Working Out Just Got Fun For Me!

I have to share the details of my newest  workout video. I'm in love with it!

I picked up a copy of Jillian Michael's  DVD, The Biggest Winner - How to Win by Losing. For those of you that may not know, she is the trainer on television's The Biggest Loser and she is tough! And fit! After trying her video, I can see why! The one I have targets butt, back, abs, hamstrings, biceps, and nutrition, but there is a set for a complete body workout as well at Amazon (Amazon affiliate link). It is one of the best workouts I have had in a long time! The Biggest Winner combines cardio with weight training for the whole spectrum. Just when you think you can't do the cardio, she shifts gears and gives you a break so it's easy to stay with her.  I feel like I am getting the most bang for the buck with this one!

Plusses to workout video:

  • Variety- Just when you think you can't do another jumping jack, your done and concentrating on weights and back again. Some reps are 30 and others are only 10.
  • Fast paced - The combination of weights and cardio and up and down make the time go by fast. Before you know it, it's been a half hour and you have burned a LOT of calories!
  • Tells you not to back down - Jillian is tough as nails. As she points out, "There's a reason why you bought this video"… "so don't hit the pause button"… "stick it out." She motivates the entire way.

Negatives to workout video:

  • A lot of jumping (not for those living above others)
  • A lot of standing to being on the floor (although that is more exercise)
  • There are some exercises that you should have a step with. You don't need it, but I am having a difficult time getting the step down, and think it would make the difference. Plus, it's a better workout if you have a step.

Advice to beginners:

  • Have WATER nearby. You won't have a second to get a drink once it starts and you'll want it. Trust me!
  • Sneakers or barefoot is okay. Socks are too slippery for some of the moves.
  • You jump around a lot so make sure this won't create havoc for anything in your workout area (pictures on the walls, lamps, etc.)

This workout is upbeat and achievable. I only made it through 20 minutes my first time and in no way was I coordinated, but that's okay. I had a good workout and the next time I did it longer and had it more together. It's proven- the more you do something, the better you get. It gives you a goal to work toward.

I hope this helps!
