5 out of 5 stars The Biggest Winner   November 11, 2008
Sarah Wilson (Colorado)
This DVD is wonderful! I really like the works outs. Each work out is only 1/2 hour long - easy to fit in during my son's naptime. I really like that the workouts do not involve any "coordination." She is easy to follow and you don't have to do routines, like other programs. I highly recommend this set.

With Jillian's workout DVDs I find that I do not need to pay a lot of money in gym memberships. The workouts are so effective and I do not need to spend money and time at a gym.


3 out of 5 stars Probably good... but not for me   October 28, 2008

I was disappointed in these DVD's. While the workout is good, it's definitely NOT for beginners. My trainer can't even get through the complete workout and she's in good shape. I was sad to see that the people in the workout with Jillian aren't "real" people, they're all buff athletes. The "beginner" she tells us to watch is rarely shown on the videos and even that beginner is slim and looks to be in good shape. No, I had hoped there would be a little more reality in this workout and not something I'd have to work out for a year before I can do.

If sweating is what you want to do, you'll definitely do it. However, she doesn't spend much time explaining the exercises, doesn't talk about modifying them if this is your first "Jillian" dvd purchase and no where on the DVD does it say that you need a step.

I'm selling these to my gym. They'll use her workouts in the "boot camps" they hold for those that are in shape and want to increase the intensity.

Not for beginners... not a DVD that encourages you to get into shape or continue a fitness routine. I was discouraged and disappointed.



4 out of 5 stars cardio kick box DVD   October 16, 2008

i did the cardio kickbox one, it was a real full on work out, fairly low impact, but man do you work up a sweat!!


3 out of 5 stars Good, short workout best as an add-in to your other workouts   October 5, 2008

This Cardio Kickbox workout it best used as an addition to your other cardio and weight workouts. It is a quick 20 minute workout that Jillian recommends using in the middle of the week to take a break from weight workouts.
I'm a 45 yr. old working mother with three kids. I only have an hour in the morning to exercise/stretch/cooldown/shower so I was looking for something short but intense to help me lose these last 10 lbs.
I gave this 3 stars because I would prefer it to be 30-35 minutes. It's a little too short. I'm in pretty decent shape, but I do work up a sweat. I feel that it doesn't work any particular muscle group intensely, but more of an all-over workout. You work some on your obliques, your legs a bit, but nothing too intensly. This is more of a cardio workout, as it says in the title. I do like to use this in the middle of the week to break up harder workouts that use weights. I also have her 30 Day Shred workout and use that at least two to three days/week. That includes weights for the workout.
The other reason I gave it 3 stars is that she is a bit annoying in this. She does a lot of giggling and even takes a break in the middle to put her hair back. It seems like they started taping this and just went with the first take. It's not as professional as some other tapes. But, it you can get past that then it's an OK workout to use to give yourself a change of pace.
