Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred |
  Short but tough |
| This was my first Jillian Michaels video. I am a solid intermediate exerciser and I love interval workouts. This fits the bill. I prefer No More Trouble Zones, but I just love that this is 27 minutes long. I don't always have 45 minutes - 1 hour to exercise. This gives me a great workout in less than 1/2 hour, a reason I keep coming back for it. - posted by Laura on 2/6/2010 |

| Better than I expected |
| I know everyone rated this dvd high, yet I was still impressed with it. I am an inter/adv exerciser and love this dvd. Sometimes I just don't have a full hour to workout and this one is perfect for those days. This is the first Jillian dvd I have purchased. The moves are effective and I was sore the next few days after doing the dvd. - posted by Mel on 2/2/2010 |

| Great workout DVD |
| I did level one for the first time yesterday and I really liked it! I LOVE the fact that there aren't any fancy hard to follow moves which keeps it simple to do even though I feel like I'm really working! I also love that each workout is under 30 minutes as that is all the time I have in a day to commit to exercise! The 3-2-1 plan is a great idea too! can't say enough good things! - posted by T.

| Jillian totally kicked my B*U*T*T!! :P |
| I don't know how she does it, but she manages to hit each and every muscle of your body without even forgetting the cardio! In just the first 5 minutes I was already sweating and I used to do THE FIRM workouts that lasted about an hour...(Those were for beginners if we compare it to this Jillian workout). Loved the circuits: strength, cardio and abs! Her cuing was really good and she offered both beginner and advanced level. Trust me it's only 20 minutes but it's TOUGH...it's really TOUGH! Can't wait to reach level 3! - posted by Annette on 1/31/2010 |

| Too repetitive |
| I can't stand workouts that repeat the same thing over and over again. This is one of those, as is most of Jill's videos. It definitely works you, just a little boring. - posted by T on 1/27/2010 |

| Why do people love Jillian? |
| I find Jillian boring and do not understand how she inspires people to return to her workouts. I've tried two of her DVDs and both were uninspiring and, frankly, unoriginal. I find I dread her workouts despite the fact that I return to others (e.g., Kelly Coffey-Meyer, Michelle Dozois) that I find equally challenging. She isn't very creative or clever or fun. And who wants to get all panty and then drop to the floor for abs every two minutes? - posted by Holly on 1/23/2010 |

| Simply the Best! |
| This is THE workout that does it for me every time. I have been exercising daily for about three years now, and consider myself a solid intermediate to advanced level...and yet this workout is tough (in a good way!) every time. If I hit a plateau in weight or fitness, I pull this one out, add it to my rotation a couple of times a week and in no time I'm right back where I want to be. Jillian is relentless, she pushes me beyond what I think I can do...and yet I do it and feel great. Her instruction is easy to follow, and the two women she has exercising with her are in great shape, very inspirational. The workout is easy to follow, but the exercises are tough so don't give up...it really does get easier if you can make yourself stick with it for 4-5 days. The first time, I did each of the three levels for 10 days (30 days total). Now that I am more on fitness maintenance, I like to just pick one of the levels and do it as my daily workout occasionally. Each level is only 20 minutes, so even though they are tough, they are do-able. I love the results Jillian gives me and highly recommend this dvd to everyone who asks how I lost my weight and keep it off! - posted by Julie (Busy Mom of Seven Gets in Shape) on 1/20/2010 |

| Jillian is amaaaaaazing! |
| I've had this DVD for over a year now and it still has that kicking butt effect on me no matter which level I do. Jillian is simply the best trainer out there...she's so motivating and pushes you to no end. Since I only a few pounds to lose I always use one of the three levels as an add-on to other workouts along with her BFBM and NMTZ workouts. It's quick, effective and I do believe that someone with a lot of weight to lose could in fact lose a good amount of weight if they follow it for 30 days. This one is a keeper! - posted by Ms.Dee on 1/19/2010 |

| LOVE, LOVE, LOVE |
| I purchased the 30 Day Shred to kick start an at home workout routine in mid-December. I am beginner/intermediate. This is a KICK BUTT workout at only 20 minutes. My attention span is about 30 minutes, max. The first time I thought I was going to die; I wanted to quit, but I kept with it. After 2 weeks I lost an inch on my waist. I alternate between 3 & 5 pound weights. I moved to level 2 because I was bored with level 1, alternating between the two, depending on how hard I want to work. If you have bad knees/ankles you can alter the jumping & get the same results, which is what I do. My 23 year old son, who pumps weights regularly, did level 1 with me and by the third circuit he was burning & panting; he used heavier weights. I would recommend this DVD to anyone with time constraints or a short attention span. Love this DVD. - posted by Lori on 1/11/2010 |
