Re: Jillian Michaels "ripped in 30"
I did level one today and it made me sweat more then level 3 of 30 day shred. I completed 30 day shred 2 weeks ago. I went back to running for 2 weeks and busted my knee up again. I like Jillian Michael dvd's because they help rehad my knees. I made it through the workout with no pain so it is easy on the knees (at least for me) I am looking fwd to doing it again tomorrow. The main differences are there are 4 levels not 3 like 30 day shred. And instead of strength circuit having 2 workouts (30 second then one minute then 30 then 1 min) it has 3 for 30 seconds each and then it repeats. Other then that it is just like 30 day shred. I like it and think it was worth the money. The true test is how I feel tomorrow morning lol
Oh and there were only a couple exercises that were the same as 30 day and even those were made a little harder. Like level 3 abs were done on level 1 for this one.
I found a breakdown of it online breakdown
but this is what it says.
