Jillian Michaels Workout DVDs

Jillian Michaels Hard Body
Jillian's newest workout DVD, Hard Body, will be released March 5, 2013, but it's available now for pre-order. There are two 45 minute fat blasting routines in her new dvd. I've pre-ordered this one and will update with all the stats once I start this workout.

My review--Ok, I'm back--this latest dvd from Jillian is one that if you're familiar with any of her previous workouts you'll be fine. Essentially, she takes many of her previous moves and combines them into super sets. For me, it wasn't near as hard as the body revolution (below), but it's a good workout. She does include those the suicides, which is my least favorite thing to do, so that's the only downside for me. I love the way she takes three different exercises and works them together to really work a particular muscle group. Definitely can feel it working. The second routine is much harder than the first of course, and I like it much better than the first 45 minute routine. I do like that the workouts are 45 minutes. Much better burn. I've only done this twice, so I'll be back with more stats, but the average calorie burn for me was around 300 calories per workout.

Jillian Michaels Body Revolution


Jillian's Body Revolution: This workout set from Jillian was amazing. Amazing and hard, but totally worth every penny. I ordered it when it was only available through the tv commercials; my daughter and I did the complete cycle twice last year when it first came out and while the first couple of weeks weren't too bad, the last couple of weeks of this workout program kicked our butts. We were toned in places I didn't realize could be toned.

There are 15 workout dvds, a 90 day journal, free 30 day membership to Jillian's online community, a meal plan, a fitness guide with great tips and a seven day quick start. The seven day quick start is for those looking to lose weight quickly. It's 30 minutes a day for 90 days---and when you're finished? You'll feel like you can conquer any workout schedule. Lots of people in the workouts with Jillian (usually she only has three people)--this time there's a big group of both men and women. Check out the preview of Body Revolution below.

Jillian Michaels: 30 Day Shred is my favorite dvd and in my opinion, her best one. I use all of Jillian's workout dvds, but always come back to this one because it works the fastest in getting toned up quickly. It's fast, effective and challenging. You will be shredded if you commit to this workout for 30 days and if you keep it up, you'll be shocked at the changes in your body. If you haven't done any of Jillian's workout dvds, this is the one to start with.

There are three levels of exercise with this workout. Each level, which increases in intensity, consists of twenty minutes of strength training, cardio and abdominal work.

How many calories does the 30 day Shred burn? For me, somewhere between 220 and 240 calories a circuit, depending on the my own intensity. Level one, however, I only hit about 190. (I use the bodybugg for my calorie reporting) Body Bugg

I use this workout from Jillian the most, because of the 3-2-1 system she incorporates. The 3-2-1 system works for me. (three minutes of strength, two minutes of cardio, one minute of abs)

Jillian Michaels: No More Trouble Zones (DVD)
Get ready to tone things up with this workout dvd.

How many calories does No More Trouble Zones burn? I can hit a 350-400 calorie burn with this dvd easily. Again, depends on your own intesity in doing the exercises and weights that you are using, but it's not hard to burn alot with this workout.

Yoga with Jillian--two complete thirty minute workouts plus cool down.

How many calories does Yoga Meltdown burn? Not alot compared to her other workout dvds (this is my experience). This is more about toning, centering and strengthening the core. It's a low calorie burn. Around 150 or so per workout.

Jillian Michaels - Cardio Kick Box is my second favorite workout dvd she has out at the moment. Update: this is now pushed down the list a bit. As far as progress, the second now is the body revolution. Tones like no other. My favorite is still and always will be 30 day shred, though. This one brings a level of fun that's much needed after either of those two dvd's above! If you're ready for a good workout plus some nice change with a little fun thrown in, check out this dvd below:

"Cardio Kickbox" is a high-energy aerobic workout designed to keep you moving and boost your fat-burning capabilities while at the same time giving your muscles a day off from weight-training.

Excellent calorie burner. I'll post the exact amount the next time I do this workout.

How many calories does Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism burn? A lot. This Jillian Michaels dvd burns the most calories for me--somewhere between 500 and 600 calories a workout. It's hard, challenging but it works great.
