The workout has a bit of an 80’s theme with a pink sports vest and disco style choreography, plus the popular combat moves, with plenty of shadow boxing thrown in. It is energetic and fun, which are the most important aspects of any fitness DVD.

The workout is split into four main sections:

1. Body Warmer–a calorie burning warm-up that’s actually fun
2. Latin Sizzler–easy dance mover and big time fat burning in 15 minutes
3. Bingo Buster–banish your bingo wings and burn fat in 15 minutes
4. Muffin Shrinker–say goodbye to your muffin top with killer toning moves

With this workout Letitia managed to lose two stone in weight and lost seven inches off her tummy and seven inches off her bust.

“I’ve battled with my weight for years–as anyone who saw in Eastenders, or more recently in Strictly Come Dancing will know I tried all kinds of diet but none worked.”

Then celebrity fitness trainer Dee Thresher came up with a routine that combined fat busting interval training with exercises to zone in on the stomach.

“I’ve gone from 10 stone 4lbs to 8 stone 4lbs and finally can show off my waist after years of hiding it. The barrel belly has disappeared–and it’s not coming back! This is the only thing that’s ever worked for me–so give it a go–you’ll love the routine and you’ll definitely get lean!”

Polar F4M Heart Rate Monitor – Black Thunder

Heart rate monitors are becoming more and more popular and most high-quality exercise machines come with a heart rate monitor of their own. If you are suffering from heart or blood pressure problems, having a heart rate monitor while training is a must. Not only will you be able to see how your heart handles physical effort, but you will also be able to control your heart rate by adjusting speed settings on the exercise machines.

Some treadmills and elliptical trainers come with a built-in heart-rate management system, which automatically slows down the machine if your heart rate is too high. This is useful, as it helps avoid many heart-related problems that used to occur in the past with people training harder than their heart could handle. Even if you do not have heart-related problems, it is still a good idea to use a heart rate monitor from time to time. This way, you will be able to track how your body handles intense effort. To make sure you are healthy and there will be no problems in the future, you should make a daily pulse-rate table for one or two weeks, while training at the same intensity.

You will notice if there are extreme pitfalls or ascendings in your pulse, but the best thing to do would be to show this report to your doctor, who will immediately notice any forthcoming troubles. If you are planning to buy a quality heart rate monitor, one of the more popular manufacturers around is Polar. Polar technology has been around for two decades now and the company has achieved the status of being the industry leader in the heart rate monitors field. They have different series for heart rate monitors, ranging from beginners and intermediates to professional athletes.

You can also choose your heart rate monitor from different categories, depending on what your needs are: Cardiac Rehab, Jogging, Cycling, Swimming (this includes a waterproof monitor-watch), Fitness, Weight Management and so forth. Heart rate monitors mean a big step forward in home exercising, as they may help to prevent and avoid many cardiac problems.

Always pay attention to your heart rate monitor and try not to push your heart over the limits. Consult a doctor about what the normal pulse rate should be for your body type, in an effort regime. Combine this data with an exercise machine that supports heart rate measuring systems and displays them on their console, or even better, one that adjusts its speed to your pulse rate.
