Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred |
 Great Workout! |
| It is advanced, but I always tell myself it is only 20 mins. Jullian allows time for a drink of water and the routines are easy to follow. Anyone short on time and doesn't enjoy working out for hours this is a MUST!! I have seen results with this workout in 2 weeks. - posted by Shannon on 11/12/2009 |

| Great for beginners |
| This is a very good workout DVD especially for people starting to exercise. I like how Jillian combines cardio with strength training and abs, very good for burning fat. You will sweat and love this dvd! You get 3 levels of cardio workout, so pick what you want and go to town and burn fat! Highly recommended. - posted by Burt on 11/11/2009 |

| GREAT workout-not for beginners |
| This is an awesome workout. I have been working out for 6 years, but ramped up intensity 2 years ago. I planned to do each level for 1 week. I did that to work up to level three. Eventually made it up to level three and did that level for 28 days straight. I didn't lose a lot of weight but definitely toned and strengthened-I know so because the moves got easier to do-this remains a favorite for an intense workout on days when time is short. - posted by Helen on 11/9/2009 |

| WOW! |
| I have been in this program for 2 weeks now, and I've lost 5 pounds!! This workout really delivers! I have never had faster results with any other program, I had almost given up on working out because it just wasn't delivering results, I'm SO GLAD I TRIED THIS DVD! It's really motivating, and you can select from 3 levels, so you can ease your way into it (if you're like me and hate working out!) I work out 6x per week, I'm so pleased with the results, I recommend this to ANYONE!!! I actually enjoy my workout now! - posted by Leah on 11/9/2009 |

| Awesome Video!! |
| I was weary about trying out this video, because I am not at all at an intermediate level, yet nor do I consider myself to be at a beginner. In addition, starting at 5'2" 225 lbs, I was concerned that maybe it would be too much for me (I've worked out in the past but not recenlty) and my knees. But, I decided to take a shot at anyways and go easy on myself when my body didn't feel strong enough. I also decided that instead of completing all three circuits in 30 days, I would extend it to 3 months which would allow my body to adjust to the beginner and intermediate levels of each circuit for about a month and move on to the next circuit. So far, I'm on month two (week two) and have lost a total of 15 LBS since I started one month ago!!! Jillian's cueing is on point, at first I hated her 'tough love attitude" but after really focusing on my muscles and the amount of effort/engery that I put into each move I found that I can't get enough of this workout! I do this workout everyday in addition, to my 4 mile walk with leslie sansone and my rotation of strength training with the firm. Although my other workout tapes helps me burn calories, I usually plateau very quickly, so I credit the 30 day shred with helping me switch things up! The moves are tough but not impossible. Mind over matter. If you want to see results with this work out you also need to be aware that nutrition IS 80% of your results (as far as I've read and noticed). It's been a struggle but I've been eating a well balanced diet of 6 small meals of whole grains, veggies/fruit, lean dairy, and lean protein. If you need help figuring out your nutrition, I highly recommend reading Jorge Cruise's books or the Eat clean diet. I'm very excited about my success and can't wait to reach my goal of a 100lb weight loss!! Only 85 lbs to go!! - posted by Simone on 11/9/2009 |

| FAST results! |
| I will admit that the first time I tried level 1 i couldnt even finish! But i've been doing level one consecutive for a week now and have dropped 5 lbs and 2 inches off my hips and an inch off my waist! i'm definitely seeing some tonage too! I LOVE it! if you need to get in shape or lose weight fast for an upcoming vacation, or event, this dvd will totally help you! - posted by Kay on 10/29/2009 |

| Solid |
| I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser who took some time off. I picked up this video so I'd have some shorter workout choices for days when I dont' have as much time and I'd like to work out.
I honestly think the three workouts on this tape are all quite good. It is important when rating a video to think about the intended audience. If you need to get back into shape, this is an appropriate video for you. If you're an advanced exerciser, you probably can find other videos in the Collage collection that will challenge you, so don't buy this and then give it a 3-star review. Get a Kelly Coffey-Meyers video instead. Seriously!
Jillian knows that "Biggest Loser" fans will be watching her DVD releases, so I think some of her toughness and comments are geared to keep that set motivated and fighting for their health and weight loss--and I think it works! I felt really motivated by her attitude and comments about not stopping, not threatened or put-down as some have said.
She is really trying to convince everyone who watches that they CAN do it, and that if they are willing to work, they will see results. I have no doubt that people who commit to her program will see results, and will eventually be fit enough to move on to longer and more challenging workouts. I highly recommend this DVD for those who are new or returning to exercise. - posted by Elizabeth on 10/22/2009 |

| Great workout for busy moms! |
| I have been a huge Tae-Bo fan for about 7 years now and got great results with it in the past doing the advanced workouts. After I had my baby 2 years ago, I didn't work out regularly for over a year and was looking for something to get back into exercising with. This one is SO perfect! I asked for the 30-Day Shred for Christmas last year and did it as many days of the week as I could. On days I had more time, I would still throw in a Tae-Bo or do 2 of Jillian's Shred workouts in a row. I did each level 10 times until I was done (took me about 2 months). During that time I lost my baby weight and was back into my pre-baby jeans! Then I went back to work full time. It has been 6 months now and I finally am starting to work out REGULARLY (again). I went back to the 30-Day Shred series because for 20 minutes a day, it DOES NOT waste my time! As a busy full-time working mom, I don't want to waste my time I could be spending with my daughter on something that is not going to be worth it and, frankly, not kick my butt! This one does every time :) Afterward, my body feels almost as "worked" as when I used to do my 1-hour Tae-Bo workouts (which I will still throw in every once in awhile when I have more time because they are fun). This workout makes every spare minute you have count! - posted by Amie on 10/20/2009 |

| SOLID! |
| Excellent compact routines for when you're short on time, or you could add another cardio DVD to each portion for a longer workout! Jillian's videos have improved with time; she is much less nervous than when she started. I'll know I'm in great shape when I can do all three shred segments for one killer workout! You can vary weights depending on the exercise - for example, I use heavier weights for the lunges. And......HIT IT, GIRLS!!! - posted by Susan W. on 9/14/2009 |

| Great DVD, difficult but rewarding! |
| I am a beginning exerciser, and have been working out again for six months. I recently got this one and wow!!! It's difficult- but for some reason I keep choosing it day after day. I love Jillian's attitude, she gets me to push myself harder than any other video. And it's 20 minutes so I feel I can do it - and not give up even when I'm dying. And believe me you do feel like dying!! The moves are straightforward, I tried Turbo Jam and couldn't keep up with the moves the first time so it turned me off b/c I didn't feel I was getting a good enough workout when I had to pay attention to form and moves the whole time. This one you can follow and get a great workout the first time. I have been on level one with three pound weights for two months, but I want to feel really good about it before I move on (maybe be able to do those full pushups). I have noticed the biggest change in my arms and shoulders. Excellent, excellent DVD! Love Jillian as an instructor. - posted by Nina on 9/11/2009 |
