There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Well, I had to stop after the first 26 minutes of this video. Partly because I pulled a muscle in my hamstring. And partly because I'm not used to working out this hard for 40 minutes. I am used to having a 26-minute workout with the 30-day shred.
This, by the way, is not easier just because it's cardio with no weights. Not easier at all. I was not expecting this. There are yet more exercises that challenge me! Yet MORE exercises that make me feel like I'm going to die! Lots of explosive pylometrics, lots of compound bodyweight exercises, lots of REAL athlete exercises! YEAH! The only thing harder than this would be CrossFit.
Four caveats:
1. If you've spent some time on the 30-day shred (and even if you haven't), take it easy and be careful with the toe touches during the warm-up. You don't want to pull your hamstring in the warmup like I did because you're going to need your legs to do all that kickboxing later.
2. Don't click on her "health tips" video in the bonus section--unless you want to see an cringe-worthy plug from someone you thought was above all that. She says stuff like, "Eat fresh fruits and vegetables!" "Drink plenty of water." And then, out of nowhere: "And use an electric toothbrush from Oral B!" What now? Then her health tips turn into this full-blown infomercial for Oral B electric toothbrushes, starting at $22 each. WTF? Jillian, really, I have developed so much respect for you doing this 30-day shred with you every day for the last year. Don't throw it all away on an electric toothbrush! So, yeah, avoid the bonus section.
3. The redhead in the back is a bit too smiley for me. Neither of those ladies looks like they're trying very hard sometimes. There's one part where Jillian says, "You should really be breathing hard!" And it flashes back to the one on the right, and she looks like she's just going through the motions, like this is just a walk in the park. I liked the backup workout ladies on 30-day shred MUCH better. Those ladies were awesome. They looked like they were really struggling, which is just what you want to see when you're struggling, too. I'm having backup workout lady withdrawals.
4. The 5-pounds-a-week claim on the cover is ridiculous unless you're already obese or come down with the flu the same week you work out.
Despite these quibbles, she can keep her five stars because this is one crazy-hard workout and I feel like I'm in pretty good shape. I can run for 60 minutes. I can do Level 2 of 30-Day Shred. But apparently I want to die after 26 minutes of this video. Love that. Makes me feel like if I can get through this, I will be a real athlete. Also, I love Jillian's style. I love that she will tell the truth about how hard we have to work to get results, and I love that she doesn't try to make everything warm and fuzzy. This will definitely get the fat off when combined with a good diet and, of course, an electric Oral B toothbrush starting at $22.
Since it matters, I will say that I have been losing weight for over a decade. That's right - 11 years, to be exact. No gastric bypass or any other magical surgery. I got my butt to the gym and JUST DID IT! (Previously I was swimming laps for weight loss, but because it is not a weight bearing exercise, once you plateau, swimming's effectiveness is over. I would do laps for over an hour and it was getting me nothing but bad headaches. But swimming is still a good kickstart for someone who is overweight.) I started out on the elliptical and went low carb. I began walking 2 miles, then 3, then 5, now it's up to 10 if I want. I'm a Zumba instructor and a hiker. While I am no longer 300 lbs, 88% body fat (some crazy high number when they tested me at a gym long ago) and a size 28/30, I'm still not a skinny girl. It has taken me a LONG TIME to lose the weight, but that's a good thing - this was more of a commitment than I ever knew, and once you get to the 5th year and it's not all done with, you realize you've committed to a lifestyle change, and not just to losing the weight. After the Zumba convention this year I hit yet another plateau. Someone mentioned 30 Day Shred in a Facebook group and I went with it!
All of that to let you know that I am not a size 10, yet I am very physically capable, my only real limits being lower back and knee issues if I am not careful. So...BFBM is challenging for me, every time. I don't get through it as fast as they do (45+ mins) because I need longer breaks to allow my lower back to rest, otherwise my muscles tense up and my back will go out. I'm still challenging myself, still working at an increased pace, still sweating, but always remaining tuned into my body or else face consequences. If you have lower back issues, I suggest you do the same. However, out of all of JM's workouts that I have done so far, this one is the most lower-back and knee-friendly. There's impact but no lunging, which typically bothers my knees. Many of the ab moves are standing rather than mat work - still challenging, but not stressing. There are some great kickbox moves, which I love.
Overall, I skip only a couple of exercises in BFBM. Anything ski-like is bound to stress my lower back, so I skip those. But you'd be surprised how much you can do, even if you're overweight to begin with. Do not let plank moves such as mountain climbers and oblique twists intimidate you - they are challenging at first, but if you keep pushing yourself, you will increase your abilities. Do what you can at first, and do not give up! If you keep at it, your body will become accustomed to it and eventually you will actually find some of these moves pleasurable.
I like Jillian's interactions with the other girls, and "instructor speak" in most of her videos. She's a fun personality overall, and she's encouraging. "Push yourself. Don't phone it in." The other girls provide modified moves for beginners as well as the advanced "kickass" version of the moves. No one is left out here. I'm not saying it's going to be easy at first - it wasn't easy for me, and I can do hours of Zumba with no problem, and hike and walk several miles. It's just a different kind of workout, very intense, little rest, always moving.
Try it and keep at it. Do not give up - you will see changes in your body right away, and you will keep losing weight/getting fit as you progress because you will be able to do more, faster, better, quicker within months. With Jillian's dvds I beat yet another plateau, and people comment that they notice my weight loss, even if it has only been a month since they last saw me. But you cannot just do BFBM for the rest of your life - mix it up with other workouts to keep seeing changes.

Edit. About the plug for the electric toothbrush I get it, I go to a dental clinic that promotes electric toothbrushing regardless of the brand and Jillian promotes not listening to negative thoughts and feelings and exercise and organic wholefoods for longevity; a holistic approach basically.
Die "Banish Fat Boost Metabolism - 6 Minute Fixes" - DVD ist sehr anstrengend und wenn man sie, wie ich, schon länger nicht mehr gemacht hat und das Workout nach langer Zeit wieder mal absolviert, ist man jedes Mal wieder von neuem überrascht, wie streng das Workout doch ist! Das Training ist eher etwas für Fortgeschrittene und Erfahrene Fitnessfans. Anfänger können sich sicherlich auch heranwagen, dann aber in ihrem eigenen Tempo innerhalb der Trainingszeiten. Es wird vor allem auf Cardio Wert gelegt und auf schnelle effektive Übungen, die den Stoffwechsel anregen! Bei regelmässigem Gebrauch plus gesunder Ernährung ist eine Gewichtsabnahme sicherlich machbar! Empfehlenswert.
Pris séparément, les exercices sont assez faciles et, à mon avis, réalisables même par des débutants (à condition qu'ils soient en bonne condition physique). On retrouve beaucoup de mouvements classiques de Jillian, plus deux circuits de kickboxing qui viennent mettre un peu de fantaisie. Toute la difficulté, c'est de tenir sur la longueur sans aucun temps de repos. Moyennant quoi, on obtient une séance crevante mais qui donne l'impression d'avoir bien travaillé l'ensemble du corps, avec très peu de risques de blessure ou de courbatures atroces le lendemain.
On notera par ailleurs que les exercices ne nécessitent pas d'haltères et prennent très peu de place; ce Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism est donc parfait pour les gens qui souhaitent continuer à faire du fitness pendant leurs vacances et autres déplacements loin de chez eux!
