 Yikes!!! July 8, 2008

I have never in my life gotten results like I have with Jillian's 30 Day Shred!!! I stumbled across her videos on my "On Demand" menu from Comcast and have been addicted ever since! All that was available on my TV was the phase 2 and 3, so I actually never even saw phase 1 when I started :0
I am not in the best shape in the world. I used to play sports but have not in the last 7 years. I am only about 10 lbs overweight but am looking to lose about 20 lbs and to completely tone up.
So... I get my mat and my weights out, (I use 3 pounders), and start phase 2. Umm ya, I thought I was going to DIE!! This is a really intense workout but I did however stick with the full 20 minutes. You do really have to push yourself, Jillian says that your body can not adapt to what you want it to do if you do not push it! I do not think I have ever sweated that much in my life!
Yes there are some basic moves in this seris but I have to say that they are pretty darn effective. I did 6 straight days of phase 2 and got increasingly better with each passing day. (Do not get me wrong, I still sweated up a storm and wanted to quit). After those 6 days I had only lost about 2 lbs but I could see a MAJOR difference in my body. My arms were firmer, my abs felt tighter, my love handles were a little smaller, my legs were stronger and my back... oh the best part, my back was ripped! People were also telling me my face was thinner! My clothes also were fitting better and even feeling a little loose.
I had to take a week off which sucked, but I ordered the DVD and it is just fantastic. I started back up again and never bothered to look at phase 1 since I can already do phase 2. I also have only WATCHED phase 3 and have yet to actually do it but it looks hella intense!
I see no problem doing part of this video everyday. Just listen to your body and be responsible, you know its limits. I actually had very minimal pain and that is what led me to do it everyday; I was barely sore at all!
I have tried many things to get in shape but nothing, absolutely nothing, has given me results like this!
Please do not forget that with any exercise program you must incorporate a healthy diet. If you want results you have to make sacrifices. In a world drenched in fast greasy foods, oversized portions and processed garbage galore it is hard to make good choices. Do your best to eat out less, to cook more healthful meals, to use lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains, to drink a minimal amount of alcohol and to try and drink a lot of water.
You can do it! Commit! I really mean it! You have to give it your all!
Good luck and I will keep you posted, I am doing 30 straight days!!

This workout video is amazing. I bought it at Modells because I could not wait to try it. I started the workout the day I bought it. Did Level 1 for 2 weeks and am now at level 2 for two weeks. I have not lost 20 lbs but I have lost inches. I went down about 1 1/2 sizes from a tight fitting size 10 to a comfortable size 8 so far and it has only been 29 days. I lost about 5 lbs...I think. Probably would have lost more if I was strict with my diet. Have done the 20 minute workout routine everyday. My goal is to get down to a size 6. I feel the difference. I am definetely more toned. The 20 minutes (25 minutes with warm up and cool down) works for me since I am working mom of 2 little ones. I squeeze in the workout no matter what b/c it is only 25 minutes total. No excuses! Highly recommend this workout!!! Love it!!!!

This is by far the best workout video I have ever done- when I purchased it I thought it would be good to fill in some of my other workouts. Well let me tell you- if you can add this to your normal workout you are superhuman!! This is a full workout all on its own!! All I can say is thank you Jillian for making such a great-fun-time friendly workout!

These workouts are brief but tough. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. You will work hard and sweat, but you will be glad you did.

First I'd like to say how much I love this video and from the first wokout, I knew I was doing something good for my body. My legs were shaking by the end and they were sore for the next two days.
I've been working out for many years and one of the "rules" of working out is, when you're lifting weights, you need to give the muscles you've worked a day of rest in order for them to recouperate and grow. Increases in muscle size and strength don't occur while you're training, they occur during the rest period between workouts. This is when your muscles recover and rebuild, gradually becoming bigger and stronger. The recovery process takes at least 48 hours. For this reason, strength training sessions should be scheduled no more frequently than every other day. If you prefer to train more often, you should avoid hitting the same muscle group on consecutive days. This means you must rest long enough to allow for recovery of the targeted muscle group, the nervous system, refill glycogen stores (Energy stored within your muscles), and also allow enough time for the muscles to make improvements or increases. This process takes time. Generally, it takes between 2-7 days to recover from a strength workout! The harder you work the longer it takes your body to repair. Don't short-circuit your progress by strength training too often!
This workout simultaneously works your upper and lower body, which is why I do it every other day, rather than every day. I just feel that on the off days, doing some sort of cardio is the way to go. Jillian doesn't really specify in the video whether to do this daily or every other day.
