    I had never purchased a Jillian Michaels DVD before b/c of the hit or miss reviews. So when I heard raves about this one, I decided to give it a shot and I am so glad I did. This is an absolute butt-kicker workout. I am an intermediate/advanced exerciser (I work out 5-6 days a week) so I figured I could see what Level 1 was all about and move onto Level 2 right away. Listen to me folks–these workouts are HARD. Level 2 was VERY difficult–a good difficult though, very challenging. When Jillian tells you to start at level 1, listen to her she knows what she’s doing. I’ve been at this for about 5 days, and I already feel a difference in my body.
    Jillian is tough–absolutely NO rest in this workout (not even for a sip of water) but that’s what makes it go by so quickly, and it makes your body change, according to Jillian. You’re done before you know it–but by the end you’ve gotten a kick butt workout and feel like you’ve really done something. She bases her workout on the 3-2-1 method: 3 mins strength, 2 mins cardio, 1 min abs. Her strength circuits remind me of Jari Love–compound exercises that work the upper and lower body simultaneously. The cardio is good as well: a lot of jumping, so watch those knees (she has a modifier for beginner and lower impact) And the abs is straight up ab work–a variety of crunches and twists on the floor.
    This is a great workout and I find Jillian to be tough but she’s pretty likeable. Be warned though: she’s no-nonsense. I think it’s funny when during the stretch she admits she’s not flexible and struggles to reach her legs on the floor. I thought “Ha, Ha, finally something I’m better at than Jillian!” lol
    If you really want to get a good workout and to jumpstart your weight loss get this DVD you will not be disappointed. It’s great for those who are short on time too and want to try something new; every workout is just under 30 mins!

    This video is great! It really kicks your butt and it only lasts 20 minutes!

    This is a really good workout. It’s geared a little more to advanced exercisers, but the choreography is fairly basic and you will definately feel this the next day.
    There are three workouts that combine toning and aerobics together which are about a half an hour each. This way, you’re burning fat and toning muscles at the same time. It’s a little challenging, but fun and effective. The first workout is the easiest of the three and from there it gets more challenging. The most challenging workout is tough like she shows on The Biggest Loser (ie travelling pushups and tough jumps etc). It’s a good idea if you’re intermediate to begin either at the start or middle and stick to that for a while and then move on. Each workout uses toning, kickboxing and ab work.
    I found this really good to do. It’s absolutely a good idea to not go too quickly with it and begin at the lower of the three levels even if you do it only a couple of times – you can always advance as soon as you’re ready for your next workout. She may not be the best cuer, but she is certainly encouraging and motivating. This is fun and I highly recommend it. I’ve only done it twice so far since it’s so new, but I can still feel my muscles thanking me. This is great.

    Ok, if you’re like me (overweight and unmotivated) and watch The Biggest Loser and wish you could be one of the contestants and have Jillian train you then you’re in luck! Buy this DVD! I just received the dvd today and did the First Level today. It’s been 2 and 1/2 hours since I finished and I’m still shaking and finding it hard to go up and down stairs. I can’t even imagine what she puts those poor contestants through..LOL!

    I have knee pains and feet pains and usually just walk at 3mph on my treadmill. Well, suffice to say I’m not seeing any weight loss. And let me be honest the real reason I have knee and feet problems is because I weigh too much. So I did the full on jumping jacks..no modified jumping jacks in this workout…Jillian tells you straight, she has 400lb people doing full jumping jacks, you can too! And she was right. I sure as heck can’t really do the push ups but I’m sure that I will be able to eventually if I keep doing this dvd everyday for 20 minutes.

    And she’s right, you can’t do a workout for 20 minutes and expect it to be easy…you want easy, don’t get this dvd. You want to sweat and really workout get this dvd!

    I’m 5′4” and 168 lbs. I will let you know my progress in my comments as time goes on. Good luck to everyone!

    Great Video
    This is a good video to help you get in shape. I was new to regular exercise, but this video really helped me get in shape.

    The best choice I ever made!
    I am not an excerciser at all. When I decided to finally start getting in shape I did my research and finally bought 30 day shred. It has been the best investment of my life!

    If you want to get sweaty…
    The 30 day shred makes me sweat! After a month, I am currently on level 2. I was hesitant to get there because of the impact level 1 had on my bad knees, and the fact that I was…

    Jillian kicks my butt- literally!
    With two small children, trying to get this postpartum 30 lbs off has been impossible. Neither will let me complete a 45 minute workout video.

    Great Workout!
    I’ve used exercise DVDs in the past and haven’t had good luck with them. When I saw that a few friends of mine were doing the 30 Day Shred, I figured I’d give it a try.
