I love this workout video by Jillian! The first video (level 1) is perfect for beginners, and those who are out of shape. It might be a bit too easy for those who regularly exercises - you might want to jump to the higher levels. I did level 1 and my thighs, abs, butt and arms were sore the next day! The only thing I did not like was my knees hurt a bit after this workout.. I think it was because of the jumping jacks. The thing I like the most about all of Jillian Michaels' video is that she will motivate you throughout the whole workout and everything she says is powerful enough to keep you going. This is definitely worth my money!

Jillian keeps you motivated and reminds at the same time that this workout is for different levels. Even though I'm new to this she is giving me a workout, and keeping me motivated. There are 3 levels. LOVE IT, LOVE IT , LOVE IT.

This is my first DVD workout (and my first review. I joined the community solely so that I could post this). I'd heard great things about 30DS on a fitness forum and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad that I did. The 20-minute workout made it reasonably easy to fit into the day, and the multiple levels ensured that I kept having something to strive towards and didn't get bored. Jillian always makes sure that there's one person doing modified versions of the moves for those who need to take it a little easier or work out with lower impact. I lost pounds and inches sticking to this workout for 30 days, and now I'm giving some of her other DVDs a try. Some people find Jillian annoying, but I've found that she is focussed and committed--and has a good knack for encouragement in all the right places (usually just as I was wondering if I needed to take a breather). For anyone who gives it a try and finds their legs super sore (to the point that I wondered how badly I had to go to the bathroom because it hurt that much to sit down), I kept pushing through Day 2 and Day 3, and woke up on Day 4 feeling just fine. (The fitness forum I use suggests that anywhere from 3-6 days is pretty normal for most newbies.) You can definitely tell that you're stretching and toning muscles! I strongly recommend this workout.

Simple, effective workouts with minimal equipment - all you need are hand weights and a mat. The workouts come in 3 levels and withing those levels, there are modifications for those who need them. I was surprised how much I hurt after my first workout - it really targeted important muscle groups.

This video is awesome! I don't do it everyday, I do different videos now and then to mix it up, but if I want a good sweat-this my go to. Jillian knows how to work out!

This DVD is worth every cent. Jillian is an excellent trainer, I've used many workout DVDs and Jillian beats them all, hands down. The workouts are 25 min long each, which is perfect for us busier folk or ones who don't want to kill themselves at the gym for three hours, it's not too short and not too long, the duration is perfect. I am currently still doing the level one workout, I find it challenging but not too challenging, I'm looking forward to progressing to the other levels. These workouts WILL make you sweat and they will make your muscles burn. You will see results in your endurance and your body very quickly from day one, just like Jillian says in the intro, I feel a huge difference since I first started. I love working out now, and even when I'm so tired at the end of the day, that 25 min with Jillian is not too much to ask of myself, and it goes by quicker and easier than you would ever think! All in all, you can't go wrong with this workout. It's a great investment for so little money.If you want a simple straight forward workout that will give you the right amount of challenge and get you results, then by all means, buy this DVD! Jillian keeps you motivated and gives you results, and all for a great price, with just a very small time committment.What more could you ask for? All you need is an exercise matt and some handweights. That's it.

I decide to trust the reviews and bought this DVD! I'm very happy that the reviews are all true!!!! Jillian will keep encourage you until the last minute! This workout really make you sweat!!!!!!!!!!

I recently started using this DVD as a way to keep away the holiday pounds. It is a great work out for people of all fitness levels. The DVD itself comes with three different workouts and despite what people say, Jillian does offer modifications to the exercises for people of different fitness and level. Using her 3-2-1 method, Jillian packs in 20 minutes of intense exercise for each of the three levels, alternating between strength, cardio and abs. Believe me you WILL feel the burn. Buy and Use it to meet those New Year's resolutions. 2010-170

and I'm loving every minute of it. I was not even remotely active before starting this program. She is pure genius. I lost 7 pounds in the first 3 days, but then it slowed down once my body adjusted to the activity. She knows exactly when I was ready to give up, and what to say to keep me pushing through.

A dvd for both amateurs and professionals...will leave you breathless, good on its own and for days when you don't feel like heading out to the gym
