Hello Ayesha. Those are wonderful questions. Thank you! Both of the Hard Body workouts are about 45 minutes long. They are fast-paced full body workouts that gradually increase in difficulty. I rotate my circuit training days with cardio days…like you said, this gives muscles time to recover. I would/am doing the first exercise until I feel that it is no longer challenging me, then I will move to the second. What I love about Jillian’s DVDs is that she shows us how to increase the intensity by adding weights or modifying our movements. For me, Hard Body was the toughest Jillian workout I have ever done. It really was like a mini “last chance workout.” I hope this helps. Thank you again for your questions.

I just finished her Body Revolution series, and I liked it because the schedule was pretty straightforward – work a certain set of muscles on one day, another set the next day for two weeks, move on to the next set of exercises, etc. When I saw that this just had 2 exercises it made me wonder if it was worth it. Is it a full body workout? Then I’m thinking it shouldn’t be done ever day so the muscles have time to recover. How would you know when to move from the first 45 minute exercise to the next one? Or are they similar in terms of the type of workout and intensity that you can alternate them?

Just trying to find out more information, so any more details you can provide would be helpful. Thanks!

This is a wonderful DVD! 🙂

I rotate this one with her Body Revolution DVDs. 🙂

It’s a great workout Tesa. I sort of felt like I was getting a glimpse of a “last chance workout!” LOL
