    I tried doing one of her workouts once, but the DVD was too small.

    @Capt_Apollo‌ : I do accurately track my calories and I wear my heart rate monitor during workouts. But I'm not burning as many calories as before and I'm getting bored. So that's why I want to switch it up. Same 2 workouts every day for 2 months can get boring.

    @itsfuntobenormal‌ : I totally hear you. I work in the medical field and am aware of that. I put 1.5 lbs per wk as a goal, but am totally ok with 1 lb a wk. in the past 3 wks I haven't lost any and have been working out and eating well. I totally hear ya though. Thanks.

    She had a hips and glutes one I liked, ended up so sore the first few times I did it! I've never checked out her other ones but there's no shame in stopping the DVD early if you're unable to do even the mods.

    I've tried both that and the Brazilian Butt Lift and let me tell you, you get a much better workout from her one DVD than you do from their box set.

    You've inspired me, I need to dust it off.

    I'm working my way through the 30 day shred right now. I did it 2 years back and I highly reccommend it. You don't need to be particularly fit to give it ago.

    I am 40 and hadn't done much for a while (I was 147.5lbs when I started Body Revolution on 5th Jan). I am now at the end of week 10 so 2 more weeks to go! I've definitely lost some inches and feel much stronger. Also lost weight but I'd put that down to counting calories as I didn't follow the JM diet plan.

    I am going to start insanity Max 30 when I'm finished.

    I'm on my second week of the Shred. That workout is no joke, but its doable. And the fact that its only 20-ish minutes makes it easier to just do it without excuse.

    The 20ish minutes is what has drawn me to her workouts :bigsmile:

    I did both workouts today, Jillian Michaels 6 weeks to a six-pack and her 30 day shred workout. I was sweaty and tired, but loved it. I'm hoping to get better at it as time goes on! Thanks for all the feedback guys! 479 calories burned!

    @iamchuckbass78‌ : I did 2 of her workouts for the first time today bc 20 minutes seemed too short for today. But I'm sure when I'm short on time I'll appreciate those 20 minute workouts lol

    @christinev297‌ : 20 minute workout will be good for when I'm short on time. Today I had no excuse so did two of her workouts and love it!

    I have 30DS, RI 30, and Yoga Inferno. I got 30DS two years ago, and still enjoy it. I liked it so much, that I bought RI 30 and then the Yoga. I really think they are great workouts, not too repetitive. Ok, well it might seem repetitive if it was the only dvd I owned, but its not, lol.

    I love her workouts. I've done the 30 day shred in the past and am currently in the 3rd week of ripped in 30. I've found them to be super effective, especially if you are hard pressed for time. I'm doing ripped in 30 in conjunction with running twice a week, and while I haven't lost a lot of weight, I've dropped a lot of inches from my waist, arms and thighs. I'd highly recommend you try ripped in 30 after you're done with the 30 day shred. Hope this helps!

    @christinev297‌ : I survived! Some of the moves were challenging in both workouts, but I'm hoping I'll just get better as time goes on...so far seem do-able lol

    @dtites‌ : yes, I saw that on the list of her videos. Hoping that I'll make it through these 30 days, then will take you up on that and try ripped! Thanks!

    @aaa15‌ : yes, I really did. Struggled more with the 6 weeks to a six pack with the burpees and stuff, but will get there eventually! I'm focused!
