Jillian Michaels BODYSHRED Overview

Incorporating Jillian’s S.H.R.E.D. Method, Jillian Michaels BODYSHRED consists of 12 DVDs, a rotational calendar, a menu/meal plan and a fitness guide.  These work together to enable you to lose weight quickly and safely, totally transform your body shape and improve your health and fitness in just 60 days.

If you’re familiar with some of Jillian’s other workouts, you will know her 3-2-1 interval workout method.  This is also the basis of BODYSHRED.  For those unfamiliar with the format, it consists of 3 minutes of strength training, followed by 2 minutes of cardio, then a 1-minute active recovery workout.  Each of the three moves in the strength training segment lasts for 30 seconds and there are two circuits.  The cardio comprises 2 moves, and there are two circuits.  The active recovery segment consists of 30 seconds per move, with the focus being on the core.

In all, you will do 3 sets, with the first one being preceded by a Warm-Up.  This varies from jumping rope to Jumping Jacks, to Toe Kicks or running in place.  You will also be doing Cool-Down stretches at the end of each workout.

Some of the moves require the use of dumbbells.  The weight recommended is between 3lbs and 8lbs, but if you’re accustomed to working with weights, you can go heavier.
BODYSHRED Schedule

On Mondays and Thursdays, the workouts in Jillian Michaels BODYSHRED focus on the so-called push muscles, these being the chest, shoulders, triceps, and quads.

On Tuesdays and Fridays, the workouts focus on the pull muscles, which are those of the back, along with the biceps, hamstrings, and glutes.

Wednesdays and Saturdays comprise a 30-minute cardio session.

Sunday is a rest day.
