Jillian Michaels - The Ultimate Box Set - 5 DVD's - UK PAL

What a bargain! When this DVD set arrived in the post I had a minor problem as the 'Killer Abs' DVD didn't work, but the seller was fantastic and sent me a replacement immediately. I was very happy with the service and as for the DVD content, I wasn't let down in that regard either. Killer Abs is more like 'Kills my arms and shoulders' because I felt those areas ache and that my abs weren't getting as much of a workout. For abs, your better bet is '6 Week 6 Pack'. Unlike '6 week 6 pack', it's not as intense, so if you class yourself as 'Intermediate' then this DVD is a good point to to begin with. I love that some of the DVDs separate cardio from strength/resistance, because I'm more of a resistance person. Jillian is a great motivator as always and with the different sets for each video, the scenery and the routines are kept so fresh you don't get bored! 'Yoga Inferno' really appeals to me, because they're out in a beautiful desert and do a lot of relatively comfortable moves and sweeping motions. Yoga is usually boring to me, but Jillian keeps the moves fluid, so the routine flows at a good pace. You sweat, but your heart isn't struggling to keep up like it does in 'One Week Shred'. Time-wise and for enjoyment, I'd pick 'Yoga Inferno' as the best. If you want to learn, Kickbox is a good DVD with short-burst exercises, but I'm naturally clumsy and slow to catch onto the moves. The peppy girls are a little distracting too. I like it when there are 2 people to demonstrate the workout, but when you toss in a gaggle of 'woo' girls not only does it look cluttered, but I feel they're not taking the workout seriously enough. I will say that some of them have incredible bodies, so it's great motivation in that sense. Overall, it's an excellent boxset. If you want maximum results, give 'Killer Abs and Kickbox' a miss and opt for the more difficult, 'Hard Body' and 'One Week Shred'.

Anything at all to do with Jillian Michaels - I will buy it - as long as it is in UK format - or region 0 or 2.I've played all of these dvds now. They are brilliant. I especially like the kickboxing one. The yoga inferno one is so funny. They're all wearing sunglasses but Jillian says it's not because they love themselves - well, just a little - it's just that she thought it would be a good idea to film the workout in the desert - but she didn't think about the strong sun.I did the kickboxing one for the first time yesterday. Unless you are feeling very lazy - bear in mind that I am 14 stone and 5'2" - you should do ALL of the 3 workouts back to back to get a good workout. I enjoyed doing workout 1 - for upper body, workout 2 for lower body - but only after I had done workout 3 - for abs (ALL of the workouts include cardio intervals) - did I feel that I had a good workout. I am not co-ordinated at all so it will take some time to do the combinations but I was still exhausted and sweating at the end.Regarding the fighting stance - Jillian has mentioned this numerous times in her other dvds - you stay on the same side - depending on if you are right handed or left handed - that is what kickboxing is all about. She goes through this in her tutorial. If you want to try doing left handed AND right handed stances - that's up to you - but I've tried it - and the combinations are complicated enough without trying to do the opposite leg and hand to Jillian! You get a good enough workout anyway - and you STILL work both sides.Once I have done this workout a few times - as well as the other DVDS in the box set - I will update this review.

AMAZING.Im a 32 yr old designer, I love food and I love to drink alcohol (red wine). Two weeks a go I weighed myself and BOOM I had put on 10lbs! Im 5'6 and usually weigh 9.4 stone but I weighed 10stone. Might not sound a lot to some people, but to me I felt terrible!In the past I've bought p90x, 30 day shred, Zumba etc. But I needed something fresh and new, I had my eye on One Week Shred, thinking yeah I can do 7lbs in one week. I thought the other dvds would be a bonus just to try. WRONG the One Week Shred is hardcore and I mean sweating buckets, not being able to breathe, you need to be fit to do this, maybe just do one dvd a day not two! So I tried hard body and killer abs - I LOVED THEM, seriously truly brilliant!Here it is, I have lost 4lbs in 4 days, I have rotated between hardbody and killer abs (can I just say killer abs is the whole body not just abs). I have been eating well, fruit or veg smoothie in the morning, chicken wrap or salad for lunch and fish/chiken and plenty of veg for dinner. For snacks Ive had eggs, feta cheese, yogurt, dried fruit, nuts and seeds and berries. Oh and I have had no wine, just I night I had 3 vodkas with no sugar cranberry juice.I feel great so I'm gonna do another workout tonight, then have Sunday and Monday off!Jillian always says in her dvds "remember what your goal is, why are you doing this?" You need to have a solid reason to loose weight otherwise it aint gonna work. I have an important event in one months time, so I want to look amazing and feel great for that. Thats my goal. Whats yours?

