sorry to bump this thread but thankyou for posting the link!
i'm downloading part two now..

does anyone else think jillian is really cute? i mean, shes not quite a looker but shes just sweet!

i cant wait to try this...
my only issue is i dont want bulky leg muscles, grosss... and i dont want to put on kgs (even if it is muscle fat) it gets kind of depressing!!

I LOVE this workout.
It's so effective for 20 minutes.
I usually do level 1 and level 2 together; I'm gonna up the ante to level 2 and level 3 together.
First time I did it, I wasn't really sore, but I seriously thought I was gonna puke. crazy.gif
I have to admit, she's not ask perky as Charlene from TurboJam but she's a really good motivator, and explains everything clearly - she tells you what you're working out and what it does. It's kind of scientific lols.

Her other workouts are really good too; she has 2 new ones. One's called Burn Fat Boost Metabolism and the other one is No More Trouble Zones. They're longer - the first is 40 minutes and the second is almost an hour.
But they're really good if you have more time - she seriously works out every muscle in your body.
Burn Fat Boost Metabolism is alot of cardio whereas No More Trouble Zones is more toning - you use weights in this one.

I usually rotate these in with TurboJam, but I think Jillian Michaels' videos are more effective. vicx.gif

Yeah, some of the TurboJam workouts can get pretty intense.
But I say Jillian Michaels' videos are more effective because they work you out more in a shorter period of time.

I just finished Burn Fat Boost Metabolism like an hour ago; and I tried not to rest at all in between circuits - summer's almost here, so it means I have to raise the bar on my workouts.
I seriously though I was going to puke... It was so hardcore.
I was sweating so much - when I was in the plank position for the workout, sweat was dripping onto my yoga mat like rain lolss.
Feels good though (:
-innocence-
has anyone tried the Jillian Michaels game on the Wii? if so, how is it?

I'm tired with all these gimmicks coming out for losing weight. It's not hard to lose weight, all it takes is dedication. What works hasn't changed one bit. All you have to do is RUN and RUN and RUN some more. You can also do circuit training, which is all for toning. Circuit training workout only takes up 15 minutes a day and you see quick results if you actually push yourself.

do 5 cycles of 3 minute intervals of pushups, situps, chinups, or squats. Between each interval do a 200m lap as fast as you can. You will be bagged after 15 minutes and hurting if you do it right.

running works just as great:

I did a 21k run today for a charity event. It was brutal and I've never done anything like it before, but it's doable on a no training. I haven't trained for it and have only done 2 runs before I ran this and this was over the last 2 months.

All these ways to lose weight that people are coming up with are things that already exist, and they're just capitalizing on you guys.


Although I do like to run, I prefer not to because it's so sunny where I live and I don't wanna get tan. Even with SPF 60 you'll tan because sweat will make even waterproof sunscreen drip off. And your circuit training is good for people who are actually over weight and for guys. For girls who are normal weight and want to be skinny and slim, it'll make them bulk up too much.

For slimming, I find doing Jillian's level 1 (without any weights, the movements alone are good enough, weights will make you bulky) and doing 20 minutes of pilates or yoga right afterwards, don't bother doing Jillian's cooldown because pilates/yoga will cool you down too. Pilates elongates and slims your muscles so you can burn fat but not just bulky. After that, do a good 10-15 minute stretch. Stretching is essential for preventing bulking up and sore muscles.

I love Jillian Michaels. I tried to get into Turbo Jam, but eh. Way too long, and I'm the kind of person who is always on the go. I need a workout that is always on the GO as well...hahaha.

i have downloaded this and burn this onto a disc. I'm really hoping i can really shred some pounds off over summer because i'm free.
child2child
omgosh thanks so much! I keep telling myself to try it out but I never really got to buying it. but now the excuse of spending more money on workout stuff can't hold me back anymore. LOL i don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. but yeah thanks so much! smile.gif

Haven't tried Fat Blaster yet. Name sounds pretty odd. lol Love ab jam though! =D I have cardio party mix 1 + 2.

Started using Jillian Michael's vid a couple of days ago and she was killing me on level 1!! It's really effective though. Love how she motivates. She has such a strong personality (plus voice) and I love it. ^^

My problem is that I have to stretch A LOT after level one 'cause since level 1 requires a lot of weigh lifting, I can't afford getting bulky. It terrifies me. It's working though =). My arms are thin, a bit "chiseled"(eh), but it's nothing I can't handle.


