I have been working out for about 2 years. I have lost 80 pounds so far. I am not really in that good of shape, so I am trying to find exercises that I can do in my limited ability. I am not coordinated enough to do exercises with lots of movements like dancing. I bought The FIRM ultimate fat-burning workout, but I tried to keep up, I did it for about 4 minutes and gave up. What a waste of money, because I won’t ever do that again. If you like that sort of workout fine, but not my cup of tea.
I bought Valerie Bertinelli’s dvd, I love this one. It is easy to follow and its nice to see Valerie struggling a little too. I wanted a little harder workout and I saw Jackie’s Dvd on tv and thought I would try it. I love it,Love it , love it. It’s not easy, but there is no fancy steps, just a plain hard work out, and I could do it. I did struggle alittle. It’s fast and just gets to the exercise. No stupid foot work. I did the 40 minute total body circuit first. It was just what I was looking for. I am soooooo happy to find this dvd.
So I am hooked on Jackie. Just can’t wait so see the results, because this dvd I will definatly use again and again.

I have Jackie’s 1st workout and thought I would check this out. I was able to check it out for free On Demand and I love it. It’s a great workout and it made me sweat a lot!

This is definitey not “Sweatin to the Oldies” which is the last fitness tape (yes, VHS) that I had done previous to working out with this DVD. While my mom’s workout got me moving when I was a younger, chubbier teen, I need something that makes me feel like I’m working for it. And this DVD most certainly does.
I am not an avid exerciser. I always want to be and feel better when I do, but I’m no fitness buff. Coming off a two-year hiatus from exercising was difficult. I’m an average build woman of normal weight & BMI, but I feel like I haven’t used my muscles in years. The first time I did this DVD, I found muscles I never knew existed let alone how sore they could become. At the end of the first session, I had trouble walking down the stairs. My legs were that shaky.
Yet, I felt like I accomplished something. I actually did the first couple of sessions with large soups cans because I didn’t have weights. I still felt it in my arms (although nothing like when I started using 5 lb weights#. I was sore and extremely muscle fatigued the first few times I did it. However, that went away after a week, and now it just makes me want to exercise more. Things are less challenging than at the start.
The great thing about this DVD is that there’s always room to improve. If you are no longer challenged, just add some more weight! I have wimpy arms, so I won’t be adding more weight for awhile. However, it’s nice that such an option exists.
A few final critiques #although, the pros far outway these cons):
- This can only be one component of your fitness routine. Circuit training is wonderful and does give some cardio. However, while you do raise your heart rate, you’re not going to hit that “target heart rate” for maximal fat burn that everyone seems to be talking about these days. Thus, as I build up strength and get used to exercising again, I plan on interspersing the days with some cardio. On that note, you can’t really do circuit training daily and get the maximal effect. You need days in between sessions. I guess that might not be a bad thing as it could prevent boredom.
- Stretching is way too short at the end. As others have said, it’s the only way she can fit everything into the DVD in 40 minutes. I just ignore her stretching routine and do some of my own for a 5 minute cool down at the end.
- There are a few times that I wish she told the viewer exactly what muscle or area of the body was supposed to be feeling it. She was great at some parts like the chest, but I’ve never really been shown what muscle groups I should be engaging with what exercised.
Make this DVD a part of your fitness routine!!!
