'It's about being empowered in every single aspect of your life!' - Jillian Michaels

Certified instructor description: 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”).

Definite metabolism boost!
I am 41 years old and have 3 kids. Up until now, if I wanted to lose or maintain weight I would have to eat like a bird and swear off all sweets and alcohol--no matter how many times I went to the gym that week or how many miles I ran. For the first time since my mid 20's, I can eat dessert now and then and have a glass of wine (or 2) in the evening and not worry that I will gain a pound. It took about a month or two of a regular Jillian work-out routine before the metabolism boost really started to take affect. I workout 5 days each week, 4 of those days with a Jillian DVD and one with a yoga DVD. Then two days of much needed rest. Jillian's DVDs are really tough, especially this one, but once I started to see the effects it has been a great motivator to know that if I just do my workout today I can go out for a big lunch or dinner and I will still weigh less tomorrow. I never thought I would see this kind of metabolism again, and it's been great! And no more expensive gym membership, not to mention the convenience of a great workout right in my own garage.

Another excellent workout!
Just received this DVD yesterday and couldn't wait to try it. I've been using the 30 day shred for about 6 months and needed something new to make me break a sweat again. This workout was hard, but moved quickly and the moves were not complicated. Love Jillian's motivation as she progresses through the workout. My legs are a little sore today, but can't wait to workout again with this DVD. It is a little challenging, but once you're finished you feel great. I highly recommend this DVD.

Intense Workout!
I purchased this DVD along with No More Trouble Zones after having done the 30 Day Shred for several months. The Shred was a great introduction to working out, which is something I rarely did before. By doing it 5 days a week, I lost the 15 pounds needed to get to my goal weight. Banish Fat and No More Trouble Zones are intense, one hour workouts that definitely get you sweating like crazy. I rotate between these two videos every other day, 5 days a week. Many of the moves are repeated from the Shred, but since these videos are longer they work you out so much harder. I am in good shape but still have to push myself to get through Banish Fat. Circuit 2 is especially difficult, so once you get through that the rest is more manageable. These DVDs have helped me get into the best shape of my life and I never imagined I would get so toned (in just over a month!). Jillian is great, I highly recommend this workout! My only complaint is the lame music, but you're usually working so hard you tune it out anyway.

Every Fitness lvl. Love it!!!
I was looking for a simple beginners cardio video to start out with. I am obese and pretty inflexible. I was slightly concerned when I read some of the reviews of athletic people having trouble with this video but decided to go ahead and try it. This video is extraordinary! Even with my little knowledge and inflexibility I was able to do this video. It is broken down into segments which make it easy as well as an option to do the video with commentary/music and without. The first day I was only able to do the warm-up. I'm easily 100 pounds over weight so this was an accomplishment for me. For a week I then did just the workout and the first segment along with the cool down. I'm working my way into doing more and more segments. Even though my movement isn't perfect at least I'm moving. I would definitely recommend this video to anyone no matter what fitness level they are.
