It is really astonishing how celebrities lose weight after seeing them 30 to 50 pounds heavier three months ago. The idea of losing weight is so much easier for them to understand because they are motivated enough. It is their job to look good because people perceive stars as symbol of beauty and perfection.

When a normal person, one with a regular job, tries to emulate the same workout routine of celebrities, the result will not be the same, according to Sarah Vine of the Daily Mail.

The British journalist said these celebrity fitness DVDs are nothing but another business opportunities. They target regular people who hope to get in shape but don't really have enough time or motivation to do it in a long run.

"Because we all know the likelihood of it resulting in meaningful long-term weight loss for the average British woman is about the same as Victoria Beckham being spotted chomping on a Greggs' cream bun," she stated.

Vine cited Lauren Goodger workout DVD as an example. The English glamour model recently released her first fitness video revealing her weight loss secret. According to a report by Mirror, Goodger decided to share her exercise regimen after losing 4 stone in a very short period of time. It is an incredible accomplishment that many women would want to follow because they believe it will be that easy.

Goodger is so proud of what she has done to herself after being called a "whale" because of her weight. She is so confident now that she doesn't have any problem posing naked for "Playboy" magazine.

However, Vine doubts if most of these women even have the same motivation as Goodger.

"Fans of Lauren can, of course, uncover her weight-loss secrets in her OMG! Workout DVD. Currently, it's available on Amazon for around £12. But if you wait a few weeks you'll be able to pick it up for £1 in your local charity shop," she wrote.

She added that all of these are just part of the business. It is not going to help women improve their health and body. It will be a never-ending opportunistic approach of getting people to fall into their trap.

"First it makes you feel inadequate (post-Christmas bulge, etc); then it shows you an impossible ideal to which to aspire (the dazzling celebrity, preferably in a low-cut bathing suit); then it sells you the snake oil (the book/DVD); then, when that inevitably fails, it sells you some more snake oil," she explained.
