Jillian Michaels, TV's toughest fitness guru, delivers a high-energy workout designed to keep viewers on track with their fitness and weight loss goals! Each of these high intensity DVDs will help get viewers moving, accelerate their fat-burning potential, and tone muscles through a series of creative cardio and weight training sessions. Her self-affirming blueprint for weight loss breathes life into her viewers' workout regimen through genuine, supportive guidance backed by her impressive credentials. Jillian Michaels holds personal training certificates from the renowned National Endurance and Strength Training Association (NESTA) and the American Fitness Association of America (AFAA) certification program. Additionally, Ms. Michaels has extensive experience in the martial arts practice of Muay Thai and Akarui-Do, in which she holds a black belt. Ms. Michaels was recognized by The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) for her accomplishments in both Advanced Exercise Nutrition and Supplementation for Training and Performance.
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. Kim

Intense workouts even for athletes:
I've owned these videos for about 3 months and I use them twice a week. First my health background. I've been physically active since high school (33 years old now) with baseball/basketball/martial arts and have always been lean. Three times a week, I hit the gym with medium weights and treadmill/elliptical so my heart rate is usually between 60-70 at rest. While I'm not a total fitness buff, I'm pretty healthy. Anyways, I still sweat and feel these workouts the next day. For those that say that... more info
Wow!! What a workout!!:
This workout is amazing. I have been using this to workout for about a week now and I can really feel and see the difference already. It is not for the faint at heart. It will get you breathing heavy and wanting to stop, but if you stay at it, you will definitely get great results.
GREAT!!!!:
These dvd's are wonderful. They will work you out and you will see results. I've seen a huge difference quickly in my stamina and muscle tone. Had been doing another system for months and had stopped seeing results but am seeing them again after doing this for a few short weeks. Good luck.
Great workout video- I saw results!:
This workout DVD gave me results. I really love Jillian's 30 minute shred and saw results so I ordered this set to mix up my workout. This one is a little tougher for beginners. I am in pretty good shape and have worked out my whole life. I recently went back to work full time so this DVD fit into my new workout schedule. I don't have the time to visit the gym for the 1 hr. workout classes so I break this into 2 days- about 30 minutes per day to keep me in shape.
