The Setup:
The DVD comes with 3 Exercise Levels (I'm currently on Level 2). Each 20 minute Level has 3 circuits each of which consist of 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio, and 1 minute abs. You will need hand weights (I'd recommend 2-3 pounds) and I use a jump rope for the air jump ropes. Jillian has 2 assistants working out with her--one doing beginner moves and the other doing the advanced techniques.
What I Really Like About the DVD/Workout:
- 20 minutes! Very manageable with my schedule
- 20 FULL minutes--I am moving the entire time, sweating, panting, screaming, etc...
- the increased levels of difficulty
- the toning results & how fast they show! In particular arms, abs, & legs.
- every body part is worked on by the end of the workout
Jillian is no joke so let me put that out there! Level 2 is pretty brutal, but each day I "punk out" less than the day before. Troy also "motivates" me by saying "Don't quit!!" "go lower!!" "don't do those girl push ups!" (LOL!) from time to time! Here's a compilation clip courtesy of youtube for your reviewing pleasure! :-)
If you purchase the DVD please let me know your thoughts and how you progress! This really is great for a pre or post-work workout for us busy women who have demanding jobs/activities, husbands to feed, or children to tend to, etc...
Kicking & Screaming...& Exercising along the way,
