BACKGROUND OF JILLIAN MICHAELS’ 6 WEEK SIX-PACK

Do you want a toned and muscular core? Jillian Michaels of The Biggest Loser wants to help! She claims that she can take you from flab to fab in just six weeks with her newest workout DVD, 6 Week Six-Pack.

Jillian mixes abdominal exercises and cardio together to create a high-intensity, 30-minute workout. To help fight off plateaus, this program comes with two distinct workout levels. While Jillian designed the program to target your core, you’ll also see results in your shoulders, triceps, biceps, chest, and back. This is because many of the exercises used, such as planks, target a variety of muscle groups.

Before you pick up this DVD, you need to know one thing: it’s tough. Jillian Michaels always keeps her workouts fast-paced and high-energy, so, be ready to sweat. Most people feel the burn on day one and see its results shortly after. You can pick up 6 Week Six-Pack on Amazon for $5.99.

NUTRITION

Jillian does not include nutritional advice on these DVDs.

EXERCISE

This exercise plan asks you to try Jillian’s workout for a full six weeks. While the videos fail to specify a weekly number of circuits, we suggest working out at least five days a week. Make sure to take a break on your free days, even if you do not feel like it. Exhaustion, and muscle aches, make it difficult to reach your weight loss goals.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK FOR THE 6 WEEK SIX-PACK

On Amazon, 73-percent of reviewers gave this DVD a perfect score. Only 5-percent of users thought this program deserved less than three stars. Here’s what a few customers had to say:

• ”I have 8 or 9 Jillian Michaels DVDs, and this is one of my favorites! This will really give you a great workout; very effective for sure. “
• ”I can’t stand her voice and the way she talks in the video. It’s actually a really good workout but I gave it away because she is so annoying!”
• ”Not great, says abs and really does everything but the abs. The next day and during the workout you feel nothing in the abs.”
• 2 workouts to choose from. These are OK but I don’t love the workouts. I would highly recommend the Jillian Michaels ‘Killer Body’ DVD over this one.
• ”I have been doing this about 3-4x a week with other cardio and I am finally seeing that stubborn belly bulge shrinking. “

ADVANTAGES OF 6 WEEK SIX-PACK

This program has some good points:

• You see results from the get-go
• Exercises are fast, fun, and upbeat
• Only takes 30 minutes a day.

DISADVANTAGES OF 6 WEEK SIX-PACK

• Watching the same videos every day gets boring.
• The intensity might be too high for people new to fitness.
• Fails to acknowledge the importance of nutrition..
• You might not end up with a six-pack

CONCLUSION – DOES 6 WEEK SIX-PACK WORK?

If you are willing to work your rear-end off for 30 minutes a day, for six weeks straight, then this DVD is for you. Jillian Michaels will continue to push you to step it up with high-paced cardio and abdominal-toning exercises. But, there’s also no guarantee you’ll end up with washboard abs six weeks into the program. However, if you put in the time and effort required, you will see results.

If you need something slow-paced, or something easy, DIETSiTRIED suggests you look elsewhere.
