Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred?!??!

I did it and swapped out any high impact moves for step ups.

The high impact side is the cardio so substituting anything that raises your heartbeat is fine.

With all these types of programmes adjust to suit your needs at the time.

If the stated weigh is too high use lower or just your body weight, conversely if it isn't enough of a workout up the ante by adding complexity and weight.

It is a good short work out, try it, if you don't like it move on.

You can find a lot of these programmes free on line.

I've personally found it quite useful. I did the level one workout on days between going to the gym. As far as I am aware, it is not a big calorie burner. However, I've found it has built my strength quite quickly. I notice that sitting up, reaching down to get things and getting up again, opening heavy doors, they're all easier for me.

The level one workout is hard on the knees. You may want to try alternative types of lunges and see which is easiest.

The level 2 workout, which I attempted ages ago and couldn't do, I tried it again a couple of days ago and now I can do it. It's very plank heavy. Make sure you're completely happy with the push up section of level one before moving onto level two.

Okay I obviously don't know how to use threads >_< lol anyway. I LOVE thirty day shred and YES it works. I'm 4'11 and weigh 156 pounds. In order to see results you have to eat right too though. Jillian has two team mates. Natalie is more advanced and Anita does a modified version. The first day you may take a couple of breaths because it's intense but the second and third day it gets easier. You're working your small muscles in with big muscles which means you burn more calories. Best of Luck doll!

I just pickedup.30 day shred from the library. My plan is to pay myself 5$ everyday I do it. Then when I loose the weight I will have money for new clothes.

I've started it three times, but have never finished it. One of those times I made it through the first day of the second phase. It's hard, especially if you are not otherwise fit, but it does get easier. For me, the problem is boredom. It gets boring to the same workout for ten days. That's the real challenge for me and I haven't been able to overcome it.

I love 30 day shred I recommend it to everyone. Level 2 is the most difficult out of all 3 levels (I believe anyways). I got great results. I didn't lose a bunch of weight but it's definitely one you want to keep track of through before, during and after photos for the physical change. She does have a modifier to make some moves easier to follow. I'm planning on starting this again using heavier weights (I did 3 first I want to get to 5)

I like it as part of a workout, but it's not a great idea to work the same muscles every day. I think variety is a better choice. Try YouTube for complementary workouts, or borrow others from the library to fill in. Jillian has a more varied programme/program for sale, and I think it's just over $50 on Amazon. Not sure how that converts to euros but still much cheaper than the gym.

Just checked...Jillian Michaels body revolution $55.99, 15 DVDs, 90 d program.

I actually started with JM 30 day beginner shred. I have bad knees, and only one or two of the exercises bother my one knee. In those instances, I just switch the exercise so it doesn't hurt my knee. I'm enjoying it so far, on day 13, the second routine.
