    "Shredding" the weight off :smile:

    It's a workout by Jillian Michaels that combines strength and cardio in the same workout. 30 days is the "cycle" of the workout.

    Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. Lose up to 20 pounds in 30 Days! That's what the DVD cover says anyways! I am on Day 8 of Level 1 and have lost 3.9 inches in 4 days.

    Jillian Michaels "30 Day Shred" workout. It has three levels, you do level 1 for 10 days, level 2 for 10 days, then level 3 for 10 days. Each level takes approx. 25 minutes but they really work you hard :) You get good results by the end of the month...I am going on day 5 of level 3. So far I've lost 8 lbs., don't know how many inches but my clothes definitely fit better!

    Hi Wheelieblade-

    I take it from your user name that you are in a wheelchair most/all of the time-
    I did a quick search on collage videos (which in my opinion is the best resource for workout dvd's) and while I did not find a workout dvd specifically for wheel chair bound individuals- the do have several chiar based dvds- some of which may at least partially work for you

    http://www.collagevideo.com/searchresults.aspx?type=all&search=chair

    yesterday, while cheering on my husband at his half marathon I also watched the hand bike and wheel chair participants - they were incredible and superfast - perhaps as one of your eventual goals you can include participatng in a race :-)

    good luck!

    To be technical ;)
    Shredded is greater than ripped.
