickey this might be a bit to hectic for me, so I had a little go and found to my amazement that after a little practice the moves were fun and quite easy,for a few days I took averything quite slowly until I was confident that I could follow the whole dvd and not pull things snd end up throwing it in the bin.
Not at all.....I now look forward to putting on the disc as it seems to have given me a buzz and loads more energy, the tummy is fantastic now,no bits hanging over the sides of my jeans anymore, I can even touch my toes with ease, it has even improved my dance routines on our girls nights out ( watch out all you young lads in Cambridge ).
My favourite bits are the Combat and the Pilates, and the only tiny gripe is the music, but I can forgive that because the rest is 10 out of 10 brilliant.
Even my other half has noticed a vast differnce and takes a lot more interst in me now that I look 5 years younger ( his words ).
If you are looking for a life changing fitness dvd and there are zillions of them out there, in my opinion look no further than this one, a tenner or less for so much fun and you get fit into the bargain, the only thing it dose'nt do is supply the tan, Hmmmmmmm where's the sun.

I have been doing aerobics/workout DVD's and videos for about 5 years on and off, and can truly say this is the best one that I've ever done!!! I class myself as reasonably fit but still work up a sweat doing this. Its very easy to follow, and really really does work! I didnt need to lose any weight (5'10" and 11 stone), but wanted to stay in shape, and have found that I've actually lost around half a stone and my stomach and legs are definately looking better than I thought they could! I haven't got bored of it yet (6 weeks down the line) and actually really enjoy doing it. The combat section is the best, and the pilates stomach exercises really do work. Trust me - this is the best workout DVD on the market at the moment. BUY IT!!!

This is quite a good work out but shame about the music. It's great to see Charlie before starting the workout and then a few months later looking great - this gives you inspiration to do it yourself!

I bought this about a month ago as I am getting married soon, and although I have been running between one and three times a week, i wanted something to do while here was bad weather.

After two weeks I noticed my tummy had got smaller. My waist went from 35" to 33" and my thighs from 25.5" to 24". I was about the same size as Charlie when I started and to be honest that was one of the reasons I bought it. I have also lost about 10lbs in weight in the past three months. I was going running anyway, but this has kept me motivated during the bad weather and has been fantastic for my waist which totally disappeared after having my son.

I am never going to be a size 8 with a 22" waist ever, but I am in shape fitness wise and this has a lot to do with it.

One main point, the 10 min sections are great, as you can just do a half hour workout if you are short of time ie do the warm up, one of the higher intensity routines and the pilates warm down (which is great for tummies)

Anyway, if you are out of shape and fancy something really easy to follow and want a waist again, I really recommend it.

Good luck!

Ive tried exercise dvds before and after a few times, I never use them again. The Charlie Brooks DVD is so 'do-able'. I do 15 minutes everyday and my body has changed shape and firmed up in 4 weeks. I seen a difference in my tummy in 2 weeks.

I absolutely love this dvd! If your looking to start losing weight but cant be doing with the gym, then this is the dvd workout for you! Ive been doing this workout for 1 month now, 5 times a week and trust me it works but you must follow a healthy eating diet with it else its just a waste of time. Ive lost nearly a stone and feel great.

The best part of the worrkout is the combat as it really builds up a sweat.
The steps are really easy once you know how and Dee the trainer is just fab. The music is a little annoying but all in all 10/10!!

This is a really good dvd workout, i wanted something that i could do at home as i just don't have the time or money to spend at the gym. The first time I did it, i was shattered, i still find it difficult after nearly 6 weeks to complete the whole workout but i have lost 7 pounds and 12 inches in total from various parts of my body. My favourite section is the combat and pilates. I'm working on finishing the high intensity section! It does work but you have to persevere and follow a healthy low fat diet too. Charlie is great and actually does the workouts herself, the only thing that puts me off sometimes is Dee the trainer who can be quite irritating. p.s. this is my partner's e bay.

I really liked this.
The routines are easy and you can just do certain sections.
I didn't really like the disco section but I thought the combat and pilates was excellent and the whole thing wasn't too cheesy. Just got to keep doing it.

Fitness trainer Dee Thresher puts Charlie Brooks through her paces with five ten minute workouts. Includes: warm-up, disco, combat, high intensity, and pilates cool-down. Well its good not great but good fun. I rekon everyone should give it a go.

I like this workout dvd because it really gets to work hard and really does get rid of your baby belly. I decided to buy it because my friend lent me her copy of it and i really did like it.

The CD was of superb quality and the actual content of the DVD and the work-outs which Charlie perform are great. It is by far the best fitness DVD on the market.

I keep relatively fit by running a few times a week but in the winter months its hard to keep motivated, so i brought this DVD. Ive been doing the warm up and high intensity every morning before work for 2 weeks now and have noticed how my tummy is toning up already, it really works your upper thighs to. Its fantastic for those with limited time and living room space, thoroughly reccommended.

This DVD is the best ever i have been doing it just over a week now and love it. yes it can be a bit confusing at first but just watch carefully and u will get it. I have lost 4 and a half pound and i have only been doing it a week its amazing. I would tell everyone and any one about it, it fantastic. just try it TRUST ME IT WORKS!!!!!!!!

I work abroad a lot and wanted a dvd to take away as at home i use the gym. i read the reviews on charlie brooks and they were all positive, so i successfully won my bid on it. once it arrived i couldn't wait to give it a go, and i really enjoyed it, it wasn't easy i am quite fit and found it very challenging, but definately feel like you've had a good work out, and i would recommend if you are fit and enjoy a good sweaty work out that works then go ahead and purchase the charlie brooks before and after workout....

I bought this workout dvd as i couldn't belive the difference in her before and after, so i thought i'd give it a go. WELL i've done it once, it was very good, very intense, and fast, but you have to watch it carefully as there are alot of moves in it and they change quiet quickly, so if you find yourself in a heap on the floor all muddled up, don't worry you won't be the only one. But once you know it off by heart i'm sure you'll look great. I'll stick to going to the gym twice a week. GOOD LUCK (this is my husbands ebay)

I like this work out because it was done by a celebrity that isn't in the lime light too much, like jade or janice from coronation Street, and she is down to earth and easy to workout 'with'. The dvd is broken up into 5 sections and there is something for everyone. The only dislike I have is that the music could have been a bit more upbeat, but you do get used to it.

Just done this dvd for the first time. Really enjoyed the combat and pilates sections, they are quite easy to follow, and being a fairly large person with a lot of weight to loose i found it enjoyable without being to hard to keep up.
The other sections were good but will take some practice to be able to do them the whole way through.

I can already feel the pilates section as my stomach is killing me, and i hope the results from this section begin to show soon.

I woul recommend this dvd to anyone who wants to exercise without wanting to spend a fortune on gym fees.
Also if you do not have a lot of room this dvd is for you as ther is not much moving around.

I bought this dvd as needed to start losing weight & getting fit for my beach wedding & i am no gym person! Its a great workout dvd & fun too, certainly gets you sweating,steps can be a bit confusing when you start but you will get it very quickly, definately recommend!

Great product it was as seller described - brought it has I had done some research and this dvd had received great reviews!!

I would recommend this dvd to a beginner, there are different sections to work the whole or parts of your body. The dance moves in the beginning take a little time to get used to, but it all comes together eventually. My favourite exercise section is the combat, there are lots of punches and kicks in this one. There is a fast paced section to really get your heart pumping and burning calories. I felt very hot & sweaty after it, but i knew i had a good workout.
The pilates section at the end is very good as well, with stomach exercises that you can really feel working.
