I'm almost too out of breath to even type, but I just finished doing this DVD for the first time and phew, it's a workout! I don't watch The Biggest Loser and don't know much about Jillian Michaels but I'm always looking for new workouts so I thought I'd try this one. It's not an easy ride, but as Jillian reminds you during the workout, results don't come for free. I found her commentary to be very motivational. After skipping a few moves because I figured they'd be too hard for me (at my diminished fitness level), she looked into the camera and said something along the lines of 'you can do this - you have no idea the potential that lies within you.'

Sometimes I think Clinton must write his books so that him and his friends can sit and laugh as the money rolls in. This book is funny at times, biting at every turn and completely useless if you're looking for any sort of advice on fashion. In this book each page is dedicated to a fashion crime but very little space is given to what you should do about it. This could be because the solutions are so obvious - case in point, his page on wet ponytails. Well yes, of course that is a no-no but I don't think those people are reading this book so why not try to give some real tips on real issues to those who are looking for a little advice? Not very funny and not helpful at all.
