I'm glad that I have done 30 Day Shred, as it really builds you up for RI30 Level 1.
The warm up seems to have quicker moves in it than 30 DS.
The format is the same, except that there are 3 Strength moves instead of 2.
Slightly felt that I'd been working out, but no major pain the days after

I am just finishing up The 30 Day Shred and so yesterday, I took my crazy pill and did 30 DS Level 3 followed by Ripped in 30 Level 1 (Day 1). One solid hour of Jillian kicking my butt! Most of my strength lies in my lower body. Doing The Shred has been very challenging for me because of that. All those moves that work my arms, back, shoulders and core are killing me! (But in a good way.
)
In general, I get an initial impression that Ripped in 30 is going to be even harder than The Shred, but that it is also a little more "balanced" and in tune with current exercise philosophies...like insisting that we take a day off every week. The body needs that to recouperate and repair.0 -
This is my first time doing any Jillian programs. I tried a "test" of it on Xbox Fitness and decided to go ahead and do the whole program. I figured it would be a good kick off to getting back on a regular workout routine. Day three and I'm definitely feeling some serious all over soreness. I know today's workout is going to be tough to push thru.
What sorts of things do you all do in addition to 30 min with Jillian?0 -

I don't have a gym membership and we do not own a treadmill or other serious execise machine. However, I take a brisk walk most everyday. I have a FitBit One and I try to hit 15,000 steps and 50 floors (flights of stairs) per day. Sometimes I will jog/run (if hubby is not with me.) I also jump rope in my garage, especially if the weather is not nice outside. Before I started "The 30 Day Shred" last month, I was doing regular garage workouts that consisted of intervals of jumping rope and other high intensity moves with my medicine ball, hand weights, & body weight. Since Jillian's workouts really work my whole body, I haven't been doing much of my garage workouts lately. When I finish with Ripped in 30 next month, I will probably just start alternating doing some of my old garage workouts with the workouts in Shred and Ripped. I live in Wyoming where the winter weather is pretty dang bitter. The dvd's come in handy when it is miserable outside.0 -
I am curious...what size hand weights do most people use? I have 2 lb. and 5 lb. dumbbells that I used doing "The 30 Day Shred."0
-
I'm using 3lb & 5lb.0

I'm planning on starting Ripped on Sunday. Did a week about a month ago and gave up! Was using 3lb weights. I also am trying to run three times a week for at least 30 mins. And a yoga class weekly too.0
-
Welcome all! I'm using 1.5kg (3.3lbs). I also have 3kg ones which I might use for some of the excercises. I'm not doing any other workouts. I plan on starting Body By You in January, and probably alternate with RI30 and 30DS.0

I finished Week 1 on the 14th, I did it 5x over the course of 7 days, then I took a 2 day breather (by accident, family got in the way) then started Week 2 on the 16th. I have 3 sets of weights 2, 3, and 5lbs. If it's to easy I go up to 5lbs, if it gets too difficult to where I can't complete the exercise I go down one.0

Started week 1 on Monday. STILL so sore I can barely move.! Arghhhh!!!!
Ive been using 8lb weights.0 -

8 lb. weights? You go girl! There are some moves that I could do with heavier weights, but not the whole workout! :noway:0 -
yeah, ive lifted in the past (though not recently) but didn't realize quite how many reps would be involved in 20 minutes! I totally pooped out on the shoulder raises. Something to work towards, I guess.Started week 1 on Monday. STILL so sore I can barely move.! Arghhhh!!!!

My DVD arrived today so I plan on starting tomorrow. I don't have weights yet. I figured I would start without them just so I don't keep postponing this any further. I'll try to get the weights in the next day or so. I'm not quite sure what kind of weights I should get either. I've never done DVD work outs. Seems like 3lb weights is the way to go?0
-
I use 1.5 kg weights but I'll probably be purchasing new heavier ones (maybe 3 kgs?) as I progress with RI30.
Along with these DVDs, I workout 1h a day 6 times a week, usualy alternating HIIT on the stationary bike and steady cardio also on the stationary bike. Yesterday I dusted off zumba fitness 2 and loved it so much I think I'll substitute the bike for it every other day.0 -
Use tins or water bottles till you get weights. Not so heavy but better than nothing!My DVD arrived today so I plan on starting tomorrow. I don't have weights yet.

