Here we are, January. It used to be the month famous for the release of those partwork magazines, as we all turn our attentions to pointless hobbies like collecting belly button fluff over 28 weekly parts. However, much more infamous than that these days is the celebrity workout DVD.

There seem to be more and more D-list celebs releasing these things year on year in what is surely already a saturated market.

A quiz browse of Amazon reveals dozens of the things (apparently some of these are celebrities) :

Davina - Three Minute Workouts
Ulrika - The Body Plan
Claire Sweeny - Perfect Fit
Angela Griffin - Dancemix Workout
Charlie Brooks - Before and After Workout
Gabby Logan - Twin Results
Martine McCutcheon - Dance Body
Kelly Holmes - First Step to Fitness
Jayne Middlemiss - Love Yoga
Debra Stephenson - The Busy Life Workout
Lady Isabella Harvey - Power Workout
Jordan - The Jordan Workout

Can there really be that many 40 something housewives, in leg warmers and leotards desperate to shed their rolls of fat ? Enough already, it has gone past a joke, what do people do with these things ? I'm sure they make very expensive coasters.

Anthony Hutton? :roll:
