      Ahhh good thats the one I would recommend. 'The Midwifes Confession' That was my first read of hers. Not had chance to read anymore yet of hers but that book has made sure I WILL be reading more of her. Let me know what you think. I've written a review on it under my list/review page.

      Yeah it's meant to be the hardest workout on DVD. It's all about maximum interval training. Can change your body in 60 days & the reviews seem to agree. It's certainly intense tho
