Jillian Michaels' Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism |
 Nice workout |
| I was a little hesitant after the the 30 Day Shred because it was a lot of going down to the floor and back up... I really enjoyed this one and look forward to doing it... even the abs is stand up and I really felt them later that day! - posted by Maureen on 1/26/2012 |

| Burn Fat Boost Metabolism |
| Such a hard and fun workout. I love all the kickboxing moves in it. It has plyometrics in it to, which I hate doing but am glad to have on the DVD anyway because they are so effective - posted by Colleen on 1/17/2012 |

| My go to DVD |
| This is my go to DVD. I've been using this for a month now. Yes, it is hard, strenuous and intense but if you truly want a good workout then this is the one. I started out with having to do the modifiers and have been improving to were I don't need to use a modifier as much still having problems with the planks. I like the fact that you use your own body weight instead of weights. I can see a difference in my body. I haven't lost alot of weight maybe about 6 lbs just mainly inches. My clothes are getting loser, so I think I'm building more muscle. I feel great which is very important to me. I do this DVD at least 2 to 3 times a week without even thinking about. - posted by ckhdgrl on 12/5/2011 |

| This workout is interchangeable |
| This workout is longer than her usual 30 minute shred workouts but it packs the same punch!! There are seven different six minute circuits plus her usual warmup and cool down so you can do them all depending on your time, or you can skip one or two. I like that its like the DVD works with your schedule!
It is intense but you to get a breather every once in a while. It is a total body aerobic workout!!! - posted by Lisa B on 12/2/2011 |

 simple, effective cardio |
| I used Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper to lose 50lbs post-pregnancy weight. This one was my FIRST EVER workout video along with 30 Day Shred about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time, I was just a beginner exerciser and found this video extremely challenging. Very basic cardio (jumping jacks, burpees, high knee's, butt kicks, lots of high impact plyo type moves). I barely made it through, sweating, huffing and grunting. Jillian does act tough and aggressive at times, but I like that. It made me want to work harder. So yes, she is not the "nicest" trainer, but if you want to sweat and lose weight, she is your gal. The music is bad, yes very bad, but I am not really the type of person who gets bothered by it. I would have given this video a 5, but after doing it a few times, I got bored and it had a certain dread factor, not fun factor. I have since then, found other trainers to have better video's that work you just as hard but are also fun. Nonetheless, if you want a direct, simple approach, don't have equipment and your knee's and joints can take the high impact, this is a wonderful start. - posted by Natasha on 11/18/2011 |

| Another great one by Jillian |
| I'm 45 and have been working out since January 2010. Jillian DVDs dominate my library. Hubby got this particular one for me last Christmas. It stayed in the wrapper while I used her other DVDs. Not sure why I kept avoiding it but finally a little over a month ago, feeling in a workout rut, I decided to give it a try. I LOVE IT! I'm so sorry I didn't try it sooner! MWF I do 30 to 35 minutes worth before getting ready for work. I do the entire DVD either Sat or Sun. TTH I work out with Chris Freytag. I've noticed a big difference in my legs and backside with my current workout routine. The moves are simple to learn and constant. Some segments are a bit more intense than others but all are doable. I highly recommend this DVD. I'm just sorry I've been missing out for almost an entire year! - posted by Michelle on 11/10/2011 |

| great workout! |
| This video was great for a beginner or an advanced workout. It gets you sweating hard but you want to keep going! For someone who has been slacking on the exercise, this video made me want to get up and get to work. It was also about half the price as they go for in the stores. Great deal! - posted by Tina on 11/7/2011 |

| Loved it! |
| I am used to really high intensity aerobics like TurboFire and normally get bored with lower ones. Surprisingly, I loved this workout! It is intense enough to raise your heartbeat and makes you feel like you are getting a good workout but at the same time, easy enough for anyone to enjoy!! This is one of Jillian's more manageable routines. I will definitely be including it in my workout regime! - posted by Lenesha on 10/21/2011 |

| Missed this |
| this was one I was used to do but lost. Great total body for anyone! I've removed abs and legs from my lifting week and added this twice a week and It's a good work out. Jillian offers a great pace for beginners and advanced. This one offers up a great workout for someone with joint problems with limited plyo but the same sweating buckets results! - posted by Missy on 10/6/2011 |

| great workout!! |
| i decided to buy this video after talking with someone who has been using it (and has since lost over 100 pounds!). on her recommendation i tried it ---i was surprised how hard it was but found i loved the workout--i have been using the biggest loser workout and love it too but was getting bored by the fact that i had been using it for so long--i needed a change and this was it! it keeps your heart rate up and i found i was sweating by the end of it (actually by the middle of it). its not boring because jillian switches it up by moving from circuit to circuit and keeps you motivated by her training style--i love it and recommend it to anyone needing a boost to their workouts - posted by susan on 9/29/2011 |
