But I mean it in a good way! This is, without any shadow of a doubt, the most intensive workout DVD I've ever tried (and I have a good few, including Davina, Nell McAndrew, The Firm etc etc...) Jillian and her two helpers (one advanced, one 'normal') take you through three 20 minute workouts - Levels 1, 2 and 3. Each workout is made up of three circuits which comprise of 3 minutes of weights, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of ab work.
Like me, you may well be thinking this sounds reasonable, quick and easy. It isn't! Even Level 1 is an intensive workout - lots of jumping jacks, squats, bum kicks etc., and Jillian doesn't let up for a second, constantly keeping you moving. I found I had to use lighter weights than I would for a Davina workout; the exercises are so quick and intense that I couldn't keep up with my usual ones. The exercises have a real 'military' feel and change quickly, and you are given plenty of instruction and encouragement. The music isn't great, but then you probably won't have the energy to think much about it while you're doing this workout!
Levels 2 and 3 contain harder exercises (such as burpees, mountain climbs, jumping jacks from the plank position). I've got a passable fitness level, but on finishing Level 2 I was in a collapsed screaming heap on the floor, thoroughly worked out! Jillian screams at some point in Level 2 "I want you to feel like you're gonna DIE!" - and if you're anything like me, you will! On the plus side, if you can do Level 2, I don't think you'll find Level 3 too much of a difference in intensity, unless you have weak abs as this section pushes them to the limit.
This is a fantastic workout to try if you're looking to push yourself hard, but it is NOT for the faint hearted. Read more ›

Bought this DVD for my wife. With the diet and the workout, she's lost 11lb in 5 weeks. So proud of her.

This CD is worth more than the price. I enjoyed every bit of it and easier to do in a short while. Not too stressful and worked for me within one week.

I was very nervous about this... However I am 5ft2 and did weigh 16.9 stone!!! Not a healthy size and needed to "shred" the fat!
I had learnt about the programme via a community health group I joined several months ago however the class was 1hr a week and was seeing results, as well as eating less crap! I decided that to have more impact with weight-loss I needed to do more and knew I had 20 mins at the very least once a day, even though I do need another 20 to recover its a positive recovery period and feel every ache and pain as that step closer to losing weight and inches!
Jillian for me is very motivational direct, to the point (see her on biggest loser Us!!) and for some like me who has used every trick and excuse in the book for the reason not to exercise or that I am big boned, or too unfit to exercise etc I need someone who is harsh, not fluffy and just speaks facts!!
This is not easy, had a very low fitness level and still sweat a hell of a lot with Level 2, but I am getting better, stronger and more importantly slimmer!! I do not stick to the strict diet but do think more about what I eat, especially before and after!!
As you can do this in your house it is OK not to complete the 20 mins whilst you get used to it, no one is looking, its OK to fall over or lose your balance... no one is watching your in the comfort of your own home and you WILL pick it up and get stronger... little dramatic maybe but I am down to 14 st 6 lbs in 2 months.... MEGA!!! It has been a very long time since I have lost weight, felt better and less concious but also keep it off an actually enjoy my 20mins of brutal torture with Jillian... Read more ›

I bought this DVD without knowing who Jillian Michaels was; I bought it because of the reviews on Amazon. I also bought her book "Making the Cut". This makes a great companion to the DVD as it contains advice on moderating the diet according to body type etc as well as lots of inspiration and instruction as to the most effective circuits to totally cut the body (not started that process yet - will post review when followed the book's 30 day plan).
Making the Cut: The 30-day Diet and Fitness Plan for the Strongest, Sexiest You
I was a little sceptical about exercising for only 20 minutes, but thought I would give it a go. Over the years, I have used fitness DVDs on occasion, but have never found them to be a true replacement for going to the gym or a class at the gym. I use a pilates machine at home so have no problem with strength in some areas, but wanted to raise my heart rate and really try to burn off any excess fat.
I am only halfway through the programme, so will update at the end of my programme, but I just wanted to say to anybody who is thinking about buying this DVD: JUST BUY IT AND GET STARTED!! It is amazing. As previous reviewers have said, the three levels of difficulty are set up so that you do 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes cardio and 1 minute abs per circuit and there are 3 circuits. Again, as stated elsewhere, Jillian has Natalie and Anita working out with her; Anita shows the beginners moves while Natalie really goes for it. The individual exercises are themselves fairly traditional moves that will be recognisable to anyone who has done a gym class, or even PE at school. Read more ›
