Jillian Michaels, the trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser and self-proclaimed "TV's toughest fitness guru," runs through circuit training like a drill sergeant on caffeine. Her theory is to keep moving in between exercises to burn twice as many calories, so she cycles her team through sumo squats, mountain climbers, jump ropes, shoulder raises and bicycle moves without taking a breath. If she doesn't think one of her comrades is picking up his knees high enough, she makes everyone do 30 more, with a sadistic grin. As a result, you can almost literally watch the muscle burn. Michaels' Shape-Up Front DVD works out the chest, shoulders, triceps and quads. It also requires two props: a bench-style exercise step and light dumbbells. The DVD features include printable diet/exercise logs, nutrition tips and recipes. Despite a lower-level option, it isn't for anyone looking for a low-impact aerobic workout. --Ellen A. Kim

Intense workouts even for athletes December 2, 2008
Uncomfortable Small Talk (Texas, USA)
I've owned these videos for about 3 months and I use them twice a week.
First my health background. I've been physically active since high school (33 years old now) with baseball/basketball/martial arts and have always been lean. Three times a week, I hit the gym with medium weights and treadmill/elliptical so my heart rate is usually between 60-70 at rest. While I'm not a total fitness buff, I'm pretty healthy.
Anyways, I still sweat and feel these workouts the next day. For those that say that they barely break a sweat or aren't challenged by this, YOU are not pushing yourself hard enough. You need to follow her technique, but push harder if it seems too easy. Her exercises are wonderful so you need to pick it up then. I don't believe that you can't sweat by doing these workouts unless you're just half-assing it.
 Wow!! What a workout!! November 25, 2008
Nuky (Kentucky)
This workout is amazing. I have been using this to workout for about a week now and I can really feel and see the difference already. It is not for the faint at heart. It will get you breathing heavy and wanting to stop, but if you stay at it, you will definitely get great results.
GREAT!!!! November 24, 2008
M. Robinette (Bristol, TN USA)
These dvd's are wonderful. They will work you out and you will see results. I've seen a huge difference quickly in my stamina and muscle tone. Had been doing another system for months and had stopped seeing results but am seeing them again after doing this for a few short weeks. Good luck.
Great workout video- I saw results! November 24, 2008
A. Smarsty (Milford, MI USA)
This workout DVD gave me results. I really love Jillian's 30 minute shred and saw results so I ordered this set to mix up my workout. This one is a little tougher for beginners. I am in pretty good shape and have worked out my whole life. I recently went back to work full time so this DVD fit into my new workout schedule. I don't have the time to visit the gym for the 1 hr. workout classes so I break this into 2 days- about 30 minutes per day to keep me in shape.
 It's okay! November 17, 2008

You can get your heart rate up, it just depends how much you put into the work out! I just have a hard time with how "cool" she acts in her videos! Like most of the people who have work out videos, I doubt any of them have truly ever had a weight problem. The set along with her style of teaching are not my favorite! If I could have tried before I bought...I would not have bought the set.
