Review of Jillian Michaels body revolution

There is plenty of planks and it reminds me of some of her other DVD's for the most part. I give Revolution 4 stars, plenty of great workouts, but like her other exercise videos can be hard on the knees. Not a problem for me but for some with bad knees it can be a problem. As for the diet that comes with the set. Here is the thing I just don't see your everyday person eating half of what's in there. Some people just don't like certain veggies, fruits, and meats. So sure the diet might work for some but for others it might be a bit of a challenge. Also you got to figure in cost, how much more would you be spending to keep up with her diet, and buying food for the rest of your family as well. I have no doubt with her exercises and diet you will lose weight. Before you shell out the money on this program, I would wait and see more reviews coming in. I have it, but I would never follow the diet I just don't see the point of adding the extra cost to my grocery bill.

Yes you will need to shop for the foods and the ingredients needed. Some are normal everyday foods, others might be a little hard to find, depending on your grocery store. Now if you have a health foods store that has lot's of things. You should be able to pick up everything there for your diet. And yes it has the same feel as 30DS, Ripped in 30, 6wk-6pk, no more trouble zone and so forth.

I mean it has some new moves and workouts in it. But as far as Jillians classic style yes, it's similar to her others in some aspects.

Friend phatsoslim (you can tell her I sent you!). She is doing the program right now, and is blogging it as she goes. She has done lots of Jillian.

I want to do this one and can not find any reviws for the entire work out.. why is that??

i just ordered mine...should get it sometime this week

As noted, I believe this was released in late January/early February, so noone, except for her test group, has completed the program. I ordered last week and should have my set today (per FedEx). From what I've read of those who are actively doing the program, it's nicely structured (as noted by another poster),with 30-minute workouts, 6 days a week. The first week, if you want, is the "kickstart week" that recommends 2 workouts a day (total of an hour) and an even "cleaner" diet. She offers meal suggestions/meal plan, but you can always follow the same calorie limit and try to incorporate the foods she recommends and those you like. For those foods that you do not like, or you do not want to buy due to cost (e.g., organic, at Whole Foods, etc.), you can always use something as a replacement that's similar in nutritional composition (i.e., similar amounts of protein, carbohydrates, fat, sugar, etc.). Ultimately, if you eat "clean" (e.g., vegetables, fruits, steel cut oatmeal, greek yogurt, low sugar foods, etc.) at the calorie levels she recommends (or what MFP recommends) and you follow her workout schedule, you WILL get results.

I'm recovering from wrist surgery right now but cannot wait to try this when I'm better! Thanks for the reviews!

Week two, so far, so good. Love the exercises. I did the diet menu for the 7 day kickstar and loved it. I am a single mom of 2 and found no problem with it at all. Not even the price. A lot of veggies yes, but losing weight is a "lifestyle change" so why not "change" the way the whole family eats. My kids liked most of the stuf except the fish. Very doable, very ordinary foods, which I was shocked to discover. I give it 5 stars (so far), but it is still new so you wont find many reviews per se. Good luck on your journey.

I just started week 2 I think it's a great quick workout that challenges your muscles. It's not as challenging as her 30 day shred but it slowly builds up to a more challenging workout. I burn on average 260 calories.

Thanks for the comments! I just ordered it, I'll let all of you know how it goes

I'm on week 2 of Body Revolution - I did the Kick Start menu the first week and followed it exactly. I lost 3.5 pounds, so I'm very happy. The workouts really work you out, but I don't find them too hard (yet). I most likely won't follow her 90 day meal plan exactly. I work full time and do not have the time to make the current days meals, plus cook the meals that are for lunch the next day. While I followed the Kick Start menu the first week, I found I was in the kitchen every night for hours preparing the meals. this is too much with a job, family, etc.... This would work great for someone that doesn't work a full- time day job. But I will follow her excercise plan and plan to incorporate as many as the breakfast and dinner meals as possible. Also, I can't fit in a workout in the morning and the evening. I pretty much leave out her Cardio DVD - I count my power walk with my dog as my Cardio :-)
