Jillian Michaels Bodyshred

hmrey76

Hi! Big Jillian fan here. I started 2 years ago with her 30DS and have continued to do her other DVDs. I love the results!

I Just completed body revolution and started bodyshred. Is anyone else out there doing it? Would love to have friends to keep accountable. With the occasional whining of "what does she want us to do?!"

HealthierRayne

what do you think of the bodyshred? I am considering purchasing!

hmrey76

I like it so far. Nothing is impossible!

Have you done her body revolution yet? I would say it is a step up from there...it's more intense. Sorta like body revolution on redbull. lol

I have it and do workouts from it fairly often, but not go be beyond 3 &4 yet. Love the set, but addicted to Insanity Max 30 just now!

The only beach body workout I ever did was the first p90x. It was way too long and then I switched to JM and have never looked back

Did Bodyshred Workout 3 today. Quadtastic... but no quad stretch in the cool down! quote an odd workout... cardio way too easy, but many if the strength moves were really cardio- jumping lunges, squat hops. Not sure if I like it or not.

Where are you at in the programme, OP?

hmrey76

I just finished week 1. I really like this program....so far

I love Jillian's workouts too. I have my favorites I rotate depending on the amount of time I have and what I feeling like doing that particular day. I didn't really like Body Revolution for some reason. There were some workouts I liked and then others I didn't. I have been thinking about getting Bodyshred, so I would love to hear more opinions.

hmrey76

I think body shred is a step above body revolution. I like it so far...

I'm on week 3 I'm not very flexible but its a lot of plyo and up and down but its great I feel it

Started my second round on Sunday, dropped a pant size in week 4 and 8. Week 4 is brutal but I can now do a jack la lane push-up without modifying and a bow and arrow push-up, the are so many variations of push-ups, burpees, mountain climbers the list is endless, keep at it. I use 3 and 6lbs weights the first time round and I'm still using the same weight as a lot of the cardio and weights have you in planks, you really feel it when you repeat a circuit. Keep at it guys

hmrey76

Thanks for the update rosey35!
I finished up week 1 Saturday but hurt my knee Sunday. There is a lot of plyo in this vs her other workouts and I think that is what did it. I hope it heals quick so I can start week 2 soon!

I just started this morning. I love Jillian.

hmrey76

I love Jillian too!!! Started week 2 yesterday.

i just started BodyShred, only done the first 2 work outs so far, but i'm liking it. I loved 30DS and ripped in 30, but wasn't a fan of Body Revolution. I think i like her 3-2-1 style work outs better. I haven't worked out in a while, so jumping into BodyShred has me nervous, but i'm hoping to stick with it. I also run, so i'm doing that inside of the cardio from the workout (unless i can't get out and run for some reason). Good luck!

I am so close to buy this. Its great hearing all of your feedback. I love Jillian's workouts and looking to mix things up a bit. So glad you are all enjoying it!

hmrey76

I love this workout and I do like her 3-2-1 format also. I saw great results on body revolution. Body Shred will probably give better ones! I finished week 1 and felt great. I hurt my knee running so right now no JM. I am SO sad. Can't wait to start BS back up again!

sarochka85

I did Week 5 'Conquer' yesterday... actually found it easy. Bit disappointing!

hmrey76

I will have to keep that in mind. I always find the back workouts easier than the fronts.

I actually just starting teaching a Bodyshred class at my gym and was curious as to how it compares with the bodyshred DVD's (never done them). The class follows the same 3-2-1 format with 4 circuits a 3 min warm up and a 3 minute cool down for a total of 30 minutes. When I went through my instructor training they recommending doing the class no more than 3-4 times a week (if you are actually doing each class at full intensity) to give your body a chance to rest. Do the DVD's give you a rest day or are you doing a workout every day? I really enjoy teaching a taking the class, its a fast, intense and effective workout.

The DVD has you working out 6 days a week, every 3rd day is Cardio. Rest one day a week. Each DVD covers different muscles one day push muscles the next push then cardio, repeat. I am on my second attempt of finishing this program. An injury forced me to stop in week 6 last summer. I really like this program a lot. It's high energy minimal breaks. Okay no breaks but that makes it go by quicker. I'm not a fan of all the different cool out moves. It's impossible to do a few if you have shoulder or back injuries.

hmrey76

funny you mention doing it 3-4 times a week. I was doing it 6 days a week but a knee injury set me back. I was just thinking I was going to restart and do every other day to give my body time to recover. There is a lot of plyo in it. Thanks @tinananan7 for your post!

KatMR16

What were your results with body revolution? I am currently about to move towards work 3 and 4 for two weeks.

MamaFunky

I just did the first workout for BodyShred (Launch) and really enjoyed it! I found it online on dailymotion.com. There were a few other workouts from Bodyshred on there I am going to try before I buy the set. I hope everyone is still enjoying the workouts! Great job!!

hmrey76

Here are my results from body revolution:

-10 lbs
chest: -1.5"
waist: -1.5"
Hips: -1.75"
Thigh: -1.5"
Arm: -0.5"

tinanana7

Thanks for the feedback! I really appreciate it! I checked out some of the videos on daily motion and will probably be incorporating some of the circuits into my class I do love her workouts!

I did JIllian's Banish Fat and Boost Metabolism a few days ago and liked it. My watch said I burned 350 calories doing it. Everything on in was doable also nothing really crazy.

I have been using shred with weights with the kettle bells. My arms are coming back around. Just need extra hip and thigh shaping. Does sje have lower body sculpting tapes?

sarochka85

Yeah, she has one called Killer Buns and Thighs and that is the best of the bunch, I think.

I'm a longtime fan of Body Revolution, got in sick shape with those workouts & I still use them. I just got Body Shred and will be starting tomorrow. I'll probably start with 1&2.

hmrey76

Good Luck! Hope you enjoy it. I only finished week 1 then got a knee injury. I just went back to BR to easy back into the crazy plyo. Once I finish up phase 2 & 3 again of BR, I will begin bodyshred again.
