jillian Michaels 30 day shred?

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.

Thumbs up baby!!

It's a great work out for the limited time I have some mornings! Plus, it gets me sweating!! Whoo hoo.

Fantastic. Only 30 minutes and you will feel it the next day...

Did it, liked it, got a lot of good out of it,,,, need to do it again.

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 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.

Oh my gosh you all convinced me!!!! I have 3 more pds to reach my mini goal and then I really want to get to 125 so this is good news that there is something out there that works at home!!!:happy:

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!

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 did it for the first time tonight and it she kicked my butt! Was a huge wakeup call as to how out of shape I am. But, now I'm excited to work to get to where it's not too bad and move up the levels.

I bought it today and tried it. I really had no idea that I was that out of shape! That is my new goal, to at least keep up!!

I am a new convert. I started last Thursday after picking up the 3 pack from Costco. it came with the 30 day shred, the banish fat/boost metabolism and the target areas dvd's. I will do the shred thru 10 days at each level, then start rotating the 3 videos. I have lost 2.5 inches on my stomach and an inch everywhere else in only 5 days. I have lost 3-4 pounds (though i have also been eating better too). in one week. Huge fan here. I am hugely out of shape but love that i can up the intensity i put into the workout dpending on my energy level. Yesterday i did level on with mostly 5 lb weights and followed Natalie for most. Today I could not follow Natalie for all of it, and used 3lb weights for the second rep of some of the exercises. I can not believe the changes so fast

I read on another post to log it in under circuit training.

How? How are you doing this? lol
I did it Wednesday night and was seriously sore yesterday. Today, it's even worse. How are you able to do it every day? Did I do somethng wrong? Or am I just THAT fat lol

Omg it kicked my but the first few times i did it. It made my knees sore and i could barely walk the next few days.

I really need to get back to doing it though. I love the sweating afterwards makes me feel accomplished.
