I saw the infomercial for Jillian Michael's Body Revolution yesterday. And I wanted to get feedback and reviews from the MFP community. About 2 years ago I was a dedicated Jillian follower. I did the 30 day shred religiously, and then moved into some of her other DVDs (in all I stuck with her for over a year). I saw great results. Currently the hubby and I are in our second time through of doing the P90X program. We only have a little over a month left and then we discussed doing on our workouts. When I saw the infomercial for the Body Revolution I was immediately intrigued. I really think I want to try this program after I complete P90x. I am also thinking about doing turbofire.

I guess I want to know you thoughts, opinions and experiences with Body Relolution and TurboFire? Which one would you suggest? What results did you get from either of these workout programs???? Help me out MFP community!!!!

    Hi there, I have done both. Huge Jillian fan here. I never had a lot to lose anyway weight wise but I started out with shred and ripped, then did turbofire and then body revolution afterwards. I loved turbofire, it was a good workout but I did not like the tone sections so much for some reason. Chalene is very motivating though. It is very cardio based and I found myself missing Jillian's workouts as I like the balance more. Turbo is very good for endurance though and I found myself finding the first part of BR pretty easy even with making it more challenging for myself. Probably didn't feel challenged until about workout 7 (there are 12 workouts and 3 cardio). I lost most of the weight I needed to with turbofire if that is what you need (weightloss) and I have sculpted the most with body revolution. So in all, I think they both had lots of benefits. I am going to go back to Jillian I think after finishing Insanity at the end of this week

    hiitrocks - thanks for your feedback. I am almost done with Body Revolution and have the opposite problem. I need to lose more fat - so I'm thinking of purchasing TurboFire for that. I loved that BR got me all toned and definitely increased my strength.

    I 100% agree with hiitrocks . I lost my extra pounds with TF and sculpted with BR. I love TF... It is my fun workout but Jillian knows how to give you guns:).

    I've never done Body Revolution. However, I have been doing Turbo Fire for about a week now, and I just thought I'd throw out there that I LOVE IT!!! My boyfriend makes fun of me sooooo much for it, and I just don't care.

    Insanity & Turbo Fire (along with being sick) are the reason I have been on the boards so much for the past couple days because everyone in my life is sick of hearing about them!
