Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred
The Biggest Loser trainer's new exercise DVD promises rapid weight loss
BACKGROUND
Start the Diet Now Advertisement
Fitness Guru and NBC’s Biggest Loser trainer, Jillian Michaels, has a repertoire of exercise DVDs, books and vitamins to help you get in shape and stay fit. Her latest DVD, Jillian Michaels: 30-Day Shred, includes three separate workouts designed to give your body the strength, form and power it dreams of having. The DVD, when done according to Michaels’ plan, is supposed to help you lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days. Jillian makes clear that this is not for substantial weight loss- but to help those looking to ditch those last 10-20 pounds through high-intensity exercise.
PRO
- Exercise is a key component to losing weight and maintaining weight loss
- Jillian Michaels is a well-known and well-respected authority on fitness for safe and effective weight loss
- Following Jillian Michaels: 30-Day Shred is much less expensive than paying for a gym membership
- A healthy way to lose those final pounds
CON
- Jillian Michaels: 30-Day Shred promise to lose “up to 20 pounds” is no guarantee
- Exercise must also be followed in conjunction with a low-calorie eating plan in order to lose weight successfully
DIET and NUTRITION
Jillian Michaels: 30-Day Shred does not include any specific dietary information. Even though diet is a key component to any weight-loss plan it is therefore strongly recommended to combine this DVD with one of Michaels’ eating plans or another effective dieting program that seeks to establish long-term healthy eating behaviors.
You can use 30-Day Shred along with Jillian's online weight loss program, which provides detailed guidance for nutritious eating. Joining the Jillian Michaels program online provides members with information to identify the right foods for your body type, custom calorie plan and more than 100 recipes that are both healthy and delicious.
EXERCISE
Jillian Michaels: 30-Day Shred includes three 20-minute workouts that get progressively more challenging as you go through them. Each workout begins with a brief warm-up session and concludes with brief cool-down session. Each of the three workouts is created with Michaels’ signature 3-2-1 Strength/Cardio/Ab training circuit in which three minutes of strength work, 2 minutes of cardiovascular work and 1 minute of abdominal work is performed.
CONCLUSION
It is no question that Jillian Michaels knows what she is talking about when it comes to fitness given her tough workouts, her unflinching motivation and her expert knowledge of physical fitness. If you've been craving those intense Biggest Loser workouts, now is your chance to do it. Her DVD, Jillian Michaels: 30-Day Shred, combines all of Michaels’ trademark qualities including her exclusive signature 3-2-1 Strength/Cardio/Ab training circuit.
Although the DVD promises to help you lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days, there is no guarantee that this amount of weight loss will occur. By performing the workouts on most days of the week, you will increase your cardiovascular stamina, strength and flexibility. In order to lose weight, a sound diet plan should also be followed in conjunction to the performing the workouts in 30-Day Shred.
In just thirty minutes, Michaels packs in a powerful workout that combines the core components of any successful exercise routine.

I am using it in conjunction with the gym and it does kick your butt and gives results :)

This is a great program for fast results. One has to push play every day. I went every other day for a while and saw great results but one has to stick to it. Once a week won't work. Push play every day and you will see results.

The 30DS is certainly effective, but man, it can be HARD. I've never been big on exercise and decided to get in shape with the 30DS (combined with eating healthier and watching my calories.) I finished level 1, which was killer at first but got way easier. Today I started level 2 and couldn't even get through the whole thing. I will keep trying every day, but man, it is TOUGH. The good news is I can already see results. I've only lost a couple of pounds, but I have definitely gained muscle - I can already see more definition in my stomach, and my arms are stronger than they were before! I definitely recommend this workout if you're prepared for the intensity.

I have done a tone of different workout dvd's and this one is one of the best. It was only $10 @ Walmart too! It's fast moving, and very motivating. I lost about 80lbs 7 years ago and have recently gained about 20lbs back but this workout is kick starting me back into losing weight. it's nice because it's short but you really feel it. Jillian is awesome, she talks to you in a way that makes you want to put all your effort into the workout and then not ruin it after by eating something bad for you!

I agree with Josh. This is not a diet - it is an advertisement DVD :(

This program consistently rates really highly by users. She's supposed to be a tough lady, but she knows how to get the heart pumping and the body jumping!

What a great workout DVD!
posted Aug 30th, 2011 10:36 amI have never owned one before, I'm only 16, but my friend and I decided to get into shape. She wants to gain 2 lbs a week (she is only 102 lbs and 5'7) she is doing this to gain mucle along with eating lots and drinking protein shakes. But I want to LOOSE 2 lbs a week which will be a little harder. I am also 5'7 but 137 pounds, somedays more. I want to get down to 120 something. I did day 1 yesterday and it was awesome! She motivates you so much and I just want to push myself further! I am doing this along with. the bender ball workout, which is great for abs. We are working out together 3 days a week but I want to do both the 30 day and bender every day at least once. When school starts in a week I probably won't have time for more than 20 mins a day but right now I can.
I recommend this for anyone who is out of shape, but not more than 20-30 pounds overweight. I am not overweight, but I sure am out of shape! If you are 200+ this may be hard for you but you can always modify.
Wow this got long, sorry guys I'm just so excited! Good luck to everyone and I'm gonna go kick some now!

This video kills me every time! I'm still on workout 1 and I've been doing it for 18 days. I want to move on, but I want to master workout 1 before moving on to workout 2. I like this video a lot and it always makes me feel like I actually put in work.

I have been dieting and exercising since August and have lost over 70 pounds. I have been jogging, lifting weights and riding my bike and have gone from a size 18 to an 8. I have about 10 more pounds to lose so I bought this DVD. I am on Day 2 in Level 1 and I am so sore!!! I love this workout and think it is going to be just what I need to get motivated again to shed the last few pounds and go down 1 more size!

I am getting married in the middle of August. I am the world's worst at staying motivated. After giving birth to my beautiful daughter last August, I weighed 189 lbs. I was disgusted with myself and hated the way that I looked and felt. I had to make a change. I started with getting myself to eat better and lowering my stress levels. (I have an anxiety disorder and wasn't healthy enough to start exercise.)
posted May 18th, 2011 1:47 pmAfter January, my doctor suggested yoga. I loved it! I got Jillian's Yoga Meltdown and am down to 174 pounds. I started out in a size 16 and am now at a size 13.
I bought my wedding dress a few weeks ago. It is a size 9/10. I will not be getting this dress altered. I am going to lose the inches. This is something that I have to do for myself.
This is my second day on the 30 Day Shred. I am on a vegan diet (strictly 1200 calories/ day). I was in pain after my first session, but today I feel confident that I can do it.
I encourage everyone who has come to a point where they are serious about becoming more healthy to get active, eat right, and just do it! This video is a great place to begin.
