Jillian Michaels 30 DAY SHRED Anyone????

Anyone have this? My husband ordered it for me by mistake (was supposed to get her new book) was wondering if it was worth keeping???

Check out this forum on it

It is such an easy and awesome workout!  I think I was sweating in the first 4 seconds LOL!  Jillian is great, I'm looking forward to getting the rest of her dvds!

melissa, I am on my second day with the dvd--I hate to exercise, but I am trying to do this--I have not mastered it like gingerkabureck,  but I worked all the way through the first workout.  I am tired (which is why I am online), but I am going to see it through.  I figure if it helps me it is worth the 30 minutes of torture!!!  (only torture because I hate exercise--maybe I'll learn to love it).  

Seriously, it is worth the time and the money.  I truly am hoping that I will be able to work my way all the way through the 3rd and hardest workout.

I have definitely not mastered this workout... in fact, I'm not even past the 1st one!  I have been doing it on and off for about 2 weeks, and now I am trying to get myself prepped to do it 30 days straight.  Since there are 3 levels of workout, I am going to do each one for 10 days and see how that goes.  I strongly advise you to keep the dvd- it's a fun and short workout!

Thanks for the reply! I just finished my first workout and WOWZA! Love it!! I can even do it with my 2 girls (ages 2 and 3). Gingerkabureck, and (missed other posters name) join me on the 30 day challenge!! I am definitely doing it in addition to my running training. I am currently at 177 and would love to drop 20 lbs!! I know I can do it, determination and a challenge will get me there. Just something about Jillian right there and seeing her training style is a great ass kicking!!

I am on my 10th day and I have a love/hate relationship with this workout...I LOVE the results but HATE the strain!!  :)  Really, though, I am building lean muscle (I can feel it in my legs and arms) and even started seeing some definition in my stomach (ok, FARRR from a six-pack, but you know the sides?  I can see lines there now).  I am not so jiggly and last week, which was the first full week I did the video, I lost 2 inches off my waist and hips.  I would suggest this DVD to anyone who wants to try to something challenging.  I am planning on doing the first workout for at least another week and then moving on.  There are days I don't want to do it, but I just imagine Jillian coming to me in my dreams and yelling at me to get my butt in gear!!

I just did my day 2. MAN AM I SORE!! I am adding this to my running so I am really working it!! So I was contemplating NOT doing it today but my girls ages 2 and 3 wanted to do it...great motivation. Wondering if it is an every day thing regardless of soreness? I just pretended I was on BL and worked through it...a little burn never hurts.

I took a day off after 2 days because I could hardly walk. I resumed today and the workout felt HARDER than before!! LOL!! I say rest if your body needs it- you don't want to get hurt.

I have a question! My OnDemand feature has shred session and Shred session 2.  I tried the Shred session 1 last night.   WOW what a workout. I too was sweating in the like the first 4 seconds... here's my question...

Am I suppose to do the Shred everyday? (I am silently praying one of you will say of course NOT.... LOL).  I do the Shred Level 1 for how long?  Again, every day?  LOL.  I really really liked it!  Any guidance on  how often I do it would be appreciated. 

 

 

Jennifer, I wonder the same thing. I think it is in her book that is new, I plan on picking it up this weekend. In fact my husband meant to order the book and that's how I ended up with the DVD. I just finished day 3 or 4 I can't remember, and I am so freaking sore! I also ran 2 miles on Tues., Wed, and today on top of that. The running is nothing to me, so I know I am sore from her!! Total kick butt workout! I am guessing the plan is to push yourself, everyday! It's not like it makes you hurt to the point where you CAN'T do a thing! I just keep thinking about BL contestants and I am sure they worked out everyday regardless of sore muscles.

You are supposed to do it every day if you can.  I started it and was so sore the next day, I took a day off.  Then I tried it again... so on so forth.  Once you are able to do it 10 days in a row, I'd suggest moving up to Stage 2.  I might be wrong, but that's how I'm doing it.

I just ordered it on eBay this afternoon. I've heard such great things and I have a 3 year old at home so I can't go out to a gym where I live.  Anyway hope this is as great as everyone says it is!  I LOVE a challenge!

today was my 1st day ... and boy was it hard...had to stop every now and then ... plus ... I just couldn't do the push ups...!!! even with the knee bent ((  )) !!!aaargh ....and my legs were trembling ... literally !!! I didnt expect that ..... 

hoping that I will be able to do it completely the next time ... :)
