Hi - coming to the end of 30DS soon and want to do another round of it but also incorporate another workout dvd a few days a week.. has anyone got any suggestions - I've heard of banish fat, boost metabolism & ripped in 30 etc but don't know which is best.

I have rather chunky thighs & lots of stomach fat so looking to reduce these..

Thanks.

    Got L3 left so far bit more toned on my arms, a few pounds lost and around an inch off each arm, leg, hips, waist etc.

    I do spinning 3/4 times a week too and eat fairly clean.

    I am the same as you on level 2 day 7 now though. I think i am going to start up on Zumba and heavy weights plus I have started the couch to 5k. Maybe i will come back to 30 day shred twice a week because it is such a short workout if i need it. I might be starting baseball once a week too so i will need to practice.

    If you like the shortness and the 3-2-1 system of the 30 day shred then ripped in 30 is the way to go. But if you want a longer workout banish fat boost metabolism is killer, I can barely finish. Its all body weight exercises, she incorporates a lot of kickboxing, regular calisthenics, and some plyometrics. Either way both are very intense workouts.

    When I first read that I thought it said that my before was better than my after... I was about to cry lol! That 'before' picture is a bit deceiving though.... I definitely wasn't very toned!

    After I finished 30 day shred, I did Ripped in 30. Then started doing 6 week 6 pack but it wasnt enough cardio. I like the DVD for toning though. I am now doing Burn Fat Boost Metabolism. I needed more cardio and was ready for a longer workout. Ripped in 30 is around the 30 -35 minute mark, but Burn Fat is 54 minutes. Depends on what you are looking for! I love them all. And i have had results with all!

    I started doing the one hundred pushups. If you have On Demand, I would recommend doing the Jillian Michaels section under Exercise TV.

    Ripped in 30 is similar to the 30S just added a level 4. I loved it and by week 4 I inc. my weight on my dumb bell. Banish fat is great, but I like to use weights also. Right now I'm using her Shred with Weights and I use a 15lb kettle bell. I have to say it's my favorite and I love doing it. It has 2 levels and I go back and forth b/t them. It's a killer workout and last < 30 min with wm up and cool down. I also bike (bluffs) for more cardio, but for toning you can't go wrong with any of them. Good luck in your decision!

    I think I've decided on C25k + Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, so going to do another round of 30DS but drop a day of spinning and incorporate those two 3 days a week.. but not one after the other, will focus on one in morning and one in evening. Need to shock my body!

    Thanks for all your help - hopefully you'll be seeing me on the results page soon (I wish!)

    I love her cardio kickboxing DVD. It's not a program, like 30DS (which I also love), although technically I think it's part of her biggest loser series. Or biggest winner? I love Jillian, though--I throw the kickboxing DVD in every so often just for fun :)
