Yes, with one important distinction: 28Shred is designed to be done at home and does not require gym machines. As Jillian says, your body is the main tool, with a mat and dumbbells recommended (not mandatory).
- Required: essentially bodyweight + enough floor space
- Recommended: exercise mat, dumbbells, and foam roller.
- Jillian recommends roughly 3–5 lb dumbbells for beginners, with heavier options as you progress.
If a workout calls for a foam roller, you can substitute with a few common household items if you don't have one available:
- Rolled-up bath towel — probably the safest and easiest substitute. Roll it tightly and secure it if needed.
- Yoga mat rolled tightly — gives you a larger, softer surface.
- Firm pool noodle — works similarly to a foam roller, though usually softer.
- A thick, tightly rolled blanket — good for gentler rolling.
- Tennis ball or lacrosse ball — useful for targeting smaller areas like glutes, shoulders, or the bottoms of your feet.
