I have (mostly) loved doing Jillian Michael’s 30 Day Shred. The workouts are short yet effective and I saw results. I noticed the best results in my shoulders and stomach area because those were two spots I didn’t focus much on with previous workouts. If you’re not familiar with the 30 Day Shred, here’s a summary:
- Three different workout levels
- You do each level for 10 days and then move up to the next level
- Each level consists of three intervals and each interval consists of three minutes of strength exercises, two minutes of cardio, and one minute of abs.
- You don’t need much space to do the workouts and as far as equipment, all you need is a mat (if you’re working out on a hard surface) and hand weights.
There aren’t many downsides but here are my big two:
- 10 days of the same workout can get a little monotonous (tip: try alternating between the beginner and advanced moves for a little variety)
- If you’re not a big fan of Jillian, her voice may start to annoy you (tip: mute the tv and put on some music).
So all of that being said…what’s in it for you?
How about a DVD copy of both the 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30?
Just leave a comment and tell me why you want to win! Maybe you want to do a preemtive strike on holiday cookies or maybe you need a structured workout plan…whatever it is, I want to know!

I’ve recently started running (inspired in part by the PFGs) and have been looking to add some cross training to my routine. This would be perfect!
I started going to they gym in January 2010 and lost about 80lbs by last summer but then my weight loss stopped and I’ve maintained for the last year. However, I noticed over the last couple of weeks I’ve actually gained about 7lbs out of my normal range and I realized it was because I have majorly slacked off over the last few months. I would love to give myself a change to get back into the swing of things and possibly get back on the weight loss track!
I started working with weights recently and would love to include the 30 day shred workouts – I need structure and think this may be the way to get the training I have been looking for!
So sweet of you! I want the DVDs for those crazy days that I can’t get to the gym.
I’d love to win because I think this program would be perfect for getting through the plateau I’m experiencing right now. I need to lose 30 pounds, and have already lost 20 of it, but I’m stalled for the past 10 days. I’m only doing diet, basically no exercise. I heard Danny Cahil talk about Jillian and how much her training helped him on biggest loser, so I’ve been interested in checking this out for a while
i have currently lost 30lbs with another 30-40lbs to go. i live in a small town in the middle of nowhere with no gym access so i do alot of walking etc but would like change things up especially with the weather getting colder!
I would love to Win! I am trying to get something that would help me at home. I am at the beginning of my weight loss journey. I started doing weight watchers 10 weeks ago. I need to start moving more and this would be something great to give me motivation to start with.
I’ve been wanting to purchase the DVD’s to have home workout options! I love Jillian on Biggest Loser!
I wanna win because I want a rockin’ body
and this would be a great way to get out of my plateau.
I would love this as a way to stay focused on working out while inside. I run outside because absolutely hate the gym workouts and most videos that I have are low impact and boring!
My husband and I have been doing P90X and I am in the mood to change it up a bit! I’d love to introduce him to a female instructor and try some other moves
Ooo! I’ve been wanting to try these. I’ve had them sitting in my cart at Amazon for a month now.
I’ll be running my first 10K on December 15 but want to work on other parts of my body besides just my legs.
I’d love to win these. I’ve been pregnant the past two years, lost my son three years ago, and now it’s time to focus on my health and mentality, for myself and my other kiddos. I love Jillians no BS ways, cuz really…I can come up with many excuses! O.o
I’d love to win these because I am looking to switch things up and challenge my body a bit more. I’ve been doing mostly cardio for awhile now so I need to work the rest of my muscles!
Fun! I need something quick and easy to do at home. This sounds like just the ticket!
I’d love to win these because I have never really done any toning work. I have lost weight in the past, but never did anything to build muscle and make me stronger!
I would love to get ripped before my trip to Hawaii this winter! I have been on a journey to get healthy for about 2 years. It has been slow, but I have not given up!
I have been trying to lose about 20 pounds & tone up over the past year or so. Then, I just recently became engaged (!) and have the added motivation of trying to get in shape for the wedding!!
