 I developed horrible knee pain & am not grossly overweight! October 12, 2008
This workout is great, I did it 3 - 4 days per week for 1 month, but along the way developed horrible left knee pain. No one move sent me over the edge, it was progressive, I now have an arthritic knee & have great pains with changes in the weather/barometric pressure. The exercises are simple & remind me of basic gym class moves as a kid. It is easy to follow with great prompting. I cannot believe that Jillian's "no excuses, there's no modification" for many moves, I am 20 pounds overweight, but anyone carrying greater amoounts af weight must really be hurting their knees. I've given the DVD away, it was just harmful to my knee.
 the best workout tape - ever! October 12, 2008
Cheerful, motivating, complete workout in 20 minutes with 3 varieties to choose from in each of the 3 levels. Starts with showing the Biggest Loser contestants working out with Jillian " Ooo - Eric means business"-What more can you ask for than to have the Biggest Loser personal trainer totally devoted - to you - saying "I have 400# people doing these jumping jacks - so - can - you ... these abs don't come for free, you're going to have to work for it, and you can - don't you dare turn off that DVD - we're almost done in 4-3-2-1. ;-) I lost 6" in one month.
Short but not sweet October 11, 2008
My normal exercise routine consists of a Mon., Wed., Fri. run of 3-4 miles and a Tues., Thurs. video toning workout. I was pessimistic of this particular video due to its short 20 min. length. I didn't think I would get anything out of it. Boy was I wrong! There are three 20 minute workout options (all challenging), and each workout consists of three, INTENSE strength, cardio, and ab circuits. I wanted to cry by the end!!! It is a great, quick workout that you can feel like you've accomplished a lot. I was dripping with sweat when I was done.
Great DVD October 8, 2008

This DVD is very effective. I am a person that is fit and exercises almost every day. I have been using this DVD for about 4 weeks just 3 times a week and have seen improvements in my body. It is suggested to use everyday, but if you are just maintaining you body weight 3/wk is good. I love the short time frame of the workout. Even if you are busy, you can fit it in. Jillian is to the point, but not annoying. She is much nicer on the DVD than on the biggest loser.
Effective - great use of limted workout time... October 7, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a great workout - a very effective use of roughly 30 minutes!
I recommend additional stretching at the warm up and cool down.
A little background - I have been working out - both cardio and strength/core training 4-6 days/wk - for 5 months.
This workout showed me that the strength and core portions of my previous workout were very week. It very much reminds me of time spent with my personal trainer who also used basic moves in a similar circuit - cardio, strength, core. However basic/ elementary the moves, the intensity and pending results keep it interesting. I find the familiarity with the moves a plus; perfecting my form for optimal results is taken out of the equation.
Previously, I was burning over 700 calories/day on the elliptical - taking an hour of my time. Others suggested that I was spending too much time on cardio, I justified the time for the calories.... my mistake.
My first run through this workout seemed like a good workout but not especially difficult. The next day, my muscles and feeble voice harmonized in a cry for mercy. I felt muscles ache that I had forgotten that I had. As I mentioned before, I recommend a little extra stretching. I also suggest using the "modified" (easier) moves the first day, even if you are fairly fit, just to see "where" you are.
Ultimately, this is probably a great addition to a greater exercise plan. For now however, it is all I can handle!
...Don't let the pain or discomfort of the first few days discourage you!
(Written on my day 4)
