Jillian Michaels is well-known for her role as the toughest trainer on the TV show, "The Biggest Loser." She’s a personal trainer with a proven history of getting results! Her workout routines are intense and precise because she doesn’t waste any time. You don’t need to stretch beforehand since she guides you through a great stretching segment before she starts each workout, and she even has a nice cool down section that will make you feel a bit ‘Zen’ at the end.
The best thing is that her videos are an average of 35 minutes long, and they don’t require much equipment. Here is a list of all of her current workout DVDs and a brief description so you can become familiar with each one before you buy them.
"30 Day Shred": This video is awesome. It is only 20 minutes long, and you only need a mat and a set of dumbbells. There are three levels of intensity, so the idea is to start at level one and work your way up to level three in 30 days. The video consists of circuit training workouts that are very intense. It is based on her 3-2-1 method (three minutes of strength, two minutes of cardio and one minute of abs). There is a stretch segment at the beginning and a cool down segment at the end of the video, so you get a complete workout.
"No More Trouble Zones": This is one of the toughest videos she has. It is 40 minutes long, and you will need a mat and a set of dumbbells (five pounds each).

There is a stretch segment at the beginning and a cool down segment at the end.

"Yoga Meltdown": This is supercharged yoga! It is 30 minutes long, and all you need is a yoga mat. There are two levels, and the workout will challenge every muscle in your body. It will help you increase your strength and flexibility, and is challenging as much as it is fun!