Hello! I am on a journey to become a prior fat girl:) I have lost 35 pounds since having my first baby in April and sending my husband off to Afghanistan 3 days after she was born. I have another 40 or so to go to get to my goal. I would love to try out the Jillian workouts! I have about 6 weeks until my hubby comes home and the 30 day workouts could be just want I need to look great for him and feel great for me:)
I’ve been working more hours and have a hard time getting to the gym. I need something I can do at home! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’m on my off-season for my roller derby team. I need Jillian to kick my butt back into shape!
I would love a copy! I’m very busy these days – I’m a 3rd year law student with a part time job – and sometimes I just can’t get to the gym. I like the idea of trying out some DVDs that I can do at home in an amount of time that fits into my schedule, so this could be perfect!
love your blog. and your journey. i’d love a shred video, but even if i don’t win. just wanted to say thanks for sharing your journey. you’re wonderful.
I want to win because I’ve never done DVD workouts before but I want to try!!
I am looking to change my workout up from constantly switching between three machines: the stairstepper, the eliptical, and the treadmill. I am bored and want to stick with my plan to workout !
Love the whole PFG team! I’d love to win these because I have the next 6 months to try and drop about 40 pounds before my husband and I try IVF. In the last year we’ve tried several IUIs with no success and all the extra hormones and stress helped me pack on the weight. I’m doing my first 5k Saturday and this would be a nice change of pace.
I’m looking for something to get me through the holidays and into the New Year right!
I would love to try them!! Due to financial contraints I recently had to leave the gym. Im desperately looking for something to keep me goin gat home!!
I’m looking for home options to do in addition to my workouts at my work’s gym. I think this would be great!
How is it that it took me 10 months to lose 23 lbs for my wedding…but only 2 months after my wedding to gain 7 of them back?? I need to Shred!!!
Thanks in advance!!
i would love to have it to get off the baby weight. Hard to get to a gym with a newborn!
So many good reasons why we all would love to have the DVDs! Just need a spark here to re-start my weight loss. Would love to give this a try!
I thrive on a structured work out.
My baby just turned 1 and I’ve neglected myself for the past year +, I’m ready to show my body how much I value what it’s done!!!
This is so sweet of you! I’d love some new workout DVD’s for the winter!
I need something to keep me in shape between semesters of my classes.
I NEED to lose these last ten pounds and I think that Jillian can help me do that
I have a 10 month old, the baby weight added to the weight I alread had to lose. I’ve lost all the baby weight but would love to finally lose the weight I’ve been trying to lose for years (20-40 pounds) and after having a baby I could use some toning up! It’d be great to have these DVDs to do at home.
I’d love to win because Jillian is my hero. I have her wii game and I like it a lot (it has bad reviews but idk why)
I’m terrible about finding motivation to work out in the winter when it’s cold outside, so having an option that I can do in my apartment would be awesome!
I have heard wonderful things about these two DVD’s and it would be nice to have something to do at home when being in the public gym is not appealing!
This is a wonderful giveaway!! I had a kidney transplant in 2008 and had some complications since so I’m not able to work. Because of the steroids and medications, I put on about 40lb since the transplant (in addition to the 50lbs I was already overweight!) I’ve recently started to get serious about my weight loss and have begun walking but I’m at the point where I’m ready to do a little more and just recently thought about adding in a video to my routine to get moving a bit more. These would be perfect!! Since I don’t have a lot of money and can’t join a gym, it would be like having my own, personal trainer in the house!
Thanks for a great giveaway!

I’m without a gym membership right now – this would buy me some more time before I need to commit to a gym!
I just had surgery last week for a partial miscarriage. This would have been my 4th child, but it was my 6th pregnancy overall since I’ve had 2 past miscarriages. I had been determined to make this my healthiest pregnancy ever, & now that the baby is gone, I’ve been eating my grief big-time. I enjoy lots of different workouts but I’ve never tried Jillian. I figure once I have the ok to exercise again, maybe Jillian can get me more excited about the process again.
I’ve been meaning to try this forever. What a nice gift to your readers!!
Winter means indoor workouts and I’d love to try a new DVD!
I’ve recently committed to weight loss and excercise is a huge part of that. I don’t have a lot of free time and I know Jillian’s workouts are short and powerful!
I want to win so I can lose the rest of my baby weight and then some. I’ve already lost 65lbs and am in a slump that I think Jillian can help me move past!
