About the Program
The Valerie Bertinelli: Losing It and Keeping Fit DVD is a nice compliment to any fitness routine. It features some traditional but solid exercises that really do work to help you lose weight, tone, and develop muscle.
You’ve probably seen Valerie Bertinelli on television promoting Jenny Craig’s weight loss program. She herself has proven that the program works. The exercises on this DVD are the exact ones that Bertinelli used to lose weight and keep it off. She does the exercises right along side her personal trainer, Christopher Ross Lane.

– Level 3 – 40 minute workout with added cardio exercises

– Bonus: interviews with Bertinelli and her trainer about how she lost the weight and has kept it off
The Losing It and Keeping Fit DVD is the perfect exercise program for anyone just beginning to exercise. It’s also good for intermediate and advanced fitness levels, especially if you have limited time on any specific day.
Foods You Can Eat
The DVD doesn’t include menus or meal plans, but that’s to be expected given that Bertinelli follows the Jenny Craig program. It would make sense that a balanced diet of whole foods would go hand-in-hand with this DVD.
