I haven't done the boot camp yet. I am waiting to finish the other one I am working on.

Biggest Loser ~ Boot Camp (Bob Harper is the trainer for all of the levels)
5 minute warm up
Level one (20 minutes)
Level 2 (15 minutes)
Level 2 (10 minutes)

This is a 6 week program. Recommended routine is to do the warm up, level 1 and then cool down for 2 weeks. Then add level 2 for 2 weeks, and then add in level 3. Entire workout time from start to finish (including warm up and cool down) should be:
Week 1-2: 30 minutes
Week 3-4: 45 minutes
Week 5-6: 55 minutes

Items recommended for this workout are dumbbells, a medicine ball and bands. They do show you modifications if you don't have those items though.

The only equipment recommended is dummbells, but they do show you modifications to use if you don't have them.

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred

This is a 2 minute warm up followed by a 18 minutes of workout time. You do 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio and then 1 minute of abs. You repeat that two more times and then have a 2 minute cool down.There are three separate workouts. level 1, 2 and 3.

You need hand weights (dumbbells) and a mat if you are exercising on a hard surface. (for the moment, my "mat" is just a couple of strategically folded blankets.)

It doesn't sound like much, but don't be fooled. Jillian is tough. You are moving the entire time, and you'll sweat through the entire thing. If you want results though...trust me, this video will give them to you.

I should be getting the Biggest Loser Yoga for Weightloss video early next week (renting it on netflix before I buy it) so I'll review it then.
