I’m addicted!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have NEVER been a fan of strength training! I am an avid runner and would literally rather run 15 miles (really fast) than pick up a weight…until now! We all know that we need to do both cardio and strength, I just never had the ambition to do so in the past. I bought this video 1 month ago and I do all three segments in one shot 3-4 times/week (never 2 days in a row). I am seeing awesome results and love watching my body change! I went from just ‘thin’ to thin and toned! I actually look forward to this workout and that has never ever happened before! I hope she makes more videos of the same caliber! Because of this video, I now can’t imagine NOT having a strength training regime as part of my workout. THANK YOU!

workout: one-on-one training with jackie

i’ve reviewed and tried a lot of workouts and workout programs, and this one is the best because it is highly effective and efficient.

she chooses an excellent group of exercises for each area of the body and gives you a tough workout that hits every muscle deeply. however, it’s easy to modify for a beginner. just do few reps. on the toughest.

there is no waste of time or effort with too many exercises or exercise combinations that leave you feeling as if some muscles were left out. the warm-ups are quick and easy, and the stretches at the end are also quick and feel good.

what i liked best is that she works your inner thighs with squat and lunge variations that are a lot more pleasant than those old exercises on your side on the floor – and i felt those muscles during the session and the next day.

in fact, the next day, (after doing all three sections at once and modifying as needed), i did not have much soreness, was standing taller, and my abs were pulled in.

Jackie Warner’s Fast Pased Workout
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I bought this because I love Jackie and the gang from Sky Sport and Spa. Her workout tape sucks though. She moves too fast from one exercise to the other. She doesn’t explain things that well. I understand this is her first video, but I can’t keep up. I hope she makes another one and this time slows it down. She is very interesting to watch. I love her show and hope that it returns to Bravo soon.

Great workouts, OK Trainer
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I would recommend this DVD to anyone who’s looking for a short, but intense circuit training type workout.

Pros: She shows you how to modify each exercise with less intensity or more intensity. She focuses a lot on correct form so that you don’t get injured. The person showing you the exercise changes every 5 minutes or so, so it doesn’t get boring. Workouts are customizable so you can include lower body, upper body and core in the order you choose, using 1-3 workouts at a time.

Cons: Jackie is a little annoying. It’s obvious that she’s into herself when she says in a couple of the segments, “I could do this all day!” The trainers who demonstrate the exercises can also be corny.

i really felt like i was working out with a trainer…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
i have watched “workout” and although jackie’s abs always impressed me, i wasn’t always sold with her training techniques on the show. i bought this video based amazon reviews along with jillian michaels 30 day shred. i started out doing the shred and really enjoyed it. after a couple weeks i decided to try jackie’s workout — i have to say i LOVE it. the first night i did upper body and the core workouts and the second night the lower body and core workouts. the upper and lower body workouts were challenging enough that i felt like i was getting a great workout but not TOO challenging that i didn’t want to do it again. the core was much harder for me (that is the weakest part of my body as i’m sure it is for many) but i loved that she had various degrees of difficulty that were extremely easy to follow. i am pretty physically fit but this is a great workout for all levels because you can adjust the intensity to your comfort zone.

these workouts target every area of your body and includes exercises i have never done before. a definite five star — you won’t be disappointed.

Awesome workout
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I really love this workout DVD. Really. I’ve tried other workout DVDs in the past and found that they leave me too sore the next day so that I don’t even want to keep trying. This DVD workout will leave you sore, but motivated. It’s very simple and gets right to the point – each 20 minute section works one part of your body (upper, lower, core/abs) very efficiently. I like that part because I don’t have much time to work out, so I want to be able to target a specific part of my body, raise my heart rate, and then be able to do a different part the next day. There are also modifications on most of the exercises for people who, like me, haven’t done much working out in the past and are not in super great shape.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the results I’m getting

wonderful dvd
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This DVD is really a great workout. It caters to all capabilities as well. You are shown first how to do a particular exercise and then the trainers show you how you can modify it to make it easier or harder. Jackie is really good about explaining which muscles you are working out with each exercise. Although this may be a bit difficult for a beginner, don’t give up its worth it. All that is required are weights and a mat (if you are on a hard floor). Happy exercising!

This DVD gives you an hour with a quality, high priced personal trainer!!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Whether you watch the show or not, you can see that Jackie and her trainers have awesome bodies! Who wouldn’t want the experience of working out with them? I’d love to be personally trained by Jackie, but she’s off the charts cost wise, and I’m in Wisconsin, so I was THRILLED to be able to buy her DVD! I think that it’s pretty good for her first one, and I bet she’ll come out with even better ones as time goes on. I have to pry myself off the floor sometimes after she kicks my a** for 60 minutes! (I prefer to do the whole thing instead of breaking it up into the 20 minute segments) So, summing it all up, this DVD gives you the best bang for your buck…and if you watch the show, you’ll feel like you are exercising with friends! I can’t wait for her next one! I hope she’s all over that right now! Thanks Jackie!

Enjoyed this workout
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a good workout that had me sore the first time I tried it. I did find that I couldn’t do the entire section of each focused muscle group, but that’s probably because I’m not in good shape. I simply stopped that group and went to the next, which was relatively easy to do with the DVD.

I like this dvd. There are several workouts to choose from that target specific areas and you can program it to play only one or select a few to play in a row, it keeps the workout fresh and can be long or short.

Wasn’t what I hoped for
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I got the workout and must say that I was pretty disappointed. I was hoping for variations to make the workouts adaptable to your fitness level – ok for beginner or intermediate – not for advanced.

Excellent Workout for Beginners to Advanced!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is an excellent workout for beginners and advanced (hard to find!) I’ve been trying to get defined abs all of my life, and I am finally seeing results with this video. I’d have to say that even after 2 children, my abs have never looked better. I finally have obliques and really strong lower abdominals!!

The exercises can be challenging but each one is only 30-60 seconds long, so anyone can get through it. Jackie incorporates a bit of cardio after each strength exercise to get your heartbeat up, and it’s also motivating to see the trainer’s muscles while you’re doing the exercises.

You will be sore. You will be tired. But, you WILL see results!!

Great workout DVD for a non “workout” person…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am an avid pilates practitioner and have never really been happy with more traditional approaches to working out. That said, I went ahead and bought this dvd because I love Jackie’s Bravo show and I was intrigued to see her in action. I actually really like the DVD and have used it to compliment my pilates practice.

The video is broken up into three sections for core, upper body, and lower body, and you can set the DVD to play any combination of the three in any order, which is very cool. Each section is about 20 minutes long and consists of short exercise sections mixed with shorter cardio exercises (the cardio exercises are designed to reinfornce the muscle groups worked in the previous exercises). I like this approach because it’s short enough that I can easily complete it (or at least have no time-based excuses not to do them). Also, I like that each section is broken into smaller sections because it keeps the pace interesting. The upper and lower body sections each have 4 sections (alternately featuring each of the 4 trainers on the video). The abs section is broken into smaller sections, but all trainers do each section (though different trainers demonstrate modifications to make the exercises easier or harder).

The upper body section is great for me. It’s pretty challenging, although I use pretty heavy weights (8lbs). There are a few exercises that I do not use the weights on because it’s difficult, but mostly I can keep up with the heavier weights. Jackie’s instructions discuss posture heavily, and I find that doing the postures correctly challenges the core on each exercise. I appreciate this because I’m not a huge exercise freak, so any way to consolidate is greatly appreciated!

The lower body section is nice, although it can get a little repetitve. Many of the exercises are similar (mostly squat and lunge variations), although I do LOVE the final section featuring Rebecca, which focuses on lower back and glutes. I have pretty strong legs, so this section isn’t terribly difficult for me. However, this section is the most cardiovascularly challening for me.

The core section is good, although it is probably my least favorite. It’s a little too “intense” for me in terms of the energy required. The exercises are great and very effective, but I’m used to pilates which is slow and controlled, and some of the exercises move a little fast for my tastes. However, if you want an intense core workout, this is a great option. There are a few new exercises featured here that I’ve never seen before and are very cool. For example, the penguin heel taps are challenging and fun.

Overall, I like Jackie’s approach and the pacing of her workouts make them easy to stay motivated. For example, she does most exercises for 1 minute. At several times she reminds you that “you can do anything for a minute”, and this often helps me get to the end of an exercise that is REALLY burning.

ENJOY!

Training with Jackie…
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I was hesitant to buy this DVD as I am a fan of the show and witnessed the chaos that ensued when they were filming it (as shown on the tv show)… I was sad that Erika isn’t on the DVD as she’s my favorite on the show and that Rebecca was there instead and I truly can’t stand her. It was actually funny because I felt like I knew the people I was working out with, is that weird? LOL I found it amusing when Jackie would tease the trainers, especially Jesse. But I got it because I watch the show, not sure how someone would react to the interactions if they don’t watch the show…

All that aside, I was literally SOAKED in sweat during this work-out, and I’m not a beginner (I work out 5-6 times a week). It was dripping off me, literally! Therefore I don’t understand why someone in one of these negative reviews could say they didn’t burn any calories… who says you can only burn calories from cardio??? And its not like there was no cardio. If it feels too easy, increase your weight, plain and simple. I started out with 8lbs but downsized to 5lbs because of the high number of reps (which I liked!). I do plan to do this one again, it’s not my favorite but it’s not the worst. Its comprehensive, easy to follow and it gets the job done.

Just as an after thought, it didn’t bother me that Jackie wasn’t doing the exercises the whole time and did more instructing. But it DID bug me when Jillian Michael’s in 30-Day Shred doesn’t do hers… Maybe because I know the trainers in Jackie’s video know what they’re doing and arent just back-up dancers like Jillians!

Not for the faint of heart
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I would encourage anyone that is serious about getting into shape to purchase this video. It’s designed in such a way that even the less fit person can modify the routines in a way that they still receive a benefit. It’s broken down into three muscle groups. There is an upper body work out, a core work out and a lower work out. Jackie focuses on the form of each exercise, first demonstrating it, and then using a trainer’s form to illustrate. When she tells you which muscle each movement is designed to address, there isn’t any doubt as evidenced by the burn you feel. Each exercise is then shown in it’s modified or increased intensity form. I couldn’t be happier with this DVD and am well on my way to becoming more fit.

WOW! what an AMAZING workout DVD!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Wow!!! what a great DVD and at a great price! This deserves no less than 5 stars. who ever ranks this any less must be crazy. It really gets your heart rate up and gets you sweating in no time. I like the fact you can choose to do 1, 2 or all 3 sessions. The first time I tried to do all three, I did the upper and lower body. By the end of the lower body I had to stop cause I literally thought I was going to throw up. The amazing thing was after just doing the upper and lower body I could really feel it in my abs as well as in my legs, butt and arms.

This Workout Is Amazing!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is an amazing workout DVD. I am overweight and have made a lifestyle change of eating a healthy diet and working out regularly since this past February. I am losing a tremendous amount of weight, but I can’t get to my gym every day as I have two small daughters. So, I was looking for an exercise program to do at home for the days I can’t get to the gym. I love the show “Workout” so I decided to order the DVD. It truly is an amazing workout! I was dripping with sweat after the first 20-minute session. I love how there are 3 sessions so I can do one, two, or all three whenver I feel like it. I also did not find this too difficult. I was worried about that since Jackie and her trainers are so fit. But, I am by no means fit and I didn’t have a hard time at all. Don’t get me wrong – it’s hard to do, but it’s not too advanced for me. In fact, my 4-year-old daughter even joined me for fun! (Well, fun for her! Not me!) Overall, this is exactly what I was looking for. It’s going to help me build lean muscles and get very fit. Thank you!!!!!

Workout the Workout
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
If you love the series then you will love the workout just for that. Rest assured though this is a really tough workout. You choose between Upper and Lower Body and the Core. They are 20 minute workouts each. You will need a yoga mat and some hands weights. This workout is really challenging and they show different ways to do the workout for the different levels. I like Jackie’s attitude and she really pushes you to finish the whole workout. I was really surprised at the different forms and the moves. Start off with lower weights and challenge yourself with the tougher moves and increase the weight as you progress. I am looking forward to the next series.

