Mr. Motivator’s New Fitness DVD

Mr. Motivator is back. After appearing on the tele the other day, interest in his unique and energetic workout routines is on the rise again. This DVD is set in beautiful Jamaica. It is energetic and fun to watch, and the workouts are designed to give you a muscle burn as well as a cardio workout.

Motivating and fun

After watching Mr Motivator’s fitness series on Channel Health called ‘The Fitness Zone’ I became a real fan. The majority of the 11 approx. 7-minute long sections on this DVD remind me a bit of the ‘Fitness Zone’. The fact that you can mix-and-match the sections to create your own workout is really a plus.

There are some nice warm-up sections in a dance aerobics style, and I also enjoy the sections on ‘bums’ and ‘legs’, which feature a good selection of muscle toning exercises for the legs and bum. There is also a good ‘upper body conditioning’ section on this DVD, which can be done with or without weights.

However, I was quite disappointed with the ‘tums’ section. This section only shows 2 or 3 tums exercises, but then it features exercises to strengthen the upper arms and the inner thighs instead.

The ’stretch’ section was also a bit disappointing. It is very short and I would have liked this to be a longer section, as stretching before and after exercise is so important.

The camera work is sometimes a bit strange, e.g. when Mr Motivator explains an exercise for the legs (you have to put your foot like so and so and you knee like this…) and the camera just shows the heads and shoulders of Mr M and his exercise group! It helped me to watch the whole DVD before attempting to do the exercises.

Generally speaking though this DVD is fun and it makes fitting exercise into a busy day easier, since you can choose if you want to do just 10 minutes, 20 minutes, one hour etc. I do hope that Mr Motivator’s exercise videos will be released on DVD as well in the near future. One of them is bound to have a proper section on ‘tums’ (I hope)!
