Ok, it got my attention

Anyone tried Ripped in 60? It looks like a trx type program that Jillian Michaels is endorsing. I've been wanting to do trx for a while and only recently have enough space. I'm hesitant because proper form is hard and JM lost a lot of credibility (to me) from selling diet pills.

Re: Ok, it got my attention

  • I have not used it, but depite the fact that she now sell diet pills, that doesn't change the fact that she can still design kick-ass workouts.  Every single workout I've ever done of hers has kicked my butt, so I wouldn't let that deter you from getting the program.
  • She doesn't try to sell any dietpills in her workout videos, so I have no problem letting her kick my ass.

  • We just started it last week, and we've done two of the videos so far. We're not doing the actual program, because we have other goals. The first video is kind of ehhh, if you're already in decent shape, but the second one kicked my butt.

  • Thanks for the review. I guess I was skeptical because it looks more like a JM endorsed product than a JM created workout. I was also worried because the KettleBell workout lacked form which also seems to be important for this type of workout. But end of the day, I still <3 her.
  • It's not a JM-created workout. I'm not a big fan of JM, at all, so she has nothing to do with why I bought it. It does take some time to get the hang of the straps, but I'm really enjoying it.

    ETA: She's not in the first two videos at all, and I don't think she shows up until one of the bonus discs.
