Davina’s Body Buff Dvd- Released on 6th December 2010.
All of Davina’s dvds are split into sections, aimed at targeting different areas of your body. This dvd has 2 hours worth of workouts, split into the following sections:
Buff Warm up – Quick warm up section.
Buff Cardio – 30 mins of High energy aerobics with lots of fat-burning intervals plus 5 minutes squeezing those abs.
Buff Boxing – 30 mins high intensity workout including 5 minutes working those abs again.
Then to target your specific areas:
- Buff Legs and Core – A 20 min workout aimed at shaping up your legs and strengthening your core muscles.
- Buff Arms – A 15 min routine using weights to buff up your arms. Davina recommends investing in a set of hand weights, 1 or 2 kilogrammes or if you prefer, you can use a bottle of water in each hand.
- Buff Abs – Basic 5 min abs routine followed by a tougher 5 mins for the more adventurous!
- Buff Stretch -Cool down section, with the option of doing either a shorter standing up version or you can add on a further 5 min extra yoga-style stretch.
The extra’s section features Meg Matthews and her nutritionist, Hala El-Shafie. Davina pops around to Meg’s home and has a good old nosy around, Meg shares her story about the skin problems and eating issues she’s had. Hala El Shafie gives her advice for healthy eating.
I’m a huge fan of Davina’s dvds and I own every single one. However, I’m not that keen on this one to be honest, which is surprising because I love all the other dvds. I don’t really like the music, it’s a bit too heavy. Some of the exercise routines just don’t flow very well, they feel a bit jerky, not as smooth flowing as they usually are.
The flashing lights in the background are distracting and irritating. I don’t like how the warm up section is separate. I prefer to start each routine with a warm up and then to go straight into the routine. You actually have to select the warm up, press play on your dvd, do the warm up, stop, go back to the remote, select the routine you want to do and then press play. Not a major problem but it does disrupt your flow.
I much prefer “Super Body Workout” and “Davina Fit” to be honest. I hope her next one reverts back to the usual standard.
