 Do not like the format March 12, 2010
SKJ (CT)
Really like the workout and really like Jillian...except I have to wait 10 minutes to get through the intro before starting the workout. It won't let me skip; stupid format
 Excellent program to train at home March 12, 2010

I highly recommend this dvd. It is worthy. I like it because the exercises are very simple and easy to follow. There are two other girls beside the instructor and you can follow either of them, depending if you are beginner or advanced.
Just beware!!! If you think you are advanced but haven't train regularly, watch out with the beginning. I have to say the first time I did the training sesion 1, I consider myself as a person that do exercise regularly but after that sesion, the next day my whole body ached hahaha. That is why just take it slow and build the strength little by little. For the rest, Im very happy with the product.
The only thing I would improve is the warm-up which I consider too short, but what I do, it is just to stop the video and make the warming-up exercise for a bit longer and then it is ok.
Great way to Exercise in 20 minutes!!! March 12, 2010

I really enjoy this video. Jillian MIchaels is tough, but I figure that I can handle it for 20 minutes. I love that she does strength, cardio and abs. It's perfect. I feel so much better after I have done this video.
awesome March 11, 2010

I love this!! Who has time to workout these days? And if you only have 20 minutes, how much can you really accomplish? This video is the answer. I have been working out since I was 11 years old (I love to eat and love to keep a nice figure). This is the most expedient workout ever! I change her jumping jacks to other hoppy movements, I don't like the kind of stress it puts on my joints, nor does my chiropractor (car accident), and it still does the job. When I have time, I do her longer workout or longer yoga workouts. Amazing addition to my "regimen"
Deceptively tough but gratifying March 11, 2010
S. Gardner (San Jose, CA)
This is a brilliant workout because it takes into consideration all levels of fitness.
I have been working out 4-6 days a week for around twenty years. I started out with the original "Firm" video, then included Step workouts, added running, Tae Bo, yoga, and then more pure strength workouts, like Cathe Fredrich's Muscle Max (another 5 stars). Just this year I added tennis. I get bored VERY easily and never do the same workout more than once a week. Basically, I cross-train. I don't LOVE working out, but I've managed, with all the variety, to maintain the discipline to keep at it, do what works for me, and enjoy a healthy and fit lifestyle.
All this to say, "Shred" has been with me for about 18 months and levels 2 and 3 still manage to push me to a very satisfying place where I feel like I really worked out. Again, I only do it once a week, but I do two levels each time, alternating: 1,2; 1,3; 2,3 on a three week rotation, and top the hour off with 20 minutes of Cathe Friedrich's Core.
This video is so deceptively tough. The moves are so simple in their design, but require major work to keep up with them. There is one move that I am STILL fighting to get to the finish without stopping. What that means is that this workout is substantial enough to give you lots to grow into, yet at the same time gives a beginner a realistic starting point to feel like they are doing the workout on their own level and giving them a sense of ACHIEVEMENT in doing it. It's a tough workout that is meant to be modified based on your current level. But it is YOUR workout, and YOU have to be the one to push yourself up to the max you can do.
I, personally, love Jillian. I actually think that the "smug" attitude some reviewers balk at is funny, because I take it as she is being a little self-ironic. I am so glad she is not one of those teachers who is perky and dance-y and resembles a cheerleader. (One reason I "left" The Firm 8 years ago - couldn't stand the Stepford feeling of the instructors.) I need instructors who sweat and grunt along with me. She's realistic: "See these abs.....you don't get these for free." She's empathetic: "We're working the obliques.....we women can get these too with a little work, okay, maybe a lot of work!" But most of all, while I'm huffing and puffing through high knees and grunting through rock stars, she's still talking! LIke it's nothing. She represents her own workout. And I respect that.
The only thing that doesn't work for me is that the abs in levels 1 and 2 are not challenging enough for me; but that is why I started applauding this video for being appropriate for all levels of fitness. For someone who is just starting to train their body, she doesn't try to impress by being too hard core and gives people a place to begin. It's brilliant.
The only thing that would be better than this video is if I had Jillian, herself, in my workout room screaming at me like she does her team on TBL!
