The Press

MOTHER & BABY: "This is my favourite [of the four being reviewed]. Fitness instructor Deborah Mackin takes us on a realistic journey of getting back into shape after her third child. In the first section she candidly discusses everything from flabby abdominal muscles to when to resume your sex life. In part two, she leads five mini workouts with a class of real mums. 'You don't need to buy weights,' she sensibly advises. 'A tin of baked beans weighs 1lb and a bottle of washing up liquid is 2lb!' The third section deals with weight loss and nutrition." April 2001

HEALTH & FITNESS: "…one of the best photographed exercise videos I’ve ever seen – Mackin’s manner is lovely. It’s informative and helpful and the nutrition advice is excellent."

BABY MAGAZINE: "Best New Product"

OUR BABY MAGAZINE: "…the long term fitness plan is realistic….it’s great that women of all shapes and sizes did the workouts."

PRACTICAL PARENTING: "Best Fitness Video of 1999"

PARENTS’ MAGAZINE: "…the exercise is realistic…the eating plan is sensible, this is a great way to get back into shape."

Other great reviews were in Mother & Baby, You & Your Baby, Santé and Chat. Having a Baby magazine (July 1999) did a double page spread on abdominals written by Deborah Mackin.

The Professionals
A senior Midwife wrote to say…
"I was very impressed with the aim for mothers to achieve physical fitness through a total body workout in conjunction with dietary advice. I think that your video is unique in that it tackles both aspects which many other products fail to do. It is a video that can be used at any time and one which will give those actively involved a good foundation for a healthy life, for the rest of their life".

Good reviews also from: the Royal College of Nursing; Senior Nurses at the Baby Day Clinic, Stoke on Trent; Consultant Psychiatrist at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.
