There are 15 dvds (12 strength, 3 cardio). Each workout is 4 circuits and 25-35 minutes. The cardio dvds include a single circuit repeated 3 times. You change strength dvds every 2 weeks and cardio dvds each month. You workout 6 days per week (2 days of cardio and 4 days of strength). The cast on these dvds are great. Their form is usually really good (but it depends on who you are following). Jillian is really tough, but the results are there! I remember the first time she had us do push-up jacks, I could only do 1. After two weeks, I could do the entire 30 sec interval of push-up jacks.
If you have bad knees, this might not be for you (especially phase 3). However, it probably wouldn''t be too difficult to modify some of the plyo moves in the strength dvds (it''s the cardio 3 dvd that is mostly plyo). I admit, I got really sick of the cardio dvds. You are doing them twice per week for a month before you get a new dvd. I ended up substituting those workouts with other cardio dvds (like Kickbox Fastfix).
I would HIGHLY recommend this program. I will be doing another round soon! I''m 53 and just finished Body Revolution Today. What can I say, it''s kind of bitter sweet, being done, but really liking the last 90 days. I feel stronger than ever. Don''t let these workouts intimidate you. I''ve had surgery on my bladder and can''t jump around on workouts, so I modified the workouts and for a person who doesn''t sweat normally on a workout, I was! The workouts are on average 30 minutes (which I liked alot) and they progressively got harder. It mixes upper and lower body moves 4 days a week and then a separate day of cardio 2 days, with one day for rest. There is alot of plank type moves, which my upper body was not my strong suit, so I modified like the pushup type moves. Still felt it though. On average, my heart rate monitor showed a burn of 450 480 calories per workout. Oh, and I wasn''t a big Jilian fan when I bought it, but a friend and I did this together. Ya, she''s actually a pretty cool gal. Anyway, I will probably do another rotation of 90 days after a few week break. Oh, I''m at my goal weight, so the scale didn''t drop much, but I did see inches and clothing sizes drop. I didn''t follow the eating plan, just used Myfitnesspal to log my calories. I''m not a die hard when it comes to eating. Hope this helps!

I love Jillian and I loved this workout. 30 minutes per day is PERFECT. Unlike soooo many other plans I''ve tried (TurboFire, Insanity, P90X) which operate on the theory that since you are getting stronger over the course of the plan you can work out longer...which may be true, but just because I''m stronger I don''t magically get more hours in the day! Those plans didn''t work for me for that reason alone. I would cut the workouts short or just skip when it seemed too daunting time-wise.Not this one. This one I looked forward to every morning. Because I knew it was only a 1/2 hour and I can do pretty much anything for a half hour.
I lost 15 pounds and 4 inches off my waist. I didn''t have a lot to lose and I DIDN''T follow the diet plan, just stuck to around 1300 cals a day....and not every day, either. I did have some cheats over the 90 days. I ate clean, no sugar. Fruits, veggies and protein. My cheats involved alcohol, not cake ;-)
I am wicked happy and would buy another new 90 day set right this minute if it were available. It was challenging and perfect. Thanks, Jillian! I started Jillian Michaels BR in mid April, 5 weeks after I had a C-Section. I am 5''10 and weighed 235, I am starting week 9 and I have lost 33 pds so far. I started a squeezing into a size 20 and can now fit into a size 15. I don''t just look skinnier I look tone. I would have lost more but I understand I am gaining muscle and have relaxed my meal plan a little so instead of losing 5pds a week like I was I am down to 2-3pds a week. I followed her 7 day kick start and it was hard and I was hungry but it helped me to detox so I didn''t crave my sweet sweet chocolates. The rest of the meal plan I didn''t follow because I couldn''t afford a lot of the ingrediants but it did help me understand what to eat and what to watch out for. I am so happy with my results I just can''t believe how my body and energy level has changed with only 30 min a day! I get compliments constantly and have a friend that started this program 2 weeks ago and she has lost 10pds already. If you get this it is going to be hard, modify to your body if your pretty fit then do the harder versions she gives you and if you are like me and never had a real workout before follow her and don''t stop! They will seem impossible the first week and you will be going right along with the people at the end of the 2nd week. I plan on cycling this and buying more of hers when I am done. You buy this and follow it you will not be disappointed!! It''s only 30 min don''t you dare say you don''t have time or are to tired!If you already have all of Jillian''s other dvds stick with those. This program is more of the same, but not as difficult as 30DS, NMTZ and BFBM. Those dvds bring the pain!!! and you do not have to use heavy weights to feel it. Body Revolution uses some of the same moves she uses in her other dvds and this set is more toning than cardio. You get 15 dvds in all. I was disappointed to only get 1 cardio dvd for each month. Boring. You will do four days of toning and two days of cardio. The set is wide open with many people, but it sounds like she is yelling the whole time and I am not sure why. The music is too loud or she doesn''t have a mic on. It starts out easy and increases in intensity over time. This is not one you can redo after the 90 days are completed because it will be too easy. If you have all of her other dvds then don''t waste $100+ buying this one as it is not worth it. She has a new dvd coming out soon so I would wait for it rather than get this set. If you can buy body revolution used or under $50 then go for it otherwise keep your money and continue to use her other dvds. I highly recommend 30DS, NMTZ, BFBM and Ripped in 30 just for the calorie burn alone. I believe if you use her other dvds for 90 days you will lose the same amount of weight if not more judging from all of the reviews of 30DS, NMTZ, BFBM and Ripped in 30. You can make your own 90 day program and not have to spend $100!
