  • Very Interesting. I have Jillian's 30 Day shred.... I should open it on days I don't go to the gym!
  • I'm a big fan of the 10 minute solution DVDs. I add a couple of segments throughout the day along with a regular cardio workout. It feels more manageable grabbing 10 minutes between other things. Currently Amazon has a few of them on sale for $8.49 if anyone is looking to try one out.
  • I chose TONIQUE and there is possibility (I emailed her) IN Jan there is new Tonique coming ...2 hours
  • I'm excited/ scared to start the 30 day shred tomorrow. Picked it up at target for around 8 bucks.
  • I have heard good things about the 30 day shred, I can't wait to hear what you think.
  • You know where my heart is... Jazzercise Dancing Abs and Jazzercise Core are both great DVDs.

    As far as Jillian Michaels goes, she is mighty tough for a beginner. Her warm up routine is, "RUN!!! PICK UP THOSE KNEES!!!" Just a warning...
  • I did Tonique yesterday and I can hardly sit on the toilet it is best workout i just read on another block she has a new dvd coming...i also do her workout on exercise tv for FREE!!!!
  • i did Tracy Anderson and the new Tonique 2...my legs and butt are on fire
