Review: Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD

Got 25 minutes? Spend it ’shredding’.

Most of us excuse ourselves from having a regular exercise regimen because of our busy schedule. But if you really want to establish a workable routine that will fit into your daily activities, then a short exercise video would be the easiest solution. Let’s look at a particular video – Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred (Amazon affiliate link) ”

There are so many short exercise videos out there, specifically because trainers already know you’re busy and they want to give you no excuse not to work out. There’s that important question, though, of how effective a short exercise video can be.
The Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels leads the workout in this video. It features workouts that are around 25 minutes long. It surely sounds like a short time but when you do it for the first few times, especially if you haven’t been working out for a long period of time, you’ll surely feel like you did an hour and a half’s worth of exercise.

• The effectiveness of this workout comes from the intensity, not the amount of time you spend doing it.
• You will have no chance of resting in between the routines. It is designed to move you to the next routine right after a previous one.
• Jillian stresses in the video that it’s better to really work your body in a shorter amount of time than spend hours faking it at the gym.

There are three parts to a work out. Every part is made of 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio and one minute abdominal exercises. The workouts involve movements that require larger muscles and more muscles at the same time. This adds to the intensity and fat burn.

DVD is designed to take you through 30 days of workouts with progressing intensity.
• You spend the first ten days following Level 1.
• The next ten days will have you perform Level 2 and the last ten days will see you through Level 3.
• People who qualify themselves as intermediate exercisers or advanced exercisers might want to skip Level 1.
• However, it will do everybody good to start with Level 1. After all, you will not find the intensity of the workouts in Level 1 disappointing.

Jillian Michaels provides really great motivation. For most of the exercises, there are equivalent beginner moves so that you can still perform them if you’re a beginner. The difference for beginner moves is that there is a shorter range of motion. The workouts are doable but they are definitely not easy, enough to challenge you and shred your fats day by day.

After this short workout, you will definitely feel that you spent 25 minutes of your day wisely. In that short amount of time, which is easy to squeeze into your morning routine before going to the office or your evening routine after coming home from work, you will have worked your muscles enough to shred those pounds and shape your body into a healthy new form.
