Jillian Michaels extreme shed and shred

There's a Level 1 and Level 2 and one where she combines both levels (that's a killer). Its a tough workout, there are modifiers, if you can call them that. She does recommend doing it 5 -6 days a week. I like the mix of cardio, plyo, isometric, yoga and martial arts.

Just tried this tonight for the first time. Wow. I am so completely out of shape! I barely made it through level 1, but I did like the slightly different setup. I have several of her dvd's, and although I liked them and they are a great workout, I would tend to get bored with the 3-2-1 setup, mostly with repeating the moves each section. This one she does have you repeat, but it seems like there's more variety, more moves, and it moves a little faster, which I like. I tend to get so bored that I dread pushing play after a few days using a dvd (not just jillian, any dvd). I can't say I won't get bored with this too, but I personally liked it better than the others and hope to stick with it. I'll be on level 1 for a while, so I may do it every other day with something different mixed in on the opposite days.

I had been doing insanity 6 days a week since July 16th and finished 3 rounds back to back. I was ready for a change this week. Started extreme shed and shred on Monday, I jumped right into the 80 minute advanced option. I have done it 3 days in a row and my highest calorie burn on hrm was 672 so far, lowest was 629, also had a 652. Its been a nice change from insanity.

Yep it's part of my usual rotation! It's a great calorie burn. I usually do the full 60 minute workout (she just combines levels 1 and 2) on the weekends when I have more time. I'll do either Level 1 or Level 2 during the week.

I started Jillian Michael's Extreme Shed & Shred 2 days ago, today is day 3. I am really sore in my calves and back. Since you ladies are much further into it than me I was curious if you noticed a difference in your stomach the 2nd day, Mine is already a bit lifted. But thus far, it is tough but makes me feel great

Holy moly! Just did this video an hour ago! There was a puddle of sweat on the floor! I have NMTZ, BFBM and 6w6p completed. I loved Extreme shed. I found it very challenging and it gave me insane energy! Im ready to spit shine the house! I'm starting insanity next month and the combo I have chosen this month to prepare is level 1 6w6p and Banish fat, the next day l2 6w6p with both levels of extreme. It's way different from her normal stuff but I loved it. Felt very challenged lots of variety! Since January 13th I have lost 52 pounds thanks to these DVDs!

I love the DVD. I really get a great workout out of it. I do it 3 x week. My clothes fit better but the scale isn't moving. (oh well) But this week I am going to mix in some Turbo Fire HIIT's to get more of a calorie burn and to speed up my process.

Yes! I do the workout every other morning and it kicks my butt! Love it

I really liked it.

Funny, I was just checking out her other videos and contemplating shed and shred. I enjoyed her ultimate Yoga meltdown but wanted something more intense. Maybe I will give it a try. My only concern is the number of people reporting injuries from the activities in the video.

I think its all about form. As long as you are using proper form, breathing correctly, you will be fine. Lots of people are so concentrated on going as fast as her, or just hurrying to get it done they dont stop and reallt concentrate on form. I've been doing her dvds since beginning of October, and I have never gotten hurt.
