I've only completed level one, and I am pleased with the results so far. I can see a definite difference in my arms, legs, butt, and stomach. It's definitely tough though. Good luck!0
-
I like it... especially on unmotivated days where I don't want to leave my pajamas.
The levels are only 20 minutes each, but they still DEFINITELY get you sweating. I've never completed it in an actual 30 day period, but I've seen plenty of great success stories on the forums here. For me personally, it definitely made a difference, even without doing it "like you're supposed to."
It's essentially how I lost my first 5 or 6lbs. It's exclusively what I did.0 -
Go for it! Love it! Highly recomended!0
-
It definitely does the job, but it can be pretty tough, especially when you advance to the higher levels. Add me if you'd like!0

DO IT! I have shown better results in 3 weeks shredding than 5 mos with a personal trainer. I suggest this work out to everyone.0

I have a question before I go out and by this dvd. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which means I have joint issues. Now I do walk everyday for at least 3 miles. I also have a job where I am on my feet all day very physical job lots of lifting and stuff. I really try not to let the RA limit me. Do you think someone with joint issues could do this dvd or would it be to difficult?0

I've been doing level 1 and 2 for about a month. I know I should move on but I'm scared of level 3
Anyway. I've lost over 7lbs and 7 inches doing the shred and tracking foods :-D 0 -
I did day 1 & 2 so far and then I started another bootcamp type program this week so I haven't gone back to it. I think I'll do it tonight. I workout a lot and I thought level 1 was pretty easy. I'm looking forward to moving on to level 2 & 3.
I go to Mexico in 2 months so maybe this will help me with th extra inches on my belly.0 -
I love/hate it! I was completely out of shape when I started, and it was really tough. (It still is). But the time commitment is minimal, and I am really seeing my strength build and my body getting toned. I am currently at 140, so I'm finally getting lean enough to see some of the muscles! I can do level 2 100% advanced, and level 3 about 50% advanced. I have done this for much longer than 30 days as it is such a great all over workout.0

we did level one for a week or so then moved to level 2- how long are you supposed to be on each level?0
-
I would recommend this dvd. It is a challenge at level 2 and I am not looking forward/looking forward to level 3.0
-
I go to the gym 3 or 4 days a week and I use the Shred on the days when I don't have time. For 20 minutes its a great workout and I would definitely recommend it

If a dumbell curl aggravates your RA, I don't recommend it, but if you can do a dumbell curl comfortably then go for it. You will also need to be able to hold the weights out infront you out eye level...maybe 3lb weights to start with.0
-
I love 30 Day Shred. Jillian will be both your best friend and your worst enemy; but in the end you will be stronger and leaner. I totally recommend it.0
-
I'm loving it!!! I did 11 days on level one and yesterday moved to level II. I'm loving level II so far and I am seeing a difference,,my clothes fit awesome.0

That's fantastic!!
I was really scared of level 3 as well. (especially b/c level 2 kicked my butt for soooo long) But really it's not harder than level 1 was when you first started. In fact there are a few moves that I find quite easy. There are also a few moves that I cannot even come close to finishing. So I just keep working at it, trying to increase the number of reps I can manage every few days. Level 3 does have a lot more jumping moves.0 -
I did it, and it was a "short" workout for when you don't have much time. I thought it was rather boring though...just saying. Anything you do is good, as long as its not sitting and eating and watching tv. lol0

I think you will be ok by describing your work. Just pay close attention to your body and maybe don't push yourself to much until you are really familiar with what is coming next. I am only an LMT but my understanding is these strength excercises will help you in the long run.0 -
30 day shred is a great workout and you will see results if you work hard. I frequently get on the treadmill for 20 to 40 minutes beforehand because it seems I need to be really warmed up before I do it or I get too winded. I am on level 3. It's hard but it's fun, too.0

My daughter and I have been doing it now for a few weeks and let me tell ya, it is a work out. It's non stop and Jillian really keeps you moving. I highly recommend it.0
-
You can find Level 1 on You Tube to check it out before you buy it. I am on Day 4 of level 2 and I have already seen a big difference in my belly (last week when I measured I had lost almost 2 inches just from doing level 1!). It's a fast 20 minutes, but very effective. I couldn't do the push ups in the beginning, but I can now do all of them 0

It's a 30 day shred and there are three levels..
You should be doing each level for 10 days before moving on.0 -
I have tried level one. It is a good workout and you can definitely feel the effects. My only complaint is that there is a lot of jumping which for me is hard on my knees. If you don't have any knee (or shoulder issues), I would say to go for it.0

The scale has been stuck for a while for me so I started the 30 day shred 20 days ago. I like it so much that bought the DVD, tired of sharing it with the in-laws.
I started doing level 1 twice a day (on day 10) before I went to level 2 (day 14.) After two weeks, I lost 4.8 pounds!!! The change up in exercising must have been what I needed.
I've been doing level 1, resting for a while and then doing level 2, daily.0 -
GET IT!!!! It's great.....the actual workout is 20 min, but w/ warm up & cool down it is 28 minutes. I have done it a few diff times... when things need revamping... BUT..... definitely measure all body parts.... each time I have done it, have not seen major weight loss, but def. toning.... I am actually going to try, after the 1st 30 days, to keep going as a daily regimin... but my body also really needs it's cardio... so i am walking 3-8 miles a day in addition to this, lunchtime 3.0 miles, after dinner 4.0 and a 1.0 mile walk for break @ work.... hoping the combo will really help both toning & weight loss.... we'll see how this time around goes!! GOOD LUCK, I tell everyone.... you'll Love to hate jillian Michaels 'cause she kicks your butt LOL...I have been debating buying and starting the 30 Day Shred DVD. I don't have a problem getting to the gym and staying activie but I need to mix things up. I hear great things about it but I wanted everyone's opinion.

I love it. I'm on level two now, but I do not do it every day. I do other DVD's or run on alternative days. I really like level 2 more than 1. Do it you will have no regrets!!0
