I feel more comfortable with these two than new and more frequently-changed faces in Jillian's more recent DVDs. On a personal note, I also love the fact that Natalie and Anita are the additional instructors, because I love their chemistry. And, of course, improving the muscle there makes for a more shapely silhouette, slimmer thighs and a nice, round bum, not to mention helping to increase resting metabolism and burning more calories at rest.Įach workout begins with a thorough warm up, then 30 minutes of work, then a cool-down.
Lower body workouts are amazing for cardio as the muscles in your lower body are so much bigger than those in your upper body, and so take more energy to utilise and burn more calories. With a mixture of controlled resistance to build muscle, interspersed with compound moves and cardiovascular exercises to help melt fat, you simply cannot avoid results. Split into three 30-minute levels of increasing intensity, each made up of 4 circuits, Killer Buns & Thighs is dedicated to transforming the lower body. So much so that I'm compromising and looking to fit it into my calendar later in the year. I was so keen every leg day while using this, keener than usual, and I was so sad to see the end of it! I planned to use it for two weeks per level, alternating with an upper body workout on non-consecutive days, for 5 days a week, and though my initial plan was to use the two for 6 weeks between them, it became 8 weeks and that still wasn't enough! And frequent readers know I change my workout every 4-5 weeks to avoid plateaus and to keep it interesting, but I really wanted to keep going. I love a good lower body workout, and this DVD is nothing but. Killer Buns & Thighs has quickly become one of my favourite Jillian Michaels workouts.