Great Low Impact Workout
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve been using tapes/DVD’s for the past 30 years and this is one of the best!! The 1 minute break-ups, low impact cardio (although it is sometimes higher impact someone is always performing a less strenuous rep) make it a GREAT re-intro into the workout world. The 20 minute sections make it possible to do one or all–time and ability being a factor. I’ve ordered 15 DVD’s in the past two weeks and most of them are high impact and totally disregard knee, hip and back problems caused by high impact. Jackie is right on with no time wasted and easy to follow directives. Can’t wait to see what she comes out with next. J Lang

Jackie and her team are Fantastic!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
First of all I must state that I am already a fan of the Workout show on Bravo (except for the nuances of Jackie’s personal life…but whatever)so as soon as I watched the episode when she was making the DVD I immediately googled the information. And boy was I surprised by the utterly low price been offered by Amazon so of course I ordered it along with Jillian Michael’s 30 day shred. Even though I am not overly impressed with the 30 day shred due in large part to Ms. Michael’s amazingly dull and annoying personality I can say the complete opposite of Jackie. Her motivational spirit which is already evident from the show and her patient yet informative way of training is definitely one to be desired. In short I would recommend this to everyone, it is a great workout in a short amount of time without the usual boredom of a lot of other workout tapes (trust me I own quite a lot). Bravo! Jackie on a job very well done.

Comprehensive workout!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is one of the best workout DVD’s I have ever tried. It is broken down into three twenty minute workouts consisting of the upper body, lower body, and the core. This is a great idea. Many people complain that they don’t have time to workout because most workout videos are about 45 -60 minutes long (some longer!). This makes it really intimidating when you are trying to start exercising, or if it has been a while since you have had an exercise routine. But with this DVD, it is hard to find an excuse not to exercise for twenty minutes a day. And for those of you who workout regularly, you can do all three workouts at a time.

As for each of the three workouts, they are all intense. Jackie definitely makes each second count. You get in, get your workout, get out and get on with your day. I have only been doing this workout for the last four days, but I have already had my energy level shoot up. I seem to get a lot more done. I had just recently started working out again, so I have only been doing one of the workouts a day. I started with the upper body workout. I have been working out with weights, and thought I was doing pretty well. But the day after doing this workout, I was sore in muscles I completely forgot I had. Not so sore that I was useless, but sore enough to remember I had worked out the day before. The next day I did the lower body workout, and boy was that intense. There were some moves I had not seen before that really seemed to target the inner thigh. I was not able to go as deep into every move as the trainers did, but I still felt it the next day. And of course I did the core workout the next morning. I definitely had to do the modified version on some moves, but I still reached muscles that have not been worked in years.

I have to say again how much I am enjoying this workout DVD. It targets every muscle group, and since it is so fast-paced you do get a cardio workout as well. I find Jackie and her trainers to be highly motivational. They are all friendly and inspiring. I will definitely be using this DVD as my main exercise. Thanks so much Jackie!!

Absolutely Awesome!

I’ve been doing the Gilad Ultimate Body Sculpt DVDs for awhile now and have enjoyed them immensely; I just needed something new to keep working out interesting and I’m a fan of “Workout”. This DVD is the perfect addition to my weekly workouts. I love how you can modify or increase resistance. For instance, I played it conservative with the amount of weights for the upper body and next time I’ll use more, but since my abs are weaker, I did the modifications. Very customized and I like how it sets a “bar” to work up to with the more intense versions of all the exercises. I love Gilad, but this is definitely an ultimate body sculpt too!

This is a great video. I like that you can break it up and not have to do the whole 60 minutes. It also has a feature where you can select which workout you want to do together if you decide to. I must admit that even though each workout is 20 minutes it’s a hard workout since you have to do each move for a minute and it makes you realize how long a minute really is.

Way better than any trainer I’ve ever had!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve worked with trainers before and never had such diversity with my workouts. It really changed things up and made it fun. It was a hell of a work out as well. Be prepared to get that soreness that feels so good. Plus from watching the show I feel like I am already familiar with her and felt like she was MY trainer. Seeing the other familiar faces was great too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. What a great idea for her. Thanks.

Pretty slamming
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I got both Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred and this DVD. Both I feel are effective workouts. I’m a beginner exerciser so I was a little concerned reading the reports that my arms would fall off and I wouldn’t be able to move the next day. I walk 50 minutes to get to my schools to teach and I worked it just fine. In fact I even felt better than I usually do. You’ll definitely feel the burn though. The only bad thing I can say about Jackie was that I didn’t feel as motivated by her. Jillian’s “Work for it! This butt doesn’t come for free! Keep pushing! Go deeper now!” and other phrases actually pumped me up though if I hadn’t been working out I probably would have just rolled my eyes. Jackie’s relationship with her trainers is more evident and she seems to really motivate them so you’re kind of motivated through proxy but it definitely doesn’t have the same feeling. Her moves really work though and her energy and focus on good form are good. I’ll edit and repost if my feelings change but that’s the word for now.

Great for toning
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a great video for toning but not so much for cardio. I like it because you can choose to do just lower body, upper body or abs (20 min each) or you can do any combo of the 3. I was pleasantly sore after doing the whole workout and she does excercises that aren’t your run of the mill excercises so you feel it in different areas.

Good Lower Body Workout
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I just got this DVD yesterday, and I have done the workout once. It’s 20 minutes of upper body, 20 minutes of lower body, and 20 minutes of core exercises. I did all 3.

I thought the lower body section was the most intense, with lots of lunges, squats, and cardio sections that repeated movements from the weight training (like plyometric squats). I was glad the core section is 20 minutes and more intense than some of the shorter, 10-minute workouts I have. Definitely felt it!

The upper body sections hits everything, back, shoulders, triceps, etc., but seemed to just touch on each body part and not really fully work any individual muscle. I was a bit disappointed with this section, but then, they are trying to fit a lot into 20 minutes.

The instructors in this DVD are a bit lacking in personality. They aren’t the most motivating or fun bunch to lead a workout, but their form and instruction is good. One lady’s bizarre bra-with-a-vest outfit was a bit distracting (who dresses like that to work out…or ever?)

All in all this workout is a bit dull but effective for the lower body and abs, so I’ll keep it.

FANTASTIC!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been doing these workouts on Exercise TV and I am definitely getting this dvd when it comes out. The workouts are short but effective. I find I am mostly sore in the butt, back and core after doing all of these.

I burned 170 calories in 20 min doing the lower body portion. I love all 3 workouts. They all have some different moves in them and also spurts of cardio that help to burn lots of calories. I would highly recommend. Jackie is so much better than Jillian. I would take Jackie over her any day. I think if you do not watch the show Workout you will probably not really get Jackie’s style or her relationships with the trainers. I love the show and I love the workouts. They are great!

Edit 6/7/08: I burn between 450 and 500 cals doing all 3 workouts! I have done all 3 about 15 times now and have seen a lot of definition in all areas.

I have increased my weights up from 3 pounds to 8 pounds on many of the exercises (biceps, chest etc) and I am finding the workout is easy for me now. I really hope she comes out with another one that is a step up from this one as far as difficulty goes but based on her show and what a pain it was to do this dvd I doubt she has another one planned *in the near future (like I wish) anyway).

Still HIGHLY recommend this dvd. I LOVE it.

This workout is intense!! Jackie’s motto is “you can do anything for a minute!”.

I pause it sometimes that way I don’t miss out on the workout when I need a 30 second break.

Good, bad, or ugly–Jackie’s “Workout” DVD produces RESULTS!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I work out at a health club (cardio and circuit), but not regularly enough to achieve good results (at age 40+), so I was looking for a flexible at-home solution to augment the health club.

I’ll give that the Bravo reality show “Workout” was entertaining and motivating (The Good). I’ll give that reality shows in general can muck up their stars’ credibility or image (The Bad.) I’ll also give that the episode where Jackie cattily snickered about a client’s cleavage was disappointing (The Ugly).

In protest, and becasuse I’d heard good things, I tried Jillian Michaels’s “30 Day Shred”–but found her Level 2 style a tad abrasive and belittling. (If her routines are going to torment me physically, don’t need to augment that with low self-esteem because I can’t keep up with her grueling routines or burn that stubborn fat. Found myself cussing back at her on the TV…)!

So I revisited Jackie Warner’s “Workout: One-on-One Training.” Figured with a successful Beverly Hills fitness club and a rock-hard body at 40 (that my sister enviously insists is from surgery because no one over 35 looks that good without it), Jackie must be doing something right. I started with the 20-minute Core routine every morning, with the Upper-Body routine every other morning. (As mentioned in other reviews–there are three 20-min. workouts–core, upper body, lower body. I have lower-back and knee issues, so I shy away from high-impact lower-body routines.)

Bottom line: It works!

In 6 months: lost 8 lbs, 3″ from waist, 2″ from hips, 4″ from ribcage, arms and abs more sculpted than 2 decades of health club. 6 months later, I still burn (adding ankle weights and a balancing disc for core + increasing weights for upper body keeps it effective.)

PROS: Schedule flexibility (quick 20 minutes daily, or all 60 3x/week); includes warm-up and cooldown stretches + beginning/advanced modifications; motivating, personable coaching (Jackie is encouraging, but sometimes forgets to address her at-home viewer-clients); fairly good job emphasizing good form throughout DVD; includes 1-minute cardio-burst moves (more effective than just the routines–just don’t expect it to be a substitute for cardio workout–it isn’t).

CONS: Moves fast, lack of clear instruction from one routine to next (example: stands up between modified plank and bicycles–both floor routines, so keep the remote pause/rewind handy until you learn the routines); doesn’t emphasize good core form throughout core routine (i.e., press belly inward to spine, spine into floor); some routines change timing/don’t keep time w/music; severe lower-back strain with some upper-body moves where you bend over with weights (bent-over rows, rear-delt flys, alternating one-arm row–try over exercise ball or bedside/sofaside to support lower back).

RECOMMENED? Absolutely! (Esp. for beginners/intermediate fitness-seekers.)

Worth every minute
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I first experienced this workout on the ON DEMAND station provided by my cable network. ON DEMAND has tons of free things; such as movies, sports and ExerciseTV. Within two weeks of doing the workout (3-4x/week), I noticed results. The subscription ended after three weeks, so I ordered the DVD because I knew I wouldn’t keep up with the routine otherwise. Best $10 I have ever spent! For only 20 minutes per body part, you can’t go wrong. I continue to see results and am very pleased with the routine. Some tend to get monotonous but this workout is easy to follow and Jackie offers an array of exercises to keep you moving and motivated. I must admit, I’ve only done the upper body and abs portion of “Workout” but I am sure the lower body excercises will be just as beneficial to you as the other two have been for me. A definite BUY!

The video uses a combination of your own body weight and free weights so if you don’t have weights, buy some! Nothing too heavy (at least not at the beginning) – five pound free weights will suffice.

This kicked my butt!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I am a big fan of the Ripped series by Jeri Love but I have to say this workout from Jackie and her trainers kicked my butt and is a nice change of pace from the Ripped videos due to its flexible organization and the cardio intervals(Jeri Love also has an excellent cardio/strength video too…Ripped 1,000). My favorite section of WORKOUT is the abs segment! This segment is good for those days when I just feel like doing straight cardio but want to add an abs component.

Very effective.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
After doing this workout 3 times a week for a month, I can honestly say it works. I’m impressed with the results I’m getting in a relatively short amount of time. My arms, shoulders, and legs are showing nice definition. My abs are a work in progress. Even though I don’t have a six pack at this time, my abdominal bed has gotten a lot stronger.

I like that I can customize my workout depending on how much time I have. I try to do the 60 minute workout in it’s entirety but when time is limited, it’s good to know that I can break it up throughout the day.

For those who complained about the airbrushed six packs, the lighting that is used during filming tends to wash out all details. That’s why the abs are shaded in. The same thing happens with eyebrows. In that kind of lighting, it is necessary. If you look at all the cast members, they all have a low fat percentage so they more than likely have six packs but they wouldn’t show up under those lighting conditions.

I also wasn’t put off by the fact that Jackie isn’t doing the workouts. She’s there as a trainer. If you were to hire a personal trainer, they would coach you during your workouts but they’re not going to do them with you.

I judge a workout by how effective it is. I don’t care about the background or the music. I just want a workout that gives me results. This workout definitely is giving me the results. It is a good addition to my workout DVDs collection.

