I've only gotten through the first 2 DVD's, Shape up Front & Back, but I can tell you this is how a trainer will work you out at a real gym. With regard to another buyer who commented that she gave this DVD series a 4 instead of a 5 due to the lack of instructions...well, if you read the DVD (it was either on the packaging or within the DVD words scrolling) to review the ENTIRE DVD before doing any of the exercises.
First of all, I do that with every DVD I use because how else can I record what I'm doing if I don't write it down. Yes, I actually write down everything that's done and log it in my computer system so every time I do it, I'm not retyping but just seleting the workout so I know what it consisted of.
Anyway, it's a very intense set of DVD's and it's not for the beginner. I also bought one of her other DVD's (30-Day Shred) but haven't use it yet as I bought them around the same time. There are good reviews on this one too but you only get 3 separate workouts which are supposed to be progressive. The reviewers pretty much tell you to alternate all three levels anyway so your workout won't get boring...just do the beginners versions on the ones that are difficult. Sounds like a great idea to me. I wouldln't have waited to progress anyway simply because I like to keep it interesting.
Remember, weight bearing exercises are extremely good for your joints and bones...i know I have chondromalacia patella...and if i can do them and feel MUCH better afterwards that's saying something.
Good luck to everyone using this.
(side note: i really feel like i'm on speed or something after doing these 30 minute work outs...i am not kidding.)

Customer Reviews
Boy does Jillian know how to work it!
AWESOME!!!
She really knows how to put you to the test.
You have to be fit to be able to keep up with her and her team though. Not recommended for those who don't exercise frequently already.
The 6-week plan information is misleading
The workouts are pretty good, but accessing the "6-week bikini workout" and other special features requires a DVDROM to access. It is not an insert like most workout DVDs. All in all, it was enjoyable for a great price.
