Fantastic workout
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I really like this workout, it’s one of my favorites. I like Jillian’s style, she keeps you motivated during the circuits, and she is tough in a excellent way. I feel like I really accomplished something each time I end the workout. I am pleased with the results. I wish there was a small bit more stretching at the end, so I do some extra stretches. Other than that I would certainly recommend this workout to a friend.
Awesome

I have a few other jillian michaels videos, and I like this one too! They all have different targets, I live how this workout gets me burning!!! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a serious workout!
Excellent, But Not For Everyone
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I have been working out with weights and personal trainers for years, and this is the second video of Jillian’s that I’ve had to discard because I always injure myself when I use her workouts! I am 40 years ancient and not all that flexible or coordinated, and I do have some back issues I have to be careful of, and even though I’m in excellent shape Jillian’s moves always send me back to the masseuse or chiropractor to get me straightened out. This is defnitely not for beginners and I’m sure for many people it’s just what the doctor ordered, but for me she is just too much. If you try it, ease into it slowly and don’t push yourself until you’re sure you can handle her moves.
worth every penny!

This DVD is no joke, as Jillian Michaels puts it. I finally found a DVD that pushes you to your limit, and you can still feel the burn days after the workout. Certainly worth the buy for someone who wants a challenge. The best part was that it wasn’t slow paced, so you sweat a whole lot too. Jilian Michaels is incredible!!

Quick Results
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Quick-paced exercise workout that targets all areas. Simple to follow with fantastic information that I have not experienced with other exercise DVD’s. Visible results within a few weeks if you give it your best effort.
OMG Can I really do this…..
in a excellent way trust me. Look long and small —= if you are not willing to give it that EXTRA push don’t worry Jillian will be there when you are ready for that extra push and then some” not an simple work out but if you pace yourself you can do it.

I am so behind in my reviews not sure if I reviewed this already – but if I did I reckon I would have said the same thing.
OK I could go step for step — but that is not my style ( breath , breath , breath) I do not break down every step – I give my “ancient” bones opinion. My God Jillian wants to kill me ……….
Kick Butt Workout

I had used the “30 Day Shred” for a few months and had lost 8 pounds and several inches from my waist, hips, arms, etc, so I wanted to try out Jillian’s other DVD’s and kick things up a notch. I bought this along with “Banish Stout, Boost Metabolism” and it’s continued to give me a diversified workout that is tough and hits all those “distress zones”. I really recommend this DVD and I can’t wait until Jillian puts out more DVD’s!
absolutely a program that certainly works

Jillian is certainly design a program that simple to follow by anyone but really works and succesfully sculpt your body. It has changes my body figure amazingly after my third baby delivery. Just do the program diligently and u wiLl see the result.
Ouch! But in a excellent way

As Jillian says, “this workout is no joke!” That’s right. But it is not impossible to do just very challenging. Some circuits are harder than others but Jillian keeps motivating you throughout the circuit. It recommends you do this five times a week which I have not. I switch and do my own workout and do this twice per week so I can’t say if the results are related to this or not. She works the abs and thighs and arms and keeps it moving which is nice. Never gets dull. Fantastic stuff but not for the weak or out of shape. My husband who is a choreographer has a hard time with it!
Burning calories? Toning muscles? It’s a excellent thing.

I used to poo-poo circuit training until Jillian’s videos. No More Distress Zones is incredible. I’ve been using it along with Banish Stout Boost Metabolism and I’m certainly seeing a difference. I used to be a jogger and now jogging seems like kid stuff. I’m getting toned in places I’ve never been toned before. My shoulders kill me, but now I have some shape there. My legs, abs, shoulders, triceps, and so on are noticeably better. At first, I was doing modified push ups and plank stuff, but now I’m getting strong enough to keep up. Woohoo!

This workout video is truley intense. I like it! It makes me push myself like I have never done before. I highly recommend this video to whom ever wants to get in shape. The video is only 40 minutes long but, that is enough because the exercises are intense. There are six intervals of three to four exercises that are done twice each. There will be a need for three pound weights to get this video done. I hope that you all delight in this video as much as I do.
This one works you!

If I could sum up my review of this DVD in one word, it would be: OUCH! I loved every minute of this intense workout and was beyond sore the next day, which doesn’t happen very often. As someone who typically works out 6 days a week running, lifting weights and cycling, I consider myself to be in excellent shape. This workout really worked me though, which was refreshing. I just recently finished my second round of P90X (also a fantastic, intense workout) and was looking for something to mix up my workouts. No More Distress Zones fit the bill perfectly. I really bought all 3 of Jillian Michaels’ DVDS (NMTZ, 30 day shred and Banish Stout, Boost Metabolism) and haven’t found one I don’t like yet!
Jillian is a fantastic trainer, but I was disappointed in the lack of cues. If you are familiar with a lot of the terminology and moves, it isn’t that much of a problem, but the first time through is more of a learning experience. The workout is very quick paced with few breaks and you really feel like you’re using time wisely. I like that Jillian combines moves to work several body parts at once, which is probably why I’m so sore today! I was also surprised that using just two 3 lb. hand weights could be so very effective. I started the workout with 5 lb. weights and quickly realized they were too heavy. Jillian even mentions that because you are doing so many reps, it’s not necessary to have heavy weights. Boy was she right!
I like that Jillian has made some innovative moves by combining moves I’ve seen/done before by incorporating weights and successfully mixing things up.
Overall, I would highly recommend this workout to someone who is looking to tone muscle and get into peak overall shape. Beginners can easily transition into this program by modifying the moves, which is shown in the DVD. I would say this is for someone who is already in honestly excellent shape.
A workout that gets results!

Like this workout DVD! It’s been about 1 month since I started it. I am certainly seeing definition on my abs, arms and shoulders. My legs are also beginning to change shape. The circuits are challenging but it’s worth the results. I highly recommend this for someone who wants to get toned.
