 thorough workout April 27, 2008

This workout makes me sweat. It's hard but doable. Great for losing weight or toning up.
 Looking forward to being a "Loser".... April 27, 2008

I have a vast collection of fitness DVD's I don't utilize as much as I should (call it simple "laziness" on my part), so initially when I noticed this DVD had come to market I really had no intention of buying it, largely due to the unused DVD's I already own as well as the mixed reviews Jillian's other DVD's had received. After reading a couple of weeks worth of reviews, though, and reading the positive impact people felt it was having on them I decided to pony up. I am by no means a large/obese person but out of shape with about twenty to thirty pounds to lose and really figured I could use the motivation. As I've always been a big fan of "The Biggest Loser" on t.v. and know how hard-core Jillian can be when it comes to whipping people into shape I thought I should give it a try. I mean, if 300-pound people can handle it, I would hope I could, too.
Thus, I am sitting here having just finished level one circuit and have to admit I am very impressed. I wasn't sure how I would feel about things like push-ups and jumping jacks, but have to say it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, particularly given that she dishes them out in very brief intervals. As I've been in "lazy" mode and have only been doing 40-minute elliptical workouts over the past few months (i.e. nothing challenging with weights, as I know I should be), it will be interesting to see how my body feels when I wake up tomorrow.
So, I am looking forward to doing this DVD several times a week along with continuing my delightful elliptical workouts, and am hoping that this will help propel me to "Loser" status in no time (okay, if not within the 30-days I'm hoping at least sometime shortly thereafter). Thanks Jillian, and thanks to all of the other reviewers for sharing their stories and making me a believer!
quick and painful! April 27, 2008

This is a great, quick, hard workout. It has 3 20 minute workouts that get harder with each level. I would say it is geared toward intermediate exercisers. I have been exercising for YEARS and started at level 1 for a week. I have been doing level 2 for 2 weeks now and it is still very challenging. The only thing I didn't like about it, is there are no directions with the DVD on how to use it (how many days a week, do you add extra cardio) I was unsure if I should do it every day because you are not supposed to lift weights for the same muscle group every day. BUT a free 30-day trial at jillianmichaels.com was included in mine and I went on the message boards and found some vague answers to my questions. (One person said she e-mailed "them" and they said it was o.k. to do this workout on consecutive days due to the nature of the exercises) It does get a tiny bit tedious doing the workout every day, but it's ONLY 20 minutes!!!!
Great investment for 20 minutes April 27, 2008

Jillian does an awesome job in this workout. 20 minutes of heart pumping strength, cardio, and abs that shows results within a week. I have been working out for several months and hit a plateau. I start Jillian's shred and started losing again and finally started seeing the toning in my arms and legs. This is a great investment of your money and time. She also does a great job demonstating and explaing the exercises, unlike some of her previous programs which move too fast into the workout.
Good. April 27, 2008

I think Jillian is great! The video is definitely what she makes it out to be..hard and it works! The only thing I had a problem with was the quality of the DVD...it must have had scratches on it because the video was skipping around..other than that it was fine! I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to lose weight.
