Is there a lot of jumping around?

I just picked this one up too and really liked it as well. Would also recommend it. Have only tried workout 3 so far, but it was fast paced and fun.

Not a lot of jumping, but a lot of kicking!

I preordered awhile ago n got it in the mail when it came out. The only wrkout I've done from that dvd is 3. Man that was killer when I did it but it was gr8. As soon as I'm done with Body Rev nxt mnth I'll be doin Kickbox fastfix for 3 wks. Then I'll go back to Body Rev and actually eat my daily cal intake that is recommended with the program

Like the name implies, it's "fast" more than anything else~ VERY fast! Not a lot of jumping but getting into position for the kicks takes me some time so I do end up missing some~ oh well.

And each 20 minute workout targets an area: Upper body, Lower body & Abs. I did Upper yesterday.

Can we do this with Body revolution ? Do you guys do it on the rest day , cardio day ? thanks

This is probably my fav JM Dvd! I love that you can do 1 if you are pressed for time, or all 3 if your not. I burn a ton of c alories too!

I wouldn't do it on a rest day-- you really need rest! Last week I did workouts 2 and 3 instead of cardio 2. I've also been adding a workout from this dvd after I do a body rev workout for some extra calorie burn! I highly recommend it!

I do it in the evenings as my "bonus" cardio

If it's good enough for a lady who lost 119 pounds, it's good enough for me!! Sincerest congrats to you!!

I almost always do something else along with JM BR every day~ whether it's a Yoga class or Pilates and sometimes a dancy-aerobic type class called Swing~ at the gym.
I will definitely do the Kickbox on BR Cardio days and whenever I have 20 extra minutes to spare......

I think I'll have to buy this DVD then ) BEcause I love Jillian and all her workouts rock !!

After reading good reviews on this workout, I actually went to her website and purchased mp4 version and downloaded on my computer !!! yayyyy Gonna start probably on Monday, because tomorrow is much appreciated rest day ))

I ran out to Target to run some errands and found it there (for only $12.99). I cme home and tried it this afternoon and LOVED it! I knew I would because in addition to Jillian Michaels, I'm a longtime fan of Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire. Some of the combinations can be a bit complicated at first, but once you get them you're good. I did workout 1 and 2 back-to-back and it was good. Definitely easier than Body Revolution. Because of that, I can easily add 1, 2 or 3 workouts whenever I can. I highly recommend!

I bought from JM website for 12.99 as well- nice to hear that I didn't overpaid :glasses: :glasses:

Hi all

I am very tempted to buy or download the workout. I am just wondering if it is ok to use with BR? Is it mainly cardio or also weights? I just want to make sure I give my muscles the rest that is built in with the program. Would love to try it though if it is mainly cardio.

Would be great if someone could help!

Thank you!
Daisy

Only the first workout out of the three uses weights. I have substituted cardio 2 with workouts 2 and 3 from fastfix. It is so much fun!

I substitute cardio 1 with fastfix as well. You're right it's fun, but it took me some time to get used to the moves. I am pretty sure i don't have the perfect form, but I figured as long as i'm moving (punching, kicking even with a wrong form) I'm burning calories )) :laugh:

There's some light weight moves in both workout 1 and 2 (I think...or it's all in workout 1, I can't seem to remember). It's more cardio than anything, even with the weights (think uppercuts in a half squat with light weights). I LOVE it! I bought the DVD yesterday and have already done it twice (I did workout 1 and 2 on both days) as extra cardio....I'm a fan!

My problem was like this: I had the link, it will open some program in new window right ?then you click download, and mine will not download at all. Then it will come back with something like directory could not be found. then i changed to save to desktop in the same window on top, clicked download again and it worked. Hope i helped.

I did Workout 1 yesterday. I did the instructional portion to make sure I was on the same page as Jillian. HOWEVER, it would sure have been nice for her to do an exercise at least once at slow speed so you know what you are doing! Sure, I can do them individually, but when you turn it into a jab, cross, swing kick, back kick, uppercut combination, you've lost me. I'm sure it will take time, and it really was fun.

What's up with that girl on the right? She looks like she wants to hurt somebody.

Daisy80

I haven't started it yet but I have done Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire before and it always took me a little while to master the routines. I do think it is a good think though as I believe as long as I am kicking and punching it doesn't matter if I am perfectly coordinated and also it keeps the DVD interesting for longer as you have the motivation to master the moves. I might try the tutorial later

gerbies

Daisy, I am totally with you. In my opinion, some of her combinations are more challenging to get down. For example, I'm used to the punching combo of: Jab, cross, hook, uppercut. Chalene uses this alot in the Turbo Jam/Turbo Fire series. Jillian has one where the four are in a different order and it was VERY hard for me to get it. I think not knowing and struggling actually burns more calories than already anticipating...or I tell myself that just to make me feel better....lol.
