Having ripped abdominals may not make you a celebrity--well, unless you're that guy on Jersey Shore--but if you're looking to "lose weight, get healthy, and change your life," as trainer Jillian Michaels puts it, then 6 Week Six-Pack should find a spot on your menu. It won't be easy; there are two very challenging routines featured here, each of which should be practiced five days a week for three weeks. Nor will it be simply a matter of lying on the floor and doing a few sit-ups. Michaels's mantra is "shed fat while toning your core," and in the course of these two approximately 30-minute routines (Level 1 is hard; Level 2 is harder), you'll spend a good amount of time on your feet doing vigorous aerobic work (marching in place, squats, lunges, leg lifts, and such, all designed to keep the heart rate up), as well as the demanding mat exercises, some of which derive from the plank (or upward pushup) position and thus build arm as well as core strength. The pace is quick, rests are few, and Michaels is a demanding instructor; there's no coddling here, and the workouts are definitely not for the slothful or faint of heart. But she knows what she's doing--her emphasis on the breath will be familiar to anyone who practices yoga, as will some of the poses she uses, and her attention to "control, focus, and form" is helpful. "Bring intention to your action," Michaels says, and judging by the hundreds of positive user responses, it works. --Sam Graham

I really like the interval format of most of the JM workouts. While 6 Week six-pack doesn't follow the 3-2-1 formula (3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, 1 minute abs), it's still a very familiar approach. You do one long circuit (about 18 minutes) twice through, minus a few of the warm-up exercises the second time through. The warm-up was new and different and a little more ab-focused- no jumping jacks, though I initially substituted jumping jacks for a few of the other cardio moves throughout the circuit- they are mostly all variations on planks - plank jacks, mountain climbers, etc. Many of the ab moves are variations on crunches. However, it flows together well and goes quickly. One of the main reasons I like this dvd is because it seems to go so fast. And it gets easier every single time you do it- I found I could focus a lot more on form and keeping muscles engaged after I built up some strength to do a particular exercise.
I think this dvd is a great complement to the other JM dvds because it's just not realistic for me to, say, do the 30 Day Shred EVERY SINGLE DAY. I get bored fast, so mixing it up makes a huge difference. Also, I think the exercises here complement the strength moves in the 3-2-1 workouts so you're still getting a great workout while resting some of those other muscles. I consider myself to be in good shape, and I do a LOT of yoga, so I was able to adjust fairly quickly to all the planks and side planks etc in this workout, but it is still HARD for me, in a good way. I don't know how I would feel about it as a beginner- I believe the other JM dvds are a better first choice for those new to working out or high intensity interval training. In 2-3 weeks, I've gotten to a point where I do two segments per day- usually Level 1 of 6 week six-pack, and then varying levels of 30 Day Shred or Ripped in 30. If you are getting bored with either of those dvds, want to mix it up, or are ready to REALLY focus on your core, this is a GREAT dvd. If you're new to Jillian Michaels, I would go with 30 Day Shred, though Ripped in 30 is also fairly accessible and is mostly new exercises (except for push ups, squat and press, maybe a couple others). Jillian recommends doing each dvd every day, 5-6 days per week. For me, the key to that is variety. Try one, if you like it, try another and mix it up!
I've paid a lot of money in the past for personal training sessions and I don't think they can compare to the workout you can get from these dvds. If you have the time, space, and correct equipment (mat and appropriate sized dumbbells), the Jillian Michaels dvds are the far better investment, and more productive all around. Having worked out with a few different 'master' trainers, I prefer her moves and you waste a LOT less time between strength moves: walking from machine to machine, waiting for a piece of equipment, chatting about this and that, taking a water break. She runs straight though and bam you're done.
Also, I watch each level once through before doing it, partly to pump myself up and partly to see what I'll be doing so I don't waste the first few reps of each trying to figure out the details.
I'm looking forward to the release of her new glutes and thighs dvd- I do find most of these dvds focus on core and upper body strength far more than lower body, and have even noticed this as far as my own results go... so a dedicated lower body workout sounds great.
The work-outs are about 35 mins, and the time flies when you really focus on what you're doing. Demonstrating the moves are Jillian, 'Advanced Girl', and 'Beginner Girl'. Advanced girl is a freaking machine, and I'm not sure if I will ever get to her level. Beginner girl is too easy though, so I stick to the middle-ground, which is what Jillian usually demonstrates. One criticism is that there's not a lot of explanation, so you have to look at the screen a lot the first couple of times to see what's going on. But other than that, it's pretty clear-cut.
It took me two days just to get coordinated enough to do the moves properly, so don't stress if you feel like an idiot the first couple of times. Some of the moves are really, really hard. This work-out also focuses on muscles that I didn't even know I had! It's unbelievable. I've only been doing it for a week, and I now have this amazing muscle above my bum that makes everything feel stronger and more pert. My stomach is also getting ripped, which was my whole aim. What's also great about this work-out is the fact that it doesn't bulk up your arms, which was something I didn't like about the Shred.
Some people have said that there's not enough cardio in this work-out. I disagree- if you're doing the strength moves right and are really forcing yourself to hold your core correctly, you puff and pant a huge amount, and your heart rate is through the roof. There are also very, very intense cardio intervals which, again, if done correctly, absolutely kill you. But I concede that it doesn't leave you as exhausted as the Shred, so maybe you could add in some more cardio at the end, like skaters, or mountain-climbers.
Having now done Level 2 for about a week (I spent longer than 3 weeks doing level 1, because I could still really feel the burn and wanted to master it before moving on), I can say that Level 2 will slay you alive. If you follow Advanced Girl, this is an exceptionally hard work-out. The first two times I did it, I couldn't walk properly the next day. I basically needed a Zimmer frame. It's very hard on your legs, and Jillian seems to focus less on your abs than Level 1. I think the way she's designed it is for Level 1 to build your ab muscles, and for Level 2 to burn off any left-over fat so you can really see those muscles. That's not to say that Level 2 ignores your abs, but the focus shifts to either working your entire body, or hammering your largest muscles- your legs and your glutes, so you burn as many calories as possible.
At one point during my first go at Level 2 I actually gasped out loud "You've got to be kidding me!". If Jillian can get me to say that even after Level 1, and the 30 Day Shred, that's saying something.
One criticism of Level 2 is that I don't think it does enough lower back work, so I add one minute of bridge kicks at the end.
But all in all, it's excellent. Highly recommended.

PS: Das Programm ist echt hart! ^^ Nach 3 Wochen Non Stop bin ich zum Kraftsport gewechselt. :P
The DVD: It works great, no issues there. As always, it has an easy-to-use menu, which I know anyone who uses her DVDs appreciates this, especially when you want to get straight to your workout without any hassle.
The Workouts: I love both Levels 1 & 2, they get the blood flowing & heart rate going. Jillian has you work on different muscle groups than "30 Day Shred" & "Ripped in 30" it's a nice change of pace. These are tough workouts but it's worth it, so be prepared to get your butt kicked! I love how positive Jillian is throughout the entire workout, at the end she gives you a big congrats for following through, & you deserve it after working so hard! I personally like to do Level 1, 2 or 3 from "30 Day Shred" & then one from this DVD; those combined are amazing & sure to get results fast. These workouts will come in handy during the winter when it's dark, raining & snowing because Jillian has you do cardio & strength.
Overall: Highly recommend for fans of Jillian & anyone looking to get toned fast. This & 30 Day Shred are my favorites.
