Advantages: great workout to shape and tone up, funny and enjoyable to watch

Disadvantages: stomach section isn't too great

This is Jordan's first workout DVD which she made after giving birth to her second child, Junior, as she wanted to loose weight and get her stomach toned ready for her wedding and honeymoon. She is joined by her personal trainer, Richard Callender, who leads you through the workout with a simple and easy routine to follow.

The DVD has 5 separate workout sections all which last around 15 minutes.

Getting Warm - warms you up with simple and easy exercises including punches and kicks so that you are stretched and ready to go for the main workout.

Pulsator - a quick-moving and highly energetic section with lots of bouncing and punching to work your legs and arms and burn fat.

Push It - a slower and more controlled resistance workout which concentrates on really working your muscles with lots of squats and push ups.

Hard Core - the stomach and abs section which includes a lot of different exercises to work all parts of the stomach.

Cool It - slow and relaxed stretches to cool you down after your workout.

There is also a section at the end where Jordan is joined by author Jason Vale where he talks about healthy eating and nutrition and you're given the recipe for a smoothie that Jordan drinks.

All of the sections are really great and you can really feel it working as you're doing it and, if you overdo it, you'll really feel it the next day! The only disadvantage to this DVD is the Hard Core section for the stomach. I don't think this works too well. It didn't really provide much of a workout for me and I didn't feel it working so I use all the other sections but use a different workout for my stomach. For some exercises, Richard will show you the harder versions which give you more of a workout while Jordan sticks to the easier versions, so that you can choose and follow whichever you are capable of.

Throughout the workout Jordan makes her usual funny comments which also makes it enjoyable to watch as you're exercising. I love this DVD as it really does work and it still makes me laugh even after using it for 2/3 years!

Summary: a brilliant workout
