    Its a workout DVD by Jillian Michaels. Its has 3 levels of 25 mins exercise programme.

    Some people do 10 days on level1. then 10 days on level 2 and 10 days on level 3.

    I just pick and choose and try and do it 4 times per week. Defo worth the money (for me anyways).x

    I might not be able to give you the best answer but here's a try: it's a workout that's about 20 minutes long that incorporates circuits. So one circuit would be to do a few strength exercises, a few minutes of cardio (jumping jacks, jumping rope that kind of thing) and then abs. Then you repeat. You'll need some small weights for the strength section. There are three levels of workout so as you get stronger you can move up to level 2, then level 3.

    I am only on level one right now and I can tell you it's hard!! I worked out on the treadmill or elliptical every day before this and I still find it a big challenge. One thing that I really like about it is that it fits a lot into 20 minutes. Ideally, I would prefer to add the "shred" in addition to my cardio but on those hectic days it's nice to know you at least have time for something.

    I can't tell you really anything yet about results but I can tell you that I am very very sore! I hope that helps!

    Oh and, if you buy it on Amazon it's $1 and change for section one (digital copy) so you can see if you like it for a pretty small investment. And you won't have to wait for it to come in the mail :)

    After seeing so many people using this on this site, I bought it yesterday on a whim from Play.com - £5.49 inc. delivery. I try to cycle to work most days, but if I need my car immediately after, or have something heavy to take, or if it's raining... it's nice to know that this will be something I can do instead - a 20 min workout is not too hard to fit into my lifestyle. Just got to wait for it to arrive now...

    I just got mine in the mail from Netflix the other day. I planned to start today but started getting sick last night.
    After reading several posts about it, I took my measurements yesterday so that I could check them at the end of the 30 days. The reason is that EVERY post I read from the ones who did it lost several inches.
