She’s a trainer and means to be intense, so I get it. She’s always – and I do mean always – yelling at the camera or the cast like she’s swallowed a megaphone. That having been said, Jillian can be a bit loud. It’s taste and there’s no one size fits all opinion. For example, I like Tony Horton, but readily admit many a television has no doubt suffered from a flying brick because of him too. And boy, does it ever excel at it.ĭescribing a trainer is always difficult. Every workout in Bodyshred is essentially a total-body core routine at its heart. There’s not a lot to differentiate one routine from the next so don’t expect something like P90X where most DVD’s are dedicated to certain body parts. It make the whole thing seem more human somehow.īodyshred runs a little short on variety in much the same way the original Insanity did. While it lacks some of the bells and whistles of other workouts, it also has some pretty snappy ideas of its own such as having cast members contribute with cool-downs. Make no mistake, in terms of physical difficulty Bodyshred will kick your sorry butt. I’d say this one lives up to its name nicely. This workout will enhance mobility in ways most cruel. Not heavy, but enough to feel like murder soon enough. With resistance and core, this is a “kitchen sink” workout where its all coming at you. Zenith ( weeks 7-8 )īalls to the wall kids. When it comes to lower back motions, snapping moves are never a good idea for a home video workout. The press-snap has an extremely high potential to totally screw up your back. Squats, balance postures, plyo and abs.īe very careful when you perform some of these moves that engage the lower back. It’s nice and minimalistic with no distractions although it’s a little on the dark side.Ī very intense core assault. I’d recommend keeping some heavier ones close by for curls lest it get too easy. It’s just like the cardio of Launch, just swapping out the muscle work to different parts. Rise ( weeks 1-2 )Ĭardio/core, abs, back and biceps. What you see here is a pretty accurate picture of how things are going to be with all Bodyshred workouts – a heavy core focus. There is some use of weights, but nothing that goes beyond 8-10lbs. Cardio, legs, abs, chest, triceps and shoulders. Launch ( weeks 1-2 )įor an entry level workout, this goes after the core with extreme prejudice. I’ll be nice now.Īll workouts are 30 minutes long. If a workout is going to be cardio, just straight up tell me. Names like Amplify, Apex or Ignite say nothing about what your next half hour is going to be. The contents are expertly made, but the naming convention suffers from the same thing that bugs me about P90X3…it makes no sense. I'm guessing Insanity is wayyy more of a workout but I could be totally off on this since I've tried neither.Īny recommendations would be greatly appreciated, or suggestions of a totally different workout routine or hybrid are welcome too.Calendar, food guide, meal plan and 10 DVD’S. Given the above, what would the recommendation be? She's narrowed it down to Insanity or 30 Day Shred. She'd probably be accepting to do much less running if she was getting better cardio with a DVD though. She doesn't want to do P90X (she wants more toning/weight loss and less strength building) and would like a shorter routine if possible since she works quite a few hours and would like to keep running a bit as well. I started doing P90X a month ago and am seeing immediate results so it's motivating her to try something else. She counts her calories with her Weight Watchers app and runs a few miles a day for probably about a year but reached this plateau and can't take any weight off. So my wife is 5'5", around 150 and wants to shed some pounds.
