I keep hearing raves about Jillian Michael's workout DVD's. I'm looking into buying one..but which one is the best? I'm going home in 6 weeks and I want to tone fast!

    I like 30 day shred and 6 week 6 pack. Those are the only two that I have tried.

    I just started her 30 day shred..it kicks my *kitten*!! It's in 3 levels and after level one I could feel the burn. So I imagine 2 and 3 are going to be even more intense. Good Luck!

    If you're new to working out at home I'd recommend the 30-Day Shred. It's a good workout and if you stick with it you WILL see results. Banish Fat Boost Metabolism is a heart-pumping cardio workout, and No More Trouble Zones is a more intense strength workout. Six Week 6-Pack isn't too bad. Yoga Meltdown...not my favorite. Me? I rotate between the 30-Day Shred (currently on my third go-round of that), BFBM, NMTZ and SW6P. Really, any of them are great; it's what you prefer. Good luck! :)

    I am going on to day 5 of the 30 day shred..... Finally, I am beginning to bend over again without getting stuck....lol. It feels like it must be doing SOMETHING.

    Do you need weights for the 30 day shred? I don't have any and I'm kind of on a budget here :)

    I highly recommend 30 Day Shred ...I loved the results. I felt toned and much stronger plus definitely lost inches all over. I also like to mix in Banish Fat Boost Metabolism now which is 40 minutes of intensity but a great workout.... I'm doing 6 Week Six Pack now but do plan to start my 2nd round of 30 Day Shred in the next 2 weeks. Jillian Michaels kicks butt and gets results :glasses:

    If you're really on a budget you could use soup cans! (Really, people have done that.) But yeah, she recommends hand weights/dumbbells. I use a pair of 5 lb. dumbbells, but my mom and boyfriend would usually use 3 lb. ones.

    Ripped in 30 is Jillian's new one... I am on Level 3 Day 1 and it is kicking my *kitten*! From a few people who have done 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30, they say Ripped is harder. Good luck! I am sure they are ALL good...

    Check half.com for the dvd at a discounted rate ($5ish + shipping)... grab a pair of 5 lb hand weights, $10-12 for a pair at Target/Walmart. Cheaper than a month at the gym. :)

    I do the 30 day shred, and yes you do need weights. but an easy and cheap alternative is using canned veggies or even filled water bottles.

    No More Trouble Zones. AMAZING. I use big water bottles.

    I did the shred twice threw great dvd for starters! and 27 minutes total I also have done banish fat boost metabolism great for cardio, to go along with that also did no more trouble zone. they are both 50 minutes so requires more time. I did 6 week 6 pack and its ok but I will probably do that when I dont need to lose weight. i also have yoga melt down, good but doesnt burn many calories as I thought it would.

    By far the best workout is Ripped in 30. i just started it this week and its awesome. Cant wait to do all 4 levels!

    My sister sent me the set of them and I must say that I am in love with the Banish fat boost Metabolism. I like the little bit of the boxing mixed in. Also it is (with warm up and cool down) it is just under an hour. I am also using the 30 DS and I like it alot. But if you are only going to get one I would say the 30 DS. it has three workouts so you don't get board. I have not tried the new ripped in 30, but I read it has 4 different workouts so it might be better for your money.

    Good luck and let us know how you like it

    Banish fat boost metabolism is hardcore. It's about an hour long dvd with really challenging exercises.. lots of jumping.. you'll definitely sweat your *kitten* off with this one. Plus you don't need weights or anything.

    If you can handle jumping... do this one!

    I love Jillian & have all of her DVDs. My favorite is her newest one Ripped in 30 - great workout & it goes by so quickly! The only workout I dont care for is the kettlebell one, the workout itself isnt bad but my lower back hurts so bad for a few days after. Other than that one, I'd recommend any of her DVDs.

    I have both her Ripped in 30 DVD and 30 Day Shred. I personally felt like I got a better work out with the Ripped in 30. It was more fast paced and entertaining. Even though some of the moves are on both dvds i guess i just liked the ripped in 30 better.
