5/5 Perfect for fatties!!!
  by A. Vanhill
As a fat and greasy white woman I find this product to suit my needs perfectly. I even recommended this product to all my fat friends(I'm American). No longer do I feel ashamed for shoveling mass amounts of food into the opening in my face. The only downside is the loss of attention from black males, but what can ya do?

4/5 Excellent use of 40 mins
  by M. Zeenath (Raleigh, USA)
I am an intermediate level excerciser and workout atleast 4-5 times a week for atleast one hour either in the Gymn or follow Cathe Fredrich series on Fit Tv. I wanted more variety to my work outs and judging by the reviews Jillian's DVDs seemed like the perfect addition. She definitely doesn't dissapoint. Today is my third consequetive day of using her DVD.

Her workouts are simple but tough to follow. I ended up sweating like crazy in the very first two circuits, which is quite rare for me even when running at 6mph on the treadmill. She kept all the major muscle groups in constant tension in the super sets, resulting in excellent use of time. This DVD is very good for those who don't want to use a lot equipment and are short on time. The only equipment you need is a pair of light hand weights.

I gave it a 4 star rating because I'm used to working out for atleast one full hour, and felt this DVD could have included a couple of extra optional circuits for those wanting to continue. Unlike some of the other advanced DVDs which let you blend and mix circuits to fit your schedule, this only had one basic workout to choose from or choose individual 6-minute circuit segments.

Neverthless, a great value for money. I don't really think its possible to lose 5 lbs/week as the back of the DVD cover claims.. as per my experience with 1000- 1500 calories diet per day and at this level/duration of exercise, I can burn upto 400 calories ONLY. I'm considering repeating the workout twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening to take advantage of the raised heartrate and elevated metabolism throughout the day to maximize fat burn.

On the whole, I like the DVD a lot. But still went back each time for another 40 min session of my other favourite trainer.




5/5 Jillian is a genius!

I bought this after falling in love with her "30 day shred" video. Jillian Michaels is SOO good at what she does. She makes promises and ALWAYS delivers! This work out is broken up into "circuits" and you can pick and choose which trouble zones to work on. Its tough but you never do a move for more than a minute so its not impossible. I see results already in just a WEEK! It makes me feel more confident and I notice myself walking a bit taller lately.

5/5 Solid total body workout
  by Melissa Paquette (Portland, OR)
I like this workout. Even though it is a toning video, it always makes me break a sweat. There is very little rest here. She uses 3 lb weights throughout, but I keep several sets nearby so I can up my weight when need be. The first time I did it I found it a little boring but effective. As I have done it more I have grown to like it. It is not the most challenging workout I have, but there are definitely times during when I am feeling the pain! Jillian is very positive and encouraging throughout. I would recommend this to anyone.
