Im looking for something new to do. And today found this Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred. Watched the 1st lesson on YouTube and it seems pretty good... so I just ordered it from Amazon.

Is anyone doing it?
Does it really work?
Any suggestions?

    I'm also on Day 5, but already I can feel myself getting stronger. I'll hopefully be posting some amazing results of my own in a few weeks, but for now I'm a believer. Plus, I like Jillian's trainer style. We'll see if I change my tune when I move up to Level 2, though. :laugh:

    I've seen some good results on it. I would get it and try it, but unfortunately I can't do THAT Much activity or it will trigger a migraine. I have to keep my exercise light. :(

    I ordered it from Amazon the other day too. Turns out for what I paid for a used dvd and shipping - I could have gotten a new one at Walmart and be doing to work out already.

    loved it! i finished 30 days two weeks ago, i never made it to level 3 but i had a long way to go building enough strength to do them, i was happy with level 2 for 2 weeks, lost 3.5 lbs and 3.6 total inches (with some not so great days eating in there and right before af)
    this time around i'm doing ripped in 30 and to be honest i'm loving this one even more! geared more towards beginners with the promise of OUCh level to come and WAY WAY better cool down stretches, watch that with 30ds she cuts them a little short. good luck and rock it out!!

    I personally dislike JM but her workouts are incredibly effective. I stick with Tony Hortons Power90 and JMs 30 Day Shred because I know I'll get results :)

    there is a group for a bunch of peeps who are starting it tomorrow. I'm thinking of starting up with everyone. Not sure if I should, I'm already doing Tapout XT.

    I find Jillian somewhat annoying but I am dripping sweat after the workout... even more than when I run several miles. I have to think it is effective.

    I've been doing the 30ds for almost two weeks now, I just started level 2 today! It's tough when you get into it first, so expect 2-3 days of painful muscles, but after that, it gets easier - I've noticed a change in my upper stomach, my shoulders and my back so far, so I'm really happy with it ;)

    Really? I suffer with migraine and I have to say since I've been eating less & better, & exercising 4 days a week (30DS included, I'm on level 2, day 9) I haven't suffered with one migraine.

    Funny how different things trigger it with different people. For me it's usually pre-menstral. As a fellow sufferer, I (literally) feel your pain. I hope you find something that works for you :flowerforyou:

    I've completed both her 30 Day shred and her Ripped in 30. loved them both, Ripped in 30 was my favorite. can definitely tell my endurance has gone up. by any means, it's not easy, although i'm not an athlete or anything, i made it through with flying colors. i haven't actually lost any weight. but i think it's due a lot to the depo provera shot. since i got that stupid thing I've hit a brick wall, but either way, i'm still truckin'!

    Ive been doing it and have lost 56 pounds so far within 5 months. I stopped doing it for a little bit and did kickboxing or treadmill but I just recently went back to it and found it so much easier this time around. It does help and definatly helps with ur stamina and strength!

    Yep, it really sucks :( I also get them pre-menstrual and it starts half a week before my period, and lasts throughout my period. But every time I try and exercise and my heart rate goes up, it triggers a migraine. I do know where to stop which is awesome. I went hiking on Wednesday and on some of the harder hills I had to take a break cuz I felt my heart rate go up and a migraine start to come on. ONce my heart rate went down it went away though.

    Circuit training. :) Under Cardio.... I use a HRM too, so I know exact amount, but you can use MFP stats if you don't have one.

    I'm on day 4 of level 3, I haven't lost any weight but I have lost 12 inches last time I measured, so... yeah --- totally works!

    I did it right the way through in April/May and although I didn't lose many pounds (about 5) I did lose a total of 12.5 inches overall.

    I now do Level 2 back-to-back with Level 3 (around an hour in total) twice a week along with No More Trouble Zones and some cardio too. I started off using large tins as weights but Ia m now on 4kg dumbells so it has definitely improved bothmy strength and my stamina. Stick with it - I would say Level 2 is the hardest - and keep on keeping...... you will be delighted with the results :happy:

    Oh, and make sure you stretch more than JM does - I do a short Pilates DVD after my hour long sessions.... it really helps with the muscle soreness and keeps you more flexible.

    Good luck!

    I've done 7 days of the 30 day shred so far and I'm loving it! The exercises do start getting a bit boring after doing the same thing every day but I can already see the difference. I haven't weighed or measured myself yet (doing that at the end of the 30 days) but my stomach feels flatter and more toned and my waist feel a little smaller. And I am improving on the weight training each day. I'm definitely going to complete the 30 days and thinking about doing Ripped in 30 next :)

    I'm on day 7 and loving it. It kicks my butt, but in a good way. Some people don't care for Jillian. If you are smart, you won't let that attitude get it your way because the workout IS effective. There are several 30 Day Shred groups. I would recommend jjoining one. Look for a group that has people who've done it before and who like to network/share. My first group was very boring, so I switched. You will need to decide a workout schedule. Some people go 30 days straight (10 days at each level). I've been dpoing it that way and I get more and more sore everyday. I found out today that some people go 2 days on, 1 day other cardio, repeat, and then take a rest day. I'm switching to this because I think it will work better for my fitness level (intermediate). I think I wouldn't have made it through 30 days straight--it's effective for a reason, it is tough. Also, keep in mind that not everyone experiences a big weight loss. But EVERYONE reports lost inches and increased strength. Good luck to you. Hope you enjoy it! :)