Great workouts but not my favorite from her. Came brand new, sealed

So in my reviews I try not to always give 5*'s purely as I believe there is always room for improvement however jillian has hit the nail on the head with these ones.As a person who works out 5 times a week and has completed the likes of insanity I was a bit sceptical. I just wanted to try something a bit different and jillian does not disappoint.I am a busy mum on the go and I just like to keep in shape and this boxset is just perfect. It has workouts ranging from 20 minutes to 50 minutes and with different levels. I have to say the 7 day shred is my favourite as it is fast paced and only 30 minutes but kickbox is great for a quick 20 minute workout. There is a modifier in the workouts so if you are just starting out you can always switch the moves you are finding too difficult.I love the yoga workout that. I finish my week off with this as it is more chilled however still very difficult and it has taken a while for me to get the moves.Overall the price of this boxset is amazing for what you get and one of the best at home work outs I have had the pleasure of doing.

Utilizo este set de dvd's de Jillian Michaels para hacer cada día uno de ellos y así mantenerme en forma, me parecen muy amenos y algunos bastante exigentes si sigues el ritmo al que lo hacen ellas. Aunque recomiendo, al igual que dicen en los dvd, ver primero el programa y luego hacer los ejercicios para saber lo que van a hacer y no te pille de sorpresa.

Dvd di fitness con Jillian la mia preferita ti fa sudare e ti farà male anche i muscoli, ma tutto sommato fa bene. Consiglio di guardare i video prima di iniziare e provare.

Parfaite compilation pour se motiver à faire du sport ! Malgré pleins d’application différentes existantes j’aime avoir en visuel la boîte de dvd histoire de me rappeler de faire du sport 😁

Jillian ist einfach der Hammer. Ihre Workouts sind einfach super effektiv und man kann seinen Traumkörper erreichen, wenn man sich dran hält und wirklich möchte.Ich spreche hier nicht von einer strengen Ernährung oder 5 Stunden am Tag im Fitnessstudio.Jillian schlägt zwar in Ihren Büchern eine gewisse Ernährung vor. Ich bin jedoch der Typ ich versuche mit clean zu ernähren und sündige nur ab und zu, habe dann aber auch kein schlechtes Gewissen.Trainiert man zusätzlich ca. 5 Mal mit Jillian Michaels die Woche verändert sich der Körper so erstaunlich, dass ich es nie für möglich gehalten habe. Die Kilos purzeln und man wird immer straffer.(sorry fürs abschweifen)Zu der Ultimate Box: Ich liebe Kickbox Fast-Fix und auch Yoga Inferno, die anderen sind super, aber von dieser Box sind diese zwei mein Highlight.Man beachte Yoga Inferno ist mega anstrengend und schweißtreibend und hier geht wirklich was weiter. :) (wenn man es regelmäßig macht und auf die Ernährung achtet) Es ist also mehr bodyweighttraining als traditionelles Yoga.Kickbox-Fastfix: 3 x 20 Minuten Workouts - ich kombiniere je nachdem wie viel Zeit ich habe zwei Workouts hintereinander - also 40 Min.Jillian sagt es aber selbst mehrmals beim Workout: eigentlich ist nach 20 min alles erledigt.Ich bin ein großer Fan von ihr, habe fast alle DVD's und es ist wirklich alles von ihr effektiv. Man muss nur an sich selbst glauben und darf nicht aufgeben und in diesem Punkt ist sie so eine Top-Trainerin, die so gut motiviert, das das bei mir von alleine passiert ist.Natürlich sprechen die Erfolge auch für sich. :)Absolute Kaufempfehlung

Me encanta, tiene variedad de ejercicios q gracias a las explicaciones tambien en español se pueden seguir, y estoy muy contenta con esta compra.Yo no tng tiempo de ir al gimnasio tengo niños pequeñis y ha sido un aliado para estar en forma sin salir de casa