Good total body Workout
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I like the fact you can pick and chose the order in which you do the workout and the fact you don’t have to listen to Jillian’s type babble before you can even get to the workouts. This is a decent amount of time on each segment, I like the lower body and ab work but was a bit disppointed with the upper body. I think it’s a little rushed due to production. I think had this been a bit better cued this segment would have been better. I have done this a couple times and liked it better on the second and third attempt then the first. Jackie just needs to grow on you a bit. For the price this is well worth the investment for someone short on time and looking for different workouts on one dvd.

Very over rated
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I watch the Bravo series “Work Out” and thank god that I do because knowing the back story behind Jackie and the trainers is the ONLY thing that kept my attention during this DVD. I thought that the filming was amateurish; the choreography was lame and neither Jackie nor her trainers could keep a beat to save their lives. If I was new to exercising and used this DVD as a guide, if I paid any attention to Rebecca, I would wind up with the worst form on the planet. I would also have no clue as to what I was doing because I felt that the explanation that went with each exercise was strongly lacking in detail. In summary, this DVD was a HUGE letdown. Boo.

What a great home workout. It didn’t need much space and required only some dumbells. This workout is fast paced and hard. I was already fit but was sore the next day after this DVD. There were some nice twists on some traditional exercises too. She didn’t talk too much or too little and gave the perfect amount of intruction and motivation. Highly recommended.

Great Workout!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Like some other reviewers, I am baffled by the 1, 2, and 3 star ratings. This is a really interesting, well-presented, very motivating workout. It’s got mods up (watch Jesse) or down (watch Renessa) to help you tailor it to your strengths or weaknesses for individual exercises … I can do some well, others less so, but I can do the whole deal because of the mods. It’s a great workout, with engaging (but not overpowering) music, good cuing, and professional production.

I’m also puzzled by the comparisons to Jillian Michaels. Nothing against her, but her style turns me off. Jackie comes across as wanting you to succeed, and offers a way to get there, but doesn’t let you forget why you’re doing this in the first place!

I’ve bought so many disappointing exercise DVDs — either way too hard or way too easy, or too long, or not something you could really keep doing for the long haul. You can make this DVD into what works for you with the three 20-minute mix-and-match sessions, and the mods make it easy to get started at almost any level, and move onward from there.

This is the first exercise DVD I’ve found that I’ll actually be able to use on an on-going basis. Very good value — don’t hesitate to buy it!

The BEST workout dvd
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I absolutely LOVE this workout dvd. As a stay at home mom and army wife, I don’t get to go to the gym as often as I’d like to. This is the most effective workout I have ever done. I can’t speak for everyone, however, I noticed ACTUAL results in about 2 weeks, for example I toned up fast and had more energy! I did 20 min a day and alternated between core, lower body, and upper body. I recommend getting a good set of hand weights for this dvd. The best thing about this dvd, she uses weight training and cardo, and there are different levels of each movement, and for each targeted area you work every muscle group. Its the best!!! I HIGHLY recommend this dvd if you want to GET WORKED!!! I also highly recomend her clothing line!!

Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I bought this on recommendations from other reviewers, but I can’t say I agree with the positive ones. There is a lot of “L.A” in this dvd, which I find a bit silly. There is much focus on appearance and hairstyles, and not so much on making the workouts interesting or especially challenging- with the exception of the ab section. The dvd is broken into 3, 20 minute sections which focus on different body parts. I would rather have a workout that combines them into one. Perhaps I didn’t research it well enough. Totally bought into the hype. Sending this one to the Salvo.

It combines strenght with cardio, instructors change, there is not much repetition and 20 minutes goes by before you know it. I do one workout per day, although you can do all 3 of them at once, but I’m not in that good shape. My favorite is upper body workout.

This video has changed my life. It has three 20 minute workouts: Arms, Legs, and Abs. I do it four times a week with a Legs and Abs combo twice and an Arms and Abs combo twice. It is really incredible and I have seen major results. The workouts go really fast and the exercises are really effective. I started with 5lb weights and have moved up to 10lbs in two months. More than that, I can now several push ups– which I have never been able to do before. I highly, highly recommend this video!

One of the best Workout videos
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
If you have limited time and want a great workout, this is it. Weight training is broken up with portions of cardio that work the same muscle group. You will feel the burn! Moves are simple & Jackie explains correct form, how, why etc. This is the mark of an excellent instructor. The music is great – not cheesy like say, Power 90 (which I also use). In this video, you basically do one minute of each movement, you can do it at your pace. Jackie Warner is tough, straightforward but friendly and likable. I never tire of watching this DVD as I have others.

Coming back after an injury, I did all segments on this DVD and found that my strength improved even after the first workout. When you are working muscles correctly, they respond. What’s nice is that you can break up Upper, Lower and Core into different days if you want, or do the whole thing. I supplement this DVD with power yoga and aerobics for a very well-rounded workout. Hope my opinion helped

I love this video! I watched her reality show and saw the taping of it…then found it on demand through my local cable company. I started doing all three segments (core, lower and upper) every other day, while running on the other days (2-3 times per week). I saw dramatic change and felt so much better very quickly. I bought the DVD to ensure I can continue if its not on demand anymore. The ONLY reason I gave it 4 instead of 5, is there are a few confusing cues and directions along the way. In the upper portion…she states several times that you either “should never lean back on these exercises” or “should never lean forward”. A little confusing, which would be even worse if someone were new to this type of exercise. Also, it would be nice to see a “real” person in her video…not a professional trainer who has never had children. But, overall this video rocks!

Call me a pig, but I like looking at beautiful women. And this video has some of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. The workouts themselves are a little on the lite side, but you can always increase the weight or do another section. What I like is that Jackie is encouraging without jumping around, praising Jesus, and screaming like Billy Blanks and his daughter on the Tae Bo workouts. And to the guys, you’ll be too distracted from Rebecca, Renessa and the rest. And for the ladies and gay guys, there is requisite hunky muscle guy. All in all, I definitly recommend!

The Best At-Home Workout DVD
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am not incredibly active, and let me tell you: THIS KICKED MY [...]! Yes, I was in pain after a couple times doing just one of the three sessions, but isn’t that exactly what you want?! I would highly recommend this to anyone. I have used many workout dvds, and found that this is the most effective. Why? Because it does not bore you! My problem with most workout DVDs is that the lead person is either too slow or annoyingly perky. Jackie is exactly how she seems on the show–like a real person. It also helped that I have routinely watched the show. If I am entertained by her reality show, then I already have an interest in her and the trainers (which kept me focused). I also like this DVD, because you can build your own workout. You can do just one of the three sessions, or you can create your own by “adding” another workout. I want everyone to try this DVD, whether it is your first workout DVD or your twentieth…it will probably be the last one until she comes out with another!!

I have been working out for a couple of years now. I have tried a large variety of workouts from kickboxing to the ball workout, etc. I am 45 and I have to say I really enjoy this workout. It really is like having your own personal trainer in your home. I try to do all 3 sequences in one shot and it is very challenging but well worth the results. I like the option to break the workout up if I only have time to do one or two sequences. I always see a difference in my shape the day after doing this video. Jackie does a great job explaining form and the trainers simulate each move in a very easy to follow fashion. The price is excellent for such good information.

This DVD really works you out! It is a great cardio/weight combo and I like that it is broken into three twenty minute segments. I do all three now and it takes the full hour, but as I tone and firm I plan to cut it back to core and upper body, then core and lower body. Her instructions are very clear and she helps you keep focus on your form while also encouraging you to hang in there! I would certainly recommend this video to anyone looking for a cardio/weight workout. As I said before, I really enjoy this workout.

These routines are definitely not for beginners – I’m a fairly fit person, and was definitely feeling sore the day after I first tried out this video. Each segment is 20 minutes and the 20 minutes always fly by! Jackie and her fellow trainers are energetic and do a great job of motivating you to keep going. The workouts can easily be adjusted to be more or less intense by varying the weights that you use.

I definitely recommend this video to anyone who can become bored with slow-moving workout videos and who wants to see results quickly!

Jackie Makes Working Out Fun!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Love this work out DVD! I like Jackie’s show Work Out and it makes it fun to feel like you “know” the people from her show and they are working out with you.

You get different levels to choose from when working out by following one of the instructors.

Jackie makes it fun. She mixes up your work out with boxing, aerobics, and other different types of exercise.

I learned some new exercise moves with this DVD. I like that as the same old same old can get boring. You feel special working out with this group as they are located in the exclusive Beverly Hills and people pay an astronomical price to work out with them. You are getting all of the “secrets” for a VERY reasonable price.

I am a freelance writer on Associated Content and I wrote in detail about this DVD. I give it 5 stars~! Get working out now with Jackie!

Effective
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
These three segments – upper body, lower body, and core – each provide a great toning workout on their own or when combined together as a longer program. They are very effective routines for an intermediate exerciser and could still provide a good workout for an advanced exerciser because the routines can easily be modified to increase the intensity. Jackie is motivating, especially when I am getting tired towards the end of a sequence and need to push myself to keep going. I really liked that she focused so much on instructing her viewers about doing the exercises with correct form. I recommend this DVD.

Incredibly boring, but effective workout
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
If you can withstand the exceptionally boring presentation and unmotivating banter, then you will get a good workout. The setup is good, where you can choose whether you want to do upper body, lower body or your abs. But that’s just the menu. Jackie is sarcastic and not amusing. Her motivation is limited to “you can do anything for a minute” and the guidance on perfect form is minimal in the workout portions. Even her trainers seem like they don’t want to be there, so why would I want to do this workout ever again?

I used this dvd a few times simply because it was a quick and effective workout, but the mind-numbing aspects have moved it to the bottom of my workout list.

This is some workout! None of that mamby pamby stuff, but some good serious exercise. This DVD has it all with upper body, lower body and core workouts featuring Jackie and four of the instructors from the Bravo series Work Out, Jesse, Rebecca, Augustina and Renessa. All of the exercises are pretty intense and if you haven’t worked out in a while you’ll need to take it slow and work up to full speed.

I have a large collection of exercise DVD’s but this is one of the most serious, and based on my pain this morning, one of the most effective ones. It’s fun to watch and not one that will get old quickly. Having seen the instructors on the TV show adds interest to the work out. Highly recommended.

Super Intense but Super Great Results
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love this DVD!!! I usually don’t write reviews about items I have purchased, but I have to write one about this because it is one of the best workout DVDs I have ever used!!

If you’re looking to get in shape, this is where it’s at. It is a super intense weight workout mixed with cardio sections to specifically target the areas just exercised. It’s a great design. Some of the moves are incredibly challenging, but do-able especially with the positive reinforcement intermixed from Jackie and her trainers.

I am a pretty active person and this workout really gets my muscles sore and I have seen terrific definition in just a couple weeks. The DVD is also great because you can choose to do all 3 (upper,lower,core) workouts consecutively or individually choose and the DVD automatically plays your selection back-to-back. (The core workout is extremely challenging and when chosen with one or two other workouts it is always last, so I like to play it first so that I am not worn-out by the time I have to do what’s already a strenuous workout.) Get your water bottle ready, you’ll definitely need it after the cardio sections.

This DVD actually makes me sweat (coming from someone that doesn’t break a sweat very easily). If you want great results, stick with it and do at least one of the exercises daily. Get your bootcamp mentality ready because Jackie’s definitely going to give you a swift kick…but totally worth every second. The 20 min segments are great and are broken down into shorter segments which makes them seem concise.

Great for people who enjoy a good workout and feeling sore. All the exercises can be made more simple (for beginners) or stepped up a notch (for the over-achievers).

I cannot say enough good things about the DVD…I absolutely love it. I just wish there were more DVDs from Jackie b/c I love her style.

“If it’s not burning, it’s not working!”-Jackie (a perfection summary of all 3 exercises)

Good work out for the price
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I bought this after wanting a piece of the show at my home to work out with. I consider myself to be in decent health and I work out often but this is the first “conventional” work out I have ever done. The routines are hard but since each movement is only 1 minute, it doesn’t feel so bad. Actually, during the entire work out (60 min), I didn’t feel winded or anything. But afterwards when I was finished I could really FEEL every muscle in my stomach and my hips, which felt amazing! AND while doing the dvd, it didn’t even feel like it took a hour. I felt like I was only doing it for 20 minutes..which is great…it moves very smoothly and keeps your attention.

