I just recently purchased Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred.. and I am looking forward to starting this. I have been told it is quite effective. All you need is a set of 3 pound hand weights (12.00) and the DVD (9.00).

-- Ahh! Let the burn begin!

    I started this on the first. So I am on day 3 and oh boy is it a work out. But I have already lost 2 lbs, with doing this and keeping within my calories. Good luck to everyone doing this. I hope we all see the outcome we are wanting to see.

    This must be my kick in the right direction... The 30 day shred dvd was at the check out stand this morning when I was at the grocery store, and it was on sale for $7. It seems so out of place next to the candy bars, and I spent the time in line trying to decide if it was worth it. I think I am going to have to drop by on the way home from work and pick it up AND use it :)

    It's light circuit training - takes about 30 minutes.

    5 minutes welcome, light warmup & stretch
    6 minutes circuit #1
    - 3 minutes of strength w/bells
    - 2 minutes or cardio
    - 1 minute of abs

    - 1 minute get situated for next circuit, little breather

    6 minutes circuit #2
    - 3 minutes of strength w/bells
    - 2 minutes or cardio
    - 1 minute of abs

    - 1 minute get situated for next circuit, little breather

    6 minutes circuit #3
    - 3 minutes of strength w/bells
    - 2 minutes or cardio
    - 1 minute of abs

    5 minutes cooldown/stretch out - and it adds up to 30 minutes.

    It's fun, the time goes quickly, and it WILL kick your butt at first. There are 3 levels in the workout, so you do level one for 10 days or so, then level 2 for 10, then level 3. You will definitely see progress as you go through it, and I plan to go through it again soon.

    I started the 30 day shred today. I did it once before but had to stop after Level 2 Day 3. I injured my neck. The plank exercises are what did it, I think. So I started L1 D1 didn't use any weights yet, I will add them after a couple of days. Might stay in level 1 longer than 10 days just to make sure that my arms and shoulders are ready for those damn planks in L2 this time!

    I find the push ups to be the hardest in L1. The last set of abs, the bicycle crunches, I find are ok but man it kills my legs to hold them up at that 90 degree angle!!!

    Good luck everyone!!
