I can't remember if I was one of the ones who posted about the 30-Day Shred, but lord YES it kicked my ass. I also got all "pffft, I'm not in great shape, but I'm in better shape than LEVEL ONE," and almost died as a result of it. I actually watched the workouts before I did them, then set up this ridiculous schedule where I was going to do TWO of them every other night (you know, since one would be NOT ENOUGH WORKOUT) and about barfed when I tried it. Humility: 1 Self-perceived Fitness Level: 0 I am afraid of Level 3. Hey, know who else will kick your ass? Jari Love. Look for her Get Ripped 1000 for a combo of great weightlifting moves and cardio. All you really need is a set of free weights, 3-12 lbs. Love her. Just a suggestion, if you want to branch out from JM. Haaa!

I bought the shred dvd last week based on comments here. I did the workout last Thursday. (Figuring, hey, I'm in pretty good shape? Level 2 sounds good. BAH.) Today is Monday - I am STILL SORE. The weekend was especially rough. I may have shed a tear with the realization that yes, I actually have to SIT DOWN to pee. I considered just ending it by throwing myself down the stairs rather than having to painfully edge my way down, clinging for dear life to the handrail. When she says to start with Level 1? That's not meant ironically. I’m so glad you talked about this… I bought the shred dvd last week based on comments here. I did the workout last Thursday. (Figuring, hey, I’m in pretty good shape?

Terrified! It was so nice reading your site, and I will miss it after I die when I try that workout. Peace out.

I found out just how much she will kick your ass. But my body has definite improvements and more definition. She also has videos called Frontside/Backside. Those will also hurt you...and then make you come back for more! Yes, I foolishly skipped ahead to Level 2 when I first started Jillian Michael’s…thinking how hard could 20 min be?

I am far from in shape, but I like to think that I'm safe to try level 1. Holy shit! Die, just die is all I can say. I feel so much better hearing other people say that she's trying to kill them also, I thought it was just me. Jumpingjacks. It sounds easy enough. Fuck jumpingjacks, I hate them, I hope they die a painful slow death like they're doing to me. My thighs hurt so much that when I go to sit on the toilet I don't so much sit as fall cuz my thighs have been SHREDDED. Anyway, good times. I can handle the pain, sort of, but the 1 hour of nausea after the workout really sucks. I decided to buy the JM Shred dvd and start working out.

Not that I've kept up with my 1990's Billy Blanks DVDs, but that's not the point. :) OMG. Havent seen the movie, but listening to that music got my heart going. It's gorgeous, although maybe not so much when you are running alone in the dark. Totally want the JM DVD now. Not that I’ve kept up with my 1990’s Billy Blanks DVDs, but that’s not the point. :)

Seriously I've never seen so much "sinew" in my life.
