Does it Work? - Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred?

I'm thinking about getting the 30 Day Shred DVD but want to know if any of you have tried it. What are your likes and dislikes of this workout?

Likes---it works! You see a significant difference after 7 days alone.

Dislikes- Im a person that likes to see the scale drop and for whatever reason, on 30DS I lose absolutely no weight, I even showed a weight gain the first week, which is depressing but I can assure you, inches do come off.

Challenges- it is virtually impossible to stick with the program 30 days. Im not saying it cant be done but it takes an extreme amount of dedication and after day 2 of doing it, your body hurts in places you never imagined and your simple little tooth brush feels like a 10 pounds weight, lol.

All in all, I was able to stick with 30DS for 20 days, not 20 days straight, 20 fluctuating days and did lose inches. One of the girls in my forum just did 30 days straight and the results were amazing, her name is BurgundyRayne, try to look her up in the mini goal photo album, it speaks for itself.

Good luck!

I like it - it is only 27 minutes long and I can fit it in anytime with little to no excuses.

It is very intense, I only do it every other day. The moves are easy and don't take much coordination (not my strong suit!). Very sweaty, very intense - my heartrate monitor said I burned 267 calories in those short 27 min!

I only weigh and measure once a month - have been doing it for 2 weeks and I don't weigh til November 1st so I can't tell you what the weight gain or inches lost is yet.

There is actually a long thread of 30DS users in the exercise video forum

I have it and think it is a really good video and would recommend it.
