Wanting to get into a good shape in about a month and I'm wondering if 30 day shred is worth me buying?
Might be handy to mention that I don't want to be a body builder, but a lot trimmer that I am now - i.e toned.
Shall I buy it? I've heard great reviews off lots of people on here, but will it get me where I want to be? and if not, any other recommendations are very much appreciated :)

    It's only $9 - very little investment for the rewards gained!! It's a butt kicker, but a great workout.

    Jillian is a bit of a monster :laugh: but it is quite a good workout. I know I'm enjoying it.

    I just finished up Level 2 and so far I really like it. I don't think you will bulk up a lot by doing this video because it's only 27 minutes and most people only use 3 to 5 pound weights. I use it to supplement my usual exercise routine. It's pretty inexpensive, so I think it's worth it. If you have On Demand programming, check out Exercise TV. I know recently Level 1 and Level 2 were on there, so you could test it before you buy it.

    it will make your muscles sore in places you forgot about. I personally do not like Jillian, so it was difficult to stick with it b/c of her. But the workouts are really great, you get a good calorie burn and strength in a short period of time. I got mine on ebay for less than $10.

    I just started this DVD on Monday after having a baby 3 weeks ago. Prior to starting having the baby, I was benching 125 lbs, running a 5k 3 times a week, circuit training, and boxing. I'm finding that I'm having a tough time with Level 1 and the upper body workouts and so this is TOTALLY worth it to me!!!
  • I bought it at my walmart for only 9 dollars but have to say I only did it for 3 days but my friend did the whole workout and enjoyed it, so I guess it all depends on you. I would like to try it again but I am such a wimp! She kicks your butt but its like 20 mins. So I thought it was a good buy for only 9 dollars ;0)

    There's a thread where people have posted pictures of their 30 Day Shred results. Look at that post and the answer will obviously be YES!

    I'm doing the 30DS, its a hard workout for 20 mins but i dont feel overly pushed. I have moved to Level 2 and a little harder and you do burn calories. I'll keep at it cause most the reviews are great and for 20 mins it's good.

    You may want to try Body Shaping Intensive Yoga DVD - the next day i really feel the difference. I dont think you burn as many calories but it definately tones you and is very challenging although very repetitive.

    don't be afraid of bulking up because women do not bulk up like men..it takes ALOT to become body builder females..just about any routine will show you results if you stick with it. so if you do stick with it, and eat right, you'll get results..I am not a fan of her, but she will definitely get you in shape. my only suggestion is to mix it up a little so your muscles don't get used to what you are doing.

    YES YES YES - I have just done day 6 and my tummy has gone flat again and my arms more defined ALREADY! I did it last year and was impressed.

    It's quite tough but it's so short, and for me so much easier than heading off out to the gym!

    I got my from Amazon UK I think it was just under £6 :-)

    So did you save it to a DVD? How was the quality? Just curious on how it turned out. I'm thinking about doing the program myself and free is always nice! LOL!

    I found it too easy. It was only $9, but it was a waste. Better to do P90X.
