Great Workout with All New Moves!
This is one of the only reviews I've ever written, but I love this dvd, and so I decided to write a review. I never watched Biggest Loser but I got into Jillian Michaels' workouts several years ago. I own every one of her workouts that I know of hers except the teen one. I really like that her workouts are super hard and challenging, and almost all of them are around 30 minutes with a few exceptions. Killer Abs is one of my absolute favorites of all of her workouts. I love the non-traditional ab moves, and she added tons of new moves and modifications on older moves from previous workouts. This workout works lots of muscle groups, not just the abs, which is an added benefit. I also own her Body Revolution which I highly recommend as well. It's pricey but worth it since you get 15 workouts, a workout cable, and some extras. I rotate all of her videos, even the easier ones. I found that you can modify or substitute harder exercises for the easier ones found on some of her...

Another great set of workouts from Jillian!
I pre-ordered this DVD & was SO excited that it was waiting in my mailbox when I got home yesterday! So I did Level 1 yesterday, then sat down and watched Levels 2 & 3, which I usually do before trying any new workout. While I didn't find it to be quite as cardio-intensive as 6 pack abs (which I LOVE), the exercises are ALL new, mostly non-traditional & tough! The ones that are *somewhat* familiar, have a new twist on them; like instead of doing plank jacks or plank moguls as a cardio interval, we do a hybrid called 'Plank Jack Moguls.'

Love that Natalie (from 30-Day Shred, among other Jillian workouts) is back for this one. She's doing the 'Beginner' or 'Modified' workout, but after she shows the modified version, sometimes Jill will hand her a weight or let her show an even more advanced version of the exercise than what the other girl, Nicola (sp?) is doing. You can tell Nat kinda likes that, 'cause she's in great shape...certainly NOT a 'beginner!' Both ladies look...
