Jillian Michaels

is kicking my butt into shape in 30 Day Shred. I did a 4 week Hip Hop Ab challenge, during which I got fabulous results. However, no where in those 4 weeks did I feel the muscle fatigue that Jillian Michaels has induced in 3 days of Level 1. I know that I'm gaining strength so I'll keep it up. But DANG! I feel for her Biggest Loser contestants. I at least get to shut her off after 30 minutes.

    I'm considering it. I need to lose about 6-8lb so hoping it will get me in the mood for training again.

    So glad to hear the Jillian Michaels program is a good one. Saw the Body Revolution infomercial last weekend and was tempted to get it, but thought it would be another let down. I have 25 pounds to lose and hope this will jump start the weight loss.

    I just started Level 1 on Friday and only doing it a few days a week in addition to other dvd's throughout the week since I get bored easy - but those 20+ minutes are no joke! I love the workout so far!

    JM is THE BOMB!

    Every workout I have done of hers kicks my booty. I've purchased her Making the Cut book and followed it... great results! I've also pre-ordered her newest book coming out on Feb 12th... so excited!

    I'm doing it! On day 8 now! My butt hurts all the time because of the squat she perpetually has you in. I actually don't find her demeaning at ALL, I find her very motivating. I don't watch TBL tho, I hear she is very harsh.

    Anyway, add me if you want!

    I LOVE Jillian! I pretty much do at least one of her videos every single day! I have at least five of her videos and have borrowed other ones. I am obsessed! I am also a glutton for punishment, so beware! They can really kick your butt at times! Those duck walks in Level 2 of Ripped in 30 (I think?) almost killed me!

    I feel like such a wuss - I did six days of level and quit - my upper body strength is zilch (ok - maybe not zilch - but not good). But after everything I have read - I need to suck it up and get back to it! Add me if you would like!

    Kathy, I see how you exercise every day and you are NO WUSS. Upper body is hard at first! Don't use weights, or use one pounders!
