My wife just bought the new Jillian Michaels' Ultimate Body Makeover Workout DVD, so I tried it this morning. It's 45 minutes of fast-paced, fat-burning circuits that definitely get your heart rate up and burn your muscles. I really enjoyed it. It was a nice change to my current workout routine forcing me to use muscles utilizing different exercises.
Having produced workout videos before myself, I really appreciate the straight forward and honest approach. She's not bouncing off the walls and when something is hard, she says it's hard. In fact, one exercise - the superman - she says, "I hate doing these but I love the way they make me look when I'm done". Wow, honest but so accurate.
My favorite part of the video is not actually an exercise at all. About half way into the workout Jillian says: "You can't spot reduce. The only way to burn fat is by burning calories" Ah, some refreshing honesty for a change. Sadly this type of honesty is in the minority but clearly needed. I applaud her workout DVD but give her a standing ovation for telling it like it is. That's inspiration we can all use. Healthy Jumping...
