Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred...reviews?

HI I HAVE SEEMED TO HAVE GAINED WEIGHT, IM ON DAY 11 FIRST DAY OF LEVEL 2, ALTHOUGH I DO FEEL MORE DEFINED PERHAPS ITS MUSCLE BUILDING, I AM DOING BITS ON MY EXCERCISE BIKE AND ZUMBA ALSO

I did it about 2 years ago, i did 30days level 2 and 30days level 3. Each month i lost about 7-8#
I also would do some extra cardio. I would suggest weighing in when you are done with the 30 days. Level 2 is a arm toner, i loved my arms at the end. I cant do it now because i cant work my pecs too much but when i can i will! This classic jillian dvd is her best in my opinion, ive done a bunch from hers and this one is the only one i have not given away, its worth like gold!
Good luck!

just ordered this DVD after seeing reviews, can't wait to start it even though it does sound like a challenge! If level 2 is the hardest can you just start on that for 30 days I'm assuming you'd see even more results! If I can walk the next day ill try do some extra cardio like running or cycling as the calorie expenditure doesn't seem like much

apologies if ive already posted this link.

I started the 30DS July 8 - i have taken two days off so far. I didn't measure myself -(i do notice a difference though in my arms/back and abs) In two weeks I was down 4.2 lbs - (i only get on the scale every 2-4weeks). I am still on level 1 because I will not go to the next level til I master every one of the moves - the squats/arm raises are my biggest challenge - as soon as i can do it all without missing a beat i'll move on. ALMOST THERE THOUGH!!!! It is a love/hate relationship with the dvd once i get through the warm up and first round - its all good i can keep up. I also walk 2 miles prior to doing the video every morning. It's the perfect 20 minutes... so i'm all down before 7 am. fits into my busy schedule. If it takes me 90 days to do all three levels then that's what it takes.....

I did 20 days of it 2 years ago then moved and didn't have space or a tv (excuses excuses) but I decided to do it again. Just finished day two level one. I already feel better. I do want to add the treadmill in a few days a week but we will see. Please anyone feel free to add me for motivation and accountability!

What do you log this under im MFP?? I've been doing circuit training but that doesn't seem to be 'enough' cals burned.. I'm drenched by the time i'm done lol.. any suggestions?

Hey all! I have a question and im hoping someone has an answer
I started the 30 day shred ( on day 3 now) but unlike the recommendations i cant do the workout everyday, i can only do it 5 times a week with 2 rest days back to back. If i stay on my diet, and give the workout my all when i do it, will i still see results?? I know its had to say but just an opinion would help. Thanks!!

u can surely do that ....

Day 2 and I am walking a mile too. Muscles that I've not noticed before are really sore. Tried it with 5lb weights and couldn't lift my arms so I decided to use the 2lb ones to start with then move up to 3 then 5.

I just got the30 day shred and plan to start it tomorrow, I'm currently 206 and just wondering how quick people made it do their goal weight using the 30 day shred?

I'm on level 3; I finish Thursday with my 30 days. I feel stronger and have definitely lost inches. Weight-wise maybe 6 lbs? I'd have to look back. When I finish, I'll begin ripped in 30. Any other recommendations? I think maybe the second 30DS, then Body Revolution? This is something that is never going to stop; I have come to realize I need to keep the next goal constantly in mind because being fit isn't something you achieve then stop exercising & watching what you eat! :-)

I love the shred. I did 30 days and no it wasn't easy I lost 9 pounds not sure on the inches but definitely lost those too! I would recommend this to any one who want to change there body. Staring round 2 of the shred tomorrow . Can't wait to see more results .

I have been doing the 30 day shred for a little over a month, I lost 12 lbs!! It's tough but if you keep up with it and move up through the levels it makes a huge difference!! My sister was the one who recommended it to me, she went from a size 16 to a size 10 in 6 months and is now a size 8 and looks awesome!! It is a great workout!! I'm really glad I tried it!!

did my first workout this morning. watched last night to know what i was in for at 530 this morning. i thought, ok, jumping jacks, running in place, 20 min. i can handle this. YEA... OK... NOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!! holy crap, i've been in the gym 3 weeks straight and i sweat more doing this than an hour of elliptical. i could not do it all, i mean i finished the 20 mins but i had to stop several times. and geesh really i'm 48 i used to do jumping jacks all the time.... OMG!!!!!!!!!!! seriously, i was dying. so level 1 yea its easy but it will get ya and she knows what she's doing. i'll be back tomorrow for day 2, i will finish this

I haven't read all of the posts so if I'm repeating, please forgive me. If you don't want to drop any cash, check out YouTube first. if you can't get what you want, TRY THE FREE LIBRARY!

You may have a couple days weight, but the local library will likely get you a copy of anything you want for free. Talk to the ladies (men?) there. If you explain that you'd like to really do the 30DS, they may check it out to you for 30 days...my library ladies would probably give me 150 days if I asked...make friends there. Seriously though, request it there and ask them about it. You can probably work something out.

And if you're like me, you'll find a technological way to make it so you can make a copy and move on while you check the forrealz copy back in. Message me

Edited to add: Always try CraigsList for workout things you want. Now is not the best time since everyone on the planet is feeling fat right now, but in a month plus, Craigs List will go back to it's normal state of being full of everything to do with working out...DVDs, treadmills, gear, etc....for free or super, duper cheap!
