Jillian Michaels, the trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser and self-proclaimed "TV's toughest fitness guru," runs through circuit training like a drill sergeant on caffeine.Her theory is to keep moving in between exercises to burn twice as many calories, so she cycles her team through sumo squats, mountain climbers, jump ropes, shoulder raises and bicycle moves without taking a breath. If she doesn't think one of her comrades is picking up his knees high enough, she makes everyone do 30 more, with a sadistic grin. As a result, you can almost literally watch the muscle burn. Michaels' Shape-Up Front DVD works out the chest, shoulders, triceps and quads. It also requires two props: a bench-style exercise step and light dumbbells. The DVD features include printable diet/exercise logs, nutrition tips and recipes. Despite a lower-level option, it isn't for anyone looking for a low-impact aerobic workout. --Ellen A. Kim

- Have only done Front and Back Shape-Up So far
I am a VERY basic beginner at the moment--it has been almost two years since I have done any working out whatsoever.That said, I jumped back on the fitness bandwagon and pulled out this set, which I never before used.
I have only done the basic dvds so far, the front and back shape-ups.The workouts are SHORT, maybe 10 minutes each.I use them as a warm-up for some other workout dvds that I have.I look forward to her Cardio Kickbox and more high-intensity Front/Back dvds (the other ... Read More

Rating: - too old for this
I actually appreciate all that she does in this video, only she tells you who to watch as a "beginner" and that appointed person did everything the same way everyone else did. You must have a strong healthy back to do these tapes and I don't. I also thought there was one of her dancing videos and it was not included in the set, but my 20 year old daughter, who is in amazing shape, does them and enjoys them.

- It works, if you use it.:-)
These videos give a great workout.The people are dressed in shirts and shorts, rather than the usual skimpies.Well, Jilian is in her usual, but the others are dressed.There are men and women doing the video, so if you and your spouse are working out it isn't awkward.
Jilian makes the movements doable and difficult at the same time.
Great set.
