'Fitness Experts' always seem to be being rude about celebrity videos. I'm not sure if it's jealousy for someone with greater appeal than them, or if it is just something the papers pick up on. In this case I think it's a combination of both. Ann and Nick was a long time ago now, and the quotes don't quite match with the video being 'slammed'. If the woman was marking it as a fitness video, then 5/10 is probably not that bad.
People who will buy this video will know Helen, and know she loves dancing and loves having fun with it. I don't think she'd ever claim to be a fitness expert, and we KNOW she isn't an expert on diet.
OK, she shouldn't advocate limitless chips, but it IS good that she's discouraging starvation diets. Who's going to buy the Geri video when you that to look like her you need to do 2 hours of it a day AND cut out all dairy, and eat occasional steamed vegetables and fish and nothing else?
I think the woman might be right about Helen looking a little stiff with the routine. I have my suspicions that the video was rushed through and it is not unlikely that for financial reasons they didn't practice it enough, or could have afforded a little more time in the studio.