Getting these vids replaced a lot of my running time. (I can't complain about that, now can I?) ^^ At most, I run like 2 hours a day now? Before it was around 3-4 hours.

thanks for uploading. i'm super bored this summer!

Which program should i use to open this?
cuz I can't open it with windows media player O_O
blu3bubbl3
for those having trouble opening/playing the vid: you have to merge all the parts, using Split&Concat (for mac, i don't know what you'd use for Windows.. sorry =/). you can dl it for free here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~loekjehe/Split&Concat/

Started my first day and I actually did Level 1&2 together. I could barely walk afterwards.. I was wobbling and I felt like my legs were gonna give out. Hahah. I'm still tired and my arms and legs are still a bit sore but a good workout. smile.gif I think i'll go 3 and then 2 tomorrow or something. I didn't wanna just do 1 cause 20 mins seems so short.

Downloading right now smile.gif Thanks for sharing!

Really? The file plays fine on my Windows Media Player. If you don't want to download another program to play it, what did the error code say? You're probably missing a codec in order to play it, but the More Info button when the error thing that comes up when you try to play it should tell you which one you need to download(just google a download of the name of the missing codec that it gives you). It should work after that, but if all fails you can try out VLC Player like Meenuh suggested.

Yeah I tried using Windows Media Player and it said I was missing a codec so I just used VLC and it worked. I was wayy too lazy to google what I needed to do. Lol.

i started doing it yesterday (lvl 1) and i loved it! i thought i would be dying cuz i hadn't worked out in any shape or form for like months but it wasn't too bad, i was following the more advanced person too. overall i thought it was a really good workout, i got a good sweat and a little sore. i liked how she was more a boot camp type of trainer, that definitely helped, for me anyway.
QueenofLeaves
people this workout is tough! wink.gif

emceej
has anyone gotten any drastic results? like 10 pounds in a month or something? because i've seen a lot of complaints about their knees hurting and i don't really want to cause any pain in my knee. i rather have my back hurt rather than my knee D:
prechuz_azn
I just downloaded this and I am so excited.
I really hope I lose the 18 or so pounds I've been dying to lose!

Does anybody incorporate Turbo Jam along with this video?
Would that be a good idea?

Also, How exactly does this "30 days shred" work?


Since its 3 levels, does that mean that you work on one level per week?
Or do I switch around the levels?

You can buy this dvd on Amazon for like $8.
It's really cheap. It's a pretty tough workout especially considering it's 20 minutes,
and you really have to push yourself during that time to get dramatic results.
sunnydayysx3
Can you get get a smaller waist doing this?
teeny
has anyone actual stuck with this for awhile and saw results? i tried it a couple days ago and i was so sore afterwards, which amazed me cause it was only 20 minutes!

I've done it for 5 days now. I was supposed to do it yesterday but my heart beat was irregular the whole day so my bf urged me not to. I've been doing 2 lvls at a time instead of the normal 1 though. I alternated like 1-2, 1-3,1-2,1-3 and so forth. After 10 days of that I planned to go 2-1,2-3,2-1 etc... and then go on to 3-1,3-2.. etc. You get my point but after doing that for 5 days my weight is still pretty much the same BUT I have gotten thinner. I'm assuming that i'm losing fat ( I have a lot of it lol ). I think it's working though. Guess I gotta just stick with it and see the results. happy.gif

OMGAH. Good for you. ^____^ I wanna look thinnner. xD Haha.

Wait, would the only way to lose fat is to do two levels at a time? o______0

Hhaha noo you don't have to do 2 lvls at a time. It's originally only supposed to be 1 but I decided to do 2. This workout is designed to make you lose weight with just 20 mins of workout but you really have to give it your all since the workout is only 20 minutes and you can't stop at all. I just decided to do 2 lvls on my own.

Gah, I gave it my all. >___< i just finished doing it and I'm sweating more than I did when I did turbo jam. xD
I didn't know you needed weights. .____. So all I used was two glue bottles. ROFL.
But man, that was a good workout. ;D I hope I'll be able to see some results when i do it everyday. ^_______^

My cousin said that, you have to lose fat before you lose weight?
I don't know. But I think you won't lose weight until you lose fat. xD
Haha. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. (:

the reason reason you don't lose weight is because you're building
muscle at the same time, which weighs more then fat smile.gif
So that is why you look thinner but don't weigh less.
