“Brilliant! Easy to follow & IT WORKS!!”
Written on: 09/01/2013 by Mrssch
I got this DVD when it first came out the first time I used it properly I went from a size 14 to a 12 in a few weeks. I was (loosely) eating a bit better but still had a few treats. I find it really easy to follow and it's fun. The sections and sets are short and varied so you push yourself but then she takes it down to a steadier pace. Great all over body workout. I've just pulled it out again after Christmas....and a holiday in America....and just being lazy in general! Done it 3 times... (read more)

Written on: 19/06/2011 by MrsGoldsmith (7 reviews written)
Trainer Dee Thresher's energy and sense of fun is contagious while she takes you and Charlie through 5 ten minute workouts. This is suitable for beginners as the steps are easy to follow and most of it is low impact but with enough moves to raise your heart rate. Dee's instructions are clear, she cues the next move well, matches left and rights with you and has a bit of fun. It is not really dancey, but rather aerobic moves with a bit of funky fun. The routines have a good mix of cardio... (read more)

I received the Charlie brooks, before and after dvd today and used it straight away!!! Its great, a real workout!!! I am not fit at all :) but I managed to do the dvd (I did slow it down at some points like the instructor suggested) i can really feel that I have done it which I think is great!!! :) and Im not dreading doing it again, so that is a bonus! My co-ordination isnt cracking, so did struggle with some moves, especially the disco steps, however it was only my first try! Will do this... (read more)

I read the reviews on this site and decided to get this DVD. There are 5 sections that all feel like they are working every part of your body, no area escapes!

Steps are challengning to grasp but they become automatic in no time. I didn't do ANY exercise before and found it easy to do, and can feel my body getting stronger day by... (read more)

Written on: 02/05/2010
I found this dvd hard to follow as the steps not explained and is far to fast for complete beginners like myself. i have no coordination and therefore was hard to keep up and gave up before the warm up had ended i dont think this dvd is for overweight people like myself new to exercising. i was dissappionted with the dvd and myself and would have liked a difficulty rating attached to it.

Written on: 14/10/2009
I bought this DVD when it first came out. I have used it on and off since then and seen results. I have never sustained for a long period of time though.
I have just signed up to weight watchers on-line last week and started the DVD this week.
My start weight Mon 5th Oct 2009 was 10st 8lbs.
My weight this Monday was 10st 4lbs. It will be interesting to see weight loss with DVD and weight watchers. I will keep you posted.

I have been using the Charlie Brooks, Before and After Workout dvd for a couple of years now and I think it is excellent. It is the only one I have stuck with and it provides an excellent workout, not allowing any part of your body to escape. Once done a few times, the steps are very easy to pick up and can even be done to your own music.
The part which shows Charlie before her dramatic change is rather inspiring and motivated me to get fit!
The food plan is also useful with some good...

Written on: 06/06/2008
I usually get bored with exerise and DVDs because they're just continuous and patronising. But Before and After Workout has short sections so you don't get bored, they're over so quickly! You feel great afterwards and the toning doesn't make your stomach too muscly, just feminine :) (read more)

I went on a diet last January and bought this dvd to help me along with my rowing machine. I did it 3 times a week and over 3 months I went from a size 16 to a size 12. Originally I weighed 12st 7lb, and got down to 10 st 6lb. Unfortunately I took my new size for granted and got back up to 11 st 6lb, so I've started doing this dvd again, thankfully because I can trust it, I know by the summer I'll be a slimmer me again. Probably worth keeping up by doing it once a week once you're down... (read more)

When i do the workout , i feel amazing after. It leaves me bouncing up and down with all the energy, its such a great feeling.
The results are great, it keeps me completely toned! It would have been even better if they had a variety of 3 workouts worth 50 minutes each so you can change between them , to keep you keen, but its still amazing.

The Charlie Brooks Before & After DVD is a great workout - I've been doing it about 2/3 times a week for a couple of months now and have lost quite a few inches from my waist, hips & thighs and my stomach is getting toned (the pilates section is great for the stomach). I know all the moves now so I put it on mute and put on my own music which I find better as the music on the DVD can get repitative after a while! I would recommend this DVD as I know that if you stick at it - it definitely... (read more)

I really love this DVD and like Charlie I had the post baby belly. I was 8st3 before I was pregnant and went up to 10st6. I set myself a target of 9st and after doing this DVD and eating a healthy range of food I've gone down to 8st9 and I am so pleased. Definitely go out and get this DVD. Once your used to the moves mute the telly and put your own music on and your away. Brilliant. (read more)

The Charlie Brooks workout DVD is really good, as you actually get to see the results through her and by doing the same, you get great results yourself.
The diet plan is great because it's all interesting food and there is a lot of choice. It's a hard workout but it's so worth it.

I tried the Charlie Brooks, Before and After Workout exercise DVD for the first time yesterday, and I really enjoyed it. It was hard work in parts, but I felt really good doing it. This morning I ache in just the right way, and I can feel that it has worked, but I am not hurting so I will be doing it again tonight. I am a regular gym-goer and this provided a refreshing change, but a workout which felt just as effective. The choice between disco, combat and high intensity means everything... (read more)
