great workout, but be careful if you are injury prone |
|
Great workout in a short amount of time! I am only about 15 pounds overweight and I wanted to lose a few pounds and tone up. However, after doing level one for a week, I developed bicep tendonitis in my left (weaker) arm from all the pushups. I looked ahead to level 2 and 3 hoping to find exercises I could use to replace the pushups, but I saw more pushups and exercises in that same position. I guess I will rest the arm for a few weeks and look for some exercises to subsitute for some of the pushups so that I can do the rest of the video. Also, be very careful with your knees on all of the lunges and squats. |

Amazing results in no time! |
I credit this DVD with changing my body from "good" shape to amazing shape. I have been exercising 4-5 days a week for about 8 years, and added this DVD to my routine in November of 2009. Total transformation. My arms, legs and abs are cut and defined now, more-so than they ever have been. Combined with some diet changes, I have lost 10 pounds since starting this DVD, and that was with a pretty good baseline of fitness. I do this DVD 2 times a week, doing other types of exercise the other 2-3 times a week (yoga, strength, cardio). I also have BFBM and NMTZ, but I do them much less often than Shred. After I started Shred, my other workouts starting feeling easier. I never would have thought that a 20 minute workout could be so effective. You can definitely start with a lower weight (2-3 lbs) and work your way up to higher weights. I still use 2 lbs for some of the moves because they are so challenging. Level 1 is a great place to start, but it will feel easy in no time! Levels 2 and 3 are, in my opinion, equally challenging, and I would venture to say that Level 2 is actually the most difficult. Level 2 incorporates quite a few moves in Plank Pose, which is killer!
I appreciate Jillian's no-excuses attitude. If you know anything about Jillian you should expect her to be hard on you. I find her sarcasm and tough attitude in the DVD to be motivating and fun!
I would not hesitate to purchase this DVD. You will not be disappointed. I wouldn't use it as my only form of exercise, but I would highly recommend having it around for those days when you need a quick, highly effective workout that you don't have to plan out yourself.
Get ready to sweat!

A REAL WORKOUT FOR REAL PEOPLE |
|
I purchased this DVD about 2 1/2 weeks ago and I can already see the results. I am not one of those exercise obsessed people who can or want to work out every day. I use this DVD 4 times a week along with a moderate diet. It is easy to follow - no crazy moves that require me to re wind just to follow the routine. The three different work outs make it easy to stay engaged in the whole exercise regime. I have a tendency to become bored in a few days and Jillian has kept me motivated and engaged. It is short enough so that you don't dread working out and intense enough so that the 20 + minutes make a difference in a short time. This is a great video for someone who wants to get back in shape for the warm weather. |

Good workout, wish had more variety |
|
I've done this DVD 3 times so far but I can't seem to do it two days in a row because of how SORE it makes me.... I guess that means it's doing it's job? It does get your heart rate up and Jillian is not nearly as annoying as a lot of the other trainers out there, so I'm happy with my purchase. I wish it had more than one workout per level, but once you're comfortable with the work-out you can put some music on to drown out all the dailogue so that you don't have to hear Jillian say the same things over and over again. |

Quite the workout, but hard on the knees and wrists! |
I would consider myself new to working out and to cardio especially. I have been doing mostly weight training for the last 6 months or so, and I realized I needed to do a lot more cardio if I wanted to lose more weight, so I gave this a go.
Very hard for beginners or overweight people. I had to stop and rest a number of times, and this was just on level one. Haven't even made it to level 2 yet. She relies on lots of jumpy movements (jumping jacks, jump squats, etc) and by the end of the workout on day 3, my knees and wrists needed a break. Very hard on the joints unless you have a very thick mat underneath.
If you don't have a problem with joints, this will certainly get you sweating! |
