 Excellent Book, everything you need. May 14, 2008

I have only a few days left on this 30 day program and without following the food list exactly I have lost over 12 pounds. Stick to the exercise program (which will challenge you), use the daily food list as a "guide" (can be expensive to buy and cook everything listed, however there are some great recipes) and this book will do wonders for you. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Compare the information in this to all the other books that are out there and this will come out on top everytime. Still, just buying the book isn't enough, you still have to get out there and do the work. And yes, alot of the exercises are using gym equipment, however these can be modified quite easily to be done at home. No treadmill for sprints? Jump rope for 3 minutes instead. People saying "I don't have access to a gym so it's no good" are just making excuses. IF you really want results, this book will get you there.
Fantastic Book for Getting Cut! May 13, 2008

I recently finished Jillian's 30 day program for getting cut. It was a great intense work out program that truly showed results. I did not follow the diet because I did not have time to mess with the meals and recipes but kept to my own diet plan. Still the muscle chiseling that occured was amazing!!
I would recommend this to anyone who has the discipline to keep up with the 30 day plan. Access to a gym is crucial but only for half of the regimen. The other half I did at home with my own equipment.
Today at the dentist office a mutual friend commented that I not only looked in great shape but "cut." That was the ultimate compliment to my hard work and testament to the effectiveness of the book.
Thanks Jillian! I couldn't have done it without your motivation and awesome circuits!! Great results after only 30 days!!!
 Just not for me. May 9, 2008

I only give this a one star because it just isn't for me. There's just no way I would follow the meal plan. I'm not that dedicated. I love Jillan's DVDs, and I know she means business, but this book is just too much for me. If you are serious about sticking to her meal and exercise plans, then I'm sure it would be worth the money. If you are looking for a serious workout, then buy her DVDs. I can recommend the 30-day Shred and Biggest Loser Sculpt.
 Tough, but worth it! May 4, 2008

I just completed her program, and I must say at times it was really tough. But it was 100% worth it. Her workouts will DEFINITELY kick your butt into shape! It's a program consisting of 5 circuits for each days workout.
I didn't so much follow her exact meal plans, but I followed her nutritional guidelines when it when it came to what percentages of carbs/fats/proteins. And I also counted calories, as she recommends.
It all I lost 9lbs and quite a few inches off my stomach!
I did a couple of the first days workouts at home, but the rest I did at the gym. I would say it's probably possible to do it all at home, but you'd have to be creative & have some equipment. It's best if you have gym access.
The only downside was she doesn't have pictures of EVERY SINGLE exercise. But you could easily YouTube or Google them to find out.
If you have the discipline to commit to this, and like a detailed plan, then this one's for you. Good luck!
Great Workout May 2, 2008

Let me tell you. This is the best workout I have did in a long time. Don't get discouraged if you cannot do everything right away. Be creative and improvise if you don't have a gym and try to keep moving. Both my husband and I are doing this and have seen the results. We have our own diet that we stick by so we aren't using the diet but love the workout.
