Editorial Reviews

I am glad you decided to make this commitment to change. Here's what we are doing today. We'll be working on the front of your body - for example your chest shoulders triceps and quads. The reason we are working these muscles together is two fold...first of all these chest shoulders trcips muscles are push muscles. They have the same function. So it's good to work them out on the same day. The reason we're working our quadriceps in with our upper body is so that we're working our lower body and upper body - back to back. What this does is basically shunts your blood between your upper and lower body throughout the course of our workout - allowing you to burn twice as many calories. The key here is burning calories melting off the fat and losing weight. So we keep it aerobic the entire time. Never stop moving let's get started...."

4.0 out of 5 stars Thirty Minutes of Booty Kicking Hard Work, January 2, 2006

By

This review is from: The Biggest Winner: How to Win by Losing - The Complete Body Workout (Shape Up: Front / Shape Up: Back / Cardio Kickbox / Maximize: Full Frontal / Maximize: Back in Action) (DVD)

I am happy with my purchase. Each workout is roughly 30 minutes each. They are broken down into a warm up, two different routinues using upper and lower body together with cardio, and a cool down/stretch. The cardio is a lot of jumping (think jumping jacks, etc.) What I really like about the workouts is that they are time efficient. I feel like I got a workout in 30 minutes and she combines upper and lower boday together. Maybe I'm crazy but I am starting to see a difference after 7 workouts. If you liked Jillian on the Biggest Loser, you'll like her on the DVDs. Her personality is the same.

Why I gave the DVDs 4: There are no demos of the exercises, so if you are not familiar with the exercises in her book (Winning By Losing) you might want to watch the DVDs before you do them or to see what the modified version of the exercise is. I believe she mentions that in the intro as well. Also, there a lot of jumping. I read in another person's review that that can be bad for joint problems, so something to consider.

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase. I would recommend this to a friend and I will probably buy it as a gift for someone in the future.

This review is from: The Biggest Winner - How to Win by Losing - Shape Up Complete (2-Disc DVD Set - Front & Backside) (DVD)

I like many enjoyed the Biggest Loser show; that is why I bought these DVD's. I must say I am delighted with the results I am getting by doing these workouts, even though they push me to my limits. I can not see a beginner doing these, without modification you start where you are and work up to it. I am a workout animal but Jillian puts me to shame. This has been the only workout that has taken my fat percentage down.

I have never done a workout from Jillian Michaels before, and I have to say it: she totally kicked my butt! I've been bored with my workouts, and this is just what I needed. It's a short workout, but very intense. You don't stop for 30 minutes! In conjunction with a 30 minute cardio workout, you have the perfect routine. If you are a beginner, however, you might want to try Jillian's "Shape-Up" DVDs first.
