Editorial Review:
Well-known fitness expert Jillian Michaels and CosmoGIRL! bring you the hottest new approach to getting fit and looking fab. This new program includes nutrition tips for the girl on the go, a shed-and-shred ""Cardio Hip-Hop"" workout that will transform any body type, and a personal Q&A with Jillian. Amazon.com description
For young women wanting a so-fun-you-hardly-notice-it's exercise workout, CosmoGirl: Get Fit & Fab with Jillian Michaels is just the ticket. Michaels, a fitness expert with an inviting, gentle demeanor, leads this hip-hop dance workout with expert and beginner dancers, with moves even the most couch-potato-y girl can start out with. While the long routine is rather complex, and will take a few times through to really get, Michaels breaks it down into chunks. And it's easy enough to remember that the dance is "hip-hop," so if viewers lose their place for a moment, they can vamp along for a view beats by hopping or kicking in place to the inviting beat. The warm-ups offered are especially key, as there are a lot of neck, shoulder, and hip movements that shouldn't be attempted cold. Doing this a few times a week will make exercisers feel taut and hip, no small feat. There are plenty of extras to invite in teens and young women to learn about nutrition and activity issues, as well as self-esteem struggles, including an intimate discussion with Michaels and CosmoGirl editor in chief Susan Schulz. Ready? Take it from the top! --A.T. Hurley

GREAT DVD FOR TEENS: 
This is a great dvd for teenagers. I loved how Jillian sat down and talked to a bunch of teenagers and problems that we face. I really related to what they had to say. I really enjoyed watching it and I did not want it to end.
COSMOgirl work out: 
It is a neat idea - a little drawn out - my kids do love it though it is a little too old for them (11, 9, 8).
Good dance routine, but steep learning curve and too intense:
Starring Jillian Michaels of Biggest Loser fame-- and aimed towards teenagers-- "CosmoGirl! - Get Fit and Fab" is a cardio workout vid in which viewers are taught to dance in a hip hop style.
On the whole, I liked the casual, laid back, and fun atmosphere of the video; it felt less like an exercise video than a dance class. I also liked the fact that it was teaching you a genuine choreographed routine, as opposed to some videos that are really just aerobics moves with some dance moves thrown in.more info
Maybe better for teens than someone older:
I love Jillian Michaels and hip hop, so I thought this would be a good combo. I haven't watched the entire dvd, but it's only because you need to learn the moves over and over, and I haven't taken the time to do that. For a teen just starting to exercise and needing a moral boost, this would be good for them. (Saving for my little girl when she gets older.)
