Jillian Michaels - No More Trouble Zones (DVD)

If you are advanced and looking for a tough workout, this is the one for you. I love this dvd. She focuses on the trouble zones as promised in the title and you will be sweating when she is done.

I really like this dvd. Jillian is supportive and the workout is effective, but not overly difficult. In my opinion, it is just right. You have the option of doing the entire workout or select individual segments that you want to work on. I choose to the the entire 40 minute workout and then went back and selected a couple of different segments to make it a full hour workout. I also like the fact that there is not a lot of jumping and flailing around, but controlled and concentrated movements. For the record, I've purchase two other dvds by Jillian and for some reason, I just did not care much for them. I have been working out for years, and did not find them overly difficult. Maybe it was just her overbearing attitude in those particular dvds? I gave the dvds to a friend and thought I'd never try Jillian again. I'm really glad I did. This is going to be one of my favorites.

This is an excellent workout! It hits all areas of the body and is a real challenge. I take a kickboxing class and my instructor suggested the Jillian Michaels DVD's for my off days and I'm really glad that she did because they work just like her class! They tone and make you lose weight! I highly recommend the Jillian Michaels workout DVD's and I have 5 of them!

This has been a favorite of mine since I had my son on 2006. This is my second copy lol It definitely works your entire body! You have the option to do the entire workout or if you're not quite sure or are just having an off day you can pick and choose circuits individually. I love this workout because it's always challenging. You can start off with no weights or 2-3lbs weights and gradually move up to heavier weights to make it more difficult. This workout works and it will have muscles sore you didn't even know you had lol

You don't need a personal trainer. I brought this DVD a week ago. I also walk/jog as part of my excercise routine. BUT let you tell you, this DVD is awesome. It reminds me of when I had a personal trainer at the gym and she pushed me beyond what I thought I could do. This DVD is just like your own personal trainer. Ever muscle in my body was exhausted. I have to do this every other day. I definitely recommend it you are wanting to tone up your problem areas.

I started working out back in November 2009. I injured my back early December and took it easy until mid January 2010. I started on this DVD; I’m not going to lie—it is hard if you are a beginner like I was. I first started with Jillian’s 20 minute workout and graduated to this one. Some days when I felt it was too much, I did half in the morning and the rest after work. I had to constantly keep pushing myself because this is a no-joke workout. But I knew if Jillian could work people out who were 300-400 lbs then I could do it. I kept reminding myself results will come in time (I’m an immediate gratification kind of gal). I started at 197 lbs. and still trying to squeeze into my size 14 (pretty sure by this time I was a large 16, small 18). By my birthday at the end of April, I dropped to a size 12 and 175 lbs. doing this faithfully everyday for 5 days, weekends off and used those as my “cheat” days (I started looking at the nutrition facts and stopped buying foods with high fructose corn syrup/corn syrup, modified starch, enriched bleached/unbleached flours, high sodium, etc). A year later, I have since switched up my workouts with Jillian but am a size 8/10, 160 lbs. and am in the best shape I’ve ever been. I’ve always been overweight (between 175-250) but Jillian’s workouts help me to take better care of myself and everything else falls into place. This is a good start for ANYONE!!

Jillian is sooooo right on here!!! She promises you results and u will definitely get them doing this work out. Well it starts out ok with the standing moves with weights but when she gets the the floor moves in the circuits boy is it tough...... I will get better as I get more flexible but it is really tough for the beginner and a challenge for the more advanced but one thing i can say is if you don't want anymore trouble zones do this workout often and you will feel the results I did this for the first time yesterday and have been sore in my abs today.

I started doing cardio with strength training three years ago, 5 to 6 days a week. It wasn't until I started doing Jillian's workouts that I (and my husband!) started to see a drastic improvement in the shape of my muscles. I would highly recommend this video. But like Jillian says, you have to watch what you eat also!

This is a great workout! I'm a new mom that doesn't have time for the gym and is sick of the treadmill. Jillian pushes you the entire time! You will feel it! I do wish there was a little bit more cardio in with all of the strength with this DVD but great anyway!

In a nutshell, I think this product is for advanced exercisers. I think this product would give the results it promises if you are able to stick with it. I find that it is too long--40 minutes--to keep up with. If it were a little shorter and/or a little less intense of a workout, I might have been able to do it longer. If you are experienced at exercising and are in decent shape to begin with, this is the DVD for you. For people like me who don't work out too much to begin with (I only walk/stroll with baby)--you might find it difficult. I could not make it through the entire DVD once. I was able to complete the DVD in one day, just split into two separate attempts. Even after the first attempt, I woke up the next morning to be very sore. (I could not lift my baby without intense pain) It took several days for the pain to go away, and even then, I still found it very difficult to work my way through even a couple of circuits.
