As expected, Jillian delivers!!!
By Bookworm/Fitness Guru
I may be biased because I am a fan of Jillian since the 30 Day Shred came out and I have all of her DVDs, but I got to say, she does not disappoint on this one. I consider myself advanced and I felt the burn on Level 1. Like she said, if it is too easy, just add weights and problem solved. But even without weights, it burns.The only thing I noticed that was inconsistent is it says the workouts are 30 minutes long, but they are actually between 40-45 minutes long (Level 1 about 40min, Level 2 about 42min and Level 3 about 45min). I guess if you don’t count the warm-up and cool-down, then they are 30min of strict strength/cardio training.And for those people that get annoyed and actually pay attention to what she is saying, she complains a lot about people saying on Facebook and Twitter that her workouts are too easy and how that pisses her off and she mentions that a few times. Not a big deal, but I know people get annoyed about stuff like that.If you own her other DVDs, you will notice she incorporates a lot of the moves from 30Day Shred and Ripped in 30, especially on the Level 3 workout. That being said, it doesn’t feel like you are doing the same workout as in the other DVDs. I like that these workouts focus on the lower body because I am sure they burn a lot more calories.

Our Dedicated, Tough, “Artiste” Trainer Delivers Again (let the Jillian love continue)
By Dorje
Would there be any doubt that we would receive nothing but a tough workout from our beloved trainer? Yes, she still makes you want to reach through the TV and occasionally give her a smack down (with all the muscles she helped you form) but alas, you keep pouring it into your workout. I’m an athlete, 43 years old, mostly run trails and circuit train daily (with one rest day) so am in good shape but have room to improve (we all know staying fit is nothing but a ton of WORK – fun WORK.) I’ve been looking for something that focuses more on the backside and could barely wait all weekend for my Amazon package to arrive today. Even if you have not been an athlete or if you are trying this as a beginner, just take your time, honor yourself, and follow the beginner in the video. Just stick to it.This quick review is about workout 1 and 2 and I did them back-to-back tonight. I may update later w/workout 3 but I just wanted to write quickly to say that Jillian herself says she lies (!) about time – of course (and thankfully so) the workouts are a bit longer than she announces in the beginning. Lots of plank work, variety of lunges (curtsies), front/side/back kicks, some plyo work, working with the chair (step-up to back lunge), side planks with inner thigh lifts, old school mat work. In workout II I really loved the single-leg burpees back to plank and then back up to single leg and jump or the single leg squats with corkscrew overhead press with jump. I was sweating big time in Level I – I wouldn’t recommend anyone skip this one because it is a great challenge and of course, with Jillian, you can make it even more intense. All of this can be paired down to suit your level of ability. Overall, for first workout, I had 146 avg hr and burned almost 430 calories in 38 min for workout I. Workout 2 was 475 calories in 38 min. I’m 5’9 and b/t 135 and 140. Pretty awesome stuff. It was just about the same for me in workout II but I did peter out a bit at end after long work day and challenging workout so I tapered off in intensity so as not to lose form.There was an earlier comment that Jillian rags about naysayers on Twitter or whatever but it’s just a fleeting comment and it’s no big deal, it’s the truth. She takes hits for putting herself out there because people can be mean but this video is just rock solid. The back-up girls are awesome too – prime condition and no messing around. Nothing to gain attention or distract (minimal ego, which is so refreshing.) I’m a huge Inside/Out Bob Harper fan (love those cd’s – but some of the folks in the background can be distracting.) The music is familiar, some of the old school mat workout is familiar (think Jane Fonda even, or TA mat work) but it’s effective. Jillian calls herself an “artiste” in this one and I believe her – master trainer.I’d recommend listening to Jillian’s podcast. Check out the 3/11/11 post – first it talks about possible nutrition pitfalls of going vegan (I’m not vegan, but have huge respect) and then there is a section of the talk that refers to how she trains and how much time you have to put in. All about combo/hybrid lifts, utilizing all muscle groups all at once – it takes at least 20 mins to release hgh hormones. This is where she calls herself a “liar” about time (of course she says it’s shorter than it is) and I love her for that. I’m so excited to just give all of myself to this new dvd and see what happens. Give yourself a treat and get this one, add it to your arsenal (pun intended.)Update: Finished Workout 3. It’s tough but not as tough as 2 in my opinion. It seems to have more mat workout – warm-up was kind of slow compared to workout II. Overall, my avg hr was 143 and burned 385 calories. It just wasn’t as intense as I like but i still love it. I think if you’re up for challenge combo’ing a few of these like 1 and 3 or 2 and 3 (esp on weekends) would be rocking. You could easily do level III and tag on a run (if you’re already in good physical condition.) I have to say that I’m not sore at all (from any of these) but I still have room to grow/improve/challenge myself but I def feel the booty working and I’m dedicated. I hope everyone loves this workout too and sees the results you want! Take care!Now to enjoy the afterburn. Cheerio!

Jillian delivers, as usual.
By Heidi H.
Because I do not like gyms or their expense, I have always turned to workout dvd’s to get my sweat on. I am a runner, first & foremost, so I am always on the lookout for good at-home dvd’s that I use to cross train. I have used everything from Tae-Bo, to Tracy Anderson, to Biggest Loser, Winsor Pilates, heck, I even tried Jane Fonda! But NOTHING has ever come close to Jillian Michaels. I got into the best shape of my life using her No More Trouble Zones & Blast Fat, Boost Metabolism dvd’s after having my third child. I used NMTZ exclusively for cross-training while training for a half marathon last year & was running 7:45 minute miles. So when I heard that Jillian was coming out with a butt & thighs dvd, I pre-ordered it as soon as it became available. Because runner’s need strong legs & booties to really run at prime, this dvd was like an answer to prayer from the running gods.There are three levels: Level one, which is difficult, but doable. Level two looks bitchin’. I say it LOOKS bitchin’, because I haven’t done it yet, but I think that when I do get to that level, I will already have an a$$ of steal! Level three looks like it is insane, which is what the back of the dvd promises. At any rate, after doing level three, I anticipate being able to break a 7 minute mile, as my legs & butt will be a force with which to be reckoned.This definitely isn’t an all-around/full-body workout (if you’re looking for that, get No More Trouble Zones & Blast Fat, Boost Metabolism), but it IS a great workout, perfect for giving anyone the thighs & butts of his/her dreams.
