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 option, Close captions, Region 1.

Jillian Michaels' 6 Week Six-Pack

Great Workout
This workout is approximately 20 minutes. I workout w/this DVD 1-3 times a week - when I don't have a lot of time. It is VERY effective. It's tough at first, but after doing this workout, it becomes easier - yet is very effective. Listening to Jillian over the course of 6 months, it can be a bit annoying - I just turn the volume down and watch the television news. I highly recommend. - posted by Queen Creek on 5/15/2012
OUCH! Feel the burn, indeed!
There's no playing around with this DVD -- you jump right in and start working. I rotate to this DVD once/week (my body requires recovery time!) and I look forward to the day when I can get through the workout, finishing STRONG! I am 40 and pretty athletic (I run and do DVD workouts 5x/week), but I've got some vanity pounds to lose. I don't want a man body, but I DO want to tone up! - posted by Karolyn on 5/11/2012
I absolutely love this DVD
A great time efficient workout to tone the abs. - posted by Constance on 4/19/2012
You Go Jillian!
Ahh Jillian...she kills me! But I love it! Her dvd's challenge me and always remind me of why I purchased it, for results! Yes, I have results from using this and her previous released dvd's. This dvd is a nice accompaniment to my other dvd's. Thanks Jillian, keep your style which is encouraging people to do better for their health, challenges for the body so we don't get bored...thank you! - posted by old_lady on 3/18/2012
Loved it!!!
This is not only my first time writing a review but also my first time trying a Jillian Michaels workout and it's definitely love at first try. I would consider myself intermediate to advance and this workout was no joke yet easy enough to pick up on. Although, I only managed to get through the first circuit (barely) I can definitely see that with consistency I will be able to achieve the 6 pack of my dreams in no time. This is definitely something to build up to and will definitely be included in my regular routine. Thank you Jillian, you rock!!! - posted by Daria on 3/6/2012

This is not just abs!
I was expecting the usual ab routine but this is done in typical Jillian Michaels style. She always likes to include HIT (high intensity training) segments even when doing abs. As she explains, you have to burn fat or you won't be able to see those great abs! You can't fake this though, and as she reminds you, you have to focus and visualize your abs or you won't see results. - posted by Sandy on 2/23/2012
Challenging
I love to work my abs. The ab exercises are difficult, but I like that. Also like that she always makes you sweat. - posted by Leslie on 2/9/2012
Six Pack Abs
I love Jillian workouts! These workouts work your abs and burn lots of calories at the same time. I've never sweated so much doing ab work! Her routines are always easy to follow the first time you try them. If you love Jillian's style and energy, you'll love this DVD. - posted by Tammy on 1/26/2012
This works
I recently turned 50 and thought my days of flat sculpted abs were over. I purchased this video because of a running injury and needed some cross training. I would rather run but did this video and modified some of the moves so I wouldn't aggravate my injury. I now only do the first part (I don't repeat the whole thing again as she does) as maintenance, then I do upper or lower body strengthening. I have great abs now!! I actually show people them! I recommend this video to everyone I know. Not sure why this was so effective, maybe because I actually did it 2 to 3x a week. I can wear a bikini! - posted by Danica on 1/21/2012

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.

Spanish option
X
In addition to English, you can choose to hear the program in Spanish.
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.

Floor 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.
