Certified instructor description:
Led by Jillian Michaels, it features aero/tone intervals and body-part-focused toning. You get the same “last chance” exercises you've seen on TV (the ones done right before the contestants' weigh-in, when each person is pushing for maximum weight loss). Like these previous show participants, you're sure to be energized by Jillian's engaging-yet-aggressive motivational style (“I get no respect,” “shut up and stop whining!”). The aero/tone segment features six circuits of high-intensity cardio alternated with metabolism-boosting toning. The two ending sections target your upper or lower body. DVD includes shorter pre-mixed workouts. Requires 1 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2009.
