No doubt about it, this is a killer workout and highly effective. If you want to lose pounds this will do it. I do suggest lifting weights aside from just doing this video also.
What ruined the video was Jillian’s abrasive personality. I don’t enjoy people who pretend to be hard a**es while they don’t complete the workout themselves. She’s too busy posing for the camera and envoking her ‘tv personality’ instead of doing the workout. I find this totally annoying. I have watched other videos where the technique and form are properly explained and the instructor is actually performing the workout. She need to practice what she preaches. I still do the workout though, in order to balance my frustration with her and the positive effects of the workout, I just pretend to kick and punch her when the workout calls for kicks and punches. HA!

I only like circuit 5 so I do it three times. Too much jumping in the other circuits. The abs circuit was ok, nothing new. I would be happy if one of the circuit contained weight training. Over all I waste my money on this one.

Okay, so I think some of the raving reviews on here are kind of silly. It’s a workout DVD, so how good can it really be? I guess the answer depends on what you are really shopping for. I bought this because I wanted to have something to play on my laptop when I travel and want to workout. It’s great for early morning workouts to wake you up and get the heart rate pumping. I’m completely satisfied with this product for that reason, but if you are looking for something to really tone up, then you need to go running or go to a gym.

First of all, windmills (or as Jillian calls them “alternating toe touches” have been known to be bad for your back for about 20 years now. Repetitive bending at the lumbar spine with your knees straight—isn’t that what they tell you NOT to do at all of your ergonomic meetings at work? So her warm-up is a little sketchy.
The workout itself is okay. This is not a low impact aerobic video, and is more suited for someone who is in decent shape. There are lower impact variations of most of the moves she does. But, you’d be better off buying a video more suited for low impact aerobics that trying to adjust this one to fit your needs.
I can’t imagine doing this video over and over again, as it is one 40 minute workout. I would think most people would get bored with it after seven or so times in a row. Jillian says if we keep doing this workout with her, we’ll look like her models. I’m sure we would die of boredom before then.
I expected a lot more out of a Jillian Michaels video, but I don’t do many of these. I wanted something I could do at home while my babies were sleeping or otherwise occupied. I also bought P90X which I love (and hate at the same time because it’s so hard) and I thought I could use Jillian’s video during the aerobic day. Maybe. I just need to cut out the windmills and only use it once a month so I don’t get bored.
