From what I saw, I thought, yes, I should add this to my to do list. It looks intense and makes some bold claims to be at the cutting edge of fitness science. I saw a bit of an infomercial and read the website ( the “what you get” section). It looks to me like it’s her attempt to go more upmarket, more expensive, and more extreme, to more directly address her competitors like Tony Horton and Shaun T. I’ve just seen a new offering out there that I would love to read your review of. Future plans inspired by your reviews include Insanity Asylum, P90X2, and BodyBeast. I have now done T25, p90x3, and just got Ruthless. Lower those expectations to the level of say, Bob Ross and you’ll be more on par with this offering.ĭysfunctional Parrot! Thanks for all you do! Your reviews are great. If you think you’re going to get a revolutionary new type of yoga that is inspired as a DaVinci painting, then you expect a lot for ten dollars. There are some things to keep in perspective. Are you a P90X ( or similar ) grad or have had past experience with yoga? This will bore you to tears with how easy it is most of the time. Are you brand new to yoga? This would be a good way to break in…as long as you don’t go all nuts with the complex moves at the end of the second workout.

Trying to measure the level of difficulty really depends on who you are. For me it was a little of both as she talks a lot for a workout I generally associate with calm relaxation. However, like many trainers she will either motivate or irritate you.

She has skills and good communication, which is evident given her popularity. She doesn’t come off as a bubbly idiot or merely a pretty face for the camera, although she has a demeanor that for some reason reminds me of a female Rocky Balboa. Jillian is one of the leaders when it comes to highly affordable workout DVD’s that don’t suck. The tradeoff might make the beginner more prone to injury if they don’t back off. Instead of slowly moving and adjusting to deeper postures, Jillian instead opts to get a cardio burn. This faster paced cardio-yoga has its definite downsides.
