Lions Gate - 30 Day Shred [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC]

I am a stay at home mother of a one year old. I do not have time to go to a gym, and I do not have anyone to watch my little one even if I could make it to a gym. I have to work out at home due to this. I was using P90X as my daily work out routine. However, my one year old does not take naps very well and so working out 90+ minutes a day is out of the question. My friend, who is a personal trainer and nutritionist, told me about this video. She said when she was in college and could not make it to the gym this is the video she used at home. I love this video!! It is only 20 minute work outs, and I have seen drastic results already! Far more results than I saw with P90X! And this video is WAYYYYYY cheaper than P90X! I definitely recommend this work out to anyone and everyone!! Jillian Michaels may be tough, but she gets results for everyone.. even if you're not on The Biggest Loser!

I started the 30-Day Shred four days ago and I've already lost three pounds, of course that includes just a slight change in my diet. I'm still eating everything I like, just less of it. And I'm drinking water instead of soda. The first time I worked out with it, it was pure torture. I was beyond sore and it hurt my thighs to even sit down. But I knew that just because I was sore, I had no excuse to stop. So I continued to do it. I'm only on day five and I'm already seeing a dramatic change in my energy and endurance levels. I'm excited for my workouts now and sometimes I do it twice. This DVD is a great buy if you're willing to go through a little bit of pain to get great results. I definitely recommend it!

I am turning 30 this year & want to have a fresh, healthy start. I like Jilian in the aspect that she is more of a rough & tumble type of person, nothing fragile about her & she pushes the limits. I had a co-worker that used this dvd & had wonderful results. Why not give it a try myself, after reading the other reviews, it looked as though others were having good results too. I am only 1 week into the workout & can feel a change on the inside. On day 2 it was a little rough & day 3 --- oh my the sore muscles! But I would refer this product to anybody interested - I am literally going from couch potato to a healthier lifestyle with the help of this workout. Give it a try! I'm very satisfied so far.

I have never watched the biggest loser or seen Jillian on any show so I didn't have any preconceived notions about what to expect. I assumed that she was very good and she is. Her straight-forward, no-nonsense approach is very comforting when you are struggling to maintain the moves that she asks of you. I love it when she says "You can do this move! I have 400 lb people doing this move and they do it just fine" or something to that effect. It reminds that I can push myself because a if a 400 lb person can do this, so can I...lol

Finally! A workout that produces results. I am 57 yrs young and needed a workout that would help with the tummy and strengthening. With a combination of cardio, strength and core work after 2 days I finally felt muscles that haven't been used in awhile. I have more energy and will stick with Jillian for the next 30 days.

For a 20 minute workout, this is definitely worth the $9. She uses lots of different exercises to make sure you use every muscle possible. When you start each level, it is tough at first, but the more you do each one, the easier it becomes to keep up and to do the exercises at the advanced level. I like the mix of strength and cardio. Makes me feel stronger and like an athlete again.

This is an amazing work out video! You will have muscles burning that you never knew existed!! half way through you start thinking.. "I must be insane what was I thinking getting this video?!" That's what I thought...Now after finishing the 1st workout I know I can do it again only better!! This video is definitely for the type of people who can never work up a sweat during workouts [trust me you will] and for the people out there who think they will never lose weight. [Trust me you will!] I haven't lost weight yet but I know if I keep doing these 20 minute workouts everyday I will see progress and you will to! Good hint: A lot of confidence is required. 10 minutes through you may want to give up #I know I wanted to# Just push through it.

Jillian is a Great Trainer of course and her Workouts will leave you knowing that you've accomplished something unlike some workout DVDs that I've used in the past... I'm just a beginner and I haven't been using it for very long but I feel that it's working because of how I feel afterwards... There are some exercises that I can't do correctly because I have a stiff wrist and an injured knee but I still try to do them because I'm hoping it will strengthen them...

The exercises overall were not hard to do; doing them for several minutes creates that challenge and the burn. I recommend starting with very low weights in your hands and working up to higher weights. In fact, don't even use hand weights with the squats and lunges unless your legs are in good shape. This program uses easy exercises; it will give you a good workout and improve your fitness level. Repetition is the key here; exercises are repeated for 1, 2 or 3 minutes. Each exercise set it not very complex. If you're not feeling sufficiently fatigued or challenged, use heavier weights or do longer sets (more reps).

I was expecting something a little more intense, but I'm still in level one so maybe it will get better. I do get annoyed that you have to sit through Jillian's speech at the beginning; in fact, her talking gets annoying throughout the whole video, but it's a pretty good workout so I guess I can deal. The moves are nothing new, you're actually doing typical exercises (jumping jacks, pushups, squats), but it makes sure that you cover all bases. Overall pretty good video for a pretty low price.
