Hi everyone :smile:

Just want to apologize right now to all the Jillian lovers but I cannot abide that woman, she is monotone and not motivating in the slightest, yes I have seen the results and still cannot hack her and her skinny smiling friends, 30DS, BFBM.... any of them they all drive me insane and slightly bored. So I have given up and lending her to a friend, see if she likes her haha! Thats my relationship with Jillian over. :drinker:

Okay so... lets say I love my ministry of sound dance DVD but its getting a bit boring due to doing it all the time last year. I have just bought Ministry Of Sound : The Ultimate Workout - Pump It Up, Burn It, Lose It. Was wondering if anyone has this DVD and could let me know what they think of it. I bought it because of the 'beatbox' section, dancey tai bo and boxercise... I think I am more likely to do it 3 times a week, maybe more. Going to use my other dance DVD till this one is delivered and when it is I will let you know if I can do it without wanting to punch someone HARD in the face.

I have total respect and admiration to the people who stick at Jillians DVDs but they aren't for me and would more likely have me quit my life changing journey in a heart beat. Silly woman haha! :laugh:

Anyone that has this DVD feel free to inform me of how it is, and how you find it! :flowerforyou:

    Another option would be to turn her voice off and blast some music instead of listening to her...which is what I usually do :laugh:

    I cannot look at her, she just agitates me. I understand why some people find her motivating but I just want to kick her in the head... if she didnt speak, id be fine but now I cant look at her without feeling a surge of anger hahaha and not even because her workouts are hard... just her... and her 'friends' blehhh!!! haha! :laugh:

    Lol! She is annoying and the repeated motivational phrases started to drive me mad but it's the first work out video I've really got into!!!

    Finally, someone who feels the same as me. I cannot stand her or her videos, which were given to me by someone else who couldn't stand her. I actually took the videos and tossed them in a smelly *kitten* outdoor garbage can, that's how much I can't stand her or her workouts. Half the *kitten* her and Bob do now they stole from P90X and Insanity anyway. They both bug the hell out of me. Like Shaun T says, "Your workouts are my warm up" and that's exactly how I felt about her crap.

    Same here. She bugs me to no end, but I do see results so march on ...

    Another reason I can't stand her is because she openly admitted to putting peoples lives into serious danger while filming The Biggest Loser. Second reason I can't stand her is because she talked so much *kitten* in the very beginning about never becoming a sell out and that you would never see her name on any type of detox or diet pill program and gee, look at her now. She's all hype and totally overrated. Her body is amazing and she rides a Ducati. Thats about all she's got going on as far as I'm concerned.

    Haha - I don't know why so many people hate her voice. It just sounds like a regular American voice to me, that lots of American celebrities on TV have. I do the 30 Day Shred - I watch the video, she tells me what to do, I do it, and it helps me with strength and fitness. I don't find all her motivational stuff motivating - the idea of buying jeans or buying a swimsuit doesn't scare me into wanting to work out harder, but I assume it does for lots of people, or she wouldn't say it!

    I feel the same way about Tony Horton (P90X)

    I can handle him in P90X but not in real life. He acts like Jim Carey and just totally immature for a 53 year old man. Plus he's gotten cocky as hell lately acting like a **** in interviews etc... in a way he's let celebrity go to his head, but I will give him credit at least for putting out exercise programs that work. He's definitely got that going in his favor.

    I can't stand her either, I don't have to like her in order for her programs to work. Once I got her routines mostly memorized I turned off the sound and put on my own music.

    To "phone it in" means to do something half assed or without serious effort.

    I like her, but do find her phrases somewhat overused. She gets results, so I can put my small annoyances to one side. To 'phone it in' is to do something half arsed e.g be a phoney.

    One thing I have always disagreed with and even Olympic coaches say, is that you should never push yourself until you throw up. I was always told that throwing up is essentially your body being pushed well over the limit and is a red flag that you should have stopped or slowed down, yet they seem to encourage this?

    I work at home, and I have an extra computer on my desk where I sometimes stream TV shows while I work. Lately I have been watching old seasons of The Biggest Loser. When Jillian goes crazy and starts screaming at people, my right eardrum spasms. True story. It's like there is a moth in my ear (there isn't) but apparently my body hates her voice.
