    I did two weeks of Insanity before injuring my ankles from the high impact exercises. Shaun T. makes Jillian Michaels look like the lady who used to do the chair aerobics program on PBS when I was a kid. I started the Ripped in 30 workout today and while I feel tired from having not worked out in a month and a half, I have a feeling I will get bored of this pretty quick.

    Part of what make these DVDs successful is the subliminal messaging provided within the soundtrack. You are doing yourself a disservice my muting the sound.

    Why would I want subliminal messages from a DVD? When I am lifting at the gym, I dont need the 'messages', so I dont need them during DVDs noise either.

    Haha, I've done this on a lot of workout video's. Most all of them tend to annoy me in some way or another.

    The messages are crucial. Whereas Jillian is a reptilian extraterrestrial, the messages are designed to help humans attain a higher plane of existence -- one step in her plan.

    Love her workouts! They are fast and effective! Had great results with 30DS and am having great results with Ripped In 30! I especially love her when she is muted and I have my surround sound on with some good music!

    I have the 30 Day Shred, Banish Fat/Boost Metabolism, and No More Trouble Zones. They are all great! The Banish Fat is more cardio, and the Trouble Zones is more weights. I like to alternate the two. Maybe that's just an older DVD of her's and that's why it's kind of boring?

    She definitley is a bore. I just started her Six Week 6 Pack! But as long as I'm passed out in a puddle of my own sweat at the end of the DVD, I think the boredom is well worth it *shrug*

    I don't like Jillian. My favorites are Cathe Friedrich, Jeanette Jenkins, Michelled Dozois, and Turbofire. They're advanced workouts and much more fun.

    I workout with her daily and find her anything but boring! Crank up some of your favorite music-do the workout without instruction. I have 30 day shred/6 week 6 pack and No More Trouble Zones-and one my way to buy her Kick boxing DVD-love Jillian.

    try jillianmichaels.com/shred for online circuits free 30 day trail. This is how I got back into great shape!

    I have 30DS & RI30. I agree, the talking can get to be a bit much. I always have my own music on while I'm doing the workouts, that way I stay motivated.

    Love the body revolution because its something different every day. I did slim in six and HATED it. It was the same thing every day and when you moved up it was the same moves but maybe add a bicep curl. So with body revolution you do "fronts" one day and then "backs" the next and then cardio the next and repeat. then a day off.

    I think its rather sad if people get all arsey over saying Jillian is boring. Her workouts are excellent but her dvd layouts are gloomy and the music is non existent. Press mute and get yer I pod out.

    I own several of her dvd's and I don't like her workouts. I'm sure they are effective but I just don't like her style and always reach for another dvd. Billy Blanks and Taebo is my all time favorite. I just don't like Jillian's "I'm a bad mean b!tch and I'm gonna kick your *kitten*" style.
