 Turns out all the drama was for a good reason. Recommended! January 2, 2009

I watch Jackie's show on Bravo and thought she was pretty much a neurotic drama queen in the episode where they made this DVD. However now that I've actually done the workout, I think that Jackie's a perfectionist and wanted to put out a good product. She has succeeded.
This workout is one that can be done by all fitness levels. I normally think I'm pretty intermediate, but found myself using the beginner's modifications on the core section. It's nice to have something to work up to, I suppose.
I recommend this as an exerciser who is constantly seeking out new routines, as a person who lives in a cold climate and doesn't always feel like going to the gym to get a good workout, and finally as a Bravo junkie.
 Great workout video December 31, 2008

This is an excellent workout video. It is divided into three workouts: upper body, lower body, and abs. It also has different intensity for each of the workouts. I really like it because it gives a variety to my routine. Plus, it combines moves to work different parts of the body at the same time. I have a gym membership, and I'll go and do cardio but I like to come home to work out with this video, especially the abs. The abs is really tough and I have no doubt that doing this ab workout three times a week will get me to having those abs I've always wanted. I highly recommend it. I also recommend the Crunch Bootcamp, but it does a whole body workout, so you'll need a day of rest in between strenght training because you can't separate the workout.
my butt is on fire!!! December 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I tried the workout for the first time yesterday and let me tell you, my butt and inner thighs are burning today!!! I love that the whole workout is so fast paced because it makes it harder to get lazy and give up, you just want to finish since every exercise is only a minute long. But don't let that fool you, that minute can really be hard. I went through the entire workout but at the core I was so tired and in pain (I'm a beginner) that I kinda gave up here and there but it's definitely something you need to work up to. The core is the hardest one since you really need to focus on form so maybe I'll switch and do it first next time. I do feel much better today though. I'm at 120 lbs and a little out of shape so this video will definitely get me toned up and that's all I want. And the bits of cardio that Jackie puts in the middle of each set are a plus. Overall this is a good video. The hour just flies by and in the end you feel good about yourself that all areas have been targeted. The price definitely beats gym prices and the inconvenience of actually taking out time to go to classes makes this an excellent investment. This is a perfect video to get toned up and get your heart rate pumped up (for those ppl who have a sedentary lifestyle like me). I am very hard at getting motivated to work out but I am actually looking forward to doing it all over again tomorrow!
WHY ARE THERE SOO MANY HATERS???? December 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was seeing negative reviews for this video??....but I watch the show...and I saw that on the show Jackie struggled with making a video that was not cheesy....stayed away from the leotards and jumping up and down...
Usually there is always some truth to the negative reviews...but after getting this DVD....I see there is alot of "haters" out there....
Or maybe its the guy she fired from Skysport making up negative reviews to hurt her sales...
Let me just say....this video is hard....not impossible..but hard....for the intermediate...although a beginner has the modified versions that they can work with.
You feel it....
As a person who is an avid runner....I love when I feel similar pain .. that feeling of muscle fatigue.....although not howling in agony..I do feel a resulting stiffness with this dvd..
There are some great twists on the traditional excercises....and some new ones that work great...
I wouldnt compare it to the Biggest Loser DVD...apples and oranges...due to the words of motivation and the trainers.
If you watch the Biggest Loser...you know that these are really obese people who need to be nurtured and loved...to achieve their goals...
Jackie's video assumes that you have passed that stage ..and are ready for the next level- that you just need alittle coaching to get you through
They are both great videos....
I would say this video...is like P90x ..but not cheesy and not as intense...
Try it out......Im sure that you wont be dissapointed!
 Good Lower Body Workout December 16, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just got this DVD yesterday, and I have done the workout once. It's 20 minutes of upper body, 20 minutes of lower body, and 20 minutes of core exercises. I did all 3.
I thought the lower body section was the most intense, with lots of lunges, squats, and cardio sections that repeated movements from the weight training (like plyometric squats). I was glad the core section is 20 minutes and more intense than some of the shorter, 10-minute workouts I have. Definitely felt it!
The upper body sections hits everything, back, shoulders, triceps, etc., but seemed to just touch on each body part and not really fully work any individual muscle. I was a bit disappointed with this section, but then, they are trying to fit a lot into 20 minutes.
The instructors in this DVD are a bit lacking in personality. They aren't the most motivating or fun bunch to lead a workout, but their form and instruction is good. One lady's bizarre bra-with-a-vest outfit was a bit distracting (who dresses like that to work out...or ever?)
All in all this workout is a bit dull but effective for the lower body and abs, so I'll keep it.
