Are Jillian Michaels workouts do-able?

Hello, I'm thinking of starting Jillian Michaels 30 days shred and even Jilliam Michele's 6 pack workouts. I've don't beach body's P90 (not p90x) for a little over 2 months and need to switch it up. I'm not dropping my goal 1.5 lbs per wk anymore, so figured this is a good way to switch it up. I'm just wondering if I'll be able to get through these workouts, or if it'll turn me off because it's too hard.
Any feedback would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I love 30 day shred! Its a little repetitive but it's still awesome!0
-
Thanks for the reply @ogmomma2012 ! I'm thinking today would be a good day to start.0

I don't like 30 Day Shred. I love Ripped in 30, Six Week Six Pack, Shred it with Weights and Burn Fat Boost Metabolism. My absolute favorites are Killer Buns and Thighs and No More Trouble Zones . She's challenging but highly effective!0

You can do it for sure. I like 30 day shred too but like others have said sort of repetitive. I've been doing her 90 day body revolution and it's good! I'm on week 8. They're around 30 min workouts.0
-
I'd do Jillian Michaels.
Wait, not what we're talking about.0 -
they're not easy, but they're do able. some of my favorites because they're quick.0
-
I've never seen her smile. I wonder why?0

@maggierenee88 : seems like her revolution workout is a hit! I'll have to look into that too! Thanks0
-
@aaa15 , Ahhh, I'll look into those as well. I'm thinking of purchasing Amazon Prime today so that I can stream all of these videos using Amazon prime instant video and my Apple TV. This way if I don't like one, I can move on to another one! Thanks!
Great! Also YouTube has level one videos of a lot of her workouts. Check em out! That's what got me to buy them. I got them on Amazon for less than eight dollars each. I have about 7 of her workout dvds now. I do them in rotation. Good luck!0 -
I tried doing one of her workouts once, but the DVD was too small.0

LoL! I often say to my husband (on my way to work out) "I'm going to do Jillian now." We always laugh...(naughty!) Hey, she is kind of hot but not my type.
To the OP - yes, very doable. I love 30 day shred - well, I don't LOVE it, but it is a damn good work out - and also do the Ripped in 30 sometimes. I like how she does things in segments so you can make your workout fit your time frame. I will say that occasionally I run into a move I simply cannot do. So I try to modify during those times or do some cardio during that part of the tape - but that is mostly on the Ripped DVD. There is one move...don't remember what she calls it...when you have your hands up like you are being held at gunpoint and then you kneel down to one knee and then the other and then back up. I simply cannot do this with my hands up. So I just don't.0 -
@Jennloella : I'm kind of glad I posted this, thinking I'll skip p90 today and try out one of Jillian Michaels workouts instead0

Oh God! The Surrender! I hate that so much!0 -
She offers modifications for every move so it's definitely doable0
-
Yes - The Surrender!
I want to kill her when this one pops up! She makes it look sooooooo easy.

Right on Puti98. Let us know what you think. There are actually quite a few 90 Day Shred threads out there.0 -
If anyone logs in daily and uses other people's burned calories as motivation, as I do, please feel free to add me!
On those days that I don't feel like working out and I see my feed showing how many calories others have burned it motivates me to get off my *kitten* and workout! Lol!0 -
I also own about every one of her workouts and absolutely love them! They are all very effective if you stick with them. I also bought nearly all of mine on Amazon for roughly $8. Some I found on clearance at various stores for $3-4. I personally think her videos are kind of addictive. Either you love her or you don't. I look forward to her pushing me to my max on a regular basis. I also love how all of her routines are done in a circuit training style. It seems to make the 30-60 minutes go a lot faster. Good luck!0

She actually grunts on NMTZ when she has to do it. It makes me feel better because I hate it! Almost as much as I hate duck walks on Ripped! But really, I love Jillian. Her backups are motivating as well.0 -
Thanks @snjohnston ! I'm thinking today I just may try out 30 day shred and 6 week 6 pack! Let's see how that works out lol0
-
@Puti98 that's so awesome! I'm recovering (had three surgeries for endometriosis in 18 months.) Lost quite a bit dieting and have been working out like a fiend since October.0 -
They are. I'm currently doing 30 day shred and love it. I will try the others mentioned on this tread.0

@snjohnston Definitely love or hate with Jillian. I am aaddicted to her DVDs but she really delivers results! Even though I get tired of her saying "I like to deliver results! "0 -
Cool! Thanks @sw33tp3a11 ! We can do this! #stayingfocused0

You don't need to switch up your work outs. You need to accurately track your calories and eat healthy.0 -

And understand if you only have 21 pounds to lose, .5 pounds - 1 pound per week is a far more attainable loss per week0
