Jillian Michael's

Now i know everyone has heard of her and some may think she is annoying, however i don't think she is.

So, she has a ton of exercise videos out there for people to use.
Out of all of them which ones have done the most for you? (Weight,Inches)
I am trying to find the right one for me and haven't yet.
So any suggestions at all would help!!! If so what are the reasons you like certain ones more than others.
(:

    I love Jillian DVD's!

    I think they're all great. The one I found the most success with was the 90 day Body Revolution. They're quick workouts that get progressively harder every 2 weeks, and I found it easy to stick with for the 90 days. I lost about 10 pounds and definitely got more defined and toned from it.
    But that is a pretty expensive set. Of the cheaper ones, I really like No More Trouble Zones for toning, match it with the Kickbox DVD for some cardio. They're both great workouts.

    I love Jillian Michael's DVDs, my favorites are Extreme Shed and Shred and Banish Fat/Boost Metabolism. I just got her new one, Hard Body from the library yesterday, I watched level 1 last night and wasn't too impressed, but I'll give it a try on my Turbo Fire rest day tomorrow.

    My favorites are No More Trouble Zones and Killer Buns and Thighs. These are pretty much strength workouts but my heart is pumping. I supplement with other cardio (spinning, running). However, I do love Ripped in 30 and 30DS for a quick and dirty workout with toning and cardio when I am short on time. I see toning results quickly (within 1 week of 3x) with NMTZ. Now if only I could be consistent for a whole month!

    I've heard a lot of people say they like No More Trouble Zones. Is it another shorter workout like the 30DS?

    I love the 90 day challenge and just started back with it yesterday. Check your local library, they may have some of her DVDs that you can try. Also check ebay, I got mine significantly less than buying it online. Good luck!

    I love her. I alternate between No More Trouble Zones, Killer Buns and Thighs and Burn Fat Boost Metabolism. I also run 1-2x's a week. I have gotten great results.

    A few of them are available on You Tube (30ds is, for example), so might be worth having a look/try to see which one you get on best with.
  • I have recently started listening to her podcasts and am really enjoying them. They are available for free download on iTunes.

    30DS was the thing that started me on the road to exercise and weight loss, I do recommend it.

    I like her Killer buns & thighs and no more trouble zones

    if you like cardio, try banish fat boost metabolism

    I don't use her workout videos but I do listen to her podcast. I think The Biggest Loser misrepresents her attitude. She's quite compassionate but she does delve into people's issues in order to find out why they're the way they are.

    These don't necessarily have to be Jillian Michael's workouts, i just like the 27 minutes workout for her 30 day shred. I just get bored normally if it over like 35 minutes is all and It fits into my day well and then i still have enough energy to run a few miles afterwards. If there are other good workout ideas for a reasonable price that's good to.

    I like the yoga meltdown. I've definitely gotten toning and loss out of these workouts - about 35 minutes with warm up and cool down. It's a little less cardio than 30 ds but I think you're heart rate is up in a fat burning level longer.
  • I am finishing up week 3 of 6 week 6 pack and I really like it. It's 35 minutes with warm-up/cool down, and I usually get really bored of the same DVD but I enjoy this one.(Bonus--it's on YouTube) I haven't taken new measurements yet, but I can tell a difference in my abs for sure. I don't expect a 6 pack after all of this but will take a couple inches lost!

    Kind of what i am looking for. My biggest problem areas are my stomach and my upper arms. Not really problem zones but the places i wish to improve most. I know i can't spot reduce.

    No More Trouble Zones and Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism are definitely good ones. If you are looking for a shorter one, the 30 Day Shred is good but I think I like her Ripped in 30 better. She is a tad bit more annoying on that but there are 4 different workouts on there so you shouldn't get bored.

    It's considered Circuit Training, so you can use that category, though you may want to consider getting a heart rate monitor. It not only gives you a more accurate calorie count, but it allows you to know how hard you're working by making sure you stay within your target heart rate while working out.

    I've also noticed my shoulders and arms are stronger in just a few weeks...lots of different plank positions.
