Get Strictly Fit and Gorgeous - again
Did we all watch Strictly Come Dancing again this year? Of course we did! And in spite of all the hoo-ha about John Sargeant and whether three couples should have gone through to the final etc etc I still voted for Tom and Camilla. Well he's gorgeous isn't he? Enough said.
Post-Christmas, of course, is when we all start looking longingly at those fitness videos again and last year I reviewed a couple brought out by Karen and Erin and Lilia Kopylova of SCD. This year, I am obviously going to put 2008 winner Camilla Dallerup's Dance off the inches at the top of the list but I thought we could look at a few others that might be fun. So here goes!
 | Dance off the inches is a professionally programmed workout presented by STRICTLY COME DANCING’s Camilla Dallerup. Camilla has developed and choreographed four dance-based workouts exclusively for you, so you can have fun dancing and lose inches at the same time. This dance workout brings the fun back to fitness. It takes you through four levels of dance routine with a steadily increasing tempo. It is set to hit music so that you can burn calories as well as learn some new steps for the dance floor. Dance off the inches is available from Amazon, priced £10.98. Click here to purchase this DVD |
Loved Mamma Mia? Of course you did. Then you'll love this. Shed those stubborn pounds to the rhythm of ABBA’s greatest hits. This work-out DVD will show you how to reach a better shape following aerobics guru Mila Lazar’s routines and exercises, while singing-along ABBA’s best known tunes as performed by their most famous tribute band Bjorn Again. Gimme Gimme Gimme a really great Workout is also available from Amazon, priced £11.98. |  |
 | When this came on TV the other night I heard the name Coleen and thought 'Oh no! Not Mrs Wayne Rooney!' Not sure if this is any better though. Featuring disco classics such as Kool And The Gang's 'Celebration', 'Hot Stuff' by Donna Summer, the Nolan's 'I'm In The Moon For Dancing' and 'I Will Survive' by Gloria Gaynor, Coleen Nolan presents this innovative workout. Having lost three stone with last year's fitness programme, she returns with a workout that has helped her lose a further two stone. Coleen Nolan's Disco Burn is available from Amazon, priced £12.98.

And now for something completely different. Skilled choreographer Kimberly Miguel Mullen presents three dance workouts with a Brazilian flavour, based on dances which include the Maculele, Samba Reggae and Capoeira. Capoeira is a dance-based martial art developed and practiced by Brazilian slaves about 500 years ago (I know this because my son does it) and is really great exercise. Maculele has something to do with sticks! Can't help with the other one I'm afraid, but I bet it's really good fun. |  |
Of course you'll need a new dress in which to practice your dance moves or to show off your new toned figure at that party or ball. So why not visit our evening wear section and select Ball gowns or Cocktail dresses from the 'select a style' drop down.
And you'll find just the right pair of evening shoes to complement your outfit and dance the night away by going to our shoe department. Just select Evening shoes from the 'select a style' drop down to find that designer bargain.
No outfit would be complete without a handbag, so don't forget to visit our handbags & purses section. Here you'll find the perfect bag for your night out!
Happy New Year and keep dancing!
