Jillian Micheals 30 Day Shred

I absolutely love it! She kicks my butt every day. I take it on holiday with me, too. 20 minutes, and you get an amazing full body work out. In the beginnning, I found it a bit jarring on my knees. I love that she has one person on the video doing the beginnner and on doing the advanced. I just did the beginner version for a while until I got stronger and my body adjusted. Now I can do all the hard moves. I've been doing it for almost two months. Love, love, love it! And love the results!!!

Oh, yeah. They say to use five pound weights. That's way too heavy. I've just started upping some of the moves to five pound weights, otherwise I use 3 pound. See how your body reacts. Maybe you're in way better shape than I was when I started = )

I have used it and still do occasionally and I LOVE IT,,,I will warn you the first 5-6 days you will think your dying,,LOL,,but you will get through it and it gets easier,,,I could'nt do it all th efirst few days but I did what I could and kept going till I worked myself up to it,,I would recommend starting with the 3lb weights ,it does'nt sound like much but believe after you hold them awhile they get heavy...and wear loose clothing you will bend jump and stretch,,i lost weight and inches with this dvd..i recommend measuring yourself before and after you complete it to see the difference,,I did each level for 10 days then moved on to the next level,,Good Luck and have fun,it is an intense workout,,,also log it under circuit training for the most accurate calories burnt...

I just started JM 30D Shred on Thursday, and let me tell you.. IT'S FREAKIN GREAT!! :bigsmile:
I do the modifications since I broke my ankle March 2011. So while I'm recovering I don't bounce for high impact.
I'm on day three and already I feel stronger and I'm not as winded! Stick to it, it works! :happy:

I use it and love it!

I just got the dvd. Planning on starting tomorrow. I want to see if it is something I can like. I'm already doing the c25K and a few other challenges, but I'd like to keep active.

i'm almost up to level 3 of the shred and i love/hate it. when i'm doing it, i'm sweaty, out of breath, and i feel like i'm going to die, but i have not been sore afterwards AT ALL. i see other people saying that they're really sore after the workout or the next day, but so far this hasn't happened to me ... maybe i'm not doing it right.

some moves are really challenging, others seem sort of pointless or silly, but they all get me pretty sweaty.

btw, i'm a beginner. this is my first workout video ever, i've never set foot in a gym, and i started using 2lb and 3lb weights before working up to the 5lb weights. i still use the 3lbs for some things though.

i've noticed that my arms are much more toned and my tummy is firmer beneath the fat. i've definitely lost a few inches on my waist, belly, hips, and thighs, and i even lost a few pounds though i don't know if that's from 30ds or calorie restriction or both. once i finish the program, i'll probably post pictures. i try to get a picture for every level and i definitely see changes


good luck!

I'm looking into doing this video in the next couple of months since I have heard really great things about. For those of you who have done the video is this the only exercise you do during the day? Or do you do other things as well? For example, more cardio at the gym in the morning and at night do the dvd.

what is this is it a dvd exercise programme gillian is def the trainer i would want and need x

I do the video once a day, sometimes I skip a day if I feel really crappy. I always try to walk at least 20-30 minutes on my lunch break, and walk again once I get home from work.

Well I wasn't able to start this past Monday or Tuesday so I started up yesterday. I just finished Day 2 of Level 1 and Day 2 of Week 3 of Couch to 5K!! Keep up the good work everyone!!!
