Natalie Cassidy's Then And Now Workout (DVD)

i decided to buy this dvd above all the other workout dvds as everyone knew natalie was a bit 'bumpy' before so it was more realistic, especially compared to the 'wags' workout. i felt confident working out to this dvd as it was routines commonly used in aerobic classes so i knew i could easily follow the moves. i thoroughly enjoyed my first workout, and i ached for the next 2 days, which is always a good sign!
i highly recommend this dvd workout.

Please rate this review : Actress Natalie Cassidy stars in her own exercise title, demonstrating how she lost two and a half stone.According to my partner she finds this a very good exercise programme compared to the many others she has had.Although she found it to be very hard work at fist as she went straight into doing the full programme the later found out after seeing Natalie on GMTV that she only started doing the first 10 mins each day at first.So be warned take it slowly.

I recentley saw natalie in a magazine and she looked fantastic so when i noticed she had bought a new exersize dvd out i was curious as to wether it would work. All the other celebs talk about loosing 2 stone in 6 mins but i personaly think that airbrushing plays a big part in their weight loss progame. I thought the dvd was worth a try as she was the same size as me and something was clearly making her loose weight in a short period of time. You can see Natalie struggling with some of the moves aswell but once you understand all the moves in the dvd it is GREAT! ! i ached for a few days to start with (but thats always a good sign) I have only done it a hand full of times and have lost half a stone. I am not a big fan of exersize dvds but i would defo reccomend this one! !

It is great to see how well she has done in just 3 months, however it does not tell you how often to do the workout each week to achieve the results. It also doesn't tell you that you need to restrict your diet to the recommended 1300 calories per day...not great if you are a busy mum on the go all day...or even worse breast feeding!!This just isn't enough. So i think that it's a tad unrealistic for a normal person to achiev these results. The workout however is good and will increase your fitness. I did it 3 times a week for a month and was then fit enough to jog for half an hour, which i would not have been able to do before. The best area for toning is definitely the thighs as there are lots of lunges and they do work!
Overall expect good toning and improved fitness but not a miracle, unless you combine it with the recommended 1300 calorie a day diet.

saw her interviews on tv after she had lost 2 stone and toned up, also remembered her as she played one of my favorite characters on eastenders and thought she has worked really hard and it has paid off as she looks teriffic.
so this gave me the courage and energy to persue getting myself tonned and in shape.

when u watch the dvd first time I was exhuasted just looking at it.
but the next evening I got ready and started the work out plan

it was tiring but being tired is well hidden with it's groovy up beat dance music and great work out instructions (my fave is the punches sections)= where you feel like ur a trained boxer with hand jabs

First evening I had to pause it x2 and take a breather but the next evening I stayed determined and did not pause at all

plus usually after you have finished a work out ur muscles pay for it next day but the next 2 mornings have been fine. I dnt ache but can feel inside that I've had a great work.

my waist is allready starting to feel like I've lost A inch

I TRULY RECOMMEND THIS DVD
IT REAL
YOU GET RESULTS
AND MOST OFF ALL IT IS GREAT FUN

DEFO RECOMMEND ALL U GIRLS AND BOYS
GET THIS DVD NOW
IM ADDING THIS DVD TO MY HEALTHLY NEW LIFE PLAN

XXXX

My New Years resolution to lose weight and get fit, urged me on to purchase an excercise DVD. All my old ones were on VCR and I no longer have a VCR recorder.

I browsed EBay and came across the Natalie Cassidy's DVD. I feel like I have grown up with Natalie as she is on my favourite soap.

When I saw the difference in her photo's, I thought well if she can look this good then there may be hope for me too.

The DVD was fun from the start. It was like talking to a friend and seeing Natalie struggle with the moves when she first started made me feel that I will master the moves in a few sessions.
How many lunges can a girl do? Every section included lunges some more intense than the others and I could feel them doing me some good, great for the legs and thighs.
it was very easy to follow and gradually got more intense in each section. After the work out you then went on to toning exercises. I found this quite difficult to follow on with as i did not have enough strength left in my body. I am quite unfit and spent most of that section collapsing in a heap or just lying there thinking, " I can't do that". Then its the cool down.

Now I have got used to doing this DVD, I do alternate between the work out and the toning sections and always do the warm up and cool down.

Natalie pulls some strange faces while working out that I found a bit off putting.

The diet section which showed you what she eats and how much to eat was very interesting as well.

There is nothing to dislike in this work out DVD

I am still using this DVD and find it easy to follow now but I also know what is still to come.

I would recommend this to anyone who like me who does not have a lot of rhythem. They tell you to jiggle about if you find it difficult to follow. I do more moves than jiggling now.

I think this is brilliant!! I was able to copy the moves easily and feel the benefits. Its great. I am a mother of 4 children and i feel it worked on all those areas that tend to go abit saggy after having kids! I do this workout once a day its fab, id definately reccommend it.

Great DVD with easy to follow routines.
I have used this now for 2 months and my body has certainly toned up. I feel much fitter and have also lost about 1 stone. I also joined slimming world so i think the diet and exercise has complimented each other.
Most of the routines are fairly easy but the abs section took a while to build up to.
A great dvd which i alternate with The Jordon workout.

