 Mixed reviewJun 09, 2008
These are two good workouts for days when you don't have too much time. Trouble is the instructor.. She is projects way too much and doesn't seem to realize that her style is not appropriate for the DVD format. The joke that is funny the first time is not funny after that. I bet if she had to pop this DVD in and try and workout to it every day for a week she would be ready to gag before the end of the week. Instructors need to keep it simple and not get funny or cute during the workout. Also save the special instructions for the introduction when it will be viewed once for informational purposes but won't need to be heard every time the video is played ad nauseam.

Jeanette Jenkins is awesome. She makes it easy to follow along.
The first day I did circuit A I thought it was too easy, until the next day. I was sore. She actully sweats. This gives it a "human" or "real" aspect to the workouts.
I would buy other products she produces.

 Prefer her original Hollywood Trainer workoutsFeb 15, 2008
I bought Jeanette's new book which came with a DVD that includes this set of workouts plus the core and stretch workouts. I was disappointed. Her original Hollywood Trainer workouts also alternate cardio and weight work. I tried the first circuit workout on the DVD and felt that there were too few reps and actually very little cardio, so the breaks between weight sets seemed wasted.
If you do both circuits, you do get a full-body workout, but you're better off doing just ONE of her original workouts. In those, you'll get an at-least-intermediate-level weight workout plus cardio blasts in between all in under an hour.
If you want a good intermediate to high intermediate workout, check out her original Hollywood Trainer Cardiosculpt or Kickbox workouts. My go-to Jeanette workout is her Ultimate Cross-Train (all but yoga) plus [...] and Thigh Blast. GREAT for upper and lower body!

excellent dvdFeb 09, 2008
Many reviews here don't state that the book comes with the dvd in back.
The dvd contains and gives you options:
1)Play entire workout
2)core workout, (their is a seperate dvd being sold by itself, it is on this dvd, so save yourself some money).
3) circuit A
4) circuit B
5) stretch it out (again, there is a separate dvd being sold by itself and is on this dvd as well, so again save yourself some money.
All in all for your money plus the book has the exercises in it, so if you travel, take it with you with some bands or weights. has everything broken down for you, right to the recipes/menu you are to eat on a daily basis. the book is really thick, and of all the books I have bought this one has it all. Inspiration, education, daily menus, receipes, pics of before and after of people and on and on. Tells you the whys and don'ts. I could go on forever.
I truly don't feel anyone would be disappointed in the book and dvd.
It also, gives you a schedule on what days to do the workouts and a day of rest.
It's worth every penny, you can't find a dvd and a book together at this price.
I was able to honestly lose 26 pounds in 21 days, I also did walk 2 miles per day everyday. I didn't follow the menu to the core, I made
some modifications, when I didn't have on hand the foods presented.
I've never seen or completed exercises the way she presents them. I honestly look forward to doing them, and that is something for me. I hate exercise. I did also, just purchase the pilates and yoga dvds, so will give an update once I have tried them each after about two weeks. I don't like reviewing, until I've tried something for a couple of weeks.
She does lose count sometimes, but she states this, so stay concentrated.
Hope this review helps anyone who is looking for an excellent fantasitc workout, with quality and value for their money.

Great Total Body WorkoutFeb 08, 2008
I purchased this DVD because it was recommended in the Top 10 new fitness video section of my Fitness magazine. I'm very glad that I did. I like to work out every day, and this is a perfect fit for my less strenuous day. Jeanette is so fun to work out "with" because of her bubbly personality. She's right that it is a no-nonsense workout that is not too complicated and so anyone can do it. Her losing count on the different exercises is funny ~ I just adapt my count to what I want to actually do. I'd definitely recommend the DVD. I do it twice a week.
