Description

The Mediterranean clubber’s paradise is the location for ex-EastEnders star Patsy Palmer’s latest fitness offering, the Ibiza Workout. More Pontins in tone than Ibiza, Palmer and choreographer Louie Spence deliver an hilarious, fun and very accessible workout. The stunning sunny scenery as a backdrop is a clever reminder that this is all about getting into that bikini for that package holiday in the sun.The combination of Palmer’s winning down-to-earth charm, and Spence’s super-camp humour is a winner. Not only is there a great rapport and banter between the two, but there is also a constant connection with the viewer. The 50-minute workout is based on dance moves laced with fitness know-how. It won’t work miracles for the terribly overweight and flabby, but it’ll beat those winter couch potato habits.A fun warm-up starts slow enough to get the hang of the moves, and goes onto the faster paced “Villa Vascular” section, followed by a toning stretch out, two dance routines, and a relaxing cool down stretch to end. The routines might seem confusing at times, but don’t be put off, as the variety and the flash touches are part of the motivation to keep watching and doing this. Palmer and Spence are well aware that the purpose of this is to get the viewer body-confident. The dance moves along the way are an added bonus to take on holiday.
