Reviews I'm reading on amazon say this workout is actually...gasp...fun? WTF? Jillian and fun are not two words I'd ever use together in a sentence. Who has tried it? Set us straight?!?!!? I'm intrigued to give it a go now!

    Oh, sorry, might be good to mention that - the new one that we'll be doing, Shed & Shred - people are seriously using fun & jillian in the SAME SENTENCE!

    I just did level 1 and 2 back to back...I did think level 1 was a little fun, but not so much for level 2!!! I was sweating my butt off! I'm thinking I'm gonna be sore tomorrow!!

    I have given Level 1 a go just to see what was in store. I wouldn't exactly call it "fun" but it is an awesome workout. I am yet to try Level 2 but I doubt that is any more fun lol!

    I did roughly half of level one tonight (faced an intense foot pain that refused to go away so I took the hint and stopped) - and, actually, it was kind of "fun" - it's a great workout. Can't wait to get thru the whole damn thing!

    I did all of level 1 today and roughly half of level 2. I must say, I dig it! It's not a typical workout - def lots of dif moves to it. I burned some wicked calories, too (almost 600 in the 45 minutes I did). :)

    @sd...I just read about your burn from 12-18...that is sweet!! My damn HRM hasn't been working for at least a month, so I have no idea how to log it...ugh!! I'll just go with circuit training, (boring!!!) I replaced the battery in the chest strap, but that didn't seem to help....yes, it's pissing me off!!!

    Also, did we decide how many days per week we were going to do Shed and Shred?

    No, that's a REALLY good question - I'm wondering that myself and am open to opinions.

    As far as the burn, I was impressed! I wanna do the whole thing in the next day or two and see what my burn is!

    I was also shocke to see so many on Amazon calling it fun, but it helped me try to look at it as fun when I tried it, and I guess it was fun! I did level 1 only and liked it.

    Just did level 1 for the first time, and I agree - it was a lot of fun!!!
