So what is it?

Biggest Loser’s tough trainer Jillian Michaels guides you through a ‘3-2-1’ workout which combines strength, cardio and abs to burn calories and shred flab for a lean body - in 30 days.

How does it work?

It features three complete 20-minute workouts, each of which include three 6 min workouts made up of short bursts of strength, cardio and abs exercises with a warm up and cool down either side. Each of the three levels increase in intensity as you progress through the month-long regime.

**Is it for me? **

It is claimed the 20-minute-a-day workout can help beach-body hopefuls lose up to 20 pounds in 30 days – and results are apparently visible within the first week. But it’s not easy – the workout must be done every day for 30 days and Jillian allows no resting between each short burst of exercise, meaning results happen fast.

In the words of Jillian herself: ‘This helps you burn more fat and more calories, and gets you toned that much faster.’

Perhaps the reason the 30-day shred workout is so popular is because all you need is a set of hand weights. You can achieve gym-like results in the comfort of your own living room without spending more time or money than you can spare.
