 Pretty Good! Mar 03, 2010
I've done this workout a few times now, and I think it's a fairly good fitness DVD.
Pros:
The workouts are tough, and are for a fit beginner, or intermediate exerciser. I have a pretty good fitness level, but needed to take some of the modifications in order to get through it all.
Believe it or not, but Jackie Warner is not that "peppy", which I appreciate in a fitness DVD.
Cons:
The DVD menu is kind of shoddy. I tried to adjust the volume mid-workout once, and was kicked all the way back to the main menu.
None of the people in this were actually cast for a fitness DVD, and sometimes they look just downright miserable or bored. The one exception to this is the really blonde girl.... can't remember her name right now.
I live in an apartment, and the some of the cardio segments do a lot of jumping. Depending on the time of day, I might have to modify these to be more considerate to my neighbors.
Overall, I like the workout, and I like that it's both strength and cardio x-training. It's hard to find a DVD that's right for your level of fitness, and personally, I've found it with this DVD.

 Wow!! Feb 15, 2010
I let this video sit around for six months before opening it - I had purchased Denise Austin's bootcamp at the same time and thought that would be the video I would see results with. I was wrong - and on Saturday, I decided to finally open this DVD and complete the whole workout. It was amazing and I can't wait to do it again!! Unfortunately, I have to wait and rest - since my arms and shoulders are so sore. After one workout, I already feel stronger. I'm excited to see the results after one to two months as others have mentioned in their reviews. You will definitely feel this workout all over. Jackie reminds you when movements are suppose to 'burn' and to do only part of the movement if you can't keep up with the full ones.
The upper body workout is definitely my favorite, however, the core workout comes in a close second. There are even modified movements done by one of the other trainers - helpful for someone like me who still has a sensitive neck from a car accident years ago.
I love this - just wish I had opened it sooner!
Really Intense, Great Workout! Feb 08, 2010
This DVD is more difficult than the Power Circuit Training with Jackie - but still totally doable and very worth the purchase. I like that this workout incorporates cardio in with the strength training moves, which her other one does not, but this one also requires a little more time - better for days when I have a little extra time to workout and really want to sweat (and curse). Jackie is very focused on form and very motivational and she also offers modifications for easier and harder, which is key. I like that instead of working the whole body (like Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred) it works one zone at a time - abs, upper body, lower body - so you can rotate them doing each one for 3 days out of a week or do each one once during the week if you prefer. If you like the intensity of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred than you will like this DVD.
Excellent workout video Feb 06, 2010
This is an excellent workout video. You get the best results you can get without having to pay for a personal trainer and you don't even have to leave your house. It is broken up into three different parts so it is easy to split up your workout based on your preference.

GREAT MOVES Feb 01, 2010
I AM A STRONG JILLIAN MICHAELS FOLLOWER BUT WANTED TO KICK IT UP A BIT WITH SOME NEW VIDEOS. THIS DID THE TRICK. ALTHOUGH SHE HAS A FEW OF THE SAME EXERCISES AS JM SHE DEFINITELY HAS SOME I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND CAN FEEL THEM WORK. THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS SHE HAS THE VIDEO BROKEN UP INTO 3 PARTS, UPPER BODY, LOWER BODY AND CORE. SO IF YOU WANT A COMPLETE WORKOUT YOU NEED TO DO ALL THREE. I WOULD LIKE TO DO A BIT OF ALL THREE IN 40 MINUTES INSTEAD OF ALL THREE IN 60 MINUTES, BUT FEEL GUILTY IF I DON'T DO THE WHOLE WORKOUT. I RUN ON THE TREADMILL EVERYDAY TOO, BUT WANT A COMPLETE WORKOUT ALSO. SO TO RUN FOR 50 MINUTES THEN WORKOUT FOR 60 MINUTES ISN'T IDEAL FOR ME, BUT MAY BE PERFECT FOR OTHERS. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS VIDEO TO THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING TO KICK UP THEIR ROUTINE. YOU DEFINITELY FEEL YOUR WORKOUT AFTER THIS VIDEO!!