I gave this four stars only because I think the airbrushed abs for definition on the trainers is cheesy and unnecessary. However, this does not take away from the quality of the work out. I only recommend that if you need constant motivation to keep going and need a trainer to hold your hand, you might want another video. Jackie does a good job of motivating you but it isn’t the first thing she says in a given segment. This is okay because I can keep myself motivated, but if you can’t look elsewhere.

Turns out all the drama was for a good reason. Recommended!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I watch Jackie’s show on Bravo and thought she was pretty much a neurotic drama queen in the episode where they made this DVD. However now that I’ve actually done the workout, I think that Jackie’s a perfectionist and wanted to put out a good product. She has succeeded.

This workout is one that can be done by all fitness levels. I normally think I’m pretty intermediate, but found myself using the beginner’s modifications on the core section. It’s nice to have something to work up to, I suppose.

I recommend this as an exerciser who is constantly seeking out new routines, as a person who lives in a cold climate and doesn’t always feel like going to the gym to get a good workout, and finally as a Bravo junkie.

Great Workout
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Love this work out. The warm up is quick just the way i like it and the 20 minutes on each section go by pretty fast. you may need to lower your weight from the weight you usually use because each set is 1 minute. that minutes seems like 3 minutes. Love this DVD can’t wait for jackie to come out with another one.

I have watched Jackie’s Bravo series “Workout” and thought to try her plan since you really don’t see all that much exercise going on on the show. It’s okay but I have bought better exercise DVD’s like Jillian Michaels ‘30 Day Shred’. I think that Jackie needs to get back to basics and stop believing her own hype.

This is a great workout. Lots of variety without the burn out. I especially like the rotation aspect of it.You can customize it.I get bored very easily. This one I do not, I love the workouts are 20 min apiece you can do the full body for 60 min or upper,lower,and core separately I also really like Jackie’s direction and cuing.The exercises have a different spin to them ,but are easy to master I am 43 and find the workout very effective.

Where Calories go to Die
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Jackie Warner’s “Workout” is one of my favorite workout dvds right now. The other is Jillian Michaels’s “30 Day Shred.” My main form of exercise in the past was running, but I reluctantly gave it up when my knees became a limitation (I like to workout hard almost every day but my knees can’t take the punishment of even slow running more than a few times a week). Also, running takes a lot of time, and, as a dad to a newborn, I do not have a spare hour except after dark, which is a miserable time to run in the winter. “Workout” is a perfect replacement for me because it offers three hard workouts that I can do at home in the evening regardless of the conditions outside. The workouts each take all of twenty minutes and allow me to push hard without experiencing any knee pain. After logging in dozens of workouts with Jackie and her crew, I feel leaner and stronger than I ever did as a plodding runner.

I work out several times a week and this video kicks my butt. My boyfriend is a fitness freak and the ab workout kills him as well. The video has various levels of strength incorporated so you can make the workout fit your own personal level. I love it. It’s a great video to have if some days you just don’t have the motivation to leave your house for the gym. Because you can get just as good a workout (or even better) right at home.

Wish there were more. . .
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
As a fan of Jackie’s Work Out series, I was looking forward to getting a taste of what it is she actually does. And I’m not disappointed.

I would recommend this workout to any beginner or intermediate excerciser because Jackie does a great job of explaining the form and technique for each excercise. And as someone who still has trouble perfecting the proper form of a squat, I really appreciate it. She’s also enthusiastic without being annoyingly perky. Same with her trainers. Each of her 4 trainers is featured during every workout and they are very likeable without being annoying. Also, if you watch the show, you will recognize a few of their personality traits emerging (especially Rebecca) as they workout with Jackie.

The workouts are grouped into 3 separate areas, upper body, lower body, and core. You can build your own workout in whatever combination you like. Each is 20 minutes long, which for me is the perfect amount of time to get in some strength training during the day. You need minimal equipment — just handweights. I’ve done each workout so far, and I plan on continuing until it bores me (as all workouts eventually do). Still, this one was under $10 bucks when I bought it from Amazon, and it is well worth the money, even if I tire of it in a a few months. I would recommend it to anyone.

Tough Workout!!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This workout tape is split into three 20-minute routines; one for upper body; another for lower body and one for abdominals/core. Each routine is very intense. I think that overall this is a good workout tape, however, some of the exercises are done too fast. For example on the lower body workout, they do a series of front and backward split lunges. To do these properly and without hurting yourself, you need to concentrate on form, not speed. I don’t think Jackie does much to emphasize form over speed and therefore, this is definitely not for the out of shape or beginner exerciser.

Jackie Warner’s One-on-One with Jackie DVD is awesome! She has three segments that take only twenty minutes, yet they are very challenging and effective. You can do just one, or combine them to make a longer, more challenging workout. Jackie’s routines go by fast, but they truly work! She focuses on lower body, upper body, and core.

Great Workout
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I tried this DVD based on the good reviews and I feel I got my money’s worth. I’m always looking for new toning DVDs so I can vary my workouts. I found that the upper and lower body sections were good, but not as advanced as I would have liked. That being said, she did throw in some new moves I’ve never seen before so it’s definitely great for variety. The core section on the other hand was TOUGH. It may have been the same intensity as the other 2 sections, but that’s my weakest area so I really felt this one. I saw a couple of reviews complaining about the lack of real cardio. This is a toning DVD with a little cardio thrown in to give you a little break from the strength training. Don’t buy this if you’re looking for a cardio workout. I reccommend it though if you’re looking to do some toning.

EDIT: I wrote this review the morning I did the lower body workout. It is now the next day and I am majorly feeling this workout. I would change my rating to 5 Stars.

I love this workout. One segment, only 20 minutes long gave me sore muscles. It’s easy for beginners to do and will definitely benefit advanced. For those who watch the show on Bravo – trainers are being themselves, which is good, and they are not over excited about their routines (some DVDs have that and I hate it).

I recently had twins and was on bedrest for 3.5 months during the pregnancy. Before I had the twins, I was a personal trainer and a D-1 athlete who was training for the olympic trials so I know what a good workout is. I had watched Jackie’s show on tv before so when I saw the workouts on exercisetv I thought they would be great to try. They are great in length when you are trying to fit a quick workout in especially for a new mom with twins. I was sore from the legs workout for about three days the first time. The upper body workout didnt make me sore but I have been picking up two 10lb boys 24 hours a day for three months now plus their carseats. I just did the ab workout. I will find out tomorrow if I am sore. I love how the cardio is incorporated into the workout. I decided to buy the dvd because it is perfect for this time of my life now since I cant get to the gym. As well as it is getting me back into shape post=partum so I can try to qualify for the Olympic trials this June in the discus.

I been doing lots of Firms DVD’s since 2000, but decided to buy this one because of the price & also I watched her series Workout. Let me just say that it is hard and I exercise about 5-6 days per week, and that includes running. The Core part was the most dificult of the 3. Great exercise DVD and time goes by very fast since it’s only a minute per exercise. I am doing this DVD(the 3 parts) 3 times a week for almost a month, and I am seeing changes in the way my upper body looks. My shoulders and back are looking more defined. This DVD really works if you do it 3 times a week. You will sweat a lot and will want to do it again since you will start noticing changes in the way your body looks. I am extremely happy I gave Jackie a chance. I love this one.

A Great Workout for Major Muscles Groups
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a really excellent workout. Jackie concentrates on the major muscles groups (the “cheat” muscle groups), to give you a good, challenging, time-effective, form-conscious workout. Jackie is an excellent trainer, offering tips and suggestions on how to complete each exercise with perfect form. The fast-paced twenty minute segments are great for those looking to cram in a quick workout. My only complaints are that Jackie tends to neglect some of the less prominent muscle groups, such as the lower back, and the outer/inner thigh area. The inner thigh segment (done by Jessie during the lower body workout) is pretty crappy and ineffective, I would not recommend doing some of the movements in this segment as many might injure themselves (the drop step and the high impact military knee ups are a big no-no). Supplement this routine with a good Pilates workout that concentrates on those minor muscle groups and you have a near perfect strengthening workout!

I was disappointed with the lower body part because it is mostly squats, which I try to avoid because of knee problems. The arm workout is great, and easy to follow. The abs part combines an abs workout with aerobics with makes it a lot harder than most abs workouts that I have done. But all of the abs exercises include an easier version which allows me to keep up with the fast pace. I do the arms and abs 2-3 a week, but use a different lower body video.

I have tried and used many workout DVDs. This one is great because it has three target areas in three twenty minute segments, AND has adequate stretching. I do not believe some videos stretch out the muscle groups that are being worked on, and this absolutely hits all areas. I love to do these during my lunch hour, and still have time to have lunch, PLUS do some cardio mixed in. They are perfect for the intermediate or above, if you do all three consequetively.

I got to do a 25 minute preview workout from this video. I did the upper body portion. And let me tell ya I am not going to be able to move my arms tomorrow. This work out is not something I would recommend for beginners. It will definitely seem intimidating at first. But if you just do as many reps as you can then you will definitely be able to build up to keep up with Jackie and her trainers. Its a great workout. Jackies queuing is perfect and she gives lots of tips on keeping good form. All you need for this workout is a pair of light hand weights and you are good to go. Another workout similar to this one that will cause equal amounts of pain is the Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred. Give them both a try if you want a very challenging workout!Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred

Awesome Workout, for all Levels

I never watched Jackie’s show on Bravo, because the idea just didnt interest me. But after going through Nursing School and realizing that I need to reclaim my fitness again, I checked out this video….And I LOVED it. I am not your typical fitness person, I dont want an annoying chirpy instructor nor do I want a dog in heat….I want someone who is motivating without being saccharine and who has created an exercise regime that is fun to do, but one that you can feel immediately. Otherwise, why do it?

Jackie has broken down her workout into 3 segments: Lower Half, Upper Half, and the Core. And each one is just wonderful to do. I break a sweat each time, and it allows me to increase the intensity level as needed for each workout.

I highly recommend this product.

I LOVE WORK OUT and love Jackie and the trainers so of course when I saw this DVD I had to get it. Today I did it for the first time and honestly I am pretty out of shape compared to what I used to be…I loved this dvd I did all three 20 min workouts together and plan to do them 3 times a week, I have to say by the last 20 min doing core I was pretty exhausted and I am def feeling it. I really think this is going to a great jump start to start shedding these pounds…the dvd is great and you cant pass up the price. I am def excited to see what Jackie can come up with next, I would love to see something more intense, like a great cardio DVD to really burn some calories!! You have to get this DVD!

Great strength workout
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I got this after reading a positive review of it on SparkPeople by Coach Nicole.

I was very pleased with it. It really works you as hard as you want it to, Jackie shows you variations on all the moves, and she stresses proper form. I like that it’s broke up in 20-minute workouts (one each for upper body, lower body, and abs). You can do one, two, or all three. I also liked how she fit in some cardio in each segment, it’s great to get more burn by raising your heartrate. Each set of exercises are done for a minute, and you usually do 2-3 sets, then 1 minute of cardio, and repeat this sequence until it’s done. Each 20-minute segment has a warm-up and a cool-down.

I love this DVD and would tell anybody looking for a new strength training video to try this one out!

WHY ARE THERE SOO MANY HATERS????
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I was seeing negative reviews for this video??….but I watch the show…and I saw that on the show Jackie struggled with making a video that was not cheesy….stayed away from the leotards and jumping up and down…

Usually there is always some truth to the negative reviews…but after getting this DVD….I see there is alot of “haters” out there….

Or maybe its the guy she fired from Skysport making up negative reviews to hurt her sales…

Let me just say….this video is hard….not impossible..but hard….for the intermediate…although a beginner has the modified versions that they can work with.

You feel it….

As a person who is an avid runner….I love when I feel similar pain .. that feeling of muscle fatigue…..although not howling in agony..I do feel a resulting stiffness with this dvd..

There are some great twists on the traditional excercises….and some new ones that work great…

I wouldnt compare it to the Biggest Loser DVD…apples and oranges…due to the words of motivation and the trainers.

