Certified instructor description: Two challenging programs that infuse short cardio bursts within the mostly-ab-focused toning. As Jillian says, “it burns overall body fat while also conditioning your core.” The aerobic segments mix calisthenic classics like jumping jacks with cardio-speed floorwork (e.g. mountain climbers and “floor jacks”). The toning sections are also fast-paced. They include a huge variety of cross-body and multi-muscle exercises (e.g. chops with planks, rotations with lunges). No resting or wasted motions, even the between-move transitions are smooth and quick. Includes some easier modifications, but both programs are tough. Requires just one 3 to 10 lb. dumbbell (many moves are kettlebell-style). ©2010. DVD has: Spanish cuing option, Narrow screen, Close captions, Region 1.

Jillian Michaels' 6 Week Six-Pack

My abs need this workout!
I just did Level One of this workout tonight, and it is tough. Jillian is great at keeping my heart rate elevated while at the same time strengthening my core. The selection of exercises is quite innovative and diverse - there is standing ab work as well as floor work; and there are a few variations of the plank. I do not love training my abs but Jillian makes it worthwhile and challenging for me. I haven't done Level 2 yet but Level 1 is a five star ab workout in my opinion. - posted by Amy B on 5/31/2013
Good workout
I thought this was a great work out but not for me. I just got back to working out after having my baby and I don't feel strong enough to perform some of the exercises. Some of the positions are hard to keep as I have bad knees from playing sports when I was younger. If the person is fit and just needs something more challenging then this is the right video for him or her. I won't give up though like I said I just got back and eventually I'll be able to complete the entire workout except for those poses that hurt my knees. :) overall I do recommend this video! - posted by Marianela on 5/23/2013
Meh...
I'm not a big fan of the constant changing of moves nor of Jillians instruction style. The moves are often awkward feeling and don't seem to stabilize or effectively target the abs in some cases, which seems to be a sacrifice of actual effective moves in order to present some "new" or novel way of doing it. Stick with Denise Austin and Tamilee Webb for great abs. - posted by Lucia on 5/23/2013
This workout is no joke!
I bought this DVD mainly due to the reviews. I have been working out on my elliptical and walking 4-5 days a week with no results. I needed something that would be a challenge and this workout is definitely a challenge. I would have given this 5 stars except for the fact that I have a bad knee from an old injury and I have been experiencing sharp pains in that knee during several of the moves. This is a fast paced workout, even the warm up moves quickly. Be prepared to sweat and sweat a lot! I was so sore after the first 2 days that I had really push myself to keep going on the following days. I really expect to see lots of results doing this workout. Jillian really kicks your butt! - posted by Kelly on 5/22/2013
Awesome video!
I absolutely love this video! Jillian kicks your butt! Well worth it! - posted by Amy on 5/18/2013
Love this video!
I really like the options with this video. It has 3 levels of difficulty to use as you progress, and each level has 2 "backup" girls who demonstrate ways to modify each movement for beginners or advanced ladies doing the workout. So in essence, you have 9 levels of increasing difficulty as you develop those abs! I am 57 years old with lots of flab, and notice a difference after only 3 weeks! - posted by Kathy on 5/3/2013
better than i remembered!
I did this workout when it first came out and loved it. I thought I'd do it this morning and I'm glad I did I don't know why I have let this sit so long tho its for ABS your entire body gets a great workout. Legs and arms. If you've past it up don't wait any longer. - posted by Hannah on 4/27/2013
Another great Jillian video
I'm a Jillian fan and have been using her videos for the past year. I hadn't purchased this video until now because I don't usually like workouts that focus on only one section of the body. After doing her Killer Abs video and liking it, I decided to give this one a try. It's great! It gets your heart rate up and you sweat while working your core as well as other major muscle groups. It's been added to my rotation and I've seen a huge difference in my abs. Jillian doesn't disappoint! - posted by Kelli on 3/28/2013
Kick-butt and solid abs
This is a really good 30 minute workout. I'm on the 2nd workout and seeing the results (and feeling the workouts). I usually like 60 minute work-outs, but I've found that Jillian's short work-outs are power-packed and non-stop. I think they do as much good as a 60 minute workout that has slow work-out periods in it. I'm wondering if the other ab video of Jillians that says "staff favorite" has new moves. BYW, I'm 61 yrs. old and in good shape - I'd like to see an older person in some of Jillians videos, although her models are fab! - posted by Diane on 3/16/2013
Best Ab Workout EVER!
This DVD gives a GREAT Ab workout. I am on the third week of the first level (after that you are supposed to do the second level-also on this disc- for the next 3 weeks). I see great results already, not only in my abs but in my legs and rear as well. Level one is pretty hard, though. I'm a little afraid to see what's in store in level two! - posted by Drea on 2/28/2013

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
Spanish cuing option
X
In addition to English, you can choose to hear the program in Spanish.
Narrow screen
X
When played on a widescreen TV, this program will show black bars on the left and right sides. On an older 4x3 ratio TV, it will fill the entire screen.
Region 1
X
This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Aerobics & Toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
