Say 'No More Trouble Zones' with Jillian Michaels on DVD
by Alison Cox
 I have to give credit where it’s due. Jillian Michaels, wherever you are, the No More Trouble Zones circuit workout is fantastic. In Michaels’ latest fitness DVD that was released in tandem with Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism, the no-nonsense trainer of The Biggest Loser shares her expertise with the general population in the best way possible to keep you on your toes. Prepare to get your ass in gear for No More Trouble Zones. Or rather, prepare to make your glutes rock hard the way you’ve always wanted them to be.
No More Trouble Zones aims to eliminate Love Handles, Saddle Bags, Muffin Tops and Wobbly Arms, and many more favorite body features we take for granted. Stick with this time efficient circuit workout and you’ll definitely reap the benefits. I was happy to set aside Mr. P90X for a few go ‘rounds with Jillian Michaels as she put me through the paces to work on my own trouble zones. And for anyone who needs instruction, No More Trouble Zones also comes with optional assistance and a "music only" feature once you’ve learned what you need to succeed.
Consisting of a 5 minute warm-up, a 40 minute Trouble Zone circuit broken into 6 minute segments for upper and lower body, and a 5 minute cool-down stretch, the workout is exactly what you need to sculpt your body. However, the "bonus" on the DVD falls a bit flat. Since Jillian has been working on sculpting her own name brand, you can call this the advertisement section and not necessarily a bonus. Despite pitching a scripted plug for Oral B toothbrushes, Jillian delivers it like a health pro. But it’s obvious where her true passions flourish.
 Even if you’re not a fan of The Biggest Loser, the one thing that I’ve noticed from the DVDs released by both Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper is that they’re quality products that actually help more than most fitness releases. On her own, Jillian Michaels incorporates a great collection of efficient "dual" exercises in No More Trouble Zones. By this I’m referring to how she creatively combines two staple zones into one, so that you’re efficiently and effectively working the upper and lower body at the same time. The circuits are challenging, yet you’ll be reeling in euphoria from the fact that you’re getting a kick-ass workout. No More Trouble Zones will find a regular home in my DVD player, that’s for sure. Welcome to my living room, Jillian!
