Hopefully you're all toned up now that you've gotten through Shape Up - Backside, and you're ready to take it up a step and try some new sets. In Maximize - Back In Action we're using the same muscle groups, the back, biceps, glutes, hamstrings, and, as always, the abs. But we'll be incorporating a whole new set of exercises and working in cardio intervals to keep your heart rate up and really burn off the fat.

A short workout that packs a punch and will whip you up in shape!
If you like endurance weight training with short cardio bursts then you will enjoy these workouts! I have all 4 of Jillian's endurance strength training DVDS and they are very good especially when combined with 30-45 mins. cardio. The Maximize Full Frontal DVD is a little more intense than Jillian's Shape Up Front DVD; it has more core work, more one-leg moves and the cardio segments always use dumbbells. The Maximize Back In Action DVD is also a little more intense than Jillian's Shape Up Backside DVD; it has more core work, harder exercises and additional power moves. All 4 DVDs are an excellent buy and since they are all short workouts, you can easily combine them with cardio for a well-rounded 60 minute workout. Note: You will not like Jillian's workouts if you prefer to go heavy with weights.
