Exercise TV's Jillian Michaels Shred-It With Weights (VOD) Hidden Gem
Once I saw Beyonce in concert at Madison Square Garden. She sang all the femme anthems in heels, dancing most of the routines her back up posse did save for a few moments to connect us mesmerized folk in the audience. She only fell once and you saw it on YouTube. Jillian Michaels has got to be the Beyonce of fitness.

As an avid Jillian collector since her Biggest Loser Days, her new "Shred-It with Weights" on Exercise TV On Demand show almost makes me proud. Where once Jillian spent a lot of time barking impossible drill sargent instructions and kidding around with her back up posse, she is now matured into a full fledged fitness guru.

The best thing about this and other Jillian shows is that you would be hard pressed to find her just telling you what to do. She works out WHILE TELLING YOU what to do. With "Shred It" you are working with a kettlebell (that thing that looks like it anchors ships) that can be from 3 - 5 pounds. I don't know if you've ever tried to exercise with a ship's anchor and talk at the same time but Jillian could tell you all about it.
