Under my tree: Jillian Michaels' 3-in-1 Aerobic Step - Burlington County Times Posted: 22 Dec 2010 05:34 AM PST Just when I thought I was going to get a break from "The Biggest Loser," my husband and I opened our Christmas presents to each other. We open them early every year; it's a tradition we started to celebrate the anniversary of his proposal/our engagement, which happened just before Christmas 2006. Anyway, I ripped the wrapping paper off a big heavy box to see...Jillian Michaels smirking at me. I can't get away from her, no matter how I try! Hubby got me Jillian's 3-in-1 Aerobic Step, which is really a gift for both of us because we do a circuit workout together on the weekends. I've said before that I highly recommend circuit training if you've hit a wall with cardio and weights and want to lean up and tone your body. And even if this step apparatus didn't bear Jillian's ubiquitous name/face, I would recommend it as an addition to your circuit. You can use it as a step, a balance board or a rocker board, and the detachable resistance bands allow you to work additional muscle groups. It's easy to switch between the three forms. I like using the balance board feature, standing on the board in a half-squat while doing bicep curls with the bands, or doing mountain climbers while holding onto the board. The step isn't very high, so you'll definitely want to get creative when you use it -- maybe do jump-squats or lunges on and off it. And if you can't incorporate the step into a circuit, it comes with a DVD (starring Jillian, of course) and poster filled with recommended exercises (modeled by Jillian), so you can use it for a full workout. Fitness-related gifts are my absolute favorite, so I'd say the hubby hit a home run with this one. Well, maybe a triple. I asked for a Bosu.
