I'm fairly new to workout videos, aside from yoga DVDs, but quite familiar with various modalities of exercise; my level is intermediate/advanced. This workout is excellent. It's just the right length at one hour. I prefer workouts created at a 60 minute length with an option to reduce the time commitment (as is the case with this workout), as opposed to 2 x 30 minutes workouts. If you are short on time and want to isolate certain circuits in this workout, you can. It is a total body workout and can be done everyday.

The reviewer who complains that this workout is lackluster needs better music or more bells and whistles than I. I only need a clearly demonstrated, challenging, and results-driven workout. Jillian Michaels may not appeal to all, particularly those looking for more "fun" in a workout. I happen to like her bootcamp style. I find her straightforward and personable. Most importantly, I see results with this workout and highly recommend it.

I have many fitness DVDs, way too many, and there is always something that is not quite right: either too long, or too boring, or too intense, or not intense enough, or instructor is annoying. I started questioning myself, may be I am just looking for excuses? And then I bought Jillian's DVD, and everything just fell into place. It's perfect. Only 40 minutes in length, but SO intense, that it has a LOT of room for growth. You can actually advance yourself while doing just this one workout. Jillian's a great motivator, and her harsh voice and great sense of humor work wonders for me. She looks hot, that helps too. And one thing that I noticed: she doesn't count the repetitions, so before you know it, it's "two more left". I use 4lb weights (for faster results).
Another great think is simplicity. After the first time I don't really need to look at TV screen, focus more on my posture and basically trying not to die (especially on those 'planks' and 'windshield wipers'). However, at the very end I don't feel exhausted and out of breath. I feel lifted and happy and proud of myself.
Thanks Jillian! I know results are coming.

This is my second "Jillian" DVD and it works.....especially to define and work muscles. "30 Day Shred" is for days I'm in a hurry, or just want more cardio....and "No More Trouble Zones" is when you want to dig into your muscles and work them. This basic workout gives you the option to breathe between circuits or just do the whole video, full steam ahead.
Either way, you will work up a sweat. Some of the exercises are oldies, but, when the next day, you can feel parts of your body that haven't been "worked" before, you know that she has studied the method in her madness. Definitely I would recommend this video, but added with an alternate for different days.

I have all the Jillian Michaels DVDs up to this point and this DVD is the hardest. You will be exhausted by the end but the results will make you want to do it again. I go back to the 30 Day Shred occassionally and I love how short that workout is, but now it just doesn't seem as challenging as the No More Trouble Zones workout.

This DVD is a great workout for all of a woman's trouble zones, just as it claims to be. It's long enough to provide a good workout and targets the arms, legs, bum, and tummy. I've been doing this DVD once a week, in combination w/running and other Jillian Michaels DVD's and I have noticed a difference in muscle tone in my entire body. I love Jillian's DVD's. They are worth every penny and they work you. God bless the woman because she delivers what she says she will.

I like how you can do the entire workout or pick wich areas you would like to work. The lower body and core section is my favorite. I enjoy the mat work. I can see a difference in my body after working with Jillian for 60 days :)

My husband and I both tried this one - I reviewed it before even trying - he watched a bit and indicated he would like to try it as well. After the first go - I was so sore I could not think about exercising for four days and I think he may have regretted the thought as well. We have done it five more times and it gets easier every time - and I can feel the muscles reacting, tightening. Well worth the money and the time. I really would hate to be on Biggest Loser this was tough for an hour, I can't imagine working out for hours in a day and day after day - I'm sure those people couldn't move after the first workout. Love the video - love Jillian!

This is one of the best circuit training workouts ever. It comprises of 7 6 minute circuits and uses 3lb hand weights. I am an intermediate exerciser and found this one just perfect. If you are an advanced exerciser you can always increase the weight load. Lots of different moves that are not choreographically difficult, and really work. This is an A plus workout and I would definitely recommend it if you love circuit training. It makes you sweat, but isn't as intense on the cardio as her banish fat boost metabolism dvd. Absolutely love this workout and you will get results!

No more trouble zones gives you results! My body used to be box like, I got curves now, love it. It's hard but it pays back...

Alot of Jillian's dvds have quick 30 minute work outs. This one is longer (if you do the entire thing) which is wonderful. You will get a complete and all around work out with focus on all those areas we fight constantly (the muffin top, saddle bags etc).
I love that is a little longer because 30 minutes is great when you are in a time crunch, but this DVD is great to make you feel like you have accomplished alot.
