Jillian Michaels DVDs

athlete010688 · January 2012

Hi - I'm going to purchase some of the Jillian Michaels DVDs. Right now I'm thinking about 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30. I'll get another one, but not sure which one yet. On Amazon, I see that there are various years for these dvds. Does anyone notice a major difference between the older (2009 and 2010 versions) compared to the 2011 versions? Since the 2009/2010 versions are cheaper, I could get more DVDs. Thanks!

I think you could go with the older DVDs and get more bang for your buck.

I just got it this week from Amazon the 30 day shred for 5 or 6 dollars can't remember, but not sure what year it is from - I could check when I get home. I found it great, I've only done 3 days so far but I feel it in my whole body and so does FI and he is a hockey player...

Thanks. I was looking on Amazon, and I found that the earlier years (2009 and 2010) were only like 5 or 6 dollars! I was excited because I didn't want to spend a fortune on workout videos.

Ladies! I just got the 30 day shred and Trouble Zones/spots ..can't remember exactly- but my wedding is almost 30 days away and need help with the last 10 lbs! Hope it works!! Come back and post your progress week by week if possible so we can compare. I''ve heard really good things and I'd rather work out at home!! Good luck to everyone!

Hi everyone! I just found this board this morning, and wanted to drop in and give you all a bit of encouragement!

I had a baby in August 2010, and by the summer of 2011 I was tired of being lazy and squishy. I stuck to a 1200-1500 calorie diet [nothing too strict, if I wanted something unhealthy I ate it in moderation, kept track of my calories, and made sure the rest of the day was healthy!] I just tracked my calories on My Fitness Pal, and drank lots and lots of water!!

I completed the 30 day shred in exactly 30 days, I lost almost 20 pounds and 12-14 inches overall. I hate Jillian Michaels, but she gets results!

I just restarted the shred a few days ago after gaining back almost 10 pounds since last summer. I just wanted to let you ladies know that it's a killer workout, and it gets killer results!!!

I LOVE Jillian's workout dvds! I first purchased the 30 Day Shred and really, really enjoyed it. It's such an amazing workout and don't give up bc the first couple times you do it it will be difficult because of the muscle & cardio combos.

Next I purchased the Trouble Zones dvd - another great workout but this one I get a little bored with as there is only 1 40 some minute workout on it so not much room for options. Still a really great workout but I only do this one once a week.

Next I bought what my FI & I call the "Kick in the Ass Workout." This is the Killer Buns & Thighs dvd. There are three different workouts ranging from Level 1 to Level 3. Level 1 is where you begin but as Jillian states herself, her beginners workouts are not truly for beginners.

I also wanted to say my FI, who plays at least 2 high level soccer games a week and is a marathon runner, enjoys these workouts and finds them as challenging as I do! We alternate between the dvds and I try to get in at least 4 of the 30 Day Shred workouts each week.

They're hard but I absolutely love how much variety there is in these workouts and you can definitely see results after just a few days. We often find ourselves swearing at Jillian because she pushes you so hard! She just came out with another dvd that I'm going to pick up soon because it looks insanely hard - but in a good way!

Keep it up ladies - hard work goes a long way!!!

I yell and swear at Jillian too :) I hate her soooo much!! What is her new DVD? I hate her so much that I want to check it out! lol

kekr0202 · January 2012

It's called Extreme Shed & Shred. It seriously looks like it'll make me puke. The FI & I did one of the Killer Buns & Thighs this morning and I felt sick after. We joke about our abusive relationship with Jillian. Glad to hear someone else uses explicatives too!

Here's a preview of the new dvd:

That sounds fuuuun (extreme sarcasm there lol). Everyone who has experienced my workouts thinks its hilarious, I tend to attract an audience with my commentary. Hmm, maybe if I stopped talking I would be able to breathe!! I hate how she "encourages" us to push harder, while she's wandering around and standing still lol

starbritte1 · January 2012

How long are the 30 day shred workouts? Are they 30, 40, 50 or 60 minute workouts? Also what type of equipment would I need to purchase inorder to do the workouts (step, weights etc)?

Thanks

I think this all the time when I'm "Shredding"! And has anyone else noticed that Natalie in 30DS cheats a little? This stuff is hard! Lol.

I LOVE 30DS and Jillian Michaels. I never complete a full 30 days straight (been on and off for 3yrs), so that's my goal right now. I'm on Day 2 after a 2 week hiatus. I think I'll treat myself to another Jillian DVD once I finally complete this 30 day period (I mean it this time, I'm gonna do it!).

Thanks everyone for the motivation & suggestions, keep 'em coming!