If you watch the Biggest Loser…you know that these are really obese people who need to be nurtured and loved…to achieve their goals…

Jackie’s video assumes that you have passed that stage ..and are ready for the next level- that you just need alittle coaching to get you through

They are both great videos….

I would say this video…is like P90x ..but not cheesy and not as intense…

Try it out……Im sure that you wont be dissapointed!

I love this workout! The first time I tried this video I wasn’t expecting to make it too far before having to quit. But to my surprise, I finished all 3 segments. This is one of my favorites so far because it doesn’t seem like an hour of exercise (at least not until the next day!). I like the fact that she spends a full minute on each exercise instead of just 10-12 reps. You have time to work on form and really get it right. Plus there’s enough time between trainer changes to grap a drink of water throughout the workout.

This workout kicks your butt and burns mega calories. I was a “Firm” believer, but their workouts just weren’t buring the calories I needed. Jackie’s workout burns double the calories compared to Firm’s. A 20 minute Jackie workout burns the same as a 40 minute Firm workout. The exercises are challenging yet easy to follow. In 3 weeks I have definitely seen new definition that I did not get with the Firm workouts. It’s fun watching her with the other trainers. This is good for beginners or advanced. Just add more weight to increase the challenge. There were new exercises I had not seen before and I love them!

I really have liked this video. Having watched the Bravo! series with Jackie Warner, I was interested in trying the work-out video that she and her trainers put together. Just like the show, Jackie has a good approach and style – she pushes you, and stays on track, but she is encouraging. I like the modified Core work-out too as some of the harder exercises are hard on the back. The video at times seems a little thrown together and slightly unprofessional, but not a big deal. I like the break-out into 3 different routines. My favorite is the Core. I think if I stick with it religiously I may obtain those elusive 6-pack abs someday!

Worth the workout
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
THE GOOD: The workout is good and tough but definitely not for a beginner. The set up is pretty simple, and every exercise is done for 1 minute, you get 20 min of non-stop upperbody, 20 of lower and 20 of abs which are divided into different chapters so you can choose to do all 3 or select the part you want to work on that day. Also, the workouts cover all of your muscle groups.

THE BAD: Although there are modifications for some of the exercises you would still have to understand good form to make sure you execute them correctly – most of the instructions she gives are pretty quick. The painted-on abs is pretty cheesy and the ‘team work’ attitude was so fake.

Aside from that I think it’s a good workout for a very reasonal price. Enjoy!

Great variety and excellent workout for the intermediate exerciser!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is an excellent DVD with 3 circuit workouts (each 20 min long) that have a specific focus: Upper Body, Core, Lower Body. It features Jackie Warner with four of her trainers: Jesse, Rebecca, Augustina and Renessa. While the trainers all do the warmup and stretch together, during the weight training Jackie works out one-on-one with one of the individual trainers. She has them do the workout while she gives them pointers on form and motivation, except in the core workout where they all workout together. She is encouraging without being cheesy.

I really like this workout and felt it provided an adequate challenge for the intermediate and perhaps the beginner exerciser who really wants a challenge (as there are some modifications shown). There are some new and interesting moves as well as some old favorites, so you get a great amount of variety . You do approximately one minute of each weight training exercise and for every 3-4 strength moves you do, there is also 1 minute of a cardio move. It moves at a fast pace but not so fast that you feel intimidated. You’ll need light to moderate hand weights and a mat. Come on, you can do anything for a minute!

I will give an approximate breakdown of each workout, with the moves performed and the trainer who is actually doing the move while Jackie tells you how to do the move correctly and sometimes shows a modified version. Remember you do 1 minute of each move.

********** Upper Body Workout*********

You start out with a short warm-up with arm circles and boxer twist, then you get into the workout.

>Augustina

-Bent Over Rows (back)

-Rear Delt Fly (delts)

– Cardio (30 sec each): Jumping Jacks & Ski Bunny

>Rebecca

– Modified PushUp (Chest)

– Kneeling Kickback (Triceps)

– Lateral Raise & Front Raise (shoulders) – you alternate between one

one arm doing the lateral raise and the other lifting to the front.

– Cardio: Boxer Twist

>Renessa

– Alternating One Arm Row (back)

– Hammer Curl (biceps)

– WV(basically a shoulder raise in a different position)

– Transverse Fly (shoulders)

– Cardio (Knee-to-Elbow)

> Jesse

– Fly & Press (chest)

– Skull Crusher (triceps)

– Lateral Raise (shoulders)

– Military Press (shoulders)

– Cardio (Speed Bag)

Finally a much deserved cooldown with all the trainers.

********** Core Workout **********

You start out with a brief workout including core rotations, squat with wood chop, overhead squat. In this workout they all workout together and Jackie mostly goes around and gives excellent form pointers but she does the moves sometimes, too. Renessa shows a modified beginner version of the move and Jesse sometimes shows an advanced version. You do each move for one minute. There are a few stretches interspersed throughout, because your abdominals will be sore.

- Crunches

- Clam (The soles of the feet are together with knees out, as you crunch)

- Plank (you hold it for one minute)

- Cardio: Mountain Climber & Plank Twist (30 sec of each)

- Bicycles

- Figure Eight (while sitting on the floor you lean back slightly and alternately clap your hands under each leg)

- Side Plank Rotation (30 seconds on each side)

- Cardio: Torso Twist

- Straight Leg Tap

- Scissors

- Penguin Heel Tap (really targets the obliques)

- Cardio: Half Burpees

- V-sit Extend & Flex

- Side Roll

- Plank Variation

- Cardio: Fast Bicycles

Finally, a much deserved stretch.

********** Lower Body Workout *********

You start out with a warmup mainly using a half range of motion: little pulse squats, side lunge, front lunge, backward lunge. Again, you do each of the moves for 60 seconds, and hand weights can be used on most of the exercises.

>Augustina

– Squat

– Front Lunge

– Box Squat

– Cardio: Frog Hop & Shuffle (30 seconds each)

> Jesse

– Plie Squat

– Backward Lunge

– Drop Step

– Cardio: Jump Lunge Shuffle & Military KneeUp (30 seconds each)

> Renessa

– Sumo Squat

– Front Diagonal Lunges

– Sumo Squat with Drop Step (the drop step is basically a curtsy squat)

– Cardio: Knee Up Jog & Squat with Side Kick (30 seconds each)

> Rebecca (this part is done on the ground, so you’ll probably need a mat)

– Bridge

– Reverse Scissor(lay on your stomach and kick your legs over each other)

– Three Quarter Kick (similar to a Donkey Kick)- 60 seconds on each side

You finish off with a nice lower body and back stretch.

**********

Overall, you will definitely feel the burn and see results with this one. It is well worth the price and Jackie is a master trainer.

Workout: One-On-One Training with Jackie

I really like this dvd. It is a great workout. You can choose which area you want to work on and it is 20 minutes per area. You can do all or only part. Also like that it is strength with some cardio. This is great for me as I am 55 and need both. Good for beginner and advanced.

I really liked the upper body segment. Jackie and one other trainter (they took turns) would do the moves and focus on detail. It helped it go by superfast!

Then the Abs segment was different. Everyone did it all together. It was a really good workout! I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do all three segments in onw day. I started the lower body and my legs were burning so much I had to stop!

great workout for only a 20 min. time commitment!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I first used this workout on my cable on Demand. I was very impressed. The core workout is awesome, you definitely feel it. Then I tried the lower boby and that felt great. Lots of lunges and Squats which are very effective. I liked that workout so much I decided to try the upper body the same morning. I used about 5 to 8 lb. weights. she covers all the chest, back and arm groups. What I Like best about all of these is that Jackie puts cardio in about every three ot four minutes. Quick little bursts of cardio definitely keep your heart rate going. I feel like I get a good mix of strength training and cardio. I would reccomend to anyone who wants an effective workout but doesn’t have half the morning to get it done!

Excellent workout
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I picked this up based on the reviews that I read on Amazon and they were right – it’s a great workout. I haven’t seen the Work Out series on Bravo, but I’d heard that it was good. Jackie is the star of that program and I only wish now that I could see this.

This is a body targeted workout that uses interval training to get it done. There are three programs and they each focus on different body parts; upper body, lower body and abs. Each are fairly tough going but very effective. I’ve done this twice already and I’m as sore the second time as the first. I enjoy it though and have fun doing it which is the main thing because it’s making me want to do it again. All you need are some dumbells and some space and almost anyone can do it. The combination of weights and cardio are what make it most effective and I feel like I can already feel some results.

Overall, this is a fun and enjoyable workout that makes you work hard and burn a lot of calories. I love it.

Great all around workout!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
After seeing this workout video on OnDemand while on vacation, I bought it as soon as I got home. It is a great all around workout with three different sections (upper body, lower body, and core). You can choose to do all workouts or one, or a combination. I liked that they had options to either minimize a specific move or to ramp it. The routines were very easy to undersatnd and do, and I was definitely feeling it after each one! I use to do my weights at the gym after my cardio workout, but now am doing this on my one hour lunch! Definitely recommened!

Like having a personal trainer in your home
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I worked with a personal trainer for two months in the past and of the three weight training DVDs I’ve tried so far, this is the closest I’ve come to having that personal trainer again. The Prevention Fitness System – Personal Training DVD was the first I tried. The exercise was easy and it made me sore the first time I tried at (after a couple years of not working out on a regular basis and some pounds gained), but the second time didn’t really do much for me. Next I tried the The Biggest Loser Workout: Power Sculpt DVD and that was better than the first DVD, but still not terribly challenging either during the workout or in soreness afterwards.

I tried this DVD last night, and let me tell you, I couldn’t keep up! I had to pause the DVD a couple times to walk around and catch my breath, and sometimes I could not keep up for the full minute during the workout because of the burning. This was mostly with the modified version of the workouts. Despite the toughness, you do get a better workout because Jackie is very encouraging and motivating. She would frequently tell the home viewers that they could do it and to keep going, almost done, keep going even if you can’t reach as high or go slower than the trainer in the video, and so on. I was definitely sore today from that workout in most of my body(biceps, triceps, quads, delts, traps, etc). It’s also great because over time I can switch from the modified version to the normal version, and for some workouts, the advanced version. I can also increase the weights I use to increase the toughness.

I’m very happy I found this DVD because I found something that is challenging to do during the workout, it made me sore afterwards so I know I’m growing muscles, and I know I will be able to make the workouts tougher for myself as I get in better shape over time. And best of all – I don’t need to pay a trainer $xx/hour for it and a gym $xx/month, just the one-time cost of the DVD and a couple weights & pad I already owned.

One on One Training with Jackie

I love this DVD. This one really works every muscle in the body. I felt each muscle worked the day after. My legs felt like jello after the workout. I did the whole 60 min. because it was such a good work out that I hated to stop. You can break it up into the 20 minute intervals though if you like. This will for sure be one of my favorites , if not my very favorite. I like the ones that really work your body. What’s the point in doing a DVD if you can’t reap the benefits of it?! Awesome DVD!

I bought this workout because I like the show however once I got it home it was lacking. It is ok for beginners but I think Jackie is not the best trainer or motivator out there. It was just ok for me.

Great DVD
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This DVD is simple to use, effective, and can be customized. It comes with 3 different workouts (Upper Body, Lower Body, and Core) that are 20 minutes each. You can pick and chose which workouts you’d like to do, which I find very useful. The workouts themselves are simple and challenging, but not too difficult. Jackie is an awesome trainer and is easy to follow. I love when she says things like “You can do anything for one minute” because it just pushes you that extra step.

All in all this DVD is great, I’ve been using it for a few months now and I’ve seen decent results. My only complaint is the lack of adequate stretching after each workout. Not a big problem though as I know how to stretch on my own. I look forward to Jackie’s next DVD!

Beachbabe1984 on Sun, 20th Sep 2009 3:14 am 



You can do anything for a minute!!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This DVD contains 3 twenty minute workouts that focus on upper body, lower body, or the core which you can do together or separately. Each workout is comprised of intervals of both strength and cardio moves that are done for a minute each. Generally, for every four strength exercises, there is one cardio move that follows. In all likelihood, you’ve seen most of the exercises on this DVD a thousand times before – squats, lunges, crunches, bicep curls, etc. However, for what this tape lacks in fun factor, it definitely delivers a tough workout. I can always feel my muscles the day after (especially my hip flexors for whatever reason). In addition, the minute-per-exercise approach is great for motivation – as Jackie says, you can do anything for a minute, so it motivates you to push through.

