Time graph for Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred
Three well-structured aero/tone interval workouts led by “The Biggest Loser” trainer. These fast-paced exercises will keep you burning fat as you sculpt muscle. The programs build in intensity; you can start with the intermediate level and work up to the advanced program (it’s tough! — moves like plyo-lunges and traveling pushups). Each workout has three “cycles.” Each cycle starts with three minutes of multi-muscle and isolated strength training. Then it’s two minutes of non-dancy kickbox and athletic-style cardio. That’s followed by one minute of classic abwork (then — no rest — you’ll immediately start a new cycle). Like on the TV show, Jillian is both demanding and supportive. Requires 3 to 5 lb. dumbbells. ©2008. DVD has: Music only option, Region 1.

Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred

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
good workout
When I 1st bought this DVD I could barely get through 1 circuit now I do all 3 at once and alternate it with her "no more trouble zones" dvd. I like the variety and I feel good when I'm done. - posted by Andrea on 9/9/2009
Jillian delivers with this video!
I'm a 28 year old woman and prefer video's that deliver results quickly. I would say my fitness level is intermediate. Previous to working out to this dvd, I had been doing the jumprope sport dvd workout for a month. I thought I would be prepared endurance wise, but level 1 still kicked my butt!! I started at level 1 and did every level for 10 days with 1 day off a week. I have finished my 30 days and can tell you that if you stick with it as I did you will get results!! I lost 4 inches and 10 pounds. I bet I could've lost more weight/inches if I followed a stricter diet. I actually went clothes shopping for the first time in about 8 months!! - posted by Kristin on 9/8/2009
Good quick but effective Workout
I've been working out for 10 years now but have slacked off on weight training for about 4 years now. I did Jillian's Cardio Kickboxing and had to do it twice. I was working out 3 days a week for 45 minutes at a time. I did this workout 3 times last week in addition to some bicycling, because I honestly didn't think I could handle this workout two days in a row. I only own 5 lb. weights right now, so it's using a total of 10 pounds, which makes this hard because my arms are very weak. I'm also not a fan of pushups and could only do the first set of the modified ones when I started it. So far this week, I've done the workout 2 days in a row without a problem. I'm hoping to do at least 5-6 days straight. I got through the 2 sets of modified pushups, which is still my least favorite part of the workout. However, I am hoping to be able to do regular pushups soon! I am not going to move on to Level 2 until I can do the pushups the regular way. The other moves aren't so hard, it's just that I need to buy 2 or 3 pound weights and alternate. I have had experience doing the lunges with the bicep curls before so using the 5 pound weights during that is best. I also watched the whole DVD and the first time I did it, I did Level 1 and Level 2 and I couldn't walk for almost a week. To me, Level 2 seems harder than Level 3 which I haven't even attempted yet, this is on appearance alone. I'm not a fan of planks either, and had a hard time with those. (back issues/form issues) However, I feel like this will help me get back into strength training. I think this workout is great, definitely more for intermediate to advanced though. I wouldn't recommend for someone who hasn't ever worked out before. - posted by Jennifer on 9/7/2009
This is not just for woman!
I am a 52 year old man and have always been in pretty good shape from lifting and running almost all my life. But the 30 day shred does far more in far less time. If you are like me, you'll be gasping, sweating and your body will change after 3 workouts. You can feel that you are leaner and if you stay with it, it gets easier, which means you are stronger. If you are at the stage (like me)where you are only looking to lose 4-5 pounds, then this must be combined with a strict diet. This program saves time, is cheap and will also whip a man's butt! - posted by JohnK on 9/5/2009
It worked for me....It can work for you!
I have been doing this workout for about 30 days now, and I have lost about 10 pounds, and am also very toned. I went from a size 7-9 down to a size 5...in 30 days! To me that's awesome! I think Jillian is great! She is really motivating and not annoying or too pushy. I love how she's always pushing you to not quit early because you know you want to! I have just started on level 2 because personally I was afraid to move on and honestly Level 1 is still a butt kicker for me.... I add the 5 lb weights to almost everything, such as the butt kicks and the punches, and use 10 lb weights on a few of the moves and that makes for an even better workout! For those people on here complaining about the music not going with the steps or whatever....seriously? these moves are so easy to follow, and if your really working on your workout, then your not paying attention to the music because I haven't noticed any of those problems. I was a beginner 30 days ago and I definitely recommend purchasing it and letting Jillian kick your butt!!! - posted by Renee on 8/27/2009

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
sample time graph
Music only option
X
This feature allows you to play only the music, without any cuing (after you’ve learned the movements and you just want to do the workout without listening to the instruction).
Region 1
X
This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.
Level
X
Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Aerobics impact
X
Lower Impact: Both feet never leave the ground at the same time. This minimizes stress on your knees.

Higher Impact: Includes movements like jumps, hops and skips. Very high-impact is called plyometrics.

Mixed Impact: This alternates or combines the above styles.

Aerobics choreography
X
Basic: The easiest to follow. It ranges from simple walking-style marches to sports and athletic movements.

Complex: More intricate combinations and patterns. They're ideal for people who like to dance.

Moderate: More interesting than Basic, less dancy than Complex.

Toning emphasis
X
Upper body: Arms, chest and back.

Lower Body: Legs, thighs, hips and buttocks.

Abs: Abdominals (stomach), core and sometimes lower back.

Total body: Tones all three of the above muscle groups.

Floor aerobics & toning
X
Definition: Includes two workout activities. The aerobics segments are fast-paced standing movements like marching, dancing and jumping. These segments require no equipment. The toning sections are slow, controlled movements working against a resistance. These may include Pilates and weight training.

Benefits: The combination of both activities provides a balanced workout. The aerobics burns calories, strengthens your heart and increases stamina. The toning builds lean muscles, increases your metabolism and makes everyday activities easier.
