"This set of workout videos are great for beginners because the movements are not over the top, there isn't a bunch of jumping and crazy moves and you most definitely sweat, even if you are in pretty good shape. My only complaint is that the tapes are a little long. The backside is 54 minutes and unless you are motivated, you can get tired and give up too quickly. The cardio kickboxing is about 25 minutes and just the right length. Frontside is good at 42 minutes but once I learned the routines and didn't have to wait for instruction between moves, I can do the circuits in about 30 minutes. I would recommend it for those who are serious and more than casual exercisers."
Wow, she's awesome

"While I originally bought this 3 pack DVD work-out for the Cardio Kickbox, I have found that I actually like the for Beginners Frontside and Backside DVD's even more. The circuits are kept nice and short and to the point. Each circuit takes only a few minutes to complete, but still pack a punch and have you feeling the burn in a way that you know it's working. I couldn't have been happier with this purchase. Thanks Jillian!!!"
Very happy with this purchase!

"I rated this 4 out of 5 stars only because once I ran through the video with Jillian's verbal instruction I wish I could now just skip the verbal and go through the circuits without all that. There's a lot of (necessary for the beginner) talking which makes these circuits go slow. I just hit the FF button on my remote now - next circuit! Jillian is great! The cardio is great too, gets your heart pumping. The moves are not difficult and can be modified if needed. I definitely recommend this item!"
Excellent for beginners

"Good starting point. I've taken a cardio kickboxing class and this dvd used some very basic moves repeatedly to get your heart going. Nothing too complicated. the other dvd worked in circuits which is nice to change things up a bit. It moves at a pace very good for beginners. Makes you sweat and makes you sore, which means it's working. I would suggest it for someone looking to get started."
