My first experience with Jillian has left my legs rubber, my arms dead weights, and a slightly nauseous feeling in my stomach.  Did I mention the lightheadedness and the desire to curl up on the floor and sleep?  The routine wasn't as bad as I thought.  Well, ok...so I wanted to die 2 minutes into it.  What I mean is Jillian is really supportive through the whole workout.  She's not screaming from the screen making the person working out want to cry.  There are a couple of moments when she's less than nice, but she's not outright witchy with a capital B like she is on the Biggest Loser. 

My almost ten year old daughter did the routine with me.  She's tall and slender, and she wants to stay that way.  :)  That's good.  We'll help her develop some good habits that will last her a lifetime.  I bought her a set of 2 pound weights so she could do all of the exercises with me.  After it was over she gave me a high-five and told me I'd be skinny in no time.  I could barely lift my arm to return the gesture and I think I mumbled something congratulatory to her, but I wouldn't swear to it.  Now I'm going to go take a hot shower before I put my kids to bed.  Then there is a good chance I'll be going to bed right after that.  The good news...I did it!
