I got bored and I am skipping around the levels, I'm keeping track on a sheet on my fridge which levels I complete for each day. If I'm feeling tired I do the level one, if I have motivation I do one of the other two. I'm going to look at the end and see how it splits up.
Today I took a rest day (other than walking the dogs two miles), as I was pretty sore from yesterday's level 3 (I had also done a two mile walk and an hour of yoga) but I'm already feeling ready to get after it again tomorrow!! I took a epson salt bath and that stuff seriously works!!1 -
Is anyone else feeling this a ton in their shoulders? I'm feeling it so much there that I'm worrie they are getting too big. I know that sounds crazy, but I have a small butt so it doesn't take much to throw off the proportions.0

I do think that both 30 DS and RI30 are harder on the upper than the lower body. I've been interspersing them with Killer Buns and Thighs when I feel like my arms and shoulders need a rest, to even it out a bit1

Thanks for mentioning this, I am going to look into it, I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt that it focuses a lot on the upper body. Though I can definitely tell my legs have gotten stronger, but they just aren't getting worked as much.
I was thinking of maybe mixing in a butt/ leg workout and an abs workout to help even out. I LOVE 30DS but I seriously feel like my arms are worked on every move and I can't even hold myself up on some moves bc my shoulders hurt.

You gotta do what works for you. I did 10 days at each level (I tried to do 5-6 per week) and moved up a level at that point.2

I don't know if anyone else has encountered this problem but I was doing the 30ds using the YouTube videos but they seem to have disappeared. I went to do my workout this evening but had to do something different as I couldn't find it, it's gone from my history and everything. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll get back on track but otherwise I'm afraid I'm out

Oh no! That sucks they probably found out it was on there or decided to take it off to make more money.
I got mine on iTunes for $10 if your will to pay that much, also you can but the levels individually so you don't have to buy the first level if you were almost done etc.0 -
That is so weird! I have no insight, sorry.0

When I try all 3 links I am getting "This video has been removed by user" so interesting that you can still see them. Maybe it's country specific? I will explore my other options but thanks for posting the links.

Hey guys, I'm here to join you all by doing ripped in 30 days! I've done 3 weeks of healthy eating to get myself back on track and to give myself a period to adjust instead of diving in head first (I've tried that before and it didn't work). I've lost 4 pounds so far without exercise and have to lose 15 more pounds to get to my goal weight. Very curious towards the results of everyone!
Starting weight: 68 kg/150 lbs
Goal weight: 61 kg/135 lbs
Height: 173cm/5'8"
I'm using 4.4 pound weights (I'm from the Netherlands. Here it would be 2 kg) and both where she uses one heavier weight. I've done day 1 of level 1 yesterday and am really sore all over, so I'm excited to continue!2 -
Welcome WsvT!0

Hi there WsvT I was really sore after day one on both weeks... currently on week 3, just done day 3. Have had to modify some of the moves - my knees won't handle plyometrics... 0

Hi all, just to say I've done 30DS a couple of times (I got it for £5 from Amaz*n). Yes it was hard work and I couldn't walk for a couple of days when I first started, but I was so happy with the results it was worth it in the end. Plus I felt so much better and more energetic in myself.
Ripped in 30 (again, £5) I didn't enjoy so much but that's probably just me not liking the different routines. I used 2kg weights for the arm raises and they seemed to work well. I did feel a massive sense of achievement when I could get through one routine without stopping.
Although you don't apparently expand a lot of calories during the workout (my Fitbit says 144 cals!) , I think the fat burning thing works. I lost weight much quicker doing this than when I went to the gym for an hour a day three/four times a week plus looked amazing for the first time in my life. All in all, go for it -but take care at first so you don't damage yourselves, especially knees. Good luck!2 -
Ah yes, plyometrics... I really hope my knees will get stronger soon. Yesterday I had to skip the running man cardio bit and did controlled lunges instead because my left knee was killing me. Today it was all fine though. Maybe my form was just better.
The soreness also hasn't decreased yet! It seems strange to me that you have to work all the same (untrained) muscles every single day. During the insanity workout program they have a yoga day scheduled in to give them a little rest/stretch plus another rest day. I think I'll be implementing that here as well.
How are you all doing? Did you notice an increase in strength/endurance and/or muscle mass?0 -
I noticed a difference in my arms and shoulders after doing shred - more definition (just less fat or newbie gains? Not sure) I still have rubbish upper body strength though - the day I do a set of big-girl push-ups will be cause for celebration. I find the 'every day same workout' hard to comprehend as well - I know it's not like lifting heavy or anything, but surely you're supposed to rest muscle groups in between working them, right? I alternate workouts to mitigate the overuse0

Im 2 days away from 30ds. But since I leave to go on vacay in 6 days, I'm going to do levels 1 2 1nd 3 on my non running days and continue with level 3 for the running days. I will start ripped in 30 when I get home.

Just finished week 4 day 4 of RI30... plan to do 30DS starting next Thursday after I get back from a mini holiday...0
-
I'm taking a little break from ripped in 30. Doing the high intensity versions of the exercises was too harsh on my weak and untrained body (I don't know moderation when I'm put to a challenge, haha), so I'll be doing calisthenics combined with runs as preperation first. Seems like you guys are doing great!0
-
I couldn't run yesterday and really wanted the calories so I did all three levels back to back. Not bad, but I was tired. Not sore, but body tired.2

Week 4 day 5 of RI30 done... and that's me done til after my hol - good luck with the rest of it to everyone else!1
