    I have the 30 day shred and yes it works but you have to stick with it. It gets harder and harder but after 30 days, the results are impressive! Good Luck!

    I LOVE 30DS, Ripped in 30 is nice and a little more intense in my book, 6 week 6 pack kicked my @ss fantastically and Yoga Meltdown made me sweat but felt like such an accomplishment when I was done! She is personally my favorite trainer and I love ALL of her DVDs so far!! You will not be disappointed by any of the above mentioned DVDS :o)

    I have never done her videos, but I got her Ultimatum 2011 for the Wii and I like it!

    i love 30 day shred. when i started it i was like no way in hell can i do this, but i did. and i am so much fitter now than i was. even though i've done the 30 days i still do the shred at least 4 days a week and just alternate the days. everyone needs a little jillian in their lives she is totally addictive!

    Hiya

    I did the 30 day shred with amazing results. It properly kick started my weightless and I look so much more toned. I did it over about 40 days though. My tip is to take rest days rather than doing it for 30 days straight. I also did swimming, cycling and walking along with the dvd so I that helped with the results. I am now on her thighs and buns dvd (not available in the UK so I dl it), I only do that about once every 3 days as I do so many other exercises.

    If you´re a beginner, remeber to stretch longer the first four five days, this will safe you some soreness.
    The transition from not excerising to doing it day to day is pretty rough. Hade a hard time sitting down,
    taking the stairs etc, cuz my thighs where just so sore. So thats my tip.

    I'm on day 5 of 30ds and my advice is to really take it easy in the jumping, i have hurt my knee a little today and i know a few other ppl on here have got shin splints etc. Also you'll need hand weights, i use 2kg ones (which i think is about 5lbs) and its a good average, some exercises are really easy and others are difficult but still manageable. Just DON'T GIVE UP!

    I hate the jumping.. the "jump ropes" are NOT my friend...

    I started my exercise habit with her 30DS and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism workouts...and although she kicked my butt most of the time, I loved it. :) Do take it easy in the first few days if you're just starting out... some moves can be quite tedious for beginners.

    For the 30DS and Ripped in 30, you will need light weights of about 3-5lbs, and also an exercise mat to reduce the impact (and to catch the dripping sweat hehe). But most of all you will need determination, commitment and a positive mindset! Don't worry so much about motivation, Jillian will take care of that! :) All the best! xx

    I have most of them and love them all.

    REMEMBER that you can MODIFY any of the moves to what YOUR BODY can or can not do!!

    You'll need a set of weights 3 and/or 5 pds and the mat is optional.

    I have 30DS, Ripped in 30, 6-pack abs, & the Yoga meltdown dvd. I love them all. I have not done any of them consistantly the full 30 days, or whatever is recommended. Instead, I alternate different levels of different videos each day. I like to switch them up so I don't get bored. I like the fact that every one of her videos are seriously effectve & I'm done in 30 minutes. Easy to work into my day. On a day I'm not feeling too particularly motivated, I will do her yoga dvd. It's still difficult, but slightly less intense than the others. Unfortunately, I haven't done any of Jillian's dvds in a couple of weeks, been in a slump, intend to let her kick my *kitten* again this weekend!!! You will love her workouts.

    You should just need hand weights. maybe a mat if your floor is hard.

    i've done quite a bit of 30 day shred and even more no more trouble zones. and i just started ripped in 30 this week. gl!
