 - Thanks Jillian!These workouts are hard and will give you your money's worth with great variety. It does require the step and weights listed and it's hard to get by without them, so I would recommend investing in a good quality step and a set of weights that suit you. It is true that these tapes are hard if you are out of shape, but I recommend sticking with it. When I started using Jillian's tapes I was 183lbs. I'm down to 155lbs after 3 months and I did that with the tapes and bettering my eating habits. Do what you can and work your way up. There was a time when I could do maybe half the steps the way she wanted me to, so I substituted other moves when I had to. Now I can do it all. It just takes time. If you are really out of shape I don't know because even when I started I had a good range of motion and was able to move around for a while. But the bottom line is you get what it tells you you'll get and it works if you stick with it. I'm still losing and more importantly my stamina is up and my body feels great. Thank you Jillian! Rating: - Great, quick workout!I'm 31 and in decent shape. I broke my foot five months ago and just haven't gone back to the gym but wanted to do something active. I bought Jillian's DVD set in hopes that I could gain some of my tone back. I am very surprised with the DVD's. I've bought exercise videos in the past and never get past a few days. Jillians workout is NOT for beginners. I use 3lb weights and after three weeks I'm moving up to 5lbs in some of the exercises. It's a 25 minute workout with warm-up. Test yourself and push yourself. You won't see the results if you don't put your all into it. I do one video a day before I go to work. After three weeks, I can a see a little change. I sweat more in a 25 minute period than I do using an eliptical at max heart rate for 60 minutes. I love these DVD's and recommend them to people that love to workout and can have the motivation to do one each day!!! Rating:  - The Biggest Winner DVDWow - this feels like Jillian is right in your living room pushing you the extra mile. I didn't realize I needed an exercise step for most of the DVD's. Otherwise this was a great buy! Rating: - awesome setJillian is Hardcore! I recommend the 30 Day Shred that includes three killer workout routines and it's only $10. If you are done with that, this set includes 5 DVDs, each contains only one workout so it could fit in a double DVD set but still they are all really good Rating: - Great WorkoutThese are great workouts from Jillian Michaels. I first saw her on Exercise TV doing her 30 Day Shred and tried that out. When I had a personal trainer we did a lot of interval training and I lost the most weight and toned/gained the most muscle. So, when I saw her workouts they reminded me so much of my time at the gym that I knew her products would work for me. The only drawback for me is that I wish it was a full 30 minutes of workout only (with added time for warm-up and cool down).
