DVD Reviews of Jillian Michaels for Beginners - Frontside / Backside
DVD Review: Good exercises, annoyng instructor
Summary: 4 Stars
"Hey there my brutha!" - This is your instructor tryin' ta be a cool gangster yo.
I don't watch "The Biggest Loser" but Jillians videos seem to be very popular and I needed some good beginner workouts. She goes through the circuits slow enough to follow and the workouts themselves are actually really helpful and not too crazy. Her pacing really helps beginners and she actually explains step by step how to do something, which is nice.
The only thing that annoys me is when she throws in some slang and seems like she is trying to show how cool she is. Jillian is "down" with her Biggest Loser pals. Thats annoying to me, I can't explain why.
However, good video for beginners :)
DVD Review: Great for a focused strength workout
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had this DVD for about a month now and I love it. The first couple times through it was difficult but I am already mastering the moves and getting stronger. I still feel some muscle soreness the day after I do them as well as find myself a bit shaky for a few hours that same day. Here are the pros follwed by the cons I have found since owning it.
Pros:
Two workouts for the price of one.
Focus on front or back side muscles or an all over workout if you go through both in one day.
Jillian is VERY instructive which helps if you are not sure how to perform the move. She also shows you more difficult ways to perform the moves as you become more advanced.
Each DVD contains 6 circuits so you have control over what you do.
Already I have gotten stronger and go for more reps and more advanced forms of the move.
Can be combined with other workouts to up the calorie burn since it is not overly exhausting in itself.
Here are the cons:
I wear a HRM when I workout and I find that individually you only burn around 350 - 400 calories for each DVD. Therefore i usually do them together which burns around 600-750 calories but takes 1 and 1/2 hours to complete without stopping.
Once you get used to doing the moves you easily get ahead of the people on the DVD so I find myself finishing a circuit and having to skip forward to the next one.
There is no music.
Overall I would recommend this workout for those who want to start a strength routine and are nto sure how or where to begin. Advanced people may find it a bit slow, but I like it.
DVD Review: Great for total novice, not for experienced exercisers
Summary: 3 Stars
This would be fantastic for someone who is just starting a work out program. I've worked out for years, but wanted to see what Jillian's videos were all about. She does an excellent job of explaining the purpose behind every exercise and she does talk about proper form. That said, there's just too much talk and too much time between exercises for someone who just wants to burn through the routines and keep their heart rate up.
However, if you are a true beginner, then this video would be great for you.
DVD Review: This Video Stinks
Summary: 1 Stars
To do this video you need two sets of weights, a step, and a chair. I think a lot of these moves aren't right for beginners (without having a fitness instructor with you) because they are high impact, and it would be really easy to hurt yourself if you do the moves incorrectly. Also, Jillian seems like she's just kind of winging it every time she talks...like there is no script. All of the exercises are disjointed...it would be very hard to just pop this DVD in a get a good workout because of all of the pauses and Jillian's pointless monologues. FOR ME, THIS VIDEO WAS MORE OF A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT THAN A BIG HELP. DVD Review: Great Beginners Workouts
Summary: 5 Stars
The workouts here really do target your front and back well. The fronside routine works on your arms and abs while the backside works your legs and glutes.
The instruction is very clear for the moves and what they are doing to help you. I am still a beginner for the most part in many of the home exercise DVDs and I found this one perfect combination. Jillian is very good in this DVD and I am going to pick up the Shred at some point based on this.
