 Borrowed it From a Friend, But Going to Get a Copy for My Workout Video Library March 7, 2010
Kelly Klepfer (Iowa)

Immediately after finishing 30 days of Shred, I jumped into Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism. I didn't buy it because a friend had just purchased it and offered to let me try it out but I will be ordering my own copy. Here's why:
It's a darn good, fast-moving workout that leaves me feeling completely satisfied that I worked out.
Interestingly, on day one of doing Banish Fat, after just finishing 30 days of Shred, I was disappointed. Why? I almost felt like I didn't get as good as a workout as I did with Shred, it seemed easier for some reason. However, while I was thinking this over, I was still panting, guzzling water and sweating like a pig. So. Were my initial thoughts right? I don't think so. Not at all. Now after having done it several times, I think the issue is that Jillian breaks the intensity a bit so that you end up doing some of the awful moves slightly less time at a pop. Each of the 7 circuits has about 5-6 moves (I haven't really counted yet, or timed any of them) and each of those moves is done with no (or very little) rest in between and then you start over and redo them all over again before moving right into the next circuit.
Shred is three 20ish minute workouts with three different levels of intensity. Banish Fat has the same workout everyday. There is the option to do individual circuits and therefore make your own workout. Shred is 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio, 1 minute ab done in 3 different circuits. Banish Fat is 7 circuits without a specific, timed focus. One circuit is an ab workout on the floor. Two circuits are kick-boxing based. Another one is "old-school" calisthenics.
Banish Fat moves aren't easy. And each move is tweakable into easier or more advanced. Plyometrics are abundant, several of the moves require jumping or hopping. And squats and lunges are frequent throughout most circuits. Jillian explains the whys of doing moves the way she sets up the circuit. Many of the exercises in Banish Fat are included in Shred. Jumping Jacks, Jump Squats, Speed Skaters, Supermans, Plank Oblique Twists, Jump Ropes, High Knees, Butt Kicks, Mountain Climbers, Walking Planks and a few more. An estimated guess is that Banish Fat has 38-42 moves to Shred's 18-24. The biggest difference between Shred and Banish Fat, besides the time difference, is that Banish Fat uses no weights and 1/3 to 1/2 of Shred's moves do.
The reason I'm going to buy a copy of Banish Fat is because there are days I'm going to want to use weights and challenge myself in 20 minutes of work. And there are going to be days that I want to push myself to 40 minutes and get a nice sweat on. Besides that, these workouts are so good that I don't want to get sick of repetition by doing the same thing every day.

I literally just wrote a review this week complaining about how my last workout DVD purchase, Cindy Crawford's New Dimension, was way too easy. THIS workout, on the other hand, is really tough (in a good way)! Be prepared, there's a lot of high impact moves, squatting and jumping, so beginners may find this a little too challenging. But if you're looking for a workout that will really kick your butt in the cardio department, this is it! I also like that there's the option of doing the workout without her instruction, just music, so once you've learned the routine you can do it without the chatter. One weird thing, in the "bonus" section of the DVD, Jillian is hawking Oral B toothbrushes. It's definitely strange, and the video would be better without it. That said, it's not as if you have to watch it (or I ever have to watch it again), so it's not a reason not to buy the DVD.
One heck of a workout-Amazing March 1, 2010

My behind now belongs to Jillian Michaels because of this DVD. I am dripping in sweat by the time I am done. My 18 year old athlete little sister does this, too, and says it's the best workout she has gotten since she was in the middle of volleyball season. She says her school's field hockey team does it at practices sometimes.
One thing I really like about this DVD is that Jillian breaks everything down into circuits for you. Sure, it feels like there are a million circuits when you are doing it, but at the end of each circuit you feel like you are getting somewhere. You can also skip circuits and only do certain ones if you are short on time or just starting out. In fact, I still haven't done the whole thing all the way straight through. I've been doing this workout for about a month and a half, maybe once or twice a week, but it's just a killer! During the video, Jillian keeps saying things like "if you're not uncomfortable, you wont see any results!" and this is certainly true of this DVD. You get out what you put in- but it's fun (even though Jillian is a bit annoying at times) and no move feels impossible (except maybe the pikes, which I do one leg at a time).
Great and Balanced Workout DVD February 27, 2010
S. Begley (Michigan)
I rented this DVD from our local library for a group of women who workout with me. We have used it and LOVE it. It is very balanced and you can push yourself as much as you want. Great for beginners and athletes. I really enjoy the moves and the exercises. I am going to purchase it not that I know I will LOVE it!
