Celebrity trainer and television star Jackie Warner offers four different workout DVDs, but this one, Personal Training with Jackie: Power Circuit Training, earns top reviews from several well-known exercise DVD review sites, publications and users. The DVD features five workout options: 15-Minute Total Body Circuit, 40-Minute Total-Body Circuit, 15-Minute Abs-Only Circuit, 15-Minute Upper-Body Circuit and 15-Minute Lower-Body Circuit. The circuits can be completed individually or as a long workout. Reviewers say that the DVD is appropriate for an intermediate to advanced fitness level. Warner uses unique, effective moves at a quick pace so that users get the most out of their workout. Instruction on proper form is ample and Warner stays away from too much commentary, which helps the video from becoming stale. Some users do say that the video is not as tough as other videos and DVDs -- particularly those from another television trainer, Jillian Michaels. Still, this video is touted as being one of the most effective on the market.
Professional and user reviews of this video are ample. We found that Personal Training with Jackie: Power Circuit Training appears in more recent "best-of" exercise DVD roundups than any other DVD. Popular fitness publications FitBottomedGirls.com, ThatsFit.com, FitSugar.com, Fitness magazine and Weight Watchers magazine all rate this as a top video. Plus, nearly 150 users at Amazon.com give this workout a perfect score.