For each of the workouts, Jackie is in the lead with four trainers behind her. In the upper and lower body workouts, Jackie works with one trainer at a time. In the core workout, all the trainers are working out at once. One demonstrates beginner modifications while another shows advanced modifications. A purely aesthetic complaint is the incredible amount of makeup each trainer is wearing ALL OVER their body. I sometimes find myself staring at their abs and wondering what it must be like to be slathered in bronzer there. Also, I find myself staring at the other trainers in the background during the upper and lower body workouts – it seems like a waste that they’re doing nothing and sometimes they look quite bored.

Overall, I think this is a highly effective exercise DVD for the short amount of time required for each workout. It’s not necessarily the most fun you’ll ever have, but it certainly does work.

Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve tried all 3 workouts and I’m quite impressed with this DVD. I love that there are 3 separate workouts and that they’re only 20 min each. Also, they show easier variations of most of the exercises, if you’re a beginner. I think this will be a great addition to what I’m already doing and hopefully cut up my body a bit, by doing more reps with lighter weights.

My least favorite workout video
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I really wanted to love this video as I do love Jackies show and also love to workout and have a great workout dvd library. However, it’s my least favorite one. Not only is the workout broken up into 3 parts, upper body, core, and lower body…well, let me start there. The workouts may be great if you’ve never worked out before but not only will you do so little in each area that you shouldn’t feel any soreness or muscle building, but the cardio is so sparse that your won’t have much caloric burn either. My heart rate monitor (the top Polar model) showed I, therefore, burned fewer calories in doing this workout than any other workout dvd I own (the Biggest Loser or S.W.A.T. dvds are great…they mix up core, upper body, lower body with great cardio so you burn lots of calories while gaining muscle). I burned 60 calories during this workout. I typically burn 200 or more. My abs were a little sore after the abs section the very first time, but I felt nothing on upper body or lower body later or abs the second time I did it…The ideal workout has a good balance of cardio and strength and alternates muscle groups. This doesn’t provide. You’ll typically do just all upper body in a workout, or just lower body, or just all abs so you get bored since there is no alternation…and there isn’t nearly enough cardio to burn fat.

Just not well planned out as far as ideal workout. And, because I have a heart rate monitor, I know my fat loss was minimal during this routine. I had to get on my elliptical trainer for 15 minutes after I did her workout in order to sweat at all. I now use this video as a warm up only. Love Jackie, proud of her for standing up for all that’s right and helping to change negative stereotypes that shouldn’t exist…but sorry to say,I dont love her video nearly as much.

I have enjoyed and appreciated the workout DVD. The excercise programs are good and they can be modified to fit one’s fitness level. The only problem I have with the DVD is the instructor, Jackie. I don’t like to say it, but she comes across as a very annoying person/personality. I know that is kind of petty, so overall I would say that the DVD is a good addition to a person’s fitness routine.

This DVD is great! There are 3 different 22 min. targeted exersize groups, upper body, lower body and core. The first time I just did the arms and the next day I was so sore. All the workouts are great, they are not boring at all, they mix it all up and they do everything in short increments so you don’t get to wiped out from doing the same thing over and over. There is a reason Jackie Warner gets paid so well for being a trainer and its not just because she has a TV show it’s because she really is an amazing trainer. Give this a try, I usaully get bored with fitness DVDs but this one is perfect. Have fun!!!

All That I’d Hoped It Would Be!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I received this DVD as a gift from a friend who knew I was hooked on Jackie’s TV show & wanted her DVD as soon as it came out. As a 50+ woman who was very athletic in her younger years, I have stayed active through various activities including yoga, pilates & dance. I have good weight & muscle tone but needed a little more to fight the “hormonal change pooch” & keep my bones strong. The weight training helps keep bones healthy & this workout sure burns off fat! That little layer forming that awful “pooch” is melting off nicely. After only 10 days, both hubby & myself can see a noticible difference. I definitely work up a sweat & feel the burn but really feel great afterward. I truly enjoy Jackie’s workout & her training style. Although this is not an advanced workout it IS challenging & beginners should definitely modify when they first start to avoid injury. This IS a perfect intermediate workout. Remember, “You can do anything for one minute!”

This is a killer. You will feel the burn! I was surprised at how low the price was, I was going to buy it anyway-what a bargain. Before I bought this I thought it only had strength training but was happy to find out it had cardio and strength. It moves at a fast pace and I like that you don’t do too much of one thing, it keeps moving. Right about when you think you can’t do anymore, your done. I must mention that I am VERY out of shape and I could only make it through the upper body segment and a small part of lower body on my first try but I am eager to try again because it was actually kind of fun. Time went by fast while doing this. Jackie really mixes it up so you don’t get bored. I like the core segment- She gives lots of alternative ways to work your middle other than boring crunches-which I hate. I like that when Jackie says your almost there, you actually are almost there. Nothing more annoying than trainers who tease you. Note to those trainers: It is not motivating and only makes me want to quit.

Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I began exercising regularly about six months ago, alternating resistance training with cardio work and yoga. I do not belong to a gym and so rely largely on video workouts. My favorites are the Biggest Loser series, Jillian Michaels routines, and a DVD called Yoga For Every Body (With Over 35 Routines). I’ve lost over twenty pounds and am now at a healthy weight and can really see the results. I no longer get winded like I used to and am starting to see some great muscle definition.

I can’t say enough about how much I like Jackie Warner’s new video. One of my favorite things about it is that she has broken down the three routines into Upper Body, Lower Body, and Abs. So you can alternate days thus giving your muscles time to rest and repair. This is a HUGE draw to me. Each routine is about 21.5 minutes including the warm up and cool down. The warm ups and cool downs are also uniquely designed for each specific workout.

The exercises are quite varied and you feel like you’re getting a thorough workout. They are mostly strength training with some cardio interspersed throughout. She also gives you modifications to make the exercises easier or more challenging.

Throughout the routines, Jackie’s great about telling you exactly which muscles you’re working, why you’re working them, and where you should feel the exercise. Her attention to form is excellent which is so important when you’re working out on your own at home and don’t have anyone to tell you if you’re doing an exercise properly.

This video is definitely going to be a staple in my exercise repertoire. I hope there are more to come because this is exactly what I want in an exercise DVD!

Incredible results!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am absolutely amazed that there are people disappointed by this video. I have used it about 3 times a week for 2 weeks and ALREADY I can see visible results – particularly in my abs. I have NEVER been able to force myself through an entire workout video due to boredom, but Jackie’s program has incredible variation and the one-on-one style of the upper and lower body segments simply make the workout FLY by.

For those who are complaining about a lack of cardio in the workout, I recommend wearing a heart rate monitor, especially during the lower body segment. I have found that this workout keeps my heart rate relatively high – only about 10-15 points below my avg while running. I’ve been doing all three segments at a time, and generally burn at least 550 calories.

This video is INCREDIBLE and my only hope is that Jackie makes MORE!

Better than a personal trainer.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this on a whim. Having seen a few episodes of the Workout series and seeing that it was only $10 I found it to be a good deal. So when I popped it in yesterday I was amazed at how quick yet effective each workout is. Jackie’s motto of “you can do anything for one minute” really seems strangely motivational. She doesn’t yell during the home video like some other trainers, which is a big plus. Her attitude is more “you can do it” than “you better do it while I yell at you to do it longer!” It is very refreshing. Jackie also points out where you should be feeling the burn in every single exercise, making it easy to determine that you are doing the exercise properly. In addition to being an intermediate level video (which is really difficult to find!) she shows how to progressively make the exercises more difficult, along with doing them for a long period of time.

Really, Jackie’s “you can do anything for a minute” attitude combined with her knowledge about the body makes for a great video. This is the best $10 I’ve spent in a while!

DVD workout junkie
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Overall, I liked this workout for the variety of moves and challenge provided – hence 4 stars. I would say definitely not for beginners though. The big gripe I have is that the moves are not in time with the music – they are mostly off the beat or a mix of off and on the beat so hard to get used to – I just went at my own pace to avoid annoyance with this. The second gripe is that some moves I think are way too fast to be safe. In particular, the roll to the side with both legs – again you can just slow up to modify. All that said it is a solid 3-set workout and the 20 mins per set has you feeling it.

One Word-Intense
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This work out kicked my butt. The fact that there are very little breaks make 20 minutes fly by, but it also makes it REALLY challenging, especially the lower body work out. One thing that challenged me was keeping up with the cardio in the lower body work out. If it got tought, I resolved to marching in place just to keep from stopping.

Overall, the upper body work out was my favorite, really worked the triceps and those are hard to reach.

Jackie may not be the most charasmatic host, but she sure will work you out.

You’ll burn fat, have fun and tone muscle – a real workout!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Jackie Warner was born in 1969 in Fairborn, Ohio. She’s a fitness trainer and owner of Sky Sport and Spa in Beverly Hills, California.

For those of you who have never seen her, she rocks. Nearly forty, she looks great. And she knows how to train people. In fact, she trains stars in Hollywood.

I love this video. Jackie has an engaging personality that makes you want to push yourself and enjoy what you’re doing.

I timed each session and they run true to what they say . . . twenty minutes each.

The instructors consist of Jackie, three of her female trainers and one of her male trainer.

The video starts off with a short promo for her show on Bravo. That’s okay as the video isn’t expensive. But when you pay for something, I prefer not to pay for an advertisement. It’s short, however. You may not even notice it.

The upper body is high reps and lighter weights. I’m used to heavy weights and low reps. But this is better for older people and it’s great toning and cardio. If you want to go for muscle mass, you’ll have to go another route.

This is really fast-paced. But the exercises are broken up in minutes. So you don’t get overly tired. At the same time, you burn fat and get toned.

The music is good for working out. It’s not too loud but you’re aware of it. It keeps good time to the workout.

Jackie gives good instruction. She is, after all, a true expert at getting people into shape.

This is not a girlie girl workout. No aerobics. I like that. There are a few jumping jacks and military-like cardio moves; some boxing moves. These are great and done in short spurts.

Jackie tells which muscles are being engaged in each exercise.

Each workout ends with a stretch, which is really necessary and good. It’s a great cool down and allows your heart rate to go down and muscles to relax.

Some instructors have you stretch before the workout with weights. I’m not sure which is best. But I prefer to do it afterwords.

The only equipment you need is a mat and your choice of dumbbells. You’ll want the weights to be light enough to use for one minute or so for each exercise but heavy enough to tone. So it totally depends on your current strength. You might hurt yourself if you go too heavy. So it’s better to go lighter than you think you need until you do the workout at least one time.

The important thing is, you’ll burn fat and tone up.

The video is broken up into three twenty-minute workouts. The first one is for the upper body. The second one is for the lower body and the third is for the abs and core.

Twenty minutes isn’t a long time. But you’ll know you’ve had a workout after any one of these. Of course, those brave and hardy souls who just have to go gung ho can do more than one session if they choose.

One thing I like about the lower body workout is that the lunges are not deep so they’re easy on the knees. After the warm up there are sixty second squats. These really work the gluts, hamstrings and quads.

Then you’ll do a front lunge. Again, you don’t need to go deep. And, you can add weights for extra resistance if you want. Advanced exercisers will probably want to.

This is really a full body workout.

Jackie tells you how to keep your posture, your form. Jackie says on the video that you’ll want to increase your weights as you do the workouts more often.

You’ll get cardio in the lower body workout too. Between the weight sessions is a short period of fast cardio. Generally boxing and jumping routines.

You’ll engage your abs in most of the exercises.

“You can do anything for a minute,” Jackie tells the viewer. And that’s true.

I suggest you watch the video before you do any of the workouts. That way you’ll know where you might want to modify.

The lower body workout, like the previous one, ends with a stretch. A few of the poses are wonderful yoga poses, such as the child’s pose. Then, you go into the pigeon, another wonderful yoga pose and it feels so good.

The ab/core session begins with a nice warm up. Then, Jackie leads the team in crunches. Here I have a minor problem. Jackie has been quoted as saying she did not do crunches. She has fantastic abs to be sure. But her claim is she does not do crunches herself.

