As requested, I'd like to share MY opinions on this video. I had heard great things back in my NYC living days and bought it online at amazon, as it wasn't in stores readily available at that time.
So I bought it and took it home to plan the next 30 days till a skinny life.
The first time I used it was appalled at my own inability to do jumping jacks. I recalled doing those as a child for hours 'for fun' and here I was pushing to complete about 30 seconds worth!
The concept is simple,, she does three rotations ...each rotation has 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of abs. There is a 'beginner' assistant to follow or an 'advanced' assistant to follow depending on your skill level. There are three levels of rotations so you can kinda bounce around if you want. I personally cannot get to the advanced woman level on the first rotation so I've postponed the other rotations till I can.
So the first time I did it for about 7 days straight. Let it be noted. Those were seven HIGHLY painful achy days. Its amazing how she'll make you hurt in a good way and then explain why you have to work non-stop cause your only working for 20 minutes!
Then I moved and lost the dvd for awhile. Just got a copy back from Christine and I have been alternating Jillian days with gym days.. as Jillian keeps me strong and does the weight things that scare me at the gym and the gym keeps the cardio building so that I can get to my 5k goals.
Overall,,, its a great dvd to have and if you can make it through 30 full days I'm sure your body would indeed shred pounds right now. I personally have not completed that many so I have no proof. Its a dvd I revisit and one that properly kicks my butt in a non-coordinated way.
This dvd is one anyone can do, there are no tricky steps or difficult tasks,,, she talks you through (if you leave the audio on which you can remove) the proper way to lunge (yeah there is a proper way), the proper way to do push ups (so now your getting a FULL picture on the personal torture your in for right?)
I fully believe that this DVD will do what it says it will.... I just am too weak!:)
If you can complete 30 days.. I want to know it shredding your bod so I can try harder??/ eek!
