Time graph for Jillian Michaels: Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism

A no nonsense series of easy-to-follow aero/tone intervals led by “The Biggest Loser” trainer. As always, Jillian is definitely “forceful,” but she’s also surprisingly supportive (she really wants you to succeed). The cardio segments feature non-dancy, athletic moves like kickboxing, calisthenic jacks and plyometric jumps. The core-focused body-sculpting includes both standing and floor moves. Jillian skillfully alternates upper and lower-body exercises to keep your heart rate elevated and your blood pumping. For maximum results, each circuit is done once, then repeated at a slightly higher intensity (“with intention”). ©2008. DVD has: Chapter menus, Music only option, Region 1.

Jillian Michaels: Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism
Good, but boring
I don't deny these exercises are effective - they get my heart rate up and make me sweat - but......heck, I'm not sure what it is....maybe the pacing or Jillian's yakking, but it bores me. I didn't dislike it enough to send it back but I don't like it enough to reach for it very often. - posted by Susan W. on 8/27/2010

This workout is worth your time!
Love Jillian's circuit workouts! (I have her 30 day Shred workout.) I know what I'm getting into and I can maintain a high intensity throughout the workout. I get an all over body workout with no equipment. I sweat and groan through the workout but I still come back for more! - posted by Libby on 8/19/2010

Great workout!
Loved this video. Not fluffy or old-school mom aerobics. Just a great workout. - posted by Lisa on 7/29/2010

Great Fat Burning Cardio!!!!!!!!!!!
This was absolutely awesome the moves in here are easy but their very fast paced with circuits done in between them it really got my heart rate up in a short amount of time even though i had like another 40 minutes left to finish it. I highly recommend this to someone who wants to burn fat really quick you will instantly feel the sweat in your hair as soon as you hop into it. - posted by Gina on 7/26/2010

Sweaty Snooze Fest
Tough and effective? yes. But utilitarian and there isn't enough of your mind engaged to keep me interested long term. Standing ab work doesn't hurt my abs as much as floor work abs...so that wasn't as effective as it could have been either...I'm looking forward to Bob Harper's dvds. I've had enough of the overmarketing of old school exercise. - posted by Meghana on 7/21/2010

Challenges in a good way
I have been using videos since Jan. 2010. Leslie Sansone, Debra Mazda, and Denise Austin. I am 52 and have a knee replacement. I ordered this video to try to ramp it up a little. I have to modify some of the moves to lower impact and Jillian shows some modifications. This video is challenging but doable for me. I started sweating immediately. I feel like I got a great work out and still have room for improvement. If you are older and not in the best shape, don't be intimidated by this one. Give it a try. I love it. - posted by Mary on 7/6/2010

Killer and Effective workout.... Best way to get cardio in!!!!!
I just started this video and just finished doing the 30 day shred with Jillian. I love everything about this workout video. I am 25 years old and have always worked out at a gym, but am getting the best workout in my life from Jillian's workout videos. I am drenched when I am done with Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. I feel so energized afterward. I would recommend this video to anyone that wants to be challenged. As long as you are motivated to do the workout you can get through it. I have bad knees and will do a different move for some harder jumping exercises, but other than that I am doing what Jillian does. I would rather do this video than do any cardio machine ever again!!!!! I cant wait to get her No More Trouble Zones video next. I am more in shape now and am feeling great everyday. - posted by Laura on 6/15/2010

No weights in this one
Great workout...good for days without resistance. - posted by Jo on 6/12/2010

Great Workout
This video is tuff, but I felt great afterward and definitely feel the difference in my cloths. Jillian is tuff, but very motivating. She seems to say just the right things just when you need to hear them. This is a must for @ home fitness people. - posted by Sally on 6/11/2010

Jillian Rules
This is a difficult but great workout, I felt it for days after, never boring and she's Jillian which is entertaining in itself. - posted by Marian on 6/8/2010

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

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.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Music only option

This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).

Region 1

This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.

Level

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

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

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

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

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.
