Jillian Michaels - 30 Day Shred

WARNING: THIS DVD IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS...I REPEAT...THIS DVD IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS. For those of you who have been working out for years and you are looking for a challenge this dvd will do. Each level (there are 3) amounts to about 27min., but you will feel like you have been working out for an hour. While you're actually doing it you feel like "This is so Hard", but by the end you feel great, you feel like you have acomplished something. For the record, all of Jillian's DVDs are great challenges!!!

Jillian Michaels is amazing! This is the first work out DVD that was motivating for me. She gives pointers to make sure that you are doing the exercises correctly and motivates you to keep going. She feels like more of a personal trainer than someone just doing the video. Her workout was simple, but challenging. Most dvd's leave you feeling like you just did some stretches or weights, but I feel like I just came back from the gym. I thought I would miss the elliptical, but Michaels was better because I got a whole body work out! LOVE the dvd!

Great full workout, easy at the beginning and gets tougher with other levels. I started seeing results right away. The only thing I didn't like is that you can't fast-forward the intro and you have to wait every time you put it in.

I just finished my first workout with this dvd and wow! I work out once a week in an advanced yoga class with lots of plank holds, push ups, and lung type exercises and thought this dvd would be easy/medium for me. Boy, was I wrong. I just did the first class a few hours ago and my arms are sore already. (I did just do another bootcamp video yesterday and I am sore from that too.) Jillian kicked my butt and I'm ready to go back for more!

This is a great workout, very intense. I'm not sure I'd recommend for brand new beginners, but it's definitely something to work towards. She does give beginner versions of most of the exercises though. I consider myself advanced when it comes to fitness/weight lifting, and this dvd gives me a run for my money. Jillian kicks my butt as always (I have most of her videos) with this no fluff workout, and I love it. Because each workout is only 20 minutes long, you will work every minute of it, and you'll hate her after only a few minutes into it, but you'll love yourself for pushing through it in the end. The workouts are very similar to those given in her Making the Cut book (which is a great book, and also gave me awesome results), only tailored to fit into a smaller segment of time w/no rest in between. If you're looking to take your fitness to another level, I'd highly recommend it. I don't care what people say, I love Jillian!
