If I had the space, I would totally use it because it does really work.<br /><br />For someone with very little time for working out, it's definitely worth a try.<br /><br />You can find most of it on YouTube if you look around.

Sounds like it will be perfect for travel.<br /><br /><br />Courtney,<br />Thanks for the comment. I just watched part of one of the workouts online. I'm into the left brain/right brain elements. I'm a sucker for stuff like that ;)<br /><br /><br />Heather,<br />I'm taking the girls to MI to our family cottage on Lake Michigan. Also stopping to visit some family/friends on our way up and down. We'll be gone end of June -Aug. I'm excited/terrified about the length... but I think it will be good for my psyche to get out of here for awhile.Mrs Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082932653215907248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-47041568609365881002009-05-18T12:51:00.000-04:002009-05-18T12:51:00.000-04:00I just bought it and I think it is a great workout...I just bought it and I think it is a great workout. Don't be fooled - level one is NOT easy and I am fairly fit right now. I've also heard looked at some threads on this DVD and people say when it gets too easy they will increase the hand weights or double up the workouts - do level one and level three back to back. <br /><br />I am a big fan of Jillian right now, and I listen to her podcast. She clarified that it shouldn't be done EVERY day for 30 days, maybe 4or 5 days a week and move up to the next level when the current level feels easy. I myself just use it as a filler workout on days I don't have time for my full workout.<br /><br />I think it would be a good trip DVD though because you don't need a lot of room, just enough room to do a jumping jack or pushup, and the only equipment you need is the light hand weights and maybe a yoga mat if you are on a hard surface.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003901809816038543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-34430010858250599502009-05-18T12:32:00.000-04:002009-05-18T12:32:00.000-04:00Okay Mrs. F. - I have the 30 Day shred and I think...Okay Mrs. F. - I have the 30 Day shred and I think that it's a really good video (husband thinks maybe she talks too much - but I like that she keeps reminding me to make my time count). Because it is divided into three increasingly difficult segments, you can vary the length of your workout. Also, because there's no equip. (save mat) it is great for travelling.<br /><br />Jillian also has a good longer length workout (Banish Fat Boost Metabolism). Both DVDs are great because they're no nonsense, doable at any level, but still challenging.P/Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011597977129472269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-88144001420664524572009-05-18T10:47:00.000-04:002009-05-18T10:47:00.000-04:00First time to comment but long time lurker.

It is called T-Tapp. Look into and let me know what you think! I wish that I had known about this when my kiddos were little!<br />Courtney <br />P.S.

It is a killer workout but I stuck with it through level 1, 2, and finally 3! It is AWESOME. I got about 3-4 months of use out of the video before I finally felt like level 3 was too easy. It totally changed my body, and I saw muscles I've never seen before. I did it about 4-5 times a week. I would recommend it to anyone. I now do No More Trouble Zones, also by Jillian, and it's the perfect follow up video! You will not regret buying 30DS. Just so you know, you need hand weights! I used 3 pounds at first but after that I used 5. Oh I also lost about 30 pounds during the 3 1/2 months I did it, but I was doing weight watchers as well. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-72471429127903353272009-05-17T20:48:00.000-04:002009-05-17T20:48:00.000-04:00Dana,

I'd like to say I would get plenty of exercise with the girls but I also know that might not happen. I don't want to work hard now just to let it all go while I'm gone. I think this might work for me. The workouts are short enough that it wouldn't feel like I was eating too much time out of our vacation either.Mrs Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082932653215907248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970661341243634764.post-86519950156057440172009-05-17T20:40:00.000-04:002009-05-17T20:40:00.000-04:00I have the DVD.

So I haven't tried it, but there's a blogging group called the Shred Heads, and they swear it's the bomb. One girl lost twenty pounds in 2 1/2 months doing the DVD. <br /><br />It looks easy at first, but they say it's hard core.