To quote Jackie herself, “I actually do not do crunches. This is one of my buzz phrases, `Crunches are a waste of time.’

She continues, “Crunches are not going to get those abs. How you get those abs are actually lifting with a big muscle group such as chest, back, legs and butt. The more muscle that you have on your frame, the more fat you literally lose or shrink.”

But, in all honesty, this video has only a few crunches. The rest of the ad/core workout uses such things as the plank and twist.

I’ve found that most all weight lifting and body work uses the abs. And strong abs are important. There just not for looks. You need them to lift groceries, the baby and even to reach things on high shelves. Notice sometime when you do these things . . . you’ll feel your abs if you have good strong ones.

I judge the core/ab workout as excellent. It combines yoga poses with some really tough exercises and they really engage the abs. You’ll also get cardio. You’ll get the burn. And you’ll burn fat and build muscle.

Of course, this session, like all of the others, ends in a nice stretch session.

The ab work is very effective and it works.

I rate this 5 stars. It’s terrific for any level except hard core weight lifters. And it’s good for men and women both although I expect more women will want this video.

It’s not aerobic. It’s a real workout and I believe you’ll get real results if you do it.

Highly recommended.

I thought this was a fairly good workout DVD. Jackie and her team are definitely engaging and personable but the workout was too fast paced using too little weight to really help anyone do anything but get their heart rate up.

I really like this video for the most part. It’s a good workout and sort of reminds me of Jillian Michaels. There were a few new moves that I learned. Jackie leads you through the workout and only one person works out at a time. I will rotate it with my other videos.

Great Workout!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have done this workout twice now. The first time, I really liked it. The time went by so fast. I was never bored and felt motivtated, and like I had not wasted my time. I am 49 years old, and intermediate-to-advanced. Whenever I try a new workout, it’s usually either too easy or frustratingly difficult. This was perfect! And the bonus was, even though I workout 3-4 days a week, I was sore in several places the next day! Wow! That doesn’t happen too much anymore. I tried it the second time yesterday, and today I am only sore due to the pushups. But I still really was impressed with the workout. She gets the job done! I will say, after viewing other’s comments, I have to agree that her trainers’ abs certainly do look enhanced with some type of shading. They are fit enough that I find that insulting to both them and us. But as far as the workout itself goes, I highly recommend this to anyone. Beginners can do fewer reps, lighter weights, or do one section at a time. Advanced can increase weights and do the more advanced modifications she shows. I look forward to trying some of those as I improve.

Great workout video
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is an excellent workout video. It is divided into three workouts: upper body, lower body, and abs. It also has different intensity for each of the workouts. I really like it because it gives a variety to my routine. Plus, it combines moves to work different parts of the body at the same time. I have a gym membership, and I’ll go and do cardio but I like to come home to work out with this video, especially the abs. The abs is really tough and I have no doubt that doing this ab workout three times a week will get me to having those abs I’ve always wanted. I highly recommend it. I also recommend the Crunch Bootcamp, but it does a whole body workout, so you’ll need a day of rest in between strenght training because you can’t separate the workout.

My roommate and I just bought this DVD and it’s great. You definitely get a good sweat just a few minutes in, but you can push yourself to get through it. But boy are you sore afterward! I appreciate that on many of the exercises, Jackie shows way to modify the difficulty level depending on your fitness level. Good buy!

It is a good work out
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
There are several vitriolic one star reviews here. After completing all three segments of the video I found this strange. While I understand what makes someone like or dislike an exercise video is very subjective, it was hard for me to see how someone could *hate* the exercises in this video. The only thing that I could conclude is that some of the reviews are actually reflecting the reviewer’s personal thoughts on the trainer. I’m more interested in the quality of the work-out in the video. In that regard, I can say that I really like this DVD. For me to stick with a DVD I need variation and this DVD delivers that. There are three segments so I can do a different one each morning. At first I didn’t think I’d like the fact that for the upper body and lower body segments she works with one trainer at a time but this wound up being my favorite feature of the video. There are four trainers so I knew that after the second trainer, I was at the half way point – this helped me push through the segments.

I loved this show and I work out often; average workout gal. Jackie moved so quickly I couldnt keep up with the changing moves. She would just “annouce” the next move and by that time the “deminstrator” was already 3 or 4 sets in WITH NO EXPLAINATION ABOUT FORM or structure. It takes a viewer a few mins to look at the TV, listen, get their weights, and into place. By that time I have missed most of the routine. I wish I could get my money back on this DVD. On a positive note (there are some good workouts on this DVD (if you move quick enough). Disappointed….

This is a great workout that combines upper and lower body strength training with abs and cardio. You can choose to do 1, 2, or all 3 of the 20 minute workouts and each of them are really great. Jackie and her staff are entertaining, and the video is great whether you watch her reality show or have never seen it. As a health professional, I brought this dvd into our gym and a lot of the members really like it!

Decent workout
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a great video for beginners, as Jackie does teach you several basic “staples” to have in your lifting collection. Jackie breaks it down into three sections: upper body, lower body, and core. She then goes through several moves with 1 trainer at a time (except for the core portion), commenting on form and other elements of the exercise. The moves are then followed by a brief cardio portion (2 minutes). The cardio ranges from ski bunnies to jumping jacks to jabs.

Overall, its a good video, although I expected more from it. I know on the show, Jackie does say she didn’t prepare enough for this video & it definately shows. Still, it is a good beginning video, and I found the abs portion to be pretty challenging.

this is a great workout video. for the most part it’s not full of cheese and ex-cheerleaders screaming at you. it’s more like she is your own personal trainer. her workout takes parts from various exercises and sports, from boxing to yoga. she takes time to really focus on each particular spot: upper body, lower body, and core. another neat feature is the dvd allows you to make your own workout. so you can do just one of the three workouts or you can choose which ones to do, so say you just want to do upper and lower body, well all you have to do is choose those ones. beware, you will feel the affects of this dvd the next day! so get ready to be beach ready in no time with this dvd!!!

Love this DVD….
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Just stared Jackie’s DVD a month ago and do it 2x a week and am starting to see results. When I first tried it I couldn’t do some of the exercises for as long as she did but now I can. When you first do it you will be very sore the next day but it feels good to know you are working muscles that you normally don’t. It’s very fast paced and goes by quickly and you will work up a good sweat. Love that each section is just 20 minutes. Jackie says you should do it 3x a week or one section per day. I’m working up to the 3x a week. The abs/core section has one trainer showing you a modified less difficult version and one trainer showing a more advanced version. It’s great though cause you can always increase or lower the intensity by increasing or lowering your weights. If you like working out at home this is a great DVD for that. You will get an awesome workout!

Difficult but Fun Circut Workout
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This workout was hard but fun and fast moving. It consists of three parts so you can interchange the workouts, but believe me, doing two of them a day will make you sweat up a storm.

Very good challenge to your stamina, however it provides the cardio workout that a circuit training workout provides, not one that a one hour jog around the neighborhood does. (Those two vary in their results, in my opinion.) This will definitely make you stronger and more toned. I think even doing this workout a couple times a week would be enough to get the toning and strength. Concentrating on cardio for the rest of the week would make it even better.

I bought this DVD assuming ‘oh yea I know who that is I’ll try it’ and man was I blown away. It’s actually pretty intense while still being sutable for beginners. And when your doing the exercises you just want to stop but believe it not her ‘boot camp’ attitude keep you going and encourage you to never quit. What I really love is that it Never gets Boring or repetitious. She switches it up every 60 seconds. So your never stuck counting or waiting to do something else. It really keeps me going. After 3 days i could feel my buns lifting and after a week of the abs/ core set, i already started getting a two pack! lol thats a huge step for someone who hasnt exercised in two years! This is by far the best workout DVD I own. It’s the PERFECT solution to not have to haul yourself to a gym everyday. I looove it!

So-so but there are better DVD’s.
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I like the show on Bravo and I like Jackie’s no BS attitude when it comes to working out but the workouts on the DVD are just OK. The workout as a whole is confusing and there isn’t a lot of fluidity between each exercise. The two trainers in the front doing modified (tough and beginners) were great to watch and helpful. The other two trainers (Rebecca and Agostina) were terrible and like watching 2 dead fish. Jackie was motivating but with 2 non-expressive, boring to watch trainers behind her it made it difficult to stay motivated.

The Biggest Loser DVD’s are better workouts with better trainers and better people on the DVD’s.

I love the core and upper-body segments. Jackie is great at reminding you to pay attention to form. The lower-body segment moves pretty fast, so I’d recommend that newbies practice correct lunge form before beginning the segment. Each segment transitions between a series of one-minute exercises followed by a cardio boost exercise, so you’ll always be feeling the burn in one muscle group or another. I’d recommend this video to friends.

I would recommend this product to anyone. There are modifications for the more difficult/challenging exercises if you are not in shape. And modifications to make the exercises more challenging if you are in shape. The three circuits offer a complete body workout. The DVD has a great pace with great tips to ensure you are doing the exercises correctly. This DVD helped me get in shape for summer in addition i also run 5 days a week. The combination helped me drop weight and tone my body. I plan on continuing to use this DVD. It has been one month and I definitely notice the difference and can see more muscle definition.

Of all the workout DVDs that I do, Warner makes my abs burn like no one else!! Her Core workout is definitely the best there is. Plus I like her style, straight-forward and very down-to-earth.

There are 3 different routines on this dvd, abs, lower, and upper body.

Jackie doesn’t really give you a whole lot of tips on how to do the exercises but it’s easy to follow.

Altho its a little slower than some of the other work out videos I have done…I feel the burn after:)I like that the work out are split into 3 20 min workout(upper body, core, lower body). Makes it very easy to combine with your normal routine and easy for a beginner like myself. I like that you can make it more challenging. They may be simple excersizes but they work. The 20 mins flies by because they switch up the trainers every so often. I have noticed faster than other routines that my arms are toning up and I dont even do it as consistent as I should.

I just have to rave about One-on-One Training with Jackie. It is the bomb! It is an excellent strength-training workout that is varied and never boring. There are three 20-minute long workouts: upper body, lower body and core. Today I did upper body and lower body. I was never bored. The routines are varied and challenging yet not overly so. And I can’t say enough about Jackie Warner. I really like her style. She is not brash or loud. She provides just the right amount of encouragement without being patronizing. And she’s all about form so she takes time out to say what position each part of your body should be in as you do the exercise. I sweated and breathed hard but I feel really good. Initially, in fact, I was only going to do one routine today but I loved it so much, I did another. If I had more time, I would probably do the last one! I give this one five stars for sure!

Her team of four trainers each take a routine set within each session. The workout combines a variety of movements so it is never boring. Adaptations are provided so beginners and advanced users can benefit from the series of workouts. I’m hooked. It’s a burner, so be prepared to sweat!

Watching the show ‘workout’ i could tell Jackie is a little hardcore- so i decided to ease myself into these 3-part workouts slowly. hardcore is what i need, just not BAM all at once!

i just received it yesterday, and not wanting to get my a*s kicked too bad, i thought it would serve my interest to do just one of the 20 minute sessions, to try and get used to the pace and how she operates.

needless to say, i still got my bum kicked! i did the Abs session, and while the exercises are oldies but goodies, it BURNED! but in the good- ‘im working it!’ way im quite sore this morning.

My favorite aspects :

1) Unlike Jillian Michaels, Jackie tries to motivate you and keep you going without being ridiculously CHEESY. Her motivation works!

2) She has four of her trainers do the exercises behind her, and two of those trainers show moderations of each exercise- one easier, and one harder. It caters to all levels of fitness

I highly recommend this product to anyone!

I was able to preview the entire workout through my subscription to Exercise TV and let me tell you this workout is amazing. There are three parts, each about 22 minutes. Upper, lower, and core. I am a workout addict and have tried pretty much all the top videos. After doing these for only a couple weeks I already have a 4 pack and am seeing definition in my arms. Low weight combined with lots of reps. Jackie and her trainers definitely know what they are doing. Jackie charges $250/hr for her training services at SkyLab and for just $13 this DVD is sure to bring about similar results. Try for yourself!

short but intense!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
The good thing about this workout dvd is there are three 20 minute segments and each segment targets a different part of your body: upper, core and lower. So you can do one at a time or all of them if you want a longer routine.

