Pamela H in Texas Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I just wanted to let people know about this video. As many have known, I've always been loyal the BeachBody products. However, I just HAD to have The 30 Pound Shred with Jillian Michaels (of the Biggest Loser). My daughter and I just did the exercise and it's AWESOME (and HARD)...And she doesn't put up with any excuses. Anyway, you can find it for $8 something online and I got it at walmart for $9! It has 3 levels. Good stuff :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedarmom Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 If you have Netflix, there are some of her DVD's on the watch it now section. Awesome workout, but man will you feel it the next day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuckabella Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm intrigued... How long are the workouts??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckabella Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Also, do you need any special equipment (free weights, etc)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyGrace Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'd love to get it all over with in 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The folks at Sparkpeople *rave* about this workout. I'm a little scared, though... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn E Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 It is awesome. She alternates between cardio, strength and abs. The only things needed are a mat if your workout surface is hard and hand weights. Starts with a warm-up, ends with a cool-down...all in 20 mins. I was SO out of shape when I began I only made it through 5 mins. :D I was able to do the whole thing within a few days though. I need to get it back out...have been negligent of late. ETA: and by whole thing I mean the initial workout. Yes, I was that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 If you have Netflix, there are some of her DVD's on the watch it now section. Awesome workout, but man will you feel it the next day! and even the next day after that! I only did level 1 this past thursday and it's sunday and I'm still sore. so far I like it, but I am so not ready for the next levels though. 20 minutes is great for me because that's all the time I get from my 2 month old.

Pamela H in Texas Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 You'll want weights of some sort (water bottles would work for level 1). It has cardio, strength and abs. 3 circuits of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm a little scared, though... LOL For good reason! LOL Seriously, she is TOUGH. Like on the jumping jacks, she said, "if you want an alternative to jumping jacks, look somewhere else. I have 400 pound people that can do them." LOL I had a tough time making it through that first level and I exercise fairly regularly (though I'm not particularly good at cardio). I think it's gonna take me longer than 30 days to make it through all 3 levels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 LOL! That's good! I love her on The Biggest Loser...takes no crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom26 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 FYI: You can go to collagevideo.com and actually watch a clip of the video to get a feel for it. The 20 minutes sounds great but I was a little disappointed with the immodest exercise attire...with hormonal boys in the house, I want to be careful and my one dd was looking over my shoulder as I watched the clip and said, "Mommy, they are immodest". Maybe I can get it and I will be motivated to get up earlier so that i can be done before they all come downstairs?!;) Anyone know of a 20 minute workout that delivers but with modest exercise attire??:001_huh: Blessings, kathi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I just did this workout. It's free with Comcast if you have On Demand, btw! What a GREAT workout!!! I run 5 days/week (when the weather is good - having a hard time this month!) and I'm in pretty good shape. But, this was HARD!!! I'm going to do this when I can't get out and run. Thanks for the recommendation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 The 2nd day (2 days later cuz I could barely walk the next day! LOL) was much better and I am not nearly as sore as after that first day. DS just asked when we're doing it today. Have to wait for dd to get back from college at least.

mom26 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I did level one today also! I went ahead and bought it at Kmart for $9.99...and I got up before little eyes were watching so added motivation;) I must say that in spite of my preference for more clothing their abs sure are sleek! After skiing all day yesterday and this today, i may not be moving too well tomorrow. Definitely a great workout in just 20 minutes!

mom26 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Thanks for this, kathi. How about the Leslie Sansone dvds? Yes, I have her 4 fast miles...you are right much more modest but not as intense a workout. This is a 2 disc set and there is a '1 mile jog' on disc two which is a bit more intense and about 17 minutes which is great. THanks for replying!!

Penelope Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I love it, too! I can do level 3 but only if I pause in the middle to, uh... help the kids. Yeah, they really need me, exactly 10 minutes into it. Every time, LOL. It's a kick butt workout and I love that it is 20 minutes because that is all I can do at once with the littles around.
