The Voight one's are quite good too - Health and Fitness magazine usually has an ad or two for these (or similar) and a good review section.

I'd also recommend Shape magazine for its 'work outs' - really well illustrated and not obsessed with weight loss like some of the others. HTH -- Helen Armfield helen@...

Don't know if this fits your requirements of something taking only 40 mins or so, but I've been using Body Fit by Josh Saltzman for about 15 years, and, aside from the big lapse in use during my pregnancy, it has kept me really toned and supple for the whole time I've used it. It's a great work out, incorporating warm up, 10-20 mins aerobic exercise (jog on spot, jog in park, up and down stairs, whatever) about 20-30 mins of low impact hand weights and general workout, and a warm down. It gets you breathless and sweaty without the wheeze factor, and tones you up really quickly. Twice a week is enough with this vid. Couldn't find it at Amazon.co.uk, but they do have a list of workout, toning and yoga videos you could look through (inc. ones by Lorraine , Carol Smillie and Anne Diamond ???). -- Clare Lusher.
