Overview of the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution Schedule

The Jillian Michaels Body Revolution also has an optional kick-start week, which goes along with week 1. If you choose this, then you will be doing two workouts each day—one in the morning and one again in the evening. The kick-start workout is one hundred percent cardio, which will crank up your metabolism for some extra fat burning. This, of course, also means that you will actually be doing cardio workouts twice on cardio days (two times a week).

Here’s the detailed breakdown of the workouts by phase.

PHASE 1

Dive right into weight loss with the phase 1 workouts, which jumpstart your metabolism to help you burn calories fast. This month uses low-impact, results-focused moves that build the foundation for success.

WORKOUT 1 (WEIGHTS)

This workout targets the front of the body—shoulders, arms, chest, core and quads. You will build core strength and develop balance, which not only burns calories but also prepares you for future workouts. The resistance comes from your body and light weights. Plus, bursts of cardio help you .

WORKOUT 2 (WEIGHTS, RESISTANCE CABLE)

This workout shifts to the back side of the body—biceps, back, hamstrings, glutes, core. During the workout, you will use your own body weight, a resistance cable and your weights. As with Workout 1, you will work on stability, balance and strength as you continue to burn calories.

WORKOUT 3 (WEIGHTS, RESISTANCE CABLE)

Keep cranking up the intensity using a resistance cable and weights for fat-melting sculpt moves. As with the other odd-numbered workouts, this one focuses on the front side of the body.

WORKOUT 4 (WEIGHTS)

Another workout for the back side of the body, you will start to learn standard athletic drill and plyometrics. This workout uses weights to increase the calorie burn and sculpting.

CARDIO 1

A cardio component is essential, but you need to work into it slowly. This cardio workout is low-impact to prevent injury, but will still give you extra calorie burn.

Resistance training exercises like push-ups and plank position, plus athletic drills with a resistance cable and weights, will work the front side of your body. Also, cardio intervals increase the calorie burn.

WORKOUT 8 (WEIGHTS, RESISTANCE CABLE)

A mix of intermediate to advanced moves for the back side of your body, this workout uses a resistance cable and weights to improve your coordination and balance. More cardio bursts—this time with weights—will keep your heart pounding for a workout that sculpts your body and helps you shed excess pounds.

CARDIO 2

This workout bumps up the cardio a notch with low- to high-impact moves that will increase your calorie burn and help you work on trouble areas.

PHASE 3

Two months down, one to go. This month focuses on polishing your toned muscles and blasting through any remaining fat. This workout is where it all comes together.

WORKOUT 9 (WEIGHTS, RESISTANCE CABLE)

A mixture of moves inspired by power yoga and hardcore bootcamp that works the front side of the body. A resistance cable and weights gives you more intense sculpting. Plus, bursts of cardio keep your metabolism cranked up.

WORKOUT 10 (WEIGHTS, RESISTANCE CABLE)

Work harder than before, with a fast and intense workout for the back side of the body. The workout uses higher resistance on the resistance cable and weights for increased toning and calorie burn.
