Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Kit

I purchased this mainly for the weights and figured the mat might come in handy. The weights are great! They fit into your hand well and are easy to manipulate during various exercises. The material the weights are wrapped in is slip-resistant and comfortable to hold on to.I used the mat for a while during my workouts, but eventually decided it wasn't really adding anything to the experience and I could just as easily put a bath towel down on my living room rug in order to protect the rug. If you are working out on a hard surface without a rug or carpet, you may find the mat to be far more useful than I did (although it is fairly thin, so it doesn't provide much cushioning). On another note, if you tend to slip easily or have slippery workout shoes (which you should remedy), this mat may give you added traction. For my purposes, the mat contributed nothing except something else to get out and put away before and after each workout.

The yoga mat is quite thin, but it does what I need which is just helping me not slip and slide around while working out on my carpeted floor. For someone looking for a mat to use on hardwood floors it would probably not offer the cushion needed to make a comfortable workout. I also notice it helps while doing crunches, my tailbone usually hurts while I am on the floor doing them, but with this mat the discomfort is gone. The weights are a nice size and easy for me to hold with the textured feel and also small enough to keep a good grasp with my smaller hands. So far very happy with this kit and the price on Amazon was great.

I like the look and feel of the weights, but the mat is kind of flimsy. It does the trick if you are on carpet, but I would want one a bit more cushioned if using it on a hard surface. Just my preference:) If given the choice to purchase this again, I would probably just go with the weight set by Jillian Michaels, and get a higher quality mat.Overall though, not a bad purchase if you are on a budget:)

I needed a hard workout in a short time and this is it . I used to take Pilates, workout with weights in the gym, and run a couple mornings a week.....this 20 min workout replaces all if that and keeps me in great shape.

I havent worked out much in a while but I started the 30 day shred a couple of days ago and I had been wanting to start off with a low weight. I have 5 pound weights but thats too much for me since i havent worked out in a while. So I love the 3 pound weights because I can still feel a burn but not soooo sore by the next day that I dont want to workout again!

they weights are nice and the mat like others have said is cheap but im only using it for the 30 day shred program and it works just fine for me, but if you are on hard floors id look into something thicker!

Before moving to a location with better access to a good job, this was one of the ways by which my fiancee got a good workout in. She's a big fan of Jillian Michaels products, and I can understand why.

The weights are smaller in the middle and fit my hands much better than some of the other weights that I have seen in the store. I actually haven't used the mat, since I work out with nice thick carpeting. But I have it in case I need it. And for the price, it was worth buying both at the same time.
