Can I give this more than 5 Stars? WOW!
By K. Harrell
This aweinspiring DVD by Jillian Michaels is a 50 minute workout, including warm-up and cooldown, that includes modern toning moves to target disturb spots. While not for the true beginner, I think this workout would be good for all levels, because she shows modifications for beginners and modern exercisers (although now and again not until halfway through the set). Also, you move at a more or less more quickly pace throughout, so you get a cardio gain from this workout as well, altho its’ main focus is toning your body into great shape. The circuit nature of the workout means that you proceed to burn more calories even after the workout is over.

Phenonmenal Workout-Toruble Zones Be Gone
By Diamonte Hamlett
I am a huge fan of the Jillian Michael’s approach to fitness. I employed her Shred 30 program and lost 29 pounds in two months by doing the workouts and following the diet commended on her website. Let me commence by saying I am not one of these humans who just “LOVES” to workout. I do it because I need change. I tried this workout yesterday as it is available on Exercise TV/On Demand and I have to tell you, it was the most transformational exercise experience I have ever had. Jillian’s coaching and motivational speak are reverberating in my head even now. For this workout you will need 3 to 5 pound weights and regarding an hour (trust me this hour is worth it). She starts with 5 minute warm up that is cardio and dynamic stretching infused. SHe cools down with a yoga style static stretch that is just wonderful. There are roughly (six) 7 minute segments in which you do in regards to 5 powerful arm and leg focalized or ab focalized work. The intensity of the arm, ab and leg work basically guaranteed me that I am going to see the results I want to see over the next two months. I ordinarily do not feel a burn in my glutes and hips which are a real disturb spot for me, did not have that problem this time. Working out is not in truth my thing, as much as wanting results and knowing I have to do it in order to get it, but the strength and euphoria I felt after doing this workout is indescribable. I commend this to any person who wants to believe in themselves and begin transforming themselves into the person they wish they were. This comes with the most eminent recommendation I may offer. I will post updates as I carry on the program. GET THE DVD, it is the least you could do for yourself.

You have not known pain until you’ve done “The Surrender”!!
By mcel
I own all of Jillian’s DVDs, so when this one and it’s associate DVD came out, I ordered them immediately.
This one is like “Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism” but the circuits are weights based. At when it comes to an hour long, she has you run through 5 exercises 2 times a circuit and most are with weights in hand. Towards the middle, she does matwork for the abs (some with weights!) and in the last circuit she does old school matwork for legs and glutes.
This kicked my butt in a good way. I was sweaty and tired at the end. I finished it, but having to modify a heap of exercises, so now I have something to work towards.
Having owned so a lot of of Jillian’s DVDs, I was worried she would use the same exercises over and over but she keeps it genuinely fresh! She has a lot of exercises I have never seen or done before and all I may say is WOW! She does this exercise called “The Surrender” Oh. My. Goodness. It is super hard and I had to stop. It’s also a little hard on the knees. Again, one of the ones I have to work towards.
I may unquestionably see this DVD transforming your body and making you more and more toned. A outstanding workout and so worth it!