First day down! This is my first time doing any sort of DVD workout. I wasn't sure what to expect. It was nice! Good workout. I used 1.5 lb makeshift weights that I would combine to make 3lb whenever possible. I need to get real weights. Let's see if I'm gonna be too beat up tomorrow.0

Hey
How are you all finding Week 1?
Have a great weekend!!0 -
Hey ladies
I was supposed to start RI30 on Wednesday but I've been feeling a little under the weather so I decided to wait until I was feeling better. It was only a bit of a cold but as I'm fairly sure RI30 is going to be tough going I didn't want to start when I couldn't breathe through my nose!!
So, I could possibly start today after work but I'm planning to start tomorrow morning. Feel free to add me and yell at me if I haven't logged it tomorrow :bigsmile:
Catch up with you after Day 1. Interested to know how everyone else is getting on!0 -
Sorry to hear you are unwell olalola. I remember when I was doing the 30 Day Shred, I attempted 1 day with the cold, but felt that I didn't put in enough effort, so didn't do any more till I was better.
Hope you feel better soon. :flowerforyou:
PS, niceties over, YOU BETTER GET YOUR *kitten* IN GEAR TOMORROW!!!! Lol!!0 -
Olalola, I haven't been feeling 100% this week either! That being said, I took yesterday "off" from any "real" workout. I did get in over 15,000 steps and over 50 floors (up the stairs) worth of walking.
I have only done Ripped, Level 1 one time this week because I am still finishing up The 30 Day Shred. Depending on how today's "Shred" workout goes, I might do the Ripped workout afterwards. Either way, I should be okay. My goal is to finish Ripped by December 20th, which is my wedding anniversary...I wanna' knock his socks off and make him glad he's stuck by me all these years! 0 -
I was supposed to start today, but I only managed to do 1h of zumba fitness and then I went down with a massive headache, ugh.
I'm more than ready to get back on track tomorrow (:0 -
I did all 4 weeks of workouts last week, M, Tu, Th, and F. This week, I did week 1 on Monday, week 2 on Tuesday, and week 3 on Thursday. I wanted to do week 4 today, but my body was worn out and told me "no," so I did a different workout that was all cardio. I will try to go for week 4 tomorrow. I also go to the gym on Monday and Wed. That is why it is so hard for me to complete the four dvd workouts every morning. My gym routine is pull-ups, pistol squats, push-ups, and Romanian dead lifts. I increased the squats and dead lifts this week, so the legs were pretty torched by today, especially since I did a 3 mile hill run Thursday. I am wondering if I should space out the gym workout to Monday and Thursday, and maybe run Tues or Wed instead. Oh and I do the RI30 workouts with 9lb weights. I switch to 3lb very rarely.0

Today I did the 30 Day Shred Level 3 followed by Ripped in 30 Level 1. I also shoveled snow. :happy:0

Hey all
Great to see people making all this progress! I started week 1 today. Really enjoyed it, especially the 3 lots of strength instead of the 2 in 30DS as I wasn't always able to complete the full sets in 30DS. Think it might take a couple of days to work on form before I really go for it though.
Hope everyone's enjoying their weekend 0 -

Hahaha!! Done! Thanks for the *kitten* kicking :drinker:0 -
did 30ds twice today, to make u for the fact I ate like 5 mini cupcakes whilst watching the Dr Who 50th Anniversary special...
currently waiting for RI30 to download as I've lost my copy, so I'll start that tomorrow!
looking forward to being ripped for christmas ladies? feel free to add me as friends.. I need the extra accountability to you all to keep at it!0 -

That Dr Who special was so good!!
In response to your question on my status update yesterday, btw, I start my HRM at the beginning of my workout and stop it when I'm finished and just log the total calories burnt. Sometimes I add a couple of planks or squats before I finish my workout so the time won't always be specifically the time I've spent doing RI30 but I log it all as RI30 anyway if that makes sense!0 -
So... I started yesterday!
I liked it so much better than 30DS day 1, but that's probably because I'm a little fitter now :drinker:
I love the new composition of the strenght part and also the lenght of the cool down part. Now I (we!) just have to stick with it :bigsmile:0 -
I wasnt part of the 30 day shred group but i came across it yesterday and then found the link to this group. Ripped in 30 dvd has been laying on my counter for the past two weeks without my trying it. So i thought this group would be the perfect motivation for me to do it. And i put it in but i couldnt get past the first two circuits. I am horribly out of shape and instead of losing weight, i keep gaining more than i have lost. Its depressing but i would love some support and motivation. So even though i failed horribly yesterday, i will keep trying (hopefully). To be fair, i worked out kinda late in the day and if i didnt have to go out for dinner, i would have finished the whole workout with a lot of breaks but i didnt have the time.
So i am hoping i can stick with it, as best as i can, knowing that other people out here are doing it too. Hope your workouts were much better than mine yesterday.0 -

1. Do the modifications given for the beginners
2. Use light weights-3lb or lighter, or skip the weights until you can do the whole routine.
3. Start the workout when you know you have adequate time to finish it.0
