Product Description
From Amazon.com
If you're envying the six-pack abs on Jillian Michaels, trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser and self-proclaimed "TV's toughest fitness guru," look no further than her Shape-Up Backside exercise DVD for an intense high-impact workout. Michaels keeps your body moving (though she herself skips out on half the exercises) with hammer curls, oblique raises, step ups, planks, and a move called The Superman destined to tone your back, biceps glutes, hamstrings and abs. There's a lower-level option, but Michaels likes to "kick your butt," as she says, to get you to feel the burn. Shape-Up Backside's DVD features include printable diet/exercise logs, nutrition tips and recipes. It requires two props: a bench-style exercise step and light dumbbells, which may make it difficult for beginners. But if you give it a try, even in the comfort of your living room you'll think you're in a gym -- trainer yelling in your ear and all. -- Ellen A. Kim

Disappointing,
By Jodie (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Biggest Winner: How to Win by Losing - The Complete Body Workout (5-Disc DVD Box Set: Shape Up: Front & Back, Cardio Kickbox, Maximize: Full Frontal & Back in Action) (DVD)
Since there was NO online review for this product, I went ahead and purchased it. Overall the DVD's are not too bad, but they are not amazing either.First off, you need a stepper for the workouts, which was not indicated on the package. I had a good laugh at the nutrition feature whereby you were told to go and purchase her book or check out her website. Sheesh! The workouts are about 30 minutes and they are not sequences that are new or exciting (for me at least). The music is horrible and Jillian's constant giggling and flirting with her male entourage is annoying. In the dvd set there is a cardio dvd which is a waste of time. She continually states how we can do it, well it's not difficult! If you want a change to your routine, this dvd is alright.

WHOA!,
By kelle cloutier (edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Biggest Winner: How to Win by Losing - The Complete Body Workout (5-Disc DVD Box Set: Shape Up: Front & Back, Cardio Kickbox, Maximize: Full Frontal & Back in Action) (DVD)
I have to disagree with the other reviewer.I find the Cardio Kick Box workout - its insane. Tons of jumping jacks, jump rope, fast lunge kicks and "fast feet". She is quite motivating (I have never seen her on the biggest Loser Show) and I like to do this several times a week. The strength trainig dvds do use a step/bench and i wasn't prepared but after one watch i was ready. Hard stuff with burpees and other 'boot camp"

This review is from: The Biggest Winner: How to Win by Losing - The Complete Body Workout (5-Disc DVD Box Set: Shape Up: Front & Back, Cardio Kickbox, Maximize: Full Frontal & Back in Action) (DVD)
I definitely highly recommend these DVD's, my main reason being that there is absolutely NOTHING difficult about any of the moves. So if you're like me (two left feet), I would definitely consider getting these DVD's. But before you think that Ms. Michaels is easy on you I have to say that she is definitely NOT. She makes you move, move, move, but you don't get distracted thinking about whether you're moving just like the people on the DVD. I really liked the way she repeatedly encouraged her audience, but not in that smiley faced insipid way that other aerobic teachers do. Jillian Michaels talks and sounds tough, like she knows what she's talking about. Definitely makes you feel more confident in her. Overall these are great DVD's if you're looking for a quick 30 min. workout that still makes you work your butt off! Love it.