20 minutes is good because it’s short. But it is intense- Jackie utalizes every second in each routine going from exercise to exercise quickly so you get some cardio in as well as strength training.

The other good thing about this dvd is her trainers show you different variations of all the moves so whether you are a beginner or more advanced you can do each move on your own level.

I do this with Jillian Michael’s 30 day shred and the results I’m getting with them is amazing. The main thing with exercise and being successful is you have to stay consistent and don’t expect miracle results. Results will come if you continue, don’t even give up and be patient. If you do an exercise routine and only give 50%, you will only get 50% results. You get what you put in.

Great workouts, perfect setup!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I loved Jackie’s style on the Bravo show and was excited to try this out! I’m in reasonably good shape, though not a bodybuilder by any means, and I found it to be QUITE challenging – not so much that I couldn’t keep up, but enough to make it more than worth my while!

I also love that it is segmented into Upper Body, Lower Body, and Core, and that you can do one at a time or combine them any way you like. That is a great feature for people who may only have a short time for working out and who like to rotate which body parts they strengthen on each day.

This is sort of unrelated to the quality of the workouts, but being a fan of the show, I like watching the interplay between Jackie and her staff. I feel almost like I’m working out with friends. Really, really, really fit friends.

I tend to buy a lot of workout videos and never use them, and this is one I keep coming back to both for challenge and convenience (nice short hard workouts are the way to go). Great job Jackie!

One on One with Jackie
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I could not wait to get this DVD! First let me say that 2 weeks ago, my body was aching alot more than it normal does. I am obese at 5′10 and 290. So I mustered the courage to get on the scale and saw that I had put on 20 pounds (was 270). That night I thought to myself “oh he#@ no” and went through my kitchen and threw out the chips, chocolate cookies and everything that had sugar in it. Jackie says that sugar is the devil!

I am now eating grilled fish and chicken with green salad, using olive oil and lemon juice as dressing. I have increased my water intake to about 3 liters a day where as before that is how much pepsi I would drink. Looking back i’m thankful that I never got diabetes.

So my dvd arrived! I started out with core because I think it will help with lower back pain. I know the weight pulls at my spine. AND OH!!! the core workout had me catching cramps in those muscles that I never use. I somehow ended up in the floor curled up in the fetal position from the pain. Luckily my hubby was at home and reminded me of the “cobra” stretch in yoga and that worked the cramp right out. I started the dvd over and actually got through the whole 20 minute core section and have done it few more times. I feel better now and it almost seems weird but the more i work on the core, the less i want to eat. Granted I started out eating an embarassing 3,200 calories a day, now i eat about 1,400-1,500 and am down from 290 lbs. to 278 lbs.

Something about it is different this time. I have made a true commitment! My hubby thinks its so sexy when he sees me working out! LOL

I’m not even at my goal of 170lbs. and he can’t keep his hands off!

I strongly recommend the dvd to anyone. My body still aches but for a totally different reason now> And I am seeing results and my self- confidence is beginning to shoot through the roof!

Nice compact workout
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a great workout if you are in a time crunch. It lets you choose the order and combination of lower, upper body and core workouts. Each workout lasts 20 minutes but of course you can be your own gauge. Jackie shows some excellent and effective moves. Also all moves are pretty uncomplicated, they can be challenging but it is not like you stare at the screen while the instructor rushes away without you. I like its pace and I like that the moves get harder within the routines. Great job Jackie!

Fantastic video, but not for beginners
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love this video! I’m a fan of the show and now I’m a fan of this workout. I’ve never sweated so hard in my life. This thing gets you going and keeps you working hard every minute. I wouldn’t recommend this for beginners, however. The various moves, time of repetitions and overall continuous movement are something you have to work towards. I thought I was in pretty good condition until I tried this video. It knocked me on my butt the first time I did it. But now, I’m hooked!

Sore to the Core

This video kicked my butt and I felt sore in places I didn’t know I could. It’s great because it shows different levels of intensity and screaming at the TV doesn’t get you in trouble with the trainer.

Best workout video ever!

This is the best workout video I have ever purchased, and I have lots of them! You will get excellent results. I couldn’t finish a repetition the first couple times I did this.

WOW, I’ve liked the show from the beginning. But I LOVE the DVD and the workout is Fantastic! My new favorite workout and you can’t beat the price. If you want to improve your body, this will do it!

Wow…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I only did the upper body portion of the dvd so far and I must say that I am HIGHLY impressed. I don’t care too much that there really isn’t a lot of cardio. I just wanted the toning. I do have to say that my arms and shoulders burned after 20 minutes. My goal is to break the workout up into three workouts that way I am exercising a different area a different day. I walk and play DDR on playstation in workout mode daily. Thank you Jackie and to the other trainers.

Great workout at a great price
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I picked up this DVD mainly because of the show and the incredible price. I was not disappointed. I liked how the segments are divided up and on the main menu you can select the videos that you want to perform, meaning if you want to do just legs and core, you highlight both and when it plays, it leads one segment into the next.

Overall this is more like the boot camp style workout that Jackie talks about on her show. It has made a nice addition to my other workouts to shake things up a bit. You will feel it the next day. The 20minute segments make it great to fit in on those days when you don’t have that much time to fit into an entire workout.

my butt is on fire!!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I tried the workout for the first time yesterday and let me tell you, my butt and inner thighs are burning today!!! I love that the whole workout is so fast paced because it makes it harder to get lazy and give up, you just want to finish since every exercise is only a minute long. But don’t let that fool you, that minute can really be hard. I went through the entire workout but at the core I was so tired and in pain (I’m a beginner) that I kinda gave up here and there but it’s definitely something you need to work up to. The core is the hardest one since you really need to focus on form so maybe I’ll switch and do it first next time. I do feel much better today though. I’m at 120 lbs and a little out of shape so this video will definitely get me toned up and that’s all I want. And the bits of cardio that Jackie puts in the middle of each set are a plus. Overall this is a good video. The hour just flies by and in the end you feel good about yourself that all areas have been targeted. The price definitely beats gym prices and the inconvenience of actually taking out time to go to classes makes this an excellent investment. This is a perfect video to get toned up and get your heart rate pumped up (for those ppl who have a sedentary lifestyle like me). I am very hard at getting motivated to work out but I am actually looking forward to doing it all over again tomorrow!

I prefer the training style and directness of this video. It feels real, not contrived and obnoxious. The workouts are challenging and effective.

Challenging, But Doable. You’ll Feel It!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’ve done the three workouts featured on this DVD though On-Demand’s Exercise TV. To build on what other reviewers have said, these are just really effective, doable workouts that offer modifications for people at every level of fitness. I love Jackie’s manner in these workouts, and really feel encouraged when she’s telling “me” that I can do it. (Normally I curse instructors under my breath while I’m exercising, so this is a sign that she’s pretty effective in providing motivation!)

Many of the exercises featured in these workouts can also be found in other programs, so they’re obviously considered effective. I was definitely sore in the beginning, though in time my body has adjusted to the workouts. My solution is to take a week or two off of Jackie’s workouts, trying something like dance or other whole body exercise programs. When I get back into Jackie mode, especially the upper body, I’m hurting all over again. -The good hurt that makes you want to show people your muscles! I’ve recommended this to friends and family, and everyone agrees that it’s a great and effective workout.

Love it!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This video is fantastic. I would consider myself to be at an advanced intermediate level physically and this really kicked my @$$. I like to mix up my routine every few months and I’m usually not happy with videos b/c they are almost always for beginners and just not hard enough for me. This one is definitely a good one and fits into my workout routine!

Buy this now!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
All drama on “Workout” aside, this dvd is REALLY good! Jackie is a great trainer because I’m a notoriously unmotivated exerciser but she got me up and even enjoying it. This dvd does everything right: the exercises are really effective (you feel them!), you break a sweat, and there’s modifications for beginners and advanced viewers. The 3 20-minute segments are great because you can program however many segments you want to do. Jackie is a great teacher because she motivates you but isn’t cheesy, hyper, or annoying. The trainers are all great-looking but you can see that they’re very fit and look like real people, not just models. I hope that more dvd’s are in the works from Jackie!

I really like these handy 20 minutes workouts. Very focused, challenging, and I always feel great afterward. First time I feel like I see concrete results on my body.

Good exercises, strange energy level.
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I like the actual exercise, but this isn’t my favorite video. The energy is low and each trainer does one section while the others sit in the background and watch, which is much less than inspiring. I do like the combination of weights and cardio, though.

Buy “30 Day Shred” instead
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I’ve never seen an episode of “Work Out” but I was looking for a good interval training DVD with weights and thought this one work do the trick.

Pros:

I like that you can break the video up into Arms/Legs/Abs. Even though I prefer working large and small muscles at the same time. It’s nice to be able to work just one area at a time.

Cons:

There are too many trainers just sitting around during the workout. I think it would have been nice if at least one of them was demonstrating alternate ways to do the exercise for the viewer.

On my HD television, you can see the makeup that one of the trainers is wearing on her abs quite clearly and, in general, the porny baby voiced trainers do nothing for me. Since I don’t watch the show, I’m wondering if this is really the best Sky Gym has to present.

Jackie is an average to mediocre coach. She doesn’t cue well, engages in annoying chit chat with her trainers, and doesn’t point out form in a way that is useful for the viewer. Also, there is very little explanation of the moves before the trainer begins doing them.

The upper body workout was good with some unique moves but the lower body workout was really lacking IMO. I didn’t feel like I got a good workout after completing it.

I can’t help but compare this DVD to Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred because both are well known TV trainers with great bodies that seem to make all the ladies swoon. Also, both DVDs are shot on the exact same set.

Of the two, I prefer “30 Day Shred.” After checking both out from the library, it is the one I ended up buying.

Awesome & Fun!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have really enjoyed working out to this excellent video! I feel like I am getting a personal training session from Jackie and her crew right in my own house. I have done this workout about 5 times now (all three sections: upper and lower body along with abs) and I am already seeing a difference in my physique! I like that this DVD allows you to customize your workout and choose the areas you want to target. Great product!!!! I will surely recommend it to all my friends!

Great workout – NOT for beginners
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a tough workout. I exercise with weights regularly, and I was sore the next day in ways I haven’t been in a while! These workouts are short, but they are non-stop and packed with different exercises. The 20 minutes (or so) goes by fast because there are no breaks at all – you do two or three weight lifting exercises and then go into a minute of cardio. Most of the weight lifting exercises are a minute of each type (for example, one minute of squats, then one minute of lunges). The exercises are basic enough, so you don’t have to be an expert to do them, but you do have to work out regularly to keep up, as well as to know which weights to use with each exercise, since they don’t offer advice on this (light vs. heavier, etc.).

The only minor problems I have are with the warm-up/cool-downs and the form of some of the trainers. The warm-up and cool-downs are very short, so it would probably be wise to do a little more of each on your own. Also, sometimes the trainers are doing the exercises so fast they they jerk around and appear to use bad form. For example, one of the girls is doing squats so fast that she’s basically popping up and locking her knees at the top – from what I’ve learned on other videos, this is bad. Since I know proper form, this isn’t a problem for me, but it could be bad for people who are new to these types of exercises.

All in all though, it is a really good, no-nonsense workout with good variety.

Fantastic starting point!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
As a fan of Jackie’s tv show on BravoTV, I had to have this dvd! And I’m so glad that I got it. It’s broken into 3 separate 20 minute workouts (which all include a warm up & stretch) upper body, lower body, and core. The dvd has a feature that allows you to choose which one, or two, or you can do all three… IF you can handle it. I work out regularly, and I couldn’t do all three in one viewing (I tried). But, to get myself motivated for the day, I chose one workout, and then I go for a jog and walk around the neighborhood for more cardio. I do this 3 days a week, one day for each of her workouts, and the other 2 days I weight train with kettlebells. I highly suggest this DVD to compliment any workout routine!

Jackie slapped me around and I LOVED IT!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is the best workout video ever!!! Jackie makes you work everything. There is no need for a personal trainer because this video is it. Even after the first workout you can feel the effects. You know it’s good when you’ve finished working out and you just lay on the floor because your so exhausted you can’t get up! Sugar may be the devil but Jackie is an angel for making this DVD.
