As expected, Jillian delivers!!!
I may be biased because I am a fan of Jillian since the 30 Day Shred came out and I have all of her DVDs, but I got to say, she does not disappoint on this one. I consider myself advanced and I felt the burn on Level 1. Like she said, if it is too easy, just add weights and problem solved. But even without weights, it burns.
The only thing I noticed that was inconsistent is it says the workouts are 30 minutes long, but they are actually between 40-45 minutes long (Level 1 about 40min, Level 2 about 42min and Level 3 about 45min). I guess if you don't count the warm-up and cool-down, then they are 30min of strict strength/cardio training.
And for those people that get annoyed and actually pay attention to what she is saying, she complains a lot about people saying on Facebook and Twitter that her workouts are too easy and how that pisses her off and she mentions that a few times. Not a big deal, but I know people get annoyed about stuff like that...
Our Dedicated, Tough, "Artiste" Trainer Delivers Again (let the Jillian love continue)
Would there be any doubt that we would receive nothing but a tough workout from our beloved trainer? Yes, she still makes you want to reach through the TV and occasionally give her a smack down (with all the muscles she helped you form) but alas, you keep pouring it into your workout. I'm an athlete, 43 years old, mostly run trails and circuit train daily (with one rest day) so am in good shape but have room to improve (we all know staying fit is nothing but a ton of WORK - fun WORK.) I've been looking for something that focuses more on the backside and could barely wait all weekend for my Amazon package to arrive today. Even if you have not been an athlete or if you are trying this as a beginner, just take your time, honor yourself, and follow the beginner in the video. Just stick to it.
This quick review is about workout 1 and 2 and I did them back-to-back tonight. I may update later w/workout 3 but I just wanted to write quickly to say that Jillian herself says she...
Amazing video, amazing results!
I've spent my summer working through Jillian Michaels' videos...30 day shred in June, Ripped in 30 in July, then I started Killer Buns & Thighs for August. I was in good shape from the first two videos, but I couldn't believe how tough Killer Buns was! I do the video 3 days, then take 1 day rest, repeating until I've done each level for 9 workouts. I'm almost through my 9 days at Level 2 and I'm THRILLED with the changes in my rear and thighs!! I've lost a lot of the "fluff" around my upper thighs and butt...I never dreamed at age 44 (after years of "thunder thighs") that I'd get results like this. Yesterday, I grabbed a pair of my 16 year-old daughter's jeans by mistake. Just as I realized I had the wrong pants, my daughter walked in and said,"I can't believe you're wearing my black skinny jeans...but they look great!" You guessed it, I wore them all day! Thanks to Jillian Michaels, I'm rocking size 6 skinny jeans!
