Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred
The Biggest Loser trainer's new exercise DVD promises rapid weight loss
BACKGROUND
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 love the 30 day shred. it is quick multileveled and does get results. I will mention you will be cursing Jillian out more then once duing the exercising, but she is motivating. I also like that you can turn off the the voice after you have done it a few times and don't really need the feedback
I have been doing this workout for a little over a month. I am not doing the diet; however, I have lost a total of 6 inches total off of my body. I have gained weight, but because of the way I feel, it must be muscle weight. This is all in doing only level one. I just started level two this week and it is a killer. My friend and I are pushing each other to make it through this month so that we can try level three. We are both seeing results and I recomend this whole heartly if you want someone to kick your into shape. Jillian will do it!

I'm on day 4 of level one and I am 100% committed. The results were immediate for myself. My quads and shoulders, (that I didn't even know existed), until after day one improved overnight. Each day I feel bulges in all the right places instead of where I didn't want them. So far, lovin it.
Best workout DVD ever! Have been gym member for many years and had intense classes, but this DVD kicks butt!
20mins of pure workout! I love it, I'm on Level 3 now and I did Level 1 tonight as I was feeling a bit lazy - the difference between these levels is quite big - I feel so much more fit going back to Level 1 - who would've thought!!!
I'm on my second week of the DVD. Just started level 2 yesterday and am astonished! What could be better than a 20 minute work out that seriously kicks your *!!?! Its great. For several months i've tried many at home workouts... couldn't stay tuned in. The first time i tried this DVD i knew it was great. Works all parts of your body, in ways i never knew possible. With a 2 year old, its hard to find time to work out, so with just 20 minutes a day, i can do this!...and it feels great!
I am loving it so far... It is very motivating and I am planning on big results!!!
LOVE IT!
I've only had it a couple days, so it's too early to see results. But, I like that it doesn't take that long and I can do it right away in the morning before I get ready for work without having to get up an hour and a half early. Plus, even after only two days I feel "good" sore. Woot!

If you want a kick * workout in the shortest time possible, that seriously delivers results, this is it. Jillian will kick your * and yes, you will hate her for it, but the results will make you glad you did it.

Wow. Awesome workout... Didn't think I could get that good of a workout in just 20 minutes... and next day feel like I've had my butt kicked I am so sore!!! Can't wait to see results!!
I've been using the DVD for a few weeks now...still on level 1...and I don't do it everyday. But I have lost 5 pounds. Like others I was extrememely sore after the 1st workout but after waiting a couple of days got back on that horse. Now I am able to go deeper on the squats and lunges and hope to soon be ready for level 2. I like that it is in short intervals and it is a manageable 20 minute routine. I would definitely recommend it!
I totally love this DVD. Jillian really kicks butt. This is my second day and I am EXTREMELY SORE!!!! I will definitely recommend this workout because it is not too long and you can feel it all throughout the body.

Super great, works you out and kicks your butt in no time. You will have so much fun working out with this video!
works you out! I tried the first level for the first time today and immediately could tell I worked out! I love this DVD!!! I hope to lose alot!
WOW!!!! It is the best workout ever! I have lost weight, tonified my muscles and gained strength and flexibility in only 15 days!
WOW...I am on day 13 and almost half way there.
Before starting this progam I was going to the gym 4 -5 days a week for the past 6 months. This is the most intense 20 minute workout I have ever experienced. I have officially cancelled my gym membership - I see more of a difference in two weeks with these workouts than I did in 6 months at the gym. I am following my suggested daily calorie intake for my size. I have lost 6 pounds so far, 2 1/2 inches off of my waist, 2 inches off my hips and my whole body is toning up nicely. I took all my measurements the day before I started the program and will take them on day 30 to see what the overall inch loss is.
This video is not for the faint of heart - it is tough. Just know, that if you do it every day and only eat your daily calories for your size.....you will get results.
Holy crap! I'm a stay at home mom, so excercise and me are not the best of friends! This totally kicked my ass!!! I've been doing it for about 5 days which is officially about 5 days longer than any other routine I've adopted. LOVE IT!!! Just did level 2 today. Can't wait to see results!!!
I've done level one through exercise t.v. and will purchase the dvd. However, are you suppose to do the dvd EVERYDAY? I thought with weight training you are suppose to give a day rest before you work the same area? Help, Anyone??
Love it. Only on day 2 but I was sore after the first workout. I can feel muscles that I haven't felt in a looong time. Knowing that each workout is 20 minutes and each motion is only 30 seconds helps you put the dvd in, give it your all and finish up to the last second! I'll repost next Friday and let ya know how I feel :)
