I own ripped in 30 and havent done it yet and netflix has 6week6pack, no more trouble zones, and shred it with weights... im not sure what to do... i want too do like 2 of the together but not sure what the best mix is. I have about 10-15 pounds too lose all over my body (mostly hips and thighs and belly pooch). Any suggestions? I really want to do this right and stay motivated.

    Truth be told, I love to hate this woman and I complain about her DVD's but they are all really good. I really like 6 week 6 pack and am loving ripped in 30 (Well, love to hate) and no more trouble zones is tough but one of my favorites! A rotation of any of thes would be beneficial, if you stick with them! :)

    I have several Jillian Michaels DVDs, 30day does the whole bod, do that a for a couple of weeks and you'll notice a diference, then mix it up one day do one, then the following day a different one, you are probably best doing one each day rather than an hr solid as you'll get bored :)

    I think the 30 Day Shred is amazing. Jillian Michaels has many workout videos. I just have to love her, she is no nonsense and she kicks my butt!!!

    And I know it sounds kooky, but I also think Carmen Electra's Strip to fit (the second video in series only!) is good. My cousin lost all of her weight and toned up by doing that workout. I have tried it and it felt great. Now that I am sticking to a regiment, I am going to try it again. Although, there's a chance that after doing Jillian's video, this might now be too easy for me. I'll have to see. lol

    Hope this helped a little. :)

    Exercise TV has a lot of the JM DVDs free on Demand. The videos are shortened or just 1 part but if you want to try before you buy it's a good idea to check them out on Demand.
  • I switch it up during the week. Here's an example of my usual workout week:

    MONDAY: Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism (55min)
    TUESDAY: No More Trouble Zones (55min)
    WEDNESDAY: REST DAY - usually go for a walk or something light to keep active
    THURSDAY: Ripped in 30 (Level 2 - 30 min), 6 Week Six Pack (Level 2 - 30min)
    FRIDAY: Yoga Meltdown (both workouts - each 30 minutes long)
    SATURDAY: Ripped in 30 (Level 4 - 30 min), then either 6 Week Six Pack (Level 1 - 30min) or another Ripped in 30 workout.

    I've moved this schedule to lighter then harder workouts, up and down, depending on how tired I am that day. If my muscles are still sore, I do one of her workouts that is effective but easier for me (like Yoga Meltdown or a Level 1-2 workout from 30 Day Shred or Ripped in 30), but it's important to make sure you get lighter days and harder days throughout the week to cause muscle confusion. I got back into my size 3 jean shorts after having a baby using this schedule!!! JM rocks.

    Be sure to check out her protein powder too! The vanilla makes great breakfast smoothies.

    Good luck!

    I've been doing 30 Day Shred for 10 days and I plan on adding in her Burn Fat Boost Metabolism dvd a few days a week to supplement. Netflix has that one as well if you're interested, it's a lot of cardio so it will get your heart rate going and will really burn fat, which is what I need too at this point. After that, I'm going to focus on toning, so I'll use No More Trouble Zones, as that dvd incorporates a lot of exercises with weights. For now, I would recommend 30 Day Shred (also available on Netflix) along with Burn Fat Boost Metabolism. 30DS works your entire body, plus she uses handweights (3-5lb) so you get some resistance training as well. Good luck!!
