So Is this the regular video that I see for like $10 at Walmart? Jillians 30 day shred? just wanting to clarify as I was looking to maybe try it out. Is there anything else you need for it besides the video and how long at the workouts? Thanks!

    Hi! I am doing the $9.47 one from Walmart. I think it is the same thing. You need hand weights (2-3 pounds) too. She also recommends a mat for hard surfaces. I do it on the floor no problem. I find it a hell of a work out for the time frame. There is a debate over time....whether it is 20 or 25 minutes. I am bumping to find out what others say. I am on level one day 8 and it is still an effort for me.

    Yup, that's it. And just a mat and hand weights. I used 3 lb weights the first time I did the program and now I'm doing it all over again with 5 lb weights.

    Just handweights...I would start off with smaller ones and work your way up. I started with 3lb and I'm using 5lb now..i's a tough workout but it is awesome and you will feel great! I'm on day 24 now and feel awesome!

    Awesome! I think I will try it, I have 3 lb weights. I just need something for the days I dont go to the gym.. like today and the weather is too bad to go outside. But something that I schedule will be beneficial too.

    Hey everyone that is doing it! Do you record it as 20 minutes of circuit training or 25??? I have seen both on here.

    I never know if I should put 20 or 25 either...with the warm up and cool down it is 25 minutes, but you aren't burning calories during those 5 minutes like you are the rest of the time... I put 20 minutes on the days I feel I could have worked harder and probably didn't burn as many calories as I could have and then put 25 on the days that I feel I really gave it my all to get the extra calories.

    I had my calorie burner on on my android and from start to finish it timed 25 minutes! The shred is awesome even if you just wanna tone up, every muscle in my body is on fire after I do it.

    When I did the shred I use 25 minutes. You burn calories during your cool down also.

    The DVD has two 2-minute warm ups/cool downs plus three 6-minute circuits...so technically speaking it's a 22 minute workout. I'm not quite sure how some people get 25-30 minutes out of that...unless they are adding exercises, which I don't think is the case. I guess it turns out to be a bit longer because Jillian talks a bit at the beginning and end and a little bit throughout, but personally I'd rather log it modestly and end up burning more calories than I expected, than the other way around. On another note, I love this workout! I'm on Level 1 Day 3, and my entire body is still on fire. I'm not sure when the soreness is gonna go away but it's a small price to pay for a toned body!

    I think it's a great program! I'm still on level 2, like...day 8 or 9? I'm not sure if I want to go to level 3...level 2 is still a killer with some of the moves. I might get some light ankle weights and stay on level two, since I'm also doing the JM slimdown challenge that incorporates two of her other videos over 30 days.

    Definitely worth the $10, or if you have can find a torrent and download it.

    Hahaha no no don't think that. It's for laughs, rather than me actually getting upset at people for asking questions :flowerforyou: But yeah personally I think it is definitely worth the $10. I'm only on Day 4 and I already feel changes in my body.
