I'm looking into purchasing one of her workout dvds, but I'm not sure which one! Anyone have a good experience with them and want to give me a suggestion? :)

    just completed 30DS shred and liked it. i think that is where most people start with JM dvd's. i just started RI30 today and really enjoyed it, but no way i could have done it successfully w/out completing 30DS 1st.

    I love J.M's dvds. I completed 30 day Shred, Ripped in 30, and Shred & Shred in that order. . I did my last one last July right before I started training for my first marathon. Plan to start them up again tomorrow. You can checkout my profile pic for the results. I think they are an excellent buy for $10 each. You'll have own personal trainer in your home.

    I also have 3 of her DVDs...and I would start with 30 Day Shred. It's much harder than I thought it would be, and you can always increase your weights and step it up to a harder level. This is probably my 5th or 6th time doing 30DS...you will see results within your first week as long as you eat right and really give it your all :)

    I agree with the others, start with the 30ds. Even if you find it hard, keep at it as you'll amaze yourself at how fast your body learns to keep up. Once you finish that one you'll be ready for any of her other dvd's. Her 90 day body revolutions series is good as starts out at the complete beginner level and progressively gets harder. But it is $$$.

    I own all JM dvd's and love all of them! I did just get no more trouble zones and banish fat boost metabolism for christmas so i will se how that one goes. At first I did 30 day shred followed by 6w6p the killer buns and thighs take before and after pics you will see a major difference within 30 days!

    30Day shred is on youtube if you want a test run.

    You can find a lot of her stuff on YouTube without having to buy anything.

    I did 30DS and had to stop midway thru level 2 because I got injured. I liked it...but sometimes I would get so mad at Jillian that I would start cussing at the TV telling her to shut the fak up :P

    LOVE JM dvds!! I have 30 DS, plan on getting ALL of her other ones.

    I have only gotten half way through 30DS before and had stuff come up and fell off the wagon. But, just in 14 days, I took my belt in a notch, my belly was less round/more flat, my pants were loose, my ring was loose. I also ate pretty clean during that time.

    I am about to start over tomorrow, and I am ordering her Body Revolution program this month to do after 30 ds.

    :) I am looking forward to it!

    I've done 30DS, RI30, burn fat boost metabolism and I'm now doing body revolution. My favourite so far has been RI30. Starting with 30DS (free on YouTube) would be a good start! Though, if you have the $$, body revolution would be great too because it starts out very slow and beginner for the first couple weeks.

    I've done 30DS and RI30 (ok I have 2 to go), Burn Fat Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones. Love them all but definitely would recommend starting with 30 Day Shred. The results from that are always amazing.

    I just started her Shred with Weights (I bought Shred and Shredd too, but it looked scary). It's intense, and at my low fitness level I can't do it straight through... I take little breaks throughout to breath or do something a bit lighter intensity while the DVD plays, and then get right back in the second I feel like it's safe. I'm a big gal, but I never felt like if I did one of the moves I would hurt myself, which I liked. I wish I'd been able to find the 30 days shred, because I bet it's a bit more my speed.

    I started with 30DS like most people i think....i'd say it's a great start with her vids....Last year I'd use it as a 'quick' addition to a workout or on a really busy day, even if i didn't do the 30 days straight...but even just the 30 days straight is killer. I'd go with it as a starting point....plus you get a good feel for how she is in videos. I'm not sure if it's true, but others have said you can find the first part of 30 DS on Youtube, so you can try and check it out and see if it's on there, and if it is, if it's for you.

    I love her dvds! I started with 30 day shred but I didn't finish it. I have killer buns and thighs that still needs a test run and I completed her banish fat boost metabolism dvd on friday - that killed me! I couldn't walk the day after! Tried her yoga dvd too but I turned it off because I wasn't that all into yoga :s will give it another go.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jillian Michaels! I am a total fitness dvd hoarder and the only ones I keep going back to are Jillian's!!! I think 30 day shred is the best place to start if you're a beginner. Ripped in 30 is the next step up and a little more challenging. If you're willing to pay for it (or find it somewhere online for free lol), I would suggest her 90 day system "Body Revolution". I'm on the 3rd Phase right now and I have gotten better results than I got from p90x! If you have any questions about any of her other dvds let me know because I seriously own every single one lol.
