Damn that Jillian Michaels!

This has been my first week back at work. It hasn't been as stressful as I thought it would be. In fact, having my 3 year old son home all the time is WAY more stressful. I'm working now, so I'm not really feeling the gym in the middle of the night thing anymore. I just can't function without sleep, so I've been working out during my lunch break with workout videos at home. I've been doing some experiments the my BodyBugg to see which videos burn the most calories in the shortest amount of time. I think I found the mother of all videos today.

Here's a link to it on Amazon. They show some clips there as well.


Even running, my burn rate on the BodyBugg gets up to about 9 cals/min tops. With this workout, I saw my burn rate get up to 12.1!!! It is hard. I mean like I wanted to die and my face was bright red for hours afterward, but THIS is how to change your body. I burned nearly 600 calories in an hour and half. The video itself is only 45 minutes long. She does circuits and also talks through some of the methodology behind what she is having you do and why.

I also think this Biggest Loser workout is incredible. It also got the calories burn rate up extremely high. This DVD is really cool because it's cheap and you can customize it to play the different sections in whatever order or number of times you want. All three Biggest Loser trainer are featured in this one, but Jillian's 10 minutes segment burns as much as Bob's 20 minute segment. She is a machine. It really is no wonder that she has trained most of the actual winners from the show.


Parts of these are also free on-demand if you have Comcast cable service. Good luck!
