| DVD Description If you're envying the six-pack abs on Jillian Michaels, trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser and self-proclaimed "TV's toughest fitness guru," look no further than her Shape-Up Backside exercise DVD for an intense high-impact workout. Michaels keeps your body moving (though she herself skips out on half the exercises) with hammer curls, oblique raises, step ups, planks, and a move called The Superman destined to tone your back, biceps glutes, hamstrings and abs. There's a lower-level option, but Michaels likes to "kick your butt," as she says, to get you to feel the burn. Shape-Up Backside's DVD features include printable diet/exercise logs, nutrition tips and recipes. It requires two props: a bench-style exercise step and light dumbbells, which may make it difficult for beginners. But if you give it a try, even in the comfort of your living room you'll think you're in a gym -- trainer yelling in your ear and all. -- Ellen A. Kim |

AWESOME! I bought this a couple weeks ago and it is the best workout I have ever done. I'm already in pretty good shape and I'll say it's not the greatest for beginners. But WOW did I get a great workout. And on top of that I found it fun. The moves change a lot, so that's a plus (to me at least) because it keeps you focused on keeping moving and not "jeez is this over yet". I recomend watching it once before doing it. Jillian's attitude during the videos is so great. It feels like she's right there pushing you to keep going and not give up. If you love her on the show biggest loser you will love these dvds. Plus I have to add that since starting these a couple weeks ago I've lost 10 lbs and counting :)
Great workout I love this dvd set. The workouts are really intense in a short amount of time. So you're not slaving for an hour or more wondering when its going to end. Its doable for all levels and effective. I highly reccommend it!
Look for another cardio DVD I'll begin with the positive: this workout keeps your heart rate up and isn't too long for those individuals like myself that don't like to do cardio.
Negatives: too many! I was shocked at how poor the counting was in this workout. I would even start the exercise movement as soon as Jillian mentioned it and still be on #9 when they would count to #10. I consider myself an advanced exerciser and will often do my movements faster to fit in more of a workout. This is not the case with this DVD, the counting is completely unacceptable.
Next, Jillian herself forgets more than once what the next movement is. That is completely unprofessional and shows she did not put any thought into creating the video and did it clearly for the money.
Lastly, she flirts with/teases the guys and girls more than necessary that it leaves you standing there waiting for her to start the next exercise.
I think if you watched this DVD a few times you'd be able to do these exercises without the DVD and while watching TV instead. So if you happen to receive this free as a gift, it's an easy and efficient cardio workout. If you spent money on it and bought it - I'm very sorry you worked hard for your money and had to waste it on this DVD.
