» Cardio DVDs | | | | | | | Description: | | Jillian Michaels, the trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser and self-proclaimed "TV's toughest fitness guru," runs through circuit training like a drill sergeant on caffeine. Her theory is to keep moving in between exercises to burn twice as many calories, so she cycles her team through sumo squats, mountain climbers, jump ropes, shoulder raises and bicycle moves without taking a breath. If she doesn't think one of her comrades is picking up his knees high enough, she makes everyone do 30 more, with a sadistic grin. As a result, you can almost literally watch the muscle burn. Michaels' Shape-Up Front DVD works out the chest, shoulders, triceps and quads. It also requires two props: a bench-style exercise step and light dumbbells. The DVD features include printable diet/exercise logs, nutrition tips and recipes. Despite a lower-level option, it isn't for anyone looking for a low-impact aerobic workout. --Ellen A.

Great Workout but too much DVD introJul 03, 2008
I work out 5 days a week and these videos still manage to get my heart rate up and make me sweat. They combine a lot of exercises most people don't do together, (for example; lunges with bicep curl or jumping jacks with shoulder press). It's an awesome workout and I think good for beginners or advanced individuals. I don't like the fact it takes a good 10 minutes to get through the intro music and all that stuff but it's normal for any workout dvd. I don't care who the instructors class is or anything she has to say. I want to stick the video in and get to work instead of waiting around for her to say her piece. That is the only thing I hate about the videos. You definately need a step if you don't have one because she uses the step in all but one dvd. Just a heads up for anyone looking to purchase these. I'm glad there is no instruction to each exercise because you usually watch the video once anyways to see what it is all about and if you had to deal with that each time it would be aggravating. So I like that she didn't put that into her video. That is just my opinion, i just want to work out, who cares about who her workout crew is and all that other b.s. she talks about. Definitely worth the purchase. Heather
 Excellent cardio workoutJun 29, 2008
This workout def. gets your heart pumpin' and your body sweatin'!!! I bought this dvd because I recently purchased Jillians 30 day shred and really liked it. I wanted a cardio workout that was around 30 min. so I could do if after my weight-training workouts...and I was pleasantly surprised by how effective this workout is! After I finished the workout I looked down at my shirt and it was soaked with sweat on the front (I can run 2 1/2 miles after a weight-training workout and not even sweat like that)!!!! I would recommend this workout to anyone who enjoys cardio or who is looking for a GREAT cardio workout!!
Fast and Effective...Jun 08, 2008
Not alot of choreography goes into these workouts, but they are heart pumping, get off your duff and make you sweat workouts. If you watch the biggest loser, you will know how hard these workouts will be. If not, they are 30 minutes of go go go right out of the gate.
VERY VERY GOOD EXERCISEJun 04, 2008
This package of dvds has exelent exercises, I lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks. Of course I'm doing the exercise 4 to 5 days a week and eating with less carbs.
At the same time, I am doing the 30 day sherd by jillian Michels that is also an execelent dvd.
I recommend it 100% if you are willing to loose weigth and change your life.
Jillian Rocks! Jun 02, 2008
Jillian knows what she is talking about! I saw major differences and improvements in my muscle tone and how I felt by doing this program for only 2 weeks (Thats each video twice). It is kind of hard to keep up at first but I promise its worth the effort to get to her pace.
