Jillian Michaels, the trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser and self-proclaimed "TV's toughest fitness guru," runs through circuit training like a drill sergeant on caffeine. Her theory is to keep moving in between exercises to burn twice as many calories, so she cycles her team through sumo squats, mountain climbers, jump ropes, shoulder raises and bicycle moves without taking a breath. If she doesn't think one of her comrades is picking up his knees high enough, she makes everyone do 30 more, with a sadistic grin. As a result, you can almost literally watch the muscle burn. Michaels' Shape-Up Front DVD works out the chest, shoulders, triceps and quads. It also requires two props: a bench-style exercise step and light dumbbells. The DVD features include printable diet/exercise logs, nutrition tips and recipes. Despite a lower-level option, it isn't for anyone looking for a low-impact aerobic workout. --Ellen A. Kim

Great workout, but one thing to note July 22, 2008
Glad I bought it. Good deal. HOWEVER, No where on the video does it mention that I'd need a step, but it can be done without a step easily cause she doesn't use it much. Each video is 20-25 minutes and it really does a good job getting your heart rate up in a short amount of time. It's tough, but a beginner could work up to the exercises cause they're basic and advanced exercisers can do 2 or more videos in a session and be beat. No background music to get sick of, great for guys who don't usually do videos and want a change.
 The Jury Is Still Out On This One... July 21, 2008
I love Jillian Michaels and her work on The Biggest Loser, but I can't say the same about the DVD's I had purchased. To start off, there is no music to keep any sort of time with (which I found a little hard at first). Also, all the DVD's seem to be very slow-paced...something I personally do not like in a workout.
Her methods apparently work, it's just if you buy this product, don't be discouraged if it is not what you are expecting.
 The Biggest Winner July 17, 2008
This DVD set is just what I needed. I was looking to spend a little extra time at home working out and this was perfect. Of course it does nothing if you're not motivated but the DVD's are as tough as you want to work out.
The workouts are tough but well worth it.
Great workout! July 8, 2008
I really have enjoyed all of the videos in this DVD set. The workouts are challenging. I consider myself to be in pretty good shape as I workout every day - most days twice a day. I was looking to change up my cardio workouts and this is a good way. She incorporates light lifting along with cardio for a nice workout. The only thing I would wish for is a longer workout - these are only about 25 minutes each. Overall - I really like getting up in the morning and workout out with Jillian!
Great Workout but too much DVD intro July 3, 2008
I work out 5 days a week and these videos still manage to get my heart rate up and make me sweat. They combine a lot of exercises most people don't do together, (for example; lunges with bicep curl or jumping jacks with shoulder press). It's an awesome workout and I think good for beginners or advanced individuals. I don't like the fact it takes a good 10 minutes to get through the intro music and all that stuff but it's normal for any workout dvd. I don't care who the instructors class is or anything she has to say. I want to stick the video in and get to work instead of waiting around for her to say her piece. That is the only thing I hate about the videos. You definately need a step if you don't have one because she uses the step in all but one dvd. Just a heads up for anyone looking to purchase these. I'm glad there is no instruction to each exercise because you usually watch the video once anyways to see what it is all about and if you had to deal with that each time it would be aggravating. So I like that she didn't put that into her video. That is just my opinion, i just want to work out, who cares about who her workout crew is and all that other b.s. she talks about. Definitely worth the purchase. Heather
