biggest loser workouts

Options
I just bought some exercise DVDs and I got "Biggest Loser: Cardio Max" and "Jillian Michaels No more trouble zones"... has anybody tried these ones?? I have heard a lot about the 30-day shred but I wanted one more focused on cardio and one more focused on strength training so that's why I decided on these instead. Was that a mistake?? Should I run back to the store and buy the 30-day shred instead??

    I like the Cardio Max! It's pretty good. I also have the Biggest Loser Last Chance Workout with Jillian Michaels and that one's my favorite. It has lots of interval weight training and cardio. You are doing jumping jacks, planks, push ups, upper and lower body weight training in between a cardio session. I haven't tried the 30 Day Shred or the No More Trouble Zones, so I can't tell you if one is better than the other. It's good to have a variety, so your body doesn't get used to the same exercise. I like to mix it up.

    If you decide to keep those, do let us know how it goes for you and if you would recommend them. I love Jillian Michaels and have been thinking about getting (and following) some of her DVDs on my "off days" from the gym. I'm thinking of getting the newer "Shred It" and "Yoga Meltdown". . .and I'm dying to get my hands on the "6 Week Six-Pack" DVD that comes out in November.

    I've only done the 30 day shred out of those! I think that when you can grab that one also so you have variety. The nice thing about 30ds is the entire workout (warmup, workout, and cooldown) is under 30 minutes. It's really intense- no breaks, and moves from one thing to the next, but if you know you are short on time any particular day this one is GREAT!
