AWESOME:
Exactly the quality you would expect from Jillian, it is well written and to the point! No sugar coating anything..she will tell you exactly how it is and call you on cheating (no girly push ups or putting your hands on the wall while doing the wall sits). The first day I did this I felt it and I LOVED IT! I am not an extremely fit person, I am trim but not muscular and I think this book is perfect for me or anyone else of any fitness level!
Great circuts...not big on the food:
I love the circuts...they are a great workout and definitely get your heartrate up and you will get stronger. The diet she has to accompany the workouts is less than desireable.

So unless you want to cook a meal for you and then a meal for your family, then you'll have the same problems I have with the food. However, I would recommend the book for the workouts. There are explanations... more info
Lots of great sutff, but not perfect.:
This book is packed with lots of really great information. Like what kind of diet is best for your metabolism, which muscles to work for improving your posture, and how to "peak" to look your best for a special event but there was a lot I disliked about it too.

There is a formula to help you figure out the minimum amount of calories you can ingest before your metabolism starts slowing down, so you can... more info
Great workouts for the dedicated gym-goer!:
This book provides a lot of information about how to plan your diets. I followed the diet part for a little while, but I tend to eat a healthy diet anyway, so I didn't feel the need to follow it to a tee. The workouts, however, are great, but you definitely do need a gym membership to do many of the workouts (which was fine for me since I belong to a gym). I wish there were tear-out cards for the workouts, though, since I am not about to haul the whole book to the gym and it would be nearly impossible to... more info
