I need to lose 10 kg of my current weigh. I am planning to start with 30 Day Shred. Has anyone tried it?

Would like to know about some experiences and reviews. Thanks

    Are planning to eat at a deficit while you do it? If yes, sure.

    The workouts are fine and are free on YT (except maybe level 3 - I think it wasn't on there last time I checked but it could be now).

    The diet program is silly. I'd just make sure you are eating at a reasonable deficit and getting enough protein.

    I tried it and it kicked my butt. From what I hear from others, it works and it is great for beginners. :D Good luck!

    I'm on level 3 right now and I've gotten stronger and more fit. I burn at least 200 calories which helps with calorie deficit, which in its turn helps with weight loss. So yeah, it works :smile:

    It's a decent workout, I tend to get bored by doing the same thing everyday though. If you stick to it and eat sensibly while you're doing it, you'll notice a difference within a week or so, but that applies to all workouts, there's nothing that makes this one special. I'd say give it a try, see if you like the routine of it, if not mix it up with other workouts.

    Wouldn't recommended if you got knee problems though, there's a lot of lunging involved.

    I just finished day 6 of level 2 and honestly? Yes it does work. I've lost weight and my pants are already getting more loose. I follow that and combine it with a few days of cardio a week and have seen results. However, you do of course need to eat at a calorie deficit. I was a complete beginner when I started and it is tough at first, but you soon get into it and see improvements fast.

    Yes... if you: 1) Eat at a deficit 2) Do the work

    It probably won't make you lose 10kg for the first time you do it, but it's exercise. Any exercise combined with a calorie deficit will help you lose weight.

    I've done it 3 times. I don't know how much weight I lost doing it (I wasn't weighing myself at the time, just looking to be more fit). The first round I was barely able to use 2lbs weights. By my third time doing it, I was using 7lbs and 10lbs weights. It does work. It led to me doing Ripped in 30, Body Revolution, and now I'm completing Insanity for the first time. (Two more weeks until I'm done!)

    This.

    It won't work if you eat the same or more calorie than you burn.

    It will work if you eat less calories than you burn.

    It's your choice.

    Yes it does, if your eating less calories than you burn obvi. It isnt super fun, Jillian gets on my nerves and you have to make sure you do the moves right not to stress your knee joints. Its great for losing inches though!

    Work for what exactly? Weight loss happens in the kitchen, JM is for fitness.

    *Anything* works so long as you maintain a Caloric Deficit while doing it, right?

    I did it and enjoyed it. Level 3 was intense. I liked it because it was short and effective.

    I used it when I first started, and that's exactly what I liked about it. 30 minutes is easy to commit to, & easy to fit into a day. The intervals are also short, so it's all very doable for someone new to exercise (who's in reasonable health, I mean). There's a bit of resistance, it gets your heart rate up, I think it's good for hitting basic fitness targets. I found her style encouraging, too.

    Caloric deficit for weight loss. Exercise to help the deficit and for health.

    i don't know if its because I hate working out besides, pilates, lifting, and swimming... BUT I can't really get passed the warm up. Not because I can't handle it but idk I really don't like it haha.
