    Awesome! I love it. It's a great workout in a short amount of time. And it allows for a lot of flexibility. You can make it easier or harder, depending on where you are at. I'm in the process of upping the size of my handweights, to give myself a new challenge.

    I've been rotating the 3 workouts from Shred (with running) for over a year and I am still not tired of it. Love JM - I also recommend her Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones videos. If you need more convincing, check out the rockin' reviews on Amazon. =)

    LOVE IT!!!!! Lost 5 lbs in two weeks when I went from level one to level two. Lost something like 5" in a couple weeks from doing level one. I can honestly say, once you start doing it you will see no point in doing any other workout. You get great results in 20 minutes! I also find I can't watch another workout DVD. She is so too the point that I find other things too fluffy and too slow, too much waiting to see the next move! I do suggest watching it first. I've got about 7 of my friends to start doing it and the ones who didn't watch it first gave up part way through.
    Best of luck!!!

    I loved it although I did need to add more cardio. I got toned and lost inches, but no pounds. Since I've done it I've lost some pounds and plan to incorporate it back in, with her banish fat, boost metabolism.

    I love the shred because its an intense workout in a short amount of time. If you don't have much time, this will make the most of it for sure.

    I love Jillian Michaels! Since I have had more time on my hands, I alternate her other two videos with running for my week. She really helps tone up and lose inches - as I lost a ton when I did 30 Day Shred.

    Im on my second day so far...I love it! I do the 30 day shred in the morning and then in the evening I do either 25 min. of low intensity cardio with Bob Harper ( from the Biggest Loser) or 20 min. of the boot camp.

    Does anyone know about how many calories you burn up from the 30 day shred? I know it varies from everyone, Im just looking for an approx. Also, when ya'll add it into your daily exercise, what do you put it under?

    Thanks!

    I burned 250 yesterday doing Level 1 day 1, and today only 200 doing level 1 day 2.
    I'm 5'5" and 177lbs. I just add it as my own exercise that way I can add the exact time and cals from my HRM

    I like the workout but I'm not sure I like JM that much as a trainer, she's too serious for me. I have been doing Turbo Jam for a while and had gotten used to Chalene Johnson who is much more upbeat and enthusiastic.
    Based on all the reviews tho, I will stick to the 30 day shred~!

    Is it all cardio?
    3 circuit training workouts that get progressively harder. You do level 1 for 10 days, then level 2 for 10, the level 3. It worked for me, I got much more fit on it.

    Each workout is different, but they all have the same structure. About a 5 minute warmup and stretch cycle, then 3 different circuits of exercise.

    Each circuit is:
    3 minutes (lightweight-girly) strength training. I do some exercises with 15lb dumbs, some with 8's. It's hard enough.
    2 minutes of Cardio
    1 minute of abs.

    Makes 6 minutes per circuit. You go through 3 different circuits, so with get-up-get-down-shake-it-around time it comes to about 20 minutes. Finish off with a 5 minute cooldown & stretch and it's a 30 minute thing. It's fun, the time goes really quickly.

    I love it as well. I just ordered 30 day shred, no more trouble zones and banish fat, boost metabolism on exercise tv for only $25.15, no shipping costs. That is pretty good. I love the shred cause you can get in a good workout in a short amount of time. I started using it on Comcast's on demand exercise section. Then I didn't see it anymore and knew that I had to have Jillian's DVD's.

    Definitely a keeper!:bigsmile:
