While I loved her most recent workouts (Yoga Meltdown and Shred it with Weights), they were very different in terms of her traditional style. 6 Week Six-Pack reminds me exactly why I started doing her workouts in the first place. It is very reminiscent of 30-Day Shred and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, with a mix of traditional exercises and some I've never seen before. She blends weight training and cardio exercises, all of which focus on the abs in this case. She explains why crunches alone don't work--you must blast off the fat over your abs with cardio in order for them to show. You never stop moving in this DVD, and you'll start to sweat quickly. It's only about 35 minutes, so it's definitely easy to fit in regardless of your daily schedule. If you want a quick but hardcore way to get ripped, this is it!

I sat down & watched this workout to get familiar with it before I actually attempted it. I got tired just WATCHING! Jillian is amazing, as always! This workout is her best, and hardest, to date.

I did it for the first time yesterday...and I am SORE today! I'm in better shape than the average woman my age (45). This winter, I'm doing 2-a-day training sessions: working out with Jillian's various DVDs @ 4am before work, then running either at lunchtime on the treadmill in the gym at work or after I get home in the evening around my neighborhood. I also do a long run on the weekend. I've run 20+ races in the past 3 years, including 7 half marathons and 1 full marathon. I'm not an elite runner, by any means; I'm more of a middle-of-the-pack runner, but my point is that I work out all the time, I'm in really good shape, but this workout KICKED MY BUTT! I had to do the 'beginner version' of a lot of the exercises, though the girl doing the beginner modifications wasn't using a hand weight. I did.

Oh, and don't be fooled just because it's called '6 week 6-pack.' You won't be laying on the floor doing crunches the whole time. As always, Jillian keeps it aerobic, working multiple muscle groups simultaneously. Your biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, and back are going to feel the burn too because a lot of the exercises are done in plank, or some variation of plank.

I HIGHLY recommend this workout! Absolutely LOVE it! Yes, I'm sore from doing it yesterday...and yes, I'm doing it again tomorrow!

If you're a fan of Jillian's style, you will NOT be disappointed!

I am 49 years old and have had 5 children. I have JM's 30 Day Shred, which I love. I needed something to help more with the abs and so I couldn't wait to get this DVD. It is all I needed and more! I love the fact that there is cardio built in as I usually do 10 minutes of jump rope when doing weight training. This one kicks butt and though I'm only on Level 1, I will progress to Level 2 shortly as I really enjoy the burn! This is a winner, will be cycling this with the 30 Day Shred and some other faves! I've lost 8 pounds since August using these videos and the trick is to do them every other day with some kind of sustained cardio (30 to 40 minutes). I usually jump rope or dance. Last but not least, DIET is key to losing! You have to truly cut out the sugar and breads.. all the carbs that bloat you, and eat more protein. Eat 5 small meals a day, balanced with protein and veggies and fruit. I have kept my calories to between 1100 and 1200 and try hard to eat only at meal/snack times and not in between (no BLT's.. bites, tastes, licks!).. I promise if you stick to a 1200 calorie balanced WHOLE FOOD diet and exercise using Jillian's DVD's at least 3-5 times a week, you WILL lose weight fast! I was skeptical, but not anymore. At almost 50 years old, I thought it would be near impossible to lose weight, inches and get in shape in less than 4 months, but I've done it! Good luck to everyone! This is an awesome DVD!
