I just got No More Trouble Zones in the mail yesterday but I haven't done it yet. Isn't it more toning exercises than cardio? I have Shred and it's super intense cardio mixed with toning and abs...kind of a quick (each level is only about 20 minutes) 3 in 1 work out, and your heart rate is up the entire time.
NMTZ is WAY harder. almost an hour of weights, no breaks.
good luck!
I've also heard it's harder, because there are less breaks for cardio. The Shred is interval training, so for me it's a relief when the cardio/ab sections roll around.
I did NMTZ last night for the first time...pretty intense! I'm sore today but not like, I can't move sore. It definitely works all your muscle groups, I liked it!
Ohhhh, thanks for the reveiw - I may have to pick this one up as well. I did Biggest Loser Power Sculpt for the first time (just level 1) and wasn't terribly impressed (although I was slightly sore the next day).
I just bought no more trouble zones! How are you liking it so far?
I have No More Trouble Zones, 30 day shred, and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism by her. I haven't tried BFBM yet, but NMTZ is DEFINITELY harder than 30 day shred (or at least the first level). It is longer and I feel that it gives you a much better overall body workout in a short period of time. The thing that is nice about 30 day shred is the DVD comes with 3 levels of workouts. So if you feel that the first level is too easy after awhile, you can move up to the next level. I'm only at level 1 at the moment, so I'll have to let you all know how much more difficult the other levels are compared to NMTZ. I feel that the 30 day shred doesn't really address my "problem" areas like the triceps and butt/thighs, but it's a good quick workout combining strength, cardio, and abs. If you have Verizon or Comcast, you might want to check the Exercise TV section of OnDemand. They often have all of those workouts in their selection (though I haven't seen them recently--but I got the DVDs so no reason to check) so you can try them out and see if you like one over the other. I think whichever workouts you get you will be happy with it. I saw results pretty quickly. Now I just have to motivate myself to keep up with it 
I just checked OnDemand for Verizon and they have 30 Day Shred level 1, Quick trouble zones (which leaves out one circuit from NMTZ), and Boost Metabolism if anyone wants to try it! It's free on there!
i love all three JM dvd's and use all three of them in rotation for my 5x/week workouts.
i think their level of difficulty is what matters more to you... i started NMTZ after using the 30 ds for two weeks... so it was easier than just starting out with NMTZ.
30 DS is an intense 20 minute workout, while NMTZ circuits are "easier" but you are working out longer 40 minutes.
i just started using BFBM last week and it's HUGE on cardio and kickboxing!!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Does anyone know how this compares to the Shred? I purchased it and wow what a workout! I'm wondering if the Shred is harder than this one? Seems everyone is doing that dvd. Any insight? Thanks!
