Jeanette Jenkins/ The Hollywood Trainer: Bikini Bootcamp2

I must say that I am impressed and happy with this purchase. Jeanette Jenkins knows how to work your body from head to toe. I already had the first Bikini Body Boot Camp and it helped me get into great shape. I had been doing it 3 times a week so I was looking for something new. When I saw this one I was excited and thought I’d give it a try.What’s good: We have the same enthusiastic trainers with her Kat and Terri Anne. And of course the amazing Jeanette Jenkins who makes working out seem like fun!Also Jeanette is one of the few trainers that gives you a really good Cool Down/ Stretch that last longer than 3 minutes. You get to breathe and meditate. Namaste!What’s better: The clock; I love that each interval/workout is about 10 minutes long. With the first Boot Camp I’d be short on time I would need to skip the last interval move to the “Cool Down”. With Boot Camp 2 I can pick and choose which ones I’ll do on given day. And I love seeing that clock count down the minutes. Just when I feel like I have nothing left I’ll see I have 2 more minutes or 30 more seconds, and I’ll tell myself to hang in there. It feels like it's over before you know it. Ladies if you’re in doubt, I strongly suggest that you buy this workout DVD. Modify the moves as you need. Pick one 10 minute segment and add on as you advance. I guarantee you will see and feel amazing results.

This is a remarkable workout. Jeannette is joined by two other women whom you've probably seen in their other workout dvds - Terri Ann, and Cat. Everyone has a bright, cheerful smile on their faces, despite the fact that this workout is super hard!! I love that there are some exercises that I haven't seen before, and I especially love that in the weight lifting section, Jeannette works all parts of the body at the same time, making good use of your investment of time. And, of course, Jeannette has a wonderful personality. I am a medium to higher level intermediate exerciser. This was a grueling, but fun workout, and I did have to pause it several times to catch my breath, which is just fine. However, I almost deducted one star for this reason: there is no modifier doing the exercise routine. On a few occasions, Jeannette will verbally suggest a way to tone the difficulty down a bit. However, I think it's really important to have a modifier - it gives people some motivation to build up their strength, and it's good for even advanced exercisers if they are having an off day. So, if you're a beginner at working out, please wait and build yourself up first with more basic workouts, before considering purchasing this one. For everyone else, you'll either need to do this workout as is, or be knowledgeable enough to figure out your own modifications. Saying that, I am happy that I purchased it!

I have to agree with the other reviewers of this workout! It really is challenging- in a good way! So far, I've done the Cardio Camp and the Ab camp. Jeanette jumps right in and gets going on the cardio, which I appreciate. None of the nonsensical babble like some workout instructors! I'm pretty advanced (I do Insanity, Amy Dixon Breathless Body and Peak 10 workouts with Michelle Dozois) and wanted something new to put in the rotation. I also own Jeanette's Cardio Kickboxing and like her style. This is a high impact workout, so if you have knee/joint issues, you may want to skip this one. Otherwise, if you're up for a challenge, try this out! My one wish is that the Cardio was longer, but I just do a second workout for an additional 30 minutes.The Ab Camp was not my favorite. I felt like some the movements were awkward which made them more difficult, but did not feel effective. I will likely just do the Cardio and try out the Chisel Camp

I own the first bikini boot camp and liked it. I like this one almost as much.Pros: A timer on the screen counting you down.Music- much better than the first oneIncorporating strength with the cardio sectionsCons: although Jeanette uses weights, I didn't feel as though the exercises were as effective as they could have been.Overall, a good solid workout that I will put in my DVD rotation!

It's funny, sometimes you think you are pretty good at exercise, then somebody comes along and kicks your butt in a whole other way.. Jeanette really got me sweating, before the actual workout started! Dripping sweat like I was all brand new to exercise. She hits everything, resistance (I recommend 3-5lbs beginning), cardio, and then some. I had to modify some moves for my comfort/body, and i couldn't even finish my first complete go though. I think this is a real keeper in my workout variety. I'm very pleased. 😊😥

I consider myself a beginner as I have recently returned to working out. This video is NOT for beginners!However, since I am familiar with working out and trying to get fit again, I bought it anyway and I have to say it is fabulous. I have been trying a lot of videos lately and thisis my new favorite. I have already challenged myself to keep with it until I can get through it without stopping.I could see her claim of a 600 calorie burn (for us heavier folks anyway). (I am almost 200 lbs) I was tuckered out about 10 min into the Cardio Camp so , unfortunately, I didn't give the rest of the workout 100% and had to briefly stop a few times (my heart rate went over 170 at some points) but stuck through to the end. I could only get through the first two exercises for Ab Camp and, of course, did stretch camp- and I still burned about 440, according to my Polar heart rate monitor.I didn't even attempt Chisel Camp so that is about 40 min of working out including the 5 minute warm up and the 8 min stretch.I like Jeanettes style. She doesnt feel the need to take up every moment with the familiar trainer chatter, which I appreciate.Since I already do a short am strength workout and a pm cardio I plan to split this up and of course throw in some of my other videos to keep it interesting.The video also came with a booklet with some great nutrional information and a wonderful meal plan complete with doable, edible recipes.If you are looking for a challenge or trying to go to the next level, this is for you!

WOW!!!! Ich bin sowas von begeistert von diesem tollen Bikini Boot Camp-Workout!!!!! Auf der DVD befindet sich ein ca. 30minütiges Krafttraining sowie auch ein 30minütiges Cardiotraining, zusätzlich noch ein 9minütiges Bauch-Boot-Camp und natürlich ein Warm-Up und ein Cool-Down. Und ich muss wirklich sagen, ich bin sooo begeistert von dieser DVD!!!!!! Die Übungen sind total anstrengend, wirkungsvoll und machen so was von SPASS!!!!! ABER ACHTUNG: (MEINER MEINUNG NACH) KEINESFALLS FÜR ANFÄNGER GEEIGNET, sondern klar für Fortgeschrittene und Fitness-Profis! Ich trainiere nun schon mehr als ein Jahr mit Fitness-DVD's; unter anderem vor allem mit DVD's von Jillian Michaels, welche ja bekanntlich eine der strengsten Trainerinnen überhaupt ist... und sogar ich komme hier mächtig ins Schwitzen und wirklich an meine Grenzen...!!! Ist sehr sehr anstrengend und für mich wirklich eine Herausforderung!! Das Cardio- und Krafttraining beides nacheinander zu absolvieren, habe ich mich bis jetzt noch nicht getraut.... lediglich eines plus das Bauch-Boot-Camp. Alle 3 zusammen zu absolvieren, ist wirklich eine sportliche Höchstleistung und Hut ab vor jedem, der das schafft ;-) FAZIT: DVD top, Wirkung top - absolut empfehlenswert für alle, die gerne an ihre Grenzen kommen und Resultate sehen möchten!!! Resultate, aber auch Muskelkater sind garantiert ;-)!!!
