Jillian Micheals?

Did anyone receive these workouts yet and what are they called? I was searching the internet and Amazon.com as more to choose from then Amazon.ca. I would rather order from .ca b/c I am canadian.
It doesn't give you an idea of what the workout is about though.
Can anyone fill me in....pretty please?

I had pre-ordered them but they are on backorder for weeks. I know Lora (lorajc) has received two of them. Hopefully she will see your post.

I just rec'd The Shape Up Frontside & Backside. Have not yet done them, but I previewed them. They are only 33 minutes each, but are very good workouts. They appear to be intermediate/advanced (although I may say pure advanced after I do them). They are circuit time of workouts in that you do some plyometrics/aerobics and then weights. They only lift light weights, but since they only do 10 reps of most things, you could easily heavy up. I really like her personality and she really pushes everyoone. She seems like a "tough girl" (she's a blackbelt) and I like that. She also is a big jokester and prankster and messes with everyone in the class. I'm going to do one on Friday and add a half hour or so of cardio and then one on Sunday with cardio.

Thanks. I am not sure if I am going to order any or not.She can't be as tough as cathe, can she? But if there are some different moves then maybe its just what my body needs.
Maybe I will wait until you have actually tried it before I order it.Not difference anyway b/c they are backordered 4-6 weeks!
Thanks again,
Lori

Back in September, but I had to cancel my order and reorder it checking the option "Ship as items become available", as all of them aren't available. I guess some are on back order, sold out or just not released yet. I ended up placing my new order thru CD Universe (they only had 5 left in stock yesterday - found out from Videofitness.com) for the Maximize set and Cardio Kickbox. I will get the latter in a couple of days and Maximize at the end of Nov (or something like that). The ones I got from Amazon were released on 9/27 and I got them shortly thereafter (Shape Up FrontSide and Backside).

To the other person regarding "can she be as tough as Cathe?". I don't think they are that hard as they're only 1/2 hour, but I'll let you know after I do it combined with cardio and I have one day schedule to do them back to back. I'm not the best person to judge this, as I like variety and I'm pretty easy going with instructors I like or dislike.
