Possible negative points
BODYSHRED may not be suitable for all body types
One buyer commented that although the program was an amazing workout, she found she put on more “weight” in her thighs.
This can only be due to muscle enlarging slightly as it gets stronger, owing to the lower body strength exercises.
On the plus side, research shows that extra muscle tone in the legs helps to remove cellulite.
Once body fat starts to drop, the legs appear less bulky and more shapely.
Jillian Michaels personality
Some remark on Jillian Michaels personality not gelling well with them.
You do have to expect some abrasiveness with workout DVD presenters, after all, they are there to get you motivated and fired up, so may come across this way.
And if you’ve ever watched Biggest Loser, you already know what she’s like…

Is the Jillian Michaels BODYSHRED Plan Worth Buying?
Depending on what you are looking for, Jillian Michaels could be the best workout DVD program you’ve ever had…or it could be a disappointment. Let’s start off with what’s not so good.
Firstly, the production values are somewhat lacking, and many users have commented on the fact that the music used throughout is not to their taste.
Similarly, it is quite unnecessary for this pack to come on 12 DVDs. 12 DVDs and a 348 minute running time averages around 30 minutes per DVD.
There is no reason that some of these exercises could be combined on a smaller number of DVDs, and the fact that they aren’t combined appears to be an attempt at making the plan seem larger than it is.
However, many people are far less concerned about such trivial matters and are far more concerned with the quality of the workouts.
Thankfully, Jillian has put together a tremendous workout plan here, combining resistance training, cardio training and core work. With a continuous approach, BODYSHRED manages to give you a tremendous workout in 30 minutes, and there is little doubt that 30 minutes will be enough!
Unlike some fitness DVD programs that require you to purchase a number of accessories to complete the exercises, BODYSHRED only requires that you have dumbbells of suitable and comfortable weight. Some of the exercises will take some getting used to, but the on-screen trainers always demonstrate both perfect form and a modified version side by side.

This is particularly welcome, as many of the exercises require some practice to get right!
All in all, if you are serious about getting in shape and are looking to do it as efficiently as possible, you can’t go far wrong with BODYSHREAD. It might not have the production values of some of its rivals, but it more than makes up for it with its content.
