Patsy Palmer s Club Workout is upbeat, it s got a strong beat, and beats most exercise videos for sheer fun. It s filmed in a nightclub where Patsy and her trainer, Niki Wibrow, strut their stuff on the stage to the sounds of get-up-and-dance chart music. Remember, do what you can and have a laugh, is Patsy s motto. She explains that gyms and diets are not for her, and that dancing is the only exercise she enjoys, especially after she decided to lose a stone in weight and tone up after the birth of her new baby. Enter Niki Wibrow, a pretty dynamic personal fitness trainer, who combines dance moves with exercise. By following the workout routines, Patsy has shed the excess weight, including two inches off her hips, all without dieting. After the warm-up section, the routines--entitled Crazy Legs, Slap Happy and Jump N Scream--grow more lively. The combination of Niki s encouragement to Come on guys, and the irresistible music propels you along. The routines are fairly easy to follow, and none of the exercises is either impossible or dangerous. Another plus is that the workout transfers well to a small space, so it easily can be done in your bedroom or living room. Patsy Palmer is not a super fitness freak. She s more like the regular girl next door who might be dancing around her handbag. There s a feel-good factor to the video. You get the impression Patsy s genuinely enjoying it, and really having a good laugh. The last time many of us saw Patsy Palmer on the small screen, she was sobbing in EastEnders. It s nice to see that actually she s one of the world s great gigglers. --Joan Byrne
