Just when I thought that I had all I needed, I watched a Jillian Michaels Body Revolution infomercial.
This is what I get for waking up before the Today Show and having some time on my hands. I'm not buying this, but it is tempting. It looks amazing due to the exercises and Jillian's power to motivate me. When I do her other DVDs (Cardio Kickboxing, Frontside, Backside), she has this strange power over me to do my absolute best no matter my discomfort. I can't let her down...even if I realize that she is a flat character on a television screen that cannot actually see me.
Or can she? I think one of the things that Jillian Michaels has over other fitness gurus is the fact that we have seen her in action with all several personality types and physical abilities of people on The Biggest Loser. We sometimes share similar personal narratives with some of the contestants on the show, and due to that connection, we feel as though a part of us is being represented and seen. Oh, the glories of reality TV - love it or hate it, it brings out commonalities and differences between all of us.
The bottom line is that we know that her method delivers results and she has extremely high expectations no matter who she trains.
Maybe at some point I will buy this system - it is kind of pricey, but not when one considers that it comes with 15 thirty-minute workouts and other side items, it's only about $8 for each workout video.
If you're interested, you can get more info and order it at www.jillianbodyrevolution.com.
If any of you have this already or try it out, I really would love to hear what you think of it! Perhaps I am in a morning fog on this one...which could be why infomercials aire when they do.
Damn them.
