Thirty Minutes of Booty Kicking Hard Work January 2, 2006
Namaste (United States)
200 out of 203 found this review helpful
I am happy with my purchase. Each workout is roughly 30 minutes each. They are broken down into a warm up, two different routinues using upper and lower body together with cardio, and a cool down/stretch. The cardio is a lot of jumping (think jumping jacks, etc.) What I really like about the workouts is that they are time efficient. I feel like I got a workout in 30 minutes and she combines upper and lower boday together. Maybe I'm crazy but I am starting to see a difference after 7 workouts. If you liked Jillian on the Biggest Loser, you'll like her on the DVDs. Her personality is the same.
Why I gave the DVDs 4: There are no demos of the exercises, so if you are not familiar with the exercises in her book (Winning By Losing) you might want to watch the DVDs before you do them or to see what the modified version of the exercise is. I believe she mentions that in the intro as well. Also, there a lot of jumping. I read in another person's review that that can be bad for joint problems, so something to consider.
Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. I would recommend this to a friend and I will probably buy it as a gift for someone in the future.

I tried this DVD for the first time today- and WOW! It is a very fast paced, intense workout that alternates cardio and weights (and combines the two at times as well) for a very good, kick-your-butt workout! Surprisingly, even though it was very intense and I felt that I got an excellent workout, it left me more energized than when I started- which doesn't happen too often for me. So I'm running out right now to buy the front side DVD version of this. Jillian is very motivating, and the fast-paced tempo makes this workout fly by before you get a chance to want to stop. I highly recommend this workout- even if you have to make a few adjustments to keep up. It's worth it.

I like many enjoyed the Biggest Loser show; that is why I bought these DVD's. I must say I am delighted with the results I am getting by doing these workouts, even though they push me to my limits. I can not see a beginner doing these, without modification you start where you are and work up to it. I am a workout animal but Jillian puts me to shame. This has been the only workout that has taken my fat percentage down.

I have never done a workout from Jillian Michaels before, and I have to say it: she totally kicked my butt! I've been bored with my workouts, and this is just what I needed. It's a short workout, but very intense. You don't stop for 30 minutes! In conjunction with a 30 minute cardio workout, you have the perfect routine. If you are a beginner, however, you might want to try Jillian's "Shape-Up" DVDs first.
Short, Intense and Effective! December 23, 2005

The Shape Up series of workouts are short but intense. The workouts are more endurance strength training with very short cardio bursts. If you prefer to go slow-and-heavy with weights then Jillian's workouts are not for you. I like the fact that they're short workouts because I usually add in a cardio workout (30-45 mins.). So a rotation for me would be for Week 1: Shape Up Front plus 30 mins. cardio on Day1, Shape Up Backside plus 30 mins. cardio on Day2 and alternate them for one whole week. On the 2nd Week: Day1 is Jillian Michaels Maximize Full Frontal and 30 mins.cardio, Day2 is Jillian Michaels Back in Action plus 30 mins. cardio and alternate them again for one whole week. Try it and you will get GREAT RESULTS. It's also VERY important to eat healthy - CLEAN EATING!
