Decided to check out Jillian Michaels 30 day shred as it gets such rave reviews...as I am not particularly fit, I was excited to see she has just brought out a beginner 30 day shred so have ordered that....then am hoping if I like it I will then move onto the normal 30 day shred...anyone want to join me? and report back on progress?

    Oh good, helps to keep motivated I think! I have ordered my DVD, just waiting for it to arrive...I am not planning to do every day, probably every over but still doing level 1 for 10 sessions etc before moving onto level 2...just printed off a chart I found on this minimins post (scroll down a little and you will see it) so I can put on my fridge and tick off every session as I complete it...

    I'm going to start it as soon as my DVD arrives, hopefully soon!! It doesn't matter if you guys do the normal one when I do the beginner one, you're probably much fitter than me anyway so I am sure I will find my version as hard anyway!!

    Jillian is awesome. I have one video that is like working out with your own personal trainer. I have the Tracy Anderson overpriced system. I keep quitting on that but have started again! I can't buy the new Jillian but I'll post that I've done my workout for my own motivation as well as any others. It's hard to get your workout in after work. I'm planning on getting mine in tonight! who's with me?

    I have a number of Jillian DVDs as well as some Biggest Loser ones. I can honestly say that in all my years of trying DVDs and other at-home exercise regimes, The 30 Day Shred and TaiBo are the ONLY 2 that have worked for me. When I started I couldn't get through the first level, but I stuck it out. At my best I was doing level 3 (which I liked better then level 2). I do it randomly now and have focused on running and roller derby (great cardio and toning)! Stick with it no matter how hard; it works!

    Is this just a program for women or can me do it as well? I just started MFP a month ago and have lost 18lbs. Would love to do along with all of you as well.

    My DVD just arrived in the post today, finally!! I have started, level 1 session 1 done! It was not too bad, but still a couple of things I found hard but I have 9 more sessions to perfect them! I really liked Jillian, she was really encouraging and motivating.

    Done level 1 session 2 now! Really enjoying it, don't find it too easy or too hard so good level, can still feel that I have worked my core an hour later though! I think I should buy heavier weights though, am using 2lb at the moment but read that 3lb would be better
