Uh, Jillian!

Jillian Michaels: Banish Fat, Boost MetabolismDarling Jillian, first I read it's a 50 minute workout on the back.  Then, I click and it says "start 40 minute workout" and you totally get my hopes up and then FIFTY FIVE MINUTES INTO IT, we end.

A) You are fired.

B)  Truth in advertising baby... that makes me want to eat a giant bowl of chocolate ice cream.  {sigh}

Anyway, this is a 55 minute workout.  On the top it's 55 minutes of crazy intense cardio... but then you realize you're also doing a lot of muscle building weight work within all that cardio.

This is, the hardest workout I've done.  It's like doing all 3 of the shred levels at once.  She does give a few modifications, which I cheerfully took.  I am not sure I'm going to be sore tomorrow, but I am really tired right now.  That could've been from the 5 million sirens that woke me up last night, the night that P sleeps through - i-yi-yi!

Anyway, I got this from netflix, I plan to do it 2 more times.  I have heard this is a lot like the P90X workouts.  It does make me feel good that I got through it.  It's not a workout for newbies though.  The exercises are hard and it is LONG.  I think you can pick through the circuts.  I will say that the circut at about 19 minutes and again at 39'ish minutes are the worst.  The other ones are a little easier.

Either way, if you're looking for a solid workout this is a good one. The circuts are pretty short and even burpees (which I HATE) were short enough I could get through them before giving up.
