Jillian Michaels Shred-it with Weight fitness review

Jillian ensures you work your whole body in the workout

Jillian Michaels is a well-known US trainer and it’s for a good reason, she works your body hard and for that you get amazing fitness results.

Her new DVD, Shred-It with Weights is something you’ll want to add to your collection right now.

Her 30 Day Shred DVD literally changed my attitude to fitness and exercise and taught me so much about weight loss and muscle toning, it’s still something I go back to time-and-time again that I know will work my whole body and give me a great workout.

This new workout adds extra weight to her hard-core circuit training techniques for a total body workout designed to burn maximum fat.

The regime is designed for use with a kettlebell, but don’t worry if you don’t have one of them, a single hand weight will work just as good. I used a hand weight whilst doing this DVD and could feel the resistance, having done it a few times and seeing the difference it’s made to my body so far I’m definitely going to invest in a kettlebell and up the resistance in the workout.

Like all her workouts, the Biggest Loser US star has trainers with her doing the workout, which gives her a chance to run you through the exercise properly and explain why and how it works.

One trainer carries out beginner movements, perfect for those who want something a little less intense and the other trainer certainly challenges her body with tougher workouts and slight adjustments to movements. Thankfully Jillian encourages you to follow the plan at your own pace so you’re not rushed into doing more than you physically can.

Jillian works you hard in both Level One and Two (progress when you feel ready) and you can feel it straight after you’ve turned the DVD off and even more so the next day, but it’s completely worth the pay off. It gets easier too, so don’t feel discouraged when you struggle and persevere with the routine.

This DVD helps to burn fat, boost metabolism and tone muscles, it give you a full body workout that you’ll see and feel benefits from. It’s a must have for anyone who wants to add a new dimension to their workout routines.
