Great workout! 2010-07-29

Reviewer: Amy Mcfarland

I started this last week and I already feel I have more endurance. By the 14-minute mark, I'm pretty sweaty, so I feel like I'm getting a good workout.
Pros: It's easy to follow and straight-forward. There are no crazy moves. There are also two other people in the video besides Jillian Michaels, so if you need to slow it down a bit or really ramp it up, you know who to watch. I love the interval training - each segment has 3-4 exercise routines, and after running through them once you come back to them at the end of the segment. This seems to work well in preventing muscle fatigue too early on.
Cons: It really has no bells or whistles, not that that's necessarily a bad thing. In the Beach Body videos, I love that they give a count-down for each segment, so you know where you're at. This is just three people in a small room going through a workout. Jillian Michaels also does this snarling thing with her nose and eyes, I think to let you know she's really working, and after the first week I got sick of looking at her weird expression.
Overall, it's a great workout, just the right length, and it gets results.

This video is really good... in the sense that it DOES make you sweat, and it IS a good workout. The only thing I don't like about this video is that Jillian Micheals doesn't even do half of it. And throughout the workout, she doesn't encourage you, she just talks to her "girls" and stops in the middle to talk about things that don't really help...it's sorta like she's tired and she just decided to stop for a while so she could catch her breath and talk about nothing. Plus she is very un consistent. She'll do 10 reps on one leg and 16 on the other....but that's my opnion. Other then that, it's not as hard as everyone says it is...and I suppose it is a good workout if your looking for change.

Great no frills to the point circuit cardio. I like the fact u don't have to buy all the extra foolishness like a step, bands, bars, weighted gloves blah blah blah, stuff that's really designed to make you spend your hard earned dollar to fatten somebody elses wallet. All you need you and your bodyweight. I did entire dvd and as hard as I worked, there's no way this dvd can't be effective. I did have to take small breaks to catch my breath. There is a lot of jumping so just beware and use the modifications.

I have tried many different things to get in shape and lose some weight including running, taking aerobics classes, lifting weights. I've also tried other videos such as the firm (which worked well). But this video was by far the best. I got a sixpack in a week and lost 5 pounds in two weeks. Basically, for every two times I do this video, I lose a pound. It's REALLY hard and you have to expect to sweat A LOT, but if you want real results, you have to work for them. Definitely recommend!!

This is a truly fantastic dvd! This is a very difficult and intense workout!!!! If you are looking to shed pounds fast, this is without a doubt the way to do it. This isn't for someone who isn't willing to push through the intense pain and exaughstion of a truly hard core vigorous workout!
