    My only negative is the warm-up should be longer. I don't feel my muscles are warm after only 3 minutes, so I do 20 mins of cardio and then shred. I also don't agree with doing it everyday due to muscle soreness, and possibilities of injurys (but thats the Sports Therapist coming out in me I guess, because I treat a lot of muscles that have been overworked). Apart from those issues its FAB and I've seen a great difference in my body and lost inches off my waist.

    I tend to do it 4 times a week.

    I am part of a challenge that started on 01/10/11 doing the shred every day for 30 days. Had I not signed up for the challenge I would have quit after a day or two - that would have been my loss. I don't know that it's doing anything for my weight loss, I can't say my measurements have changed a great deal. BUT I can tell that my upper body strength has improved greatly. I can tell that I am gaining a sense of accomplishment and overcoming my "quitter" mentality. Those things are very important to me.

    That being said, another benefit(?) is the crying that comes along with the first few days of each level. I figure crying is good for the sinuses and clears out the tear ducts so all is good. ;>

    I have the 30 day shred dvd and have done it faithfully for 30 days. I love the workout I'm loosing inches for sure but I only lost 4 pounds since i started it. I do like Jillian though and she really kicks your butt in a small amount of time.

    30 day shred is a great workout, but I cannot stand her voice. Shred it with weights is my favorite because her voice just seems softer. :wink:

    I don't own any of her dvds because I'm kinda afraid of her. :embarassed:

    Ha! Me too. Maybe when I get a little more in shape I'll think about taking on Jillian. She's scary.

    Does anyone know how to log the 30 day shred in the exercise log? I'm wondering!
    I find Jillian scary on The Biggest Loser as well. She's supposed to be intimidating, so that the contestants don't give up. She has to be mean! In her videos, she's encouraging. It's all good! You'll be hurting, and know that it's working!
    I'm starting today so I can be done with it at the end of February!
