Certified instructor description: Two aero/tone interval workouts that combine weight-training with high-intensity cardio ... plus some martial arts and yoga. It's a smooth-flowing fusion that increases motivation while challenging your body in diverse ways. The first workout emphasizes fat-burning cardio; it features traditional body-sculpting routines. The second program is more toning-focused; it includes lots of multi-muscle and yoga-based exercises (e.g. a dumbbell-intensified triangle pose). Both workouts are tough — fast-paced, non-stop circuits that never slow down (however they do show some easier modifications). Jillian's cuing is "bad ass" and aggressive, but always supportive (e.g. "you can do this; just dig deep and work it!"). Requires 3 to 10 dumbbells. ©2011. DVD has: Spanish option, Wide screen, Close captions, Region 1.

Jillian Michaels' Extreme Shed & Shred
Some interesting exercises, but sloppy
I'm afraid I find Jillian's manner too grating (she sounds like an insecure adolescent boy who is trying to prove he's a tough guy) and her sloppiness a distraction from the workout. I just don't think these are of the same quality as Jari Love or Cathe Friedrich. - posted by gina on 2/19/2012

Not bad but typical Jillian
We have three other Jillian workouts all unique and enjoyable but this just felt like a combination of the previous ones but didn't really stand out on it's own. If this is your only video of hers it might be worth the investment but if not I would recommend the 3-2-1. - posted by Linda( Canada) on 2/18/2012

Lot of variety
This is a challenging workout which has a lot of variety of movements. - posted by Thea on 2/16/2012

Not a fan of this one
Love Jillian workouts, but not this one. Some strange moves going on that don't feel effective. - posted by Peggy on 2/16/2012

Yes!
I love most of Jillian's workouts, and this DVD gave some new and exciting moves. An excellent addition to my library. - posted by Kristin on 2/10/2012

Creative Workout
I have most of Jillian's workouts, Ripped in 30 being at the top of my list when short on time. I have done this workout three times, each time using the level one and two option combined. The first two times, since they were weeks apart I was sore for the next two days. The fusion of different styles make this a refreshing workout - nothing boring or repetitious here. Some of the martial arts moves were a little weird, but since no interval lasts that long, it passes quickly. Besides, once I had the flow of the movement down i was able to go with it. I've always been a big fan of Jillian's motivational style since I first read her book Making the Cut, and she is a bit mellower here than in Ripped in 30. This one has found a place in my rotation! - posted by Meghan on 2/9/2012

Dissappointing
I expected this to be much more challenging than it was. I like Ripped In 30 a lot, and love Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. Both of those, in my opinion proved a much better workout. Made it through this easily, and didn't feel like I had done a tough workout. I consider myself an advanced exerciser, also do Cathe and Tae Bo often. If you are not advanced, but more of an intermediate, you may like this, but if you're looking to really push yourself, look elsewhere. Like others said, I found some of the martial arts stuff weird, and some of the yoga moves misplaced. - posted by Beth on 2/7/2012

Good idea - bad execution
I had high hopes for this DVD - fusing yoga, plyometrics, jiu jitsu and other disciplines sounds great. However, this workout does not deliver. I found a lot of the moves required advanced flexibility and co-ordination, plus there was no real 'flow'. Some of the moves seemed to have little purpose - for example, a jiu jitsu side-lunge type move with your hands over your eyes... really? - posted by Kyra on 2/7/2012

Love it!
I have all of Jillian's workouts and I have to say, this is my new favorite! I like that she has some different moves in this one. The stretch at the end is great, too! Love the motivational little talk in the cooldown! - posted by Brittney on 2/4/2012

Great video!
If you want a hard workout in minimal time, this it. Jillian works you hard but shows advanced and modified versions. There's a 30 minute and 45 minute workout - helps when you have limited time but still want a tough workout. Highly recommended! - posted by Karen on 2/4/2012

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

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.

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.

Spanish option

In addition to English, you can choose to hear the program in Spanish.

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Region 1

This DVD is designed for US and Canadian DVD players. It will NOT play in most foreign country players.

Level

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

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

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

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

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.
