At Home Video Workout Review - Jillian Michael's Body Revolution

I've been checking out a bunch of different at home video workouts and I thought that I would try some. Some of the most popular on the market right now include:

-Jillian Michael's Body Revolution
-Insanity
-P90X
-BodyRock
-Zuzana Light's ZWOW
-10 Minute Trainer

I thought it would be fun to review some of them. Of course, this will take a long time given that some of these programs are as long as 3 months, but I am willing to put in the effort. Plus, I could use a change in my workout routine.

So, I will start with Jillian Michael's Body Revolution. Since the schedule of her workout routines switch every two weeks, that is how often I will update. In total, this is a 3 month program that includes 12 workout routines and 3 cardio routines. Weeks 1 and 2 correspond to workouts 1 and 2, weeks 3 and 4 correspond to workouts 3 and 4, and so on. There is also one cardio routine for each month. Each workout routine is roughly 30 minutes.

The workouts switch so that you always have 2 days of rest before repeating the same routine. For example,  Week 1 and 2 look like this:

Monday: Workout 1
Tuesday: Workout 2
Wednesday: Cardio 1
Thursday: Workout 1
Friday: Workout 2
Saturday: Cardio 1
Sunday: Rest

There is a kickstart week - which I will be doing - that incorporates an extra cardio workout (Cardio 1) in week 1 for each day except Sunday. This way, you burn extra calories because you are exercising twice per day.

This program promises to "completely overhaul your entire physique in just 30 minutes a day." Well, time to put it to the test!
