Re: Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred

I bought this yesterday and watched it last night - I too thought 'this doesn't look so bad!' ha ha

Wow - she gives a great workout - I will definitely do this on a regular basis!

Re: Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred

I've just ordered this as something to do when time is tight and can't wait to do the workout!

I wanted to bump this thread and ask what results did people have after 30 days?

Re: Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred

I really like this DVD...definitely a great workout...I do however find it hard on my knees (and I don't have any knee problems)....so I'm thinking it's my form....just watch the knees, otherwise I give it high marks!

Happy shredding!

Re: Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred

So what level are you guys on? I have done level one a couple of times. It is hard and bits and pieces of level two.

Re: Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred

i do level one since i'm not consistent at all. i think this time i am trying to stay with the program a bit more so maybe will move up after a week or two.

Re: Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred

I can do level one....most of level two...with some modifications...and bits and pieces of level three.

I have to admit...when I do pop it in...I tend to do level one the most often.

It's quite the workout!

Re: Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred

I did level one again today - and some of two. I was going to suggest some kind of "challenge" but thinking all that jumping up and down is hurting my sore Achilles tendon so I may take a Jillian break for a bit. I do think it is a really great work out though.

I may prefer the trouble zone dvd though. It is not a circle (cardio, strength etc) one but pretty hard stuff as well.

Re: Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred

I've just done my second day of level 1 - and I can really feel it - I have soreness from when I did it on Tuesday. I'm planning to do it 30 days straight and do 10 days on each level. Hopefully this will help me feel better for Christmas and I want want to mess it all up

It is hard but because the sections are short you can push through and get it done. The side lunge and arm raise is killer - my arms KILL. I am using 5lbs in each hand - does that seem heavy enough? I guess it is for now because the arms I can really feel.

My legs hurt but because I got slammed in a subway train door yesterday - so embarassing. And bruising...

Re: Jillian Michaels 30-Day Shred

I'm with you, Alexa - on everything besides being slammed in a subway car (how the heck??) - I did my second day in a row yesterday. I feel like I'm getting more sore by the day though. Is that even possible?

Yeah the doors just slam shut on you and that's it. I was wearing headphones so I didn't hear the bleeping. Bruise looking very elegant...

Day 4 today (but didn't do it on 2nd day) plus 2 hrs kickboxing. But yeah, i felt like my arms were getting worse and worse! Also not loving the side lunges.

Did anyone take pictures? I am going to but haven't yet...
