Very Challenging...And Very Good!! Nov 06, 2009
I have owned Jillian's 30 Day shred DVD for a few months ago, and wanted to switch it up a bit. This workout is FANTASTIC!!! It would be pretty difficult for beginners (It's pretty tough for me, and I have been working out with her DVD's and running 4 days a week for about 4 weeks now) but she gives lots of words of encouragement to keep pushing through. Very hard, but not boring, and the moves are fun, even though I can't do them all completely yet. By far my favorite DVD, and I have owned a LOT of fitness DVDs.
exercise for swimmers Nov 05, 2009
I am 11 years old and I have done this workout 2 times. I am on the swimteam, so I was able to do the whole 40 minute workout. The combination punches were the hardest for me. Also, the squat jumps were tough. I could understand from her instructions what to do. I didn't like what she was wearing, the pants are too low, and it is not flattering. She acts a little too tough, and kinda shows off. Besides that, I liked the workout, and it will make me stronger for swimming!

So much pain! Oct 30, 2009
Okay, so I just completed this workout. So we'll skip over the part where I'm still panting and sweating on my laptop....
This kicked my butt. I'm not in very good shape, coming off several months of being pretty lazy as life got the better of my workout plans. So I'm feeling it, that's for sure! I really like Jillian Michael's style. Some of the very cutesy fitness gurus annoy me. I just want to yell at the tv "You can't see me! You have no idea whether I'm feeling the burn or not!" Jillian's style is different- she says that you SHOULD be feeling the burn or you aren't working hard enough. Same basic idea, but I find it much less annoying and more motivating.
Some of the exercises were just plain challenging. The mountain climbers and 180's were incredibly difficult. I could only do about 1 in every 3 or 4 that Jillian and the other two girls could do. But at the end of the time, I was still huffing, puffing and cursing Jillian under my labored breath. I can already feel muscles hurting that I didn't even know existed!
There's a lot- A LOT- of jumping. Jumping squats, jumping scissor kicks, jump rope, etc. So if you have severe knee or ankle problems, this might not be the video for you. I couldn't do all the high jumps, could only manage little baby jumps. But I'll try to work my way up to doing the bigger kicks.
I did take perverse pleasure in the fact that I am more flexible than Jillian. I may not have her ripped abs but dang it, I'm more bendy than she is. Ha!
Kicks your butt!! Oct 27, 2009
I love Jillian, she is an amazing work out partner! I have all of her dvd's that are out and have to say that this one is by far, the hardest one! Her intervals are very intense and increase by every one that you complete.
I like doing Billy Blanks bootcamp and then adding Jillian into the mix. It keeps me going and not getting bored!
Just like any work at home dvd, some things said in the dvd's are cheesy, but in this one, she has me cracking up at random parts. Another great add to this dvd is that you can choose to turn off the commentary by her and just stick with the music! a big bonus!~

Jillian is the best! Oct 24, 2009
I love her no nonsense attitude!! This video is an awesome workout! Especially for those like me, who cannot get out to the gym! Better than any workout I've done at the gym!
