So I've been a Jillian Michael's addict since I started MFP and first saw the words "30 Day Shred"... but having been doing solely her workouts for the last 10 months or so I got curious and finally purchased a Jackie Warner video.

Who has your dream body?! Let's see some motivational pictur
We all have different goals on where we want to be in the end. For me personally, I want to be toned but not ripped.

Just saw a preview for the new JM Kinect game! Definitely going to hint to the husband that this would be a good Christmas present :-) I got the Kinect MyFitness game and was so disappointed by the lack of intensity.

Kinect Your Shape Fitness Evolved
Hi all of you Kinect owners! I have a Kinect and I absolutely love it. I don't play it as much as I thought I would though... My issue is that the Your Shape Fitness game doesn't seem to have hard enough work outs. The personal trainer section has SO many breaks in it... I don't want breaks! I want an hour of intensity..…

30 Day Shred Results
Hey everyone So I've started the 30 day shred and am curious what results people who have completed the 30 days have seen. Can you actually do a minute of real push-ups now? What weights are you using... 3, 5, 8 lb? Do you feel like the 20 minute workout isn't enough anymore? (I can't imagine seeing as level 2 kicked my…
