Jillian Michaels 30-day Shred

So Jillian just came out with this new program called the 30-day Shread. The DVD is only $12.99 on Amazon. It has three 20-minute workouts, each harder than the last. The idea is that you take 20 minutes each day to put in a SOLID workout, and you can lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days! She also has a book that includes recipes and dieting advice to go along with the DVD, but you have to purchase that separately.

I LOVE this program. I only bought the DVD. I'm following my own diet (which isn't very strict, just sensible). I'm on Day 6. I've lost 3 lb so far! I'm already seeing an improvement in muscle tone in my thighs and arms. I can't wait to see where I am in 24 more days!! This is exactly the butt-kicking that I needed to get me motivated and back on track!

So yeah, that sounds like an ad. I apologize. But that's honestly truthfully how I feel about it so far!

Does anybody else have it yet?

the same thing happend to me..i did the level 1, and could barely move for 3 days..and im fairly active..a week later i started all over and was not that sore..im on day 7, and today will be my second day doing level 2... :)

I'm on day 5 of Level One.  I love the workout and especially love that it only takes 20 minutes!  All of these posts have really motivated me - I hope I have as much success that most people on here have!  What is everyone using for weights?  I'm using 5lb - wondering if I need to add some weight?

 

 

I have the DVD, and I like it, even though it was much easier than I thought it would be... On my first day I did level 1 (because she said you should start with level one), but I didn't feel pumped enought aferwards, so I did level 3 as well! :P

However, I like having a DVD to watch/home trainer pushing me, so I can reccommend this DVD (and you don't need lots and lots of equipment!). I think I have to buy heavier handweights. What are people using for weights here?

I have been doing the 30 shred for 2 months and I am down 5 lbs. I have NEVER stuck with a DVD exercise program this long! I really like it! And can see a difference and feel less tired during the day~

Does anyone know how many calories level one burns?

Thanks!

I have just started ... and am on 4th day today .... I still find it very tiring and still cant do the push ups  ... though I dont feel like am gonna pass out like I did the first time .... 

 good luck everyone 

I am a 13-year old girl and i don't want too much muscle-i'm using 5 pounders, should i use the 3 pounders instead?

good luck all!

hi, if you are using 5 lb. weights, you must be a strong little cookie :-)

I think 3 lbs would do the trick.

 

itsjustmegain- thank you:) i heard muscle turns to flab when you get older!

Bought mine at Chapters/Indigo :)

 

Muscle only turns to flab if you stop working out with weights. It doesn't matter what age you are. When I was a teen I stopped using weights and my muscle became fat. My dad is a body builder and he still has all muscle (no fat anywhere) and he is 62.  It has nothing to do with age just consistency.

 Muscle cannot turn into fat. It CAN atrophy but canNOT turn into fat. Two separate things, entirely.

 

I never used weights. So it can't turn to flab.
