Certified instructor description:
This "backside" workout focuses on your buttocks, legs and back (it's designed to be used in conjunction with Jillian's similar DVD). The workout features straight-forward aero/tone circuits — sequences that alternate between aerobics and body-sculpting. However, in addition to the “workout,” Jillian also includes information about fitness (e.g. while you're exercising, she explains the “hows” and “whys” of each movement). The program is filmed like an actual personal training session with Jillian. She's one-on-one with her client, offering technique tips plus lots of her legendary motivation/encouragement. Requires an X-ertube and 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells. A small, 4-inch-high “step box” is also optional. No music. Includes motivational interviews with successful weight losers. ©2006 (discontinued and then re-released in 2010).