This workout dvd is excellant, i definately recommend it. Theres 4 sections Warm up, sweat, punch and crunch each one lasts 15 mins, there is an option where you can do the full workout which includes all those sections stated. Its easy to follow and definately works. Iv started of doing section by section so i get used to the routine (otherwise il be all over the place) then i will do the full workout, i done the sweat section for 4 days so 15 mins each day and i lost 2lb and this week iv learnt the punch section and my god do you sweat. There is an eating plan on there if you wish to follow it. I have never stuck to a fitness dvd until i tried this one.

im always dubious about celebs bring out new dvds, but thought i would try this one, and boy can i feel it working, i have done it for the last 3 nights in a row and can really feel a difference already in my bum and legs, go on girls if your going to buy a celeb work out dvd, then make it this one x

I bought this dvd as the New Year arrived knowing i had over indulged in all the goodness Xmas has to offer. I didn't give it a lot of thought when i bought it, i just needed something to work out to. It was only on arriving home that my daughter gasped in amazement "thats Sonia"!!! I have to admit i didn't recognise the lithe figure on the front cover until i looked at the before pic closely. My daughter is a bit of a Sonia herself and at 13 misses out on some of the latest fashion as she can't get her size to look good. We both worked out together and have found the routines easy to follow and of great benefit. My daughter has lost weight already and i have toned up my wobbly bits and shed the xmas excess. I would highly recommend this dvd as not only does it work but it is simple to follow and Sonia is well known to the soap fiends of this world so has been inspirational in helping my daughter begin to discover her true self. Totally inspirational and ideal for teenagers!

this is a great dvd fun to do alone or with friends. i found it pretty easy and i have not excercised for ages you can see natalie changing shape which inspires you to do it

I have tried loads of other exercise dvds from aerobics to kickboxing and this once has it all. I am quite fit but after doing this dvd i felt stiff the next day. I love it and think it is the best exercise dvd out at the moment. Would highly recomend it to anyone wether your fit or not it will soon get you in shape.

I had been looking to buy it in the shops. Workout is fast paced and quite hard, so keeps you going back for more. Dont have to do the full workout, menu gives the option to do parts of it - 20 min workout as opposed to full hour and half! Great to see it can work judging by natalie cassidy's figure now and by the different types of exercise you do you can see why it works. Exercises include warm up, burn fat routine, 15 minutes of power moves to burn MORE fat, 15 minutes of boxing to punch away the pounds and crunches to slim your waist and in this section is the cool down too! There is also dvd extras which are natalies eatin plan and a health farm competition. So guys and girls i would definately recommend this one if you seriously want to tone all those wobbly bits - be prepare to sweat!!!

I recently purchased this dvd as im struggling to lose my baby weight, i go to the gym 3 times a week and wanted a fitness dvd to workout at home, i found this dvd to be a very good workout....it took me several sessions before i could even keep up, now im loving it and starting to notice a rise in my fitness level as well as weight loss!! i would recommend this dvd to anyone wanting to get fit for the summer!!!

This workout is great fun! it is hard work and you can certainly tell you have done some good although you may not think that the first morning after your session. definately worth the money and if you do this 2 or 3 times a week you will certainly see the results like i am alread after only a week and a half.

I'm not really one for doing excercise videos let alone actually buying one but I was drawn to this, firstly I suppose as Natalie Cassidy was always known as overweight Sonia from Eastenders, and secondly, clearly if Natalie can do it then why shouldn't I be able to? I also chose Natalie's work out as she is a normal looking, down to earth girl and so I found this so much better than watching a stunning skinny girl prancing around which is, let's face it, completely demoralising as not many of us look like that, do we, or we wouldn't be buying an exercise video in the first place.
What I like about this is that you actually see Natalie at the start at her biggest, actually being weighed (brave girl!) and then you see the transformation and she has lost an incredible 2 and half stone and looks simply amazing. It certainly made me think, I want some of that! However, maybe it's me, but I did find some of steps hard to follow or keep up with, not that they are particularly difficult but I suppose purely because I am new to this and I couldn't quite work out if I was actually doing it correctly? They make it look alot easier then it actually is!
Overall, a good work out and like all of them, perserverence is the key!

Fantastic! Easy to follow and highly enjoyable. Step by step routines and workout and a totally insparational celebrity to keep you going. A *****. If you only buy one workout dvd this year make it this one.

I bought this dvd the other day as it is obvious that natilie has had fantastic results by excercising and eating well, this is a very fun and energetic workout. Its not easy to start with but gradually gets easier, im looking forward to seeing the results

I like this dvd because natalie comes across as just a normal girl so you think to yourself if she can do it theres a good chance i can she looks amazing and i think doing this dvd workout regually and eating a controled diet you to could look as good.

After looking at the before and after Natalie, it certainly spurs you on to see if you can lose that much weight! I thought I was pretty unfit, but I didn't find the routine too hard, although it did make me sweat and ache a little the next day! My only criticism is it would be better if the instructor went through the routine slowly first so you are more acquainted with the steps before you luanch into the work out, as she does!
Overall though I would recommend it for beginners, although I think as you progress you may want something a bit harder.

it was well made and in excellent condition. The dvd actually showed u before and after shots of natalie which was very helpfull. The dvd was quite high impact from the start to the end. I was a bit disppointed that u didnt really see her more working towards the end goal. But well worth a look and her figure was fantastic in the end.

Esay to follow workout DVD which is funny and motivating. Worth a go! agagahsjdkdhsfdhdjdkdkdk fhfhdnvlsdhiosvndioghnvhivsfpvldopfgfbkfs f if fh syfs yf8d ykx bpissd v8us
