    I am doing 30 day shred right now. Its a workout plan, but I am going to check this out. I have done 5 days of the 30 day shred, and I can already tell a big difference. Not just in that workout either. I was never a big runner, but when I initially lost weight I trained myself to be. I fell out of counting once I hit my goal pant size, then I fell out of eating well, and then out of working and now I am back here on MFP to get back down to that size 6! Anyway, the point of that is that I am having to retrain myself to run. I struggled over Christmas making it to 15 minutes of jogging, and hadn't tried since I started the shred. I went running with a friend of mine today and ended pushing her into our last mile for a 2.5 mile jog!! I went with so she would push me to two, but I felt so good I wanted to keep going. Jillian is brilliant.

    So, do you just download the workout and do it from your computer?

    You can get it free off your TV if you have Comcast...it's on "On-Demand"...it might work off the computer too!!

    I did buy the three DVDs...I did the Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism today...it's gonna hurt tomorrow.

    I started this rotation on 12/28, and have been also running 3 times a week. I have not done the Quick Trouble Zone workout, because I don't want to workout in my family room. I have been using Jackie Warners new DVD Power Circuit Training, and using the Total Body Circuit workout that she has on there. It is 40 min. long, and was similar to what I saw on ExerciseTV OnDemand. So far I'm enjoying this rotation.

    Just checking with everyone on how they are doing with this rotation. I just started week 3, and am having a great time. Is anyone going to add Shred #3 into this rotation? I noticed that she didn't include that one at all. How heavy of weights are you all trying out? I have been using 5lb weights.

    Started my last week of this rotation, and am seeing some great results. Today was the combo of Shred 2 & 1. Really liked getting the harder workout done, because Shred #1 seemed so easy after that. :laugh:

    How is everyone else doing?

    Today I did day 17.. and I have to say at day 7 the workout was a breeze, NOT true for level two. This workout is so tough. Its not getting easier, but I am still working through it. You know how Jillian always says she wants you screaming?? Well today completing the squats with a v-raise or whatever I was definitely screaming haha. Wonder what the neighbors in my apartment thought...

    Well today for me is the Quick Trouble Zones, but I'm thinking of subbing in the Upper and Lower body workouts from her new Last Chance Workout. I have not even tried this one out yet, so it might be a nice change of pace. Oh I also got in a run on my treadmill also.

    Count me in, too. I'm on day 4. I already had the 30 day shred video but ordered the other two on Monday. Right now, I'm doing the shred until the new videos come. I can already tell a difference in my endurance.

    This is the second time I've done the shred. I hate Jillian just as much! :o) I got discouraged first time around because I wasn't loosing weight-just inches. This time I'm committed to logging my calories and exercising.

    Let's keep each other posted on our progress!!

    Gay, Glad you are trying this rotation out. I have to say that I have not lost a lot of weight with this rotation, but then I don't have a lot to lose. I am totally happy with the results in my arms. I will be using my tape measure after I'm finished, because I know that there will be results. Great idea on watching your calorie intake during the rotation. :wink:

    I have not tried out the Last Chance workout yet, but am hoping to try it out before this rotation ends on Sunday. :wink:
