Product 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 |

 Tough/Effective Workout |
| Review Date: January 1, 2006 |

| I like many enjoyed the Biggest Loser show; that is why I bought these DVD's. I must say I am delighted with the results I am getting by doing these workouts, even though they push me to my limits. I can not see a beginner doing these, without modification you start where you are and work up to it. I am a workout animal but Jillian puts me to shame. This has been the only workout that has taken my fat percentage down. |
Whipped into shape -- FAST!

| I have never done a workout from Jillian Michaels before, and I have to say it: she totally kicked my butt! I've been bored with my workouts, and this is just what I needed. It's a short workout, but very intense. You don't stop for 30 minutes! In conjunction with a 30 minute cardio workout, you have the perfect routine. If you are a beginner, however, you might want to try Jillian's "Shape-Up" DVDs first. |
A short workout that packs a punch and will whip you up in shape!

A short workout that packs a punch and will whip you up in shape!
If you like endurance weight training with short cardio bursts then you will enjoy these workouts! I have all 4 of Jillian's endurance strength training DVDS and they are very good especially when combined with 30-45 mins. cardio. The Maximize Full Frontal DVD is a little more intense than Jillian's Shape Up Front DVD; it has more core work, more one-leg moves and the cardio segments always use dumbbells. The Maximize Back In Action DVD is also a little more intense than Jillian's Shape Up Backside DVD; it has more core work, harder exercises and additional power moves. All 4 DVDs are an excellent buy and since they are all short workouts, you can easily combine them with cardio for a well-rounded 60 minute workout. Note: You will not like Jillian's workouts if you prefer to go heavy with weights. |
AWESOME!!!

These videos (shape up-front and shape up-backside) are awesome! They are high energy and she really pushes you and makes you want to do better. I am getting ready for my wedding and these videos are doing the job.
Each workout is only 30 min long, which is nice compared to some videos which are an hour long. I am really busy but I can fit this into my schedule.
I tried to do a workout video one time in which the exercises were so complicated that I was lost in 5 min. These exercises are very easy to do, but very intense. She mixes weight training with cardio so that your are working out your muscles but also burning fat at the same time. I definitely recommend these to anyone who wants to get in shape and look better.

| So first off, I absolutely could careless to write reviews - but I had to chime in on this one. I binge-bought about ten workout DVD's a few months ago, and could say I wasted my money or got a great deal. I probably use two of the DVD's, one being this one I use almost everyday. If I go to a gym I can be on an elliptical for two hours and not break a sweat. In this DVD, I am sweating profusely after ten minutes. It is fabulous because you are getting such a powerful workout within a period of thirty minutes (I lead a busy life and cannot hit the gym for two hours every other day). Beware though that it is very tough, there are no rest periods, and have a bottle of water (or two) ready to go. This is what you should be spending your money on folks. |
