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
Great Cardio Workout!
I just tried this last night for the first time (bought it a week ago) and loved it! I also own 30-day Shred, and although I like it, I do notice it is a little harder on the knees then "Banish Fat.." I consider myself intermediate and work out 5-6 times a week with Cathe Friedrich, Jari Love, and other DVD's that are my faves. I will definitely add this Jillian workout to my rotation. It's a great, tough workout, and is fun too! The moves are not difficult which I also liked. I can already feel the soreness! This is a keeper! - posted by Kim on 11/18/2009

Jillian delivers again!
After giving up my gym membership, I thought that I would be stuck with my ancient elliptical and some half-hearted free weight moves for the rest of the winter. Luckily, I picked up a few of Jillian's videos (I am a huge fan of her work on The Biggest Loser and own a few of her books). I had resigned to the idea that I couldn't get a good sweat in with videos any longer - I used to do them in high school, but now I consider myself more of an "advanced" exerciser. Boy, was I wrong. By the second circuit I was drenched in sweat and wondering if I could get through the rest of this "kick-butt" workout. I did, but it was certainly a challenge I wasn't expecting. This video is now my favourite way to sweat it out. Sometimes when I don't have enough time or I don't have enough energy going into the workout, I will cut out the 4th circuit (ab/mat work) or the last but nothing feels better than making it through the entire thing non-stop. I mix it up with Jillian's other videos "No More Trouble Zones" and "30 Day Shred" but for a cardio blast, this is by far the most effective. I will recommend this to all of my friends looking for a great challenge. My only complaint is that in certain parts of the DVD the music has a clicky noise in the background that I always mistake for my husband clipping his toenails upstairs. Not a big deal, but I fall for it every time. :) - posted by Rachel on 11/14/2009

Great, high intensity workout
This is another of Jillian's keepers. Very challenging but makes you feel great that you got through it. I had to work up to being able to properly perform some moves. Pretty much non-stop. Not really for the beginner. I have been working out for 6 years, but have really ramped it up in the last 2 years-it gets easier the more it is done, but still remains very effective and is a keeper in my rotation. - posted by Helen on 11/9/2009

Killer Cardio!!!
This was a very intense cardio workout. I was soaked in sweat by the time I was done. I will purchase a HR monitor to see how much calories I can burn. Didn't like the music or some of the moves. I find my 11 year old daughter doing this video without me sometimes. She is a Jillian Michaels fan also! Looking forward to trying some of her other videos. Definitely like JM tough "trainer" attitude. I need that. Reminds me of my instructor at the gym. - posted by Mom & Kelly on 11/6/2009

Great for cardio!!!
I did this video today for the first time. I have to admit, I thought I was in great shape. Jillian definitely kicked my butt! This was a tough one, yet easy to follow. I normally do cardio 5-6 days a week at the gym and thought I'd try something different for a change. Music though got on my nerves by the end (boring). Can't wait to see how "sore" I am tomorrow! My hair was drenched in sweat by the time I got done. Would definitely recommend this video. - posted by Mary on 11/6/2009

Love this DVD
I really enjoy this DVD and it is a great change from standard cardio for me~the mix of plyo and kickboxing gets the HR up and it is enjoyable as well. Definitely one DVD that I keep on rotation. Modifications can be made for the beginner to advanced-it is all about how much intensity you to bring too. - posted by JSMALL on 10/20/2009

LOVE THIS!
I admit that the first time I tried this, I got turned off by the first circuit and turned off the TV. BUT! I kept meaning to give it another chance and once I did, I loved it. It is challenging but doable and gets your heart rate up. I felt great during and after, a great endorphin high. Provides body weight toning for lower body, my legs were feeling it for sure. Jillian is less "bad girl" than in NMTZ, which is a pleasant improvement. LOVE THIS WORKOUT, totally recommend it. - posted by Melissa on 10/14/2009

don't phone it in
I love jillian's 30 day shred (i usually do level 2 and 3 back to back)and her other video - no more trouble zones or something, so i was really excited about this one. there is no denying that jilian makes use of some of the best and most efficient plyo and cardio moves to get your "heart gurgling in your throat" i think she put it once, aptly. Anyway, this workout is fine, but I felt like it was maybe too long... the first circuit was kind of lame and I thought it didn't bode well for the rest of the vid, but sure enough the 2nd circuit was soon kicking my butt. I felt like some of the kickboxing moves could use some weighted gloves (which I employed and was satisfied) and I really enjoyed the circuits that were nonstop hardcore plyo moves and high knee type stuff back to back - no mercy! that's the jillian I love. Anyway, if you have a history of liking jillian's other workouts, and you pledge allegiance to the plank, then this one is well worth having in your collection. I probably won't do it as frequently as the others though. PS her girl on the right was killing me - she hardly ever seemed out of breath despite that she was clearly doing the moves at full force! yeesh! - posted by Joanie on 9/20/2009

Just what I need
This is just amazing and pairs well with her No more trouble zone. I can already feel it. I am inter / adv level in good shape, just what I need spec. if you want to tone your abs. You won't be sorry. - posted by Star on 9/2/2009

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.
