Moms Love Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred
We’ve been noticing a lot of buzz amongst the online mommy set lately about Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred DVD, so we decided to do a little investigating to see what it’s all about.
For those of you thinking, “30 Day what now?” here’s a quick rundown: the DVD is an intense bootcamp featuring fitness expert Jillian Michaels, a trainer on the television show The Biggest Loser. It features three 20-minute workouts at three increasing intensity levels. Your goal is to spend 10 days at each level, until you reach Day 30 (at which point you should do some serious celebrating, because from what we’ve read, this workout ain’t easy).
We can see why this DVD is a hit with busy moms. After all, when you’re pressed for time and desperate to get some results, 20 minutes in your own living room with minimal equipment (i.e. some light weights and a mat) is a lot easier to deal with than an hour at the gym. And with our current economic situation, a single DVD that really delivers is a great choice for budget-minded mamas.
Looking for some more information, or a little inspiration? Kristen Chase of Motherhood Uncensored is sharing her daily Shred progress on her Shred Blog, and can also be found on Twitter under @shredheads.
While we’re not sure about the idea of losing “up to 20 pounds in 30 days,” we may just have to give this one a whirl and—ahem—weigh in for ourselves.
Have you tried the 30 Day Shred? We’d love to hear about your results!

Jillian Michaels is definitely the biggest success with running a business at the moment. She must take care to not encourage garbage products though when she says that the actual path to fitness is good food and keeping fit.
