The Biggest Winner - How to Win by Losing: The Complete Body Workout (5-Disc DVD Set: Shape Up - Front, Shape Up - Back, Cardio Kickbox, Maximize - Full Frontal, Maximize - Back in Action)

This Cardio Kickbox workout it best used as an addition to your other cardio and weight workouts. It is a quick 20 minute workout that Jillian recommends using in the middle of the week to take a break from weight workouts.
I'm a 45 yr. old working mother with three kids. I only have an hour in the morning to exercise/stretch/cooldown/shower so I was looking for something short but intense to help me lose these last 10 lbs.
I gave this 3 stars because I would prefer it to be 30-35 minutes. It's a little too short. I'm in pretty decent shape, but I do work up a sweat. I feel that it doesn't work any particular muscle group intensely, but more of an all-over workout. You work some on your obliques, your legs a bit, but nothing too intensly. This is more of a cardio workout, as it says in the title. I do like to use this in the middle of the week to break up harder workouts that use weights. I also have her 30 Day Shred workout and use that at least two to three days/week. That includes weights for the workout.
The other reason I gave it 3 stars is that she is a bit annoying in this. She does a lot of giggling and even takes a break in the middle to put her hair back. It seems like they started taping this and just went with the first take. It's not as professional as some other tapes. But, it you can get past that then it's an OK workout to use to give yourself a change of pace.

Im a very fit girl and always hated vide workout because I found it not effective and resultless. But those DVD are jut amazing!!...I saw a change in my body at the third workout!!...Jillian really push you hard. Your heart rate never stop from the very begining to the last second of the workout!!

If you want to have Jillians body in no time, then buy this DVD!!

Excellent! I really enjoy these tapes and it keeps me motivated. I am thinking about purchasing them for my mom - Christmas Gift.

So boring. Kick to the front, kick to the back, do some jumping jacks. Reminds of elementary school the way this is done. No combination moves that you see in kickboxing- jab, knee, front kick, etc. If this was an unknown, it would not have made it into the marketplace. Avoid this only if you want something super easy. I'm glad I got it cheap.

I usually get bored or frustrated with videos. They are either too complicated or too dull. These dvd's kicked my butt from day one, and the moves aren't too complicated at all. The workouts are short, and results come quickly.
