I Love You Jillian Michaels!!!

I can't wait to start the 30-day shred! Is it the only workout you're doing or do you add something else? Just curious, because my exercise goals are currently at 60 min/day 6 days a week, and I'm not sure if I should lower them or do another workout.

Thanks, I can't imagine only working out 25 minutes a day. As hard as that workout is, I've just ended up with more energy the couple of times I've done it now. I'd feel completely lazy if I didn't do anything else. I understand about the craving exercise and alone time, though. It's kind of comforting when the world is blocked out and it's just you, your workout, and music.

I'm with ya! Love her 30 day shred! I do a variety of exercises, some days it's Jillian, other days I do P90 or different treadmill workouts. I am currently on level 2, but I mix it up with other cardio workouts too. She kicks my butt and I get a great workout, but I have a hard time doing only the 25-30 minutes....feels like I'm not quite done so I add to it. You're SO right about the toning...nice to see definition again!

I've got Banish Fat and No More Trouble Zones as they're part of a workout challenge I'm doing in October on MFP ( http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/122455-october-2010-jillian-michaels-30-day-slim-down-challenge?page=1 ). I haven't tried either yet, just did the 30 DS L1 twice this week to see what I was getting myself into, but I'll let you know how I feel about it after I try it.

I can't say I love her but I do love her results!! (lol) Ya'll should try her "Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism." Its a lot like "Shred" but longer. You will be cursing and sweating but its an amazing work-out.
btw, I was just on her site and she's got a new dvd "Shred it, with weights;" if anyone gets it, can you post your thoughts on it?
Have a great day, MFP

I have her new DVD and am enjoying it. It's a kettlebell workout, and I started with a 10 lb kettlebell. I've been doing level 1 for a week or 2 now and it's a lot of fun. The workout goes by really quickly - the 25 minutes seems to fly by. It's killer on the hamstrings! The workout itself is really different from her other DVDs, although it's still circuits. I'd recommend it.

BTW, I too love JM. I had AWESOME results from the 30 Day Shred and have since done her 30 Day Slimdown plan. I'm totally addicted to her workouts!

I love the results I got from the Shred... However my idolization of her went out the window when she became a "GoDaddy Girl". Anyone who thinks that is a GOOD and POSITIVE thing is just nuts.

If you like her DVDs you should try Bob Harper's. Much longer and more intense - and I was saying that before JM sold out. I do laugh at the fact that he actually says on one of them "10 minute workout? 20 minute workout? You know what that is? That's a warm up!" Can't help but wonder if he's got the Shred in mind when he says that.

GoDaddy as a company tends to be pretty chauvinistic and masochistic. It's essentially a website domain factory, but ALL their advertisements feature scantily clad women - usually some form of celebrity. Think Hooters for websites. It just made me lose quite a bit of respect for her that she'd sell out to a company like that.

Wow!...Seriously!?!? I didn't know she became a GoDaddy Girl. ICK! That actually bums me out.
I plan on getting more of her DVDs because her workouts rock....but you've got me intrigued about Bob now. I'll have to get some of his DVDs too...
