Does anyone else find Jillian Annoying?

Ok so i just started the program and maybe it gets better. But I find that I have to mute the tv during the workout because Jillian's voice and "motivational cheering" annoys the heck out of me. Am I the only one?

  • I used to find her sometimes militant and frustrating when I did the 30 Day Shred, but for some reason I really like her so far in Body Revolution. Some of the things she does or says are a bit annoying, especially after the first few times you've done a workout, but overall I'm happy with her.

    Could totally see how she could annoy people though!

    Yep, I mute her about 95% of the time and play my own music in the background. It definitely helps.

    I love hearing her say "When you know your 'why', you can conquer any 'how'!" I need that motivation...my husband on the other hand can't stand hearing her voice, haha!

    I choose to love her. I really like her motivational talk, and the fact that she admits that certain things suck or feel nasty.
    But I do get a little tired of when she gets all "street" or just seems a little too overconfident. Nobody's perfect, I am sure it's not an easy job to continually find new motivating things to say.

    My kids always comment on her bad language (kick yourself inn the butt, feel like you are going to die) but I don't find her too annoying. The background music sucks and I wish I could mute that, have my own tunes and still hear when she says switch legs.

    I like Jillian. I too like her reminder of the "why and how". Part of the whole motivation board idea. I always said my goal to myself while I was doing the videos.
  • ummmm NO.

    i L.O.V.E. jillian

    I like some of her motivational words, like the why and how spiel....
    But when she goes around cooing and calling ppl precious I want to smack her.....lol
