Jillian Michaels: Ripped in 30 [DVD]

I like that there are two assistants. One showing beginners what to do and the other for more advanced people. There is a meal plan included and you don't have to eat the same food everyday. Each week the workout is different so you won't get bored.

This is by far a really hard work out, but good. It works, but feel so depleted afterwards. Worth it though. Week one is tough, can't imagine what week two will be like! Getting used to it though so time will tell! You won't get results unless you work hard, this is obvious. Jillian keeps you motivated and has me laughing at times. Just keep in mind you can do this, it's tough, but you can! If I can, anyone can!! Don't give up!

Wow, she is tough but well worth it. You get a serious workout!

Jillian continues to work your tail off. She used some of the same routines as in her other DVDs but she also mixes it up with new stuff. I mix this DVD in with some others I have of hers.

Jillian does it again!! This DVD is filled with four workouts, a new workout every week to get you into shape! Its a great workout. The only thing Im not in love with is that Jillian does repeat any of the exercises so that forced her to get pretty creative with some moves, I'd rather just repeat a good move.

I am 5'6", 125 lbs, active. I have DEFINATELY toned up since using this DVD- even gained some muscle mass! Usually I do the "advanced moves" on work out videos. With Ripped in 30, I am doing the regular or some of the easy modifications! This is definately doable for somebody with less skill than I AND a video that you can keep using and grow with for a long time. I am doing each "week" on the video for 2 weeks to streatch this out for 60 days. I use it 3 days a week and fill in wthe Jillian's "shred it with weights" kettlebell DVD (also great). I have recommended this to friends and family. Great Job Jillian!

I came off of Jillian's 6 week 6 pack DVD and went into this one for some variety. It has proven very effective. I've not only toned, but I've also felt stronger just as I have with her other DVD's I own. It doesn't matter which workout of hers I follow, as long as I am consistent and workout with her 5 times a week, I see results. More importantly, I'm seeing results in areas that other workouts are not providing me. I'm into week 3 of this DVD and I continue trying to keep up with her. I feel great after her workouts and with them only taking 20 minutes there is no excuse as to why I can't get a good, effective workout every morning. As usual, with Jillian, some of her moves are quite challenging and unique but I think it keeps it interesting and provides incentive to work harder to match up the advanced level. This is a great purchase for a good price and a highly effective workout.

Jillian rocks. If you're not in decent shape, I would recommend staying at Week 1. And even that's a challenge. I just started Week 3 and I'm loving it. I'm getting stronger and my cardio is much better. Jillian is a bit tough but I really enjoy working out with her. Someone said that she repeats exercises. No, she doesn't. They're similar but none of them are the same. They're only the same if you're not doing them properly. In 2 weeks I've lost 7 pounds and 4 inches. I'm eating a lot better too. She says right in the beginning, "You can eat your way through any amount of exercise." If you're not willing to change your eating habits, you're gonna be disappointed with your results. I work out with her Monday thru Friday and I do 30 minutes of Yoga on Saturday and Sunday I'm gonna do Weeks 1 - 4 and then I'm gonna stagger Week 5 like this: Workout 1, Workout 2, Workout 3, Workout 4, Workout 1. And then Week 6 will be: Workout 4, Workout 3, Workout 2, Workout 1, Workout 4. Once that's done, then I'll have worked out a full 30 days with her. 6 weeks times 5 workouts equals 30 workouts. I was gonna spend 100 and something bucks on Insanity (and I still might) but this is a great way for me to get warmed up and prepared for it. You don't have to spend 100 bucks when you can get this workout for 10 bucks. I'm just saying.

I gave it only 4 stars because I've only done Week 1 so far. But I like the results and glad I can keep up with no injuries, as I haven't been exercising regularly for quite a while. I get a little tired of some of Jillian's comments like "get some" but that's just me. That's why she makes sure nothing gets too repetitive. Looking forward to starting Week 2.

I'm on week two. The first few days my body was sore. You will definitely work up a good sweat. I think it totally depends on the type of body you start out with if you get ripped in 30 days. I'm giving myself 90 days. Great purchase just don't give up.
