 another dvd from Jillian? woah! prepare for painful weightloss! March 17, 2008
43 out of 58 found this review helpful
wow! another exercise dvd from Jillian! Prepare to have a painful weightloss! I bought her The Biggest Winner - How to Win by Losing: The Complete Body Workout (5-Disc DVD Set: Shape Up - Front, Shape Up - Back, Cardio Kickbox, Maximize - Full Frontal, Maximize - Back in Action) and started last week. I lost 4.5 lbs. by the end of the week! She's really tough, but really encouraging because she feels the pain right along with you (and she's fit!). I definately recommend any of her dvds if you are serious about weightloss. I'm ordering this dvd and hopefully it will stop any plateauing my body attempts to do. So stop sitting here reading these reviews and buy it!!!
 Not my favorite July 8, 2008

I have three other Biggest Loser Instructor DVD's--The Biggest Loser Season 1, The Biggest Loser Cardio Max, and The Power Sculpt. This is my least favorite of all.
First, I think a 2 minute warm-up is not sufficient for the workout (6 circuits of 2 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio, 1 minute abs) that follows. Personally, I wish the the ab work was a standing ab type circuit only because after the cardio circuit, your heartrate if fairly high and then you pop right on your back for abs...I'm not a fitness expert, but I have about 100 exercise DVD's and most allow your heartrate to decline before doing floorwork. It's too much strain on your heart.
I also think that the circuits are too short to really burn enough fat to lose weight. If this DVD were customizable (like the Cardio Max and Power Sculpt) then the viewer could do 2 circuits in a row (excluding the warm-up in between) and get a good workout.
There are good points to the DVD--good instruction, using upper/lower body moves at the same time to raise the heart rate, and no annoying chatter, but when compared to the other Biggest Loser Series Instructors, this is the least useful for me.
Beats Military Style Boot Camp! April 15, 2008
29 out of 30 found this review helpful
I joined a local gym where we are in a Military Style Boot Camp for 5 months. I've been there for 4 weeks and haven't see much difference in either my weight or strength. I decided to dial it up some and purchased Jillian's 30 Day Shred DVD and let me just say, this will get your heart rate going! In just 20 minutes, I was sweating more than in the boot camp class which is saying a lot since the trainers are official Military Service men, they have no mercy. Jillian could teach these trainers a thing or two, that's for sure!! I love/hate this DVD. I love it because I know I'm going to see results FAST but I hate it because it's sooooo hard, even level one is a killer especially for the ones just starting out in the fitness world.
I plan on sticking with this and doing it everyday just to see if I can shed 20 pounds in 30 days like the cover says. My eating is based on the boot camp recommendations which is a lot like Bill Philips Body For Life. Low carbs, low fat & high protein meals.
Overall, I would give this DVD 10 stars if possible. I feel like it will be more beneficial to me than the boot camp which is costing me $350.00 per month for 5 months!
Get this DVD and don't just stare at it for a week like I did. Put it in the player and watch it though one time then attempt to do level 1. If you can't finish it or have to take breaks, that's fine but push yourself to your max. Jillian says not to "phone it in" on these workouts and she's right. You have to want to change your body in order to get through the entire 20 minutes. It becomes a mental game after a while into these workouts. But, it's really rewarding to finish it and know that each time I will be getting stronger and stronger.
Good Luck to those on the same path to wellness as I am on. It's a road less traveled in this diet crazy world but so much quicker and healthier than the alternatives out there.
Thanks Jillian for the killer workouts. I'm off to purchase your book now to get your advice about the nutrition part. I'm sure it's full of ideas that will help me even more to reach my 40 pound weight loss goal!
I agree with Little Ms. Cutey! March 14, 2008

 Repetitive but Good March 29, 2008
20 out of 21 found this review helpful
I am a fitness video fanatic and I own Ms. Michaels other DVD's-The Biggest Winner and the cardio Biggest Loser DVD---she is featured.
This DVD had MANY of the same moves from her other programs. In fact it was a bit repetitve-the moves in the three work-outs overlap and the DVD offers almost identical moves as in her other DVD's.
While this is a super challenging set of three work-outs...the moves feel a bit tired after three times-jumping jacks, arm circles, plank moves, bent over rows. Again and again. I believe this program would get you in shape but eventually boredom will set in. More creativity would make this a phenomenal DVD.
