Great workout, especially if you add a couple things
This workout DVD yields results. I had to stay on level 1 for 2 weeks, and am now on level 2 on my 3rd week, and am already seeing a difference in my form. My body is shaping up already, and my endurance is noticeably higher. For instance, I went on a 3 hour hike yesterday, with the last 30 minutes super challenging, and kept up no problem. Three weeks ago that would have never happened. Any dietary efforts make results happen faster, of course. FYI: lemon water speeds up recovery time, and so does lots of raw food.
What I like the best is that each level has two different people to watch and follow, for beginners, and for more experienced people. This allows for two different exertion levels per level, which is really handy for starting off on a new level (especially after maxing out on the previous one). It allows you to go slowly and ease in if you need to, or hit it full throttle if you want to.
This workout is "no joke" as Jillian affectionately refers to some of the moves. I like her straight forward, no-nonsense, tough-girl approach. She is also unexpectedly encouraging, in a realistic way.
I also love that this is a short program, at about 25 minutes, which means even on busy days I have no excuses.
I would say the weakest parts of this program are the warm up is short, and the stretching afterwards is nearly worthless. For this reason I am docking one point. I worked with a trainer who said each stretch should be held for 20 seconds, minimum. I have found this to be true, and short stretches do me no good at all. Stretching decreases likelihood of injury, and keeps you flexible, not to mention relaxed. You don't want to wind up not being able to touch your toes, even if you do look great. I would recommend supplementing this with a stretching program, or educate yourself and add it on your own. You'll feel better for it.
I've noticed the more I do this, the more I want to do this. I've been averaging 4x a week for 3 weeks, and am going for 5 now. I am also adding a little more low-impact cardio before for warming up, when I have time, and a full body stretch/yoga program a few times a week.
All in all, this is a great primary core workout to have in your regime.
