Jillian Michaels DVDs support

I am doing the 30 day shred started today so tomorrow will be day 2 for me! I would love to know for the people who completed the program, what kind of results did they have...

Hi, I'm on my last week of 30DS but have struggled the last two days with lower back and knee pain - but aside from that this is the first time I have been able to see a change in my figure - when you look at yourself everyday you don't always see the changes but I have dropped a dress size from lower half which is my problem area so really pleased.:bigsmile:

I have now ordered two more of Jillians DVD's

I finish 30DS on Saturday so I am starting the new two on Monday & was wondering how to do them, whether to alternate them each day or any other suggestions would be greatly received!!! I have got the Problem area & Metobolic ones.

The school hols in England start this weekend so I am starting my personal 2nd stage challenge for this period of 6 weeks. (1st stage being the 30DS)

I just started and I'm about 6 day's into level 1. Boy did I feel sore after the first day. I thought I wasn't out of shape but I used muscle's I haven't used in a long time. I'm biking to work almost everyday (Monday - Friday) and doing the 30 Day Shred on top of that. It was hard at first but its worth it in the end.

mosneakers - Totally agree with the planking of Jillian, I've thought about it a couple of times throughout the workout

I need to get another round of 30DS in.
I attempted to do 6 Week 6 Pack, but got interrupted by work. That was a totally different way to bust out some abs. Loved what I got to try and need to get back to that as well.
I've been getting back to running on my lunch breaks but with the heat and humidity really kicking in I think I'll get back to some Jillian in the air conditioning.

I've done the 30DS (lost 15lbs and 2 sizes) and am currently trying to get into 6 Week 6 Pack (I've done about 5 days of it, inconsistently) so maybe this will be the motivation I need to stick with it

I thought they were great...at first...then I got bored to death........a P90X convert here....

Hi all


Im still doing doing the 30ds, I heard about it here on the forums and thought I would give it a go. It really helped me move my first stone. I really wished i had taken measurements but I can most def see a diff in the tone of my skin My belly is not so jelly and my legs and hips are def smaller!
Im going to keep it up as i have my holiday goal fast approching
Just got to work out how you log it??

Keep Going !!

All the best

I've done the 30 day shred, banish fat, boost metabolism, and no more trouble zones. I loved them all. I still work them in to my regular workouts. (I just finished Insanity and am trying to figure out what's next for me.) Due mostly because of the heat wave we're in the middle of, I've decided that during July and August I will try out a variety of workouts at the Y. I will probably resume working out at home when the temperatures drop. We don't have air conditioning and with a heat index between 100-110, it's too miserable to contemplate, even if I can leap in the pool immediately afterwards.

I have done the 30DS twice now but I must say each time took me way longer than 30 days. I think rest days are important and sometimes, well life just interfered with my exercise plans. I really did enjoy it though, well if enjoyed is the right word for it. I like the way it makes me feel stronger and i still work on the easier level. I'm 51 yrs old and still in the obese range. I will no doubt do it again. Curently for exercise, I am doing zumba class, and using my treadmill for C25K, but staying on week 1 till i feel fitter, and sometimes a ballet class. I also have Jillians No More Trouble Zones DVD, but I haven't even looked at it yet.

My advice would be take the 30 DAY Shred at your own pace. I have seen to many people start out all guns blazing and then get so disheartened when they hit a day and they are just too sore or tired. It is ok to take a rest day. Listen to your own body, we are all different. Although challenges are great for motivation remember it is not a competition. Just do the best for you.
Oh i also learnt to modify if you have too. My knees would ache with some of the jumps, (jump rope) so i would march on the spot.

I love having my dates with Jillian but she is like that annoying family member that you have to invite to functions.

I did both 30DS and the ripped in 30 and loved the results. I hated the workouts!!! But it's done before you know it and that's the part I love!! I have fallen off the wagon and have been trying to find my energy to start the ripped in 30 again. I will get there!!!

Right there with you! I have 30DS, NMTZ, BFBM, and CK (Cardio Kickbox). Oh, and YM (Yoga Meltdown). They ALL kick my *kitten*, but I think I've had decent results. Not a huge fan of the yoga one, but that's cause yoga bores me. I did one round of the shred, but stupidly didn't have pics or measurements so I can't really say if it did anything or not. Pretty much the only other exercise I do is running a couple days a week (by running, I mean jogging slowly and panting for air and hoping I'm not going to die). And I'm pretty happy with the results. I'm thinking of starting another round of the shred, or any actual workout plan (as opposed to whichever dvd i'm in the mood for, lol). When I first started doing her DVD's, though, I threatened to write a book about her called 'The Devil Wears a Sports Bra', lol.

For pics of how well Jillian works you, check out Shreddingit's profile. Amazing!

I really like Blast Fat Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones. Currently I don't really have time in my day for them but i can't WAIT until I do. Essentially once baby boy consistently sleeps all the way thru the night. I'm so far off the wagon it's not even funny. And when I started Jillian before I was already in ok shape, so while I did have the common disdain for her that others have, I'm sure it'll be a thousand times worse now, lol. But at least I know what I'm getting into. in any event, when that time comes, I'll make sure I'm around to commiserate. *smile*

im wondering how many calories you think your burn from 30DS 20/25min workout
ive logged it as high intensity aerobics?
any ideas?

I am on Day 4 of 30DS. I do the 30DS for 20 min then the Shred w/ weights so I get an hour in plus 1 mile walk, plan is to take one day a week off, but that day will be walking my 4 miles I will post my results - I weigh every tuesday and check my measurements every couple of weeks.
