I love it. Well...let me rephrase it. It's killer when i am doing it, but i love that i am FINALLY seeing results. I have done it all. Heavy weights/low reps, low weights high reps, nothing had made anything budge in like 5 years (i'm 45 now) I just finished the 12 weeks and started again and I am on week 2. It's…

i have this and love it for shorter workouts. Like adding 10-15 minutes on to the end of weight training. or using it for intervals. I figured since i have workout for years this would be a breeze. I have barely made it past the 15 minutes mark on this.…

I have the Get Addicted boxing bag set (Amazon, $90ish for 6 dvd's) She uses the entire bag, and it's fun. It's investment i know, but they are specifically made for heavy bag use. But I also use my Illaria Powerstrike 5 and 6 on the heavy bag. And Susan Chung Rapid Fire 4. I also use Aerobox. 5. Hope that helps!

Just got mine over the weekend and am starting tomorrow. I did 2 pump workouts last week that were inline, and I LOVED them. Going to do Pump 3 days and Combat 3 days.

I love Illaria Powerstrike 5 and 6 and Susan Chung Rapid Fire 4 for the heavy bag. You have to do minimal modifications. I also love the ADDICTION set which is a 6 dvd set made just for the heavy bag. Hope that helps!!

I'm actually doing both right now. I am in week 6 of Brazil Butt lift. And I have added Turbo fire dvd's on with it. If you are at your goal weight. and just want to tone up some, then go Brazil Butt lift alone. If you have some more weight to lose and want to tone, I would recommend Mixing them if you can. I did Turbo…

Did any of you gain inches before you lost? I started on the 15th. I have done 2 weeks, today is my rest day. I am following the Slim and shape schedule. I add in extra cardio as well on days there is none on the schedule because I need at least 30-45 minutes a day of cardio to not GAIN weight. Last Monday at the end of…

FYI...at the beginning screen in the settings, if you choose the music louder option. it drowns her out. It's VERY helpful. I did JNL for about 6 months and gor my body out of a 2 year plateau, and my body started to change. But I wouldn't have lasted more than a week if i had to listen to her. I love her enthusiasm, but…

My mom has been having them for YEARS and so has my sister. My mom especially would be up all night. I came across this fan on another message board 2 years ago. People raved about it and called it a lifesaver. I bought one for mom my 2 years ago, and she said it was the best gift ever. She said it was the first time is…

That is SO funny! that is EXACTLY what I say. I tried running for a year. Hated EVERY minute of it. Everyone kept saying "Don't you hit that high and that zone?" NO!!! I get that when I got shoe shopping!! But it's funny-after an hour of boxing I feel very..Zen or something. Just very calm! Told my husband the other day…

I am not sure if you are using a heavy bag or not. If you are, I HIGHLY recommend the Addicition workout. It's 5 dvd's to use with the bag. It has diminished my muffin top! It's $100 for the set, but worth every penny. It's on Amazon and on the addictionbody website. If you are just looking for regular boxing without the…

I think that is mine too. A lot of Plyo. Some days i sub in different cardio in the 30 cedon segments. Especially when she does the 2 rounds of plyo squats...which look exactly the same to me... back to back. Snatch and grabs are my least fave of all the cardio moves.

Here is the link to her Youtube video where she shows a ton of different cardio moves to sub in for the 30 second cardio segments. For those that aren't up for the plyo moves, this proveids a lot of other options. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kvQr1rKOuI

And ps...for me...I still have soreness after certain dvd's. I am always sore after Bicep builder form all the push ups. And fusion lower body. my legs are always sore too.

Glad to hear you are all liking it. I've had awesome results since i started at the beginning of the year. I can't tell you numbers because I had to quit weighing a few years ago since I was doing it daily and it made me (and my husband) crazy. I started at a comfy size 12 and I am now in a snug size 8 and I was not a size…

I think I dread this work out the most. I HATE the pushups! Even after all these months, I am still sore the next day from the push ups. The only upside is, since I track everything, the number I can do before dropping to my knees, has increased so much since I started. SO that's a plus. Whenever I dread doing a move, I…

Thats funny you said that. The person that wrote the Amazon review I had read before purchasing this, sent it back for that reason. I just happened to come across the music louder option on someone else's post. So I always throw it out there to people. It was REALLY helpful for me because I know I would have quit doing the…

It happens! it's called LIFE! For me...i was neurotic because NOTHING worked. I have been struggling for 30ish pounds for YEARS. I was over 300 at one time, sot 30 is not bad. But I worked out HARDCORE and was so anal about my food...and everyone just shook their heads as to why i was still carrying extra weight. I got up…

I am SO dance challenged! I was pretty sure I looked like someone on the Beyonce dance crew with "my moves." Then I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror...I looked much more like a " chicken flailing around in a bucket of water" than a "beyonce dance crew member!" For the first few weeks-I could get either the top…

I follow more of a Weight Watchers based kind of diet. Kind of forces me to eat lot of fruit and veggies. Plus I HATE to cook, so my daily meals looks pretty much the same. It seems to be the one that works best for me. I did P90x a few years back, and followed that eating plan exactly for 4 months and it did nothing for…

I have a lot of fun with it. I got it too because of the cheap price. I think for the $25ish price, it's a good deal. can't see paying anymore for it. I've been doing kickboxing as cardio for a long time and was so bored. For me, HHA was way less intense than I am used to, and I knew that it was not going to do much for me…

I LOVE this workout. I have been doing this since the brginning of the year, and my body has changed SO much. I am amazed. I have struggled my WHOLE life and tried every workout and nothing really worked. I can't believe the change in my stomach. The cellulite is almost totally gone on the back of my legs...and my booty,…

You look AWESOME!!!!

Best workout I have ever done. I got it for Christmas, and have been on a plateau for about 2+ years. I have tried running, did P90x, did everything you can imagine and was up to about 2 hours a day working out. And nothing worked. I caught the infomercial and my husband got it for me for Christmas. I saved every scrap of…

I know they change depending on the location, but mine in Nor Cal had a lot of climbing and pulling yourself over stuff. It's not hardcore, so you will see plenty of people walking, walk/jogging and then running. But if I had to do it all over again, I would def work on my upper body strength more for climbing the walls…

here's one! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/2883-jillian-michaels-body-revolution

I haven't done Insanity (But I do a lot of interval and cardio training.) I just got 6 week 6 pack last week and really like it. But I would definitely not use this as a replacement for cardio. I will tack it on to the end of a cardio workout. My heartrate barely got up. And I didn't remotely break a sweat.

I'm pretty sure she is talking about the new Hard Body DVD. Her review pretty much echos every other review I have read about it-from Amazon to other fitness sites. Shaky weird camera, a DJ (?) and just an odd workout.

If you have done basic workouts...there is nothing she is doing on the screen that you probably haven't done or seen before. I actually got one of those $5 Target behind the door mirrors, that I prop up on a side table against the wall when i am working out and have the mirror straight ahead of me at like 12 o'clock, then…

FYI-People either really like her or are totally annoyed by her. I love her energy, but by the end of the first week, I knew she was going to get on my nerves. Luckily I read on another thread, that on the main screen, before you push play, go into i think it's settings or menu-whatever it is on the screen that is above…
