Losing Weight with Jillian Michaels

Back in December, I wrote about my New Year's resolution to lose weight. You can read that article, New Years Resolution Number One - Lose Weight here on Associated Content. My quest for a smaller me, resulted in using Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred video and her website. Do these videos and websites work? Let's take a look and see.

30 Day Shred

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred is a video that is widely available. The workouts on this video are tough. There are three levels of intensity, so that even very fit people will benefit from it. Although level one is meant for beginners, those who are out of shape will find it grueling and some may find it impossible. If you have heart or respiratory issues, show the video to your physician prior to starting out. In addition, some of her exercises are extremely difficult on the knees and lower back. Therefore anyone with lower back issues should consult their doctor prior to use. Losing weight with Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred will work if you stay with it. The trick here is to stay with it. I found it difficult to stay motivated with just the video alone. Before purchasing the video, check out Red Plum and other online avenues for coupons. You can save big and get the cost down to about $8.00 this way.

There are positive things about the video. Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred promises that you can lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days. Dropping 20 pounds in 30 days will not happen with the video alone. You need to change your diet to accomplish that. The video offers no help with diet or calorie counting information, but if you actually read the inside cover of the video, there is a code for a free 30 day trial to Jillian Michaels Online. 30 days free is a good deal. Other good things about this video are that you will see big changes in how your body looks and feels. Expect to put on a good amount of muscle, especially if you use 5-10 lb weights. The intensity of her workouts can be increased easily, just up the amount of weight you are using. Beginners may want to start with 2-3 pound weights to be sure they can handle the workout.

Jillian Michaels Online

The Jillian Michaels website offers meal planning, calorie counting, support through message boards, and exercises. You can track your weight loss and keep an online journal about your fitness progress. You answer a few questions which takes all of about 5 minutes and then a daily calorie count, meal plan and exercise plan are all tailored to meet your needs. A Review of Jillian Michaels Online is a good place to get rated information about every aspect of her online weight loss program. Losing weight with Jillian Michaels online is perhaps an expensive way to lose weight but it is much cheaper than going to the local gym. After the free trial, access to the website is $50.00 per quarter (3 months). Most gyms charge $30 per month. Jillian's website offers a significant savings. However, you will not have access to the equipment a gym offers. All you need to follow Jillian Michaels exercises are some bands, hand weights, perhaps a Pilate's ball, and a chair or bench.

Try to get the code for the free 30 day trial to this website. You can find it inside the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred video and probably others as well. Her online ads will only offer you 1 week free, so it is important to hunt down the code for a longer free trial.

Losing weight by combining Jillian Michaels online and her 30 Day Shred video is not easy but it can be accomplished. Did I lose 20 pounds in 30 days - no. Part of that was motivation, part was diet, but I did lose weight and you can too.
