    I just bought it today and found the thread so I will try it later tonight. Hope I will be able to do it b/c I havent done the 30DS in a week. Thanks for starting it

    Level 1, Day 2 done! I admit that I am a bit sore today as I haven't done a workout since last week when I finished '30 Day Shred'. Definately loving the variety and pace of 'Ripped in 30'.

    Crystal9999 ~ Feel free to post with us once you start... they are both a 30 day dvd and I couldn't do all my workouts in that time as I was out of town twice last month. I completed 22 workouts in 35 days. My goal for 'Ripped' is 30 workouts in (hopefully) 30 days as I don't have as many commitments this month :smile:

    Level 1 Day 1 done!! Glad I did the 30Day Shred before this one, WOW some of those moves are killers! but I did it :happy: and sweat feels good again. Still cannot lift both weights on those side lunges so I went back to the moves from 30DS and will start from there. I will post measurement tommorrow. Lets get ripped!

    Hello! I would like to start posting here, if you ladies don't mind. I am, however, a week ahead of you. I started last Monday. Just got done with Week 1 today. I did it for 7 days, with a rest day thrown in between. I am going to take a break tomorrow (unless I am dying to work out) and then start week 2 day after!

    I found Week 1 to be much easier today. I still sweat a lot, but I think I am ready to move on! I won't miss the cardio moves like fast feet and running man. I abhor them completely! :grumble:

    Good luck to everyone! I promise it'll get better.

    Level 1, Day 3 done! I also hate the running man but it should be burning lots of calories so I'll keep up as best I can. All it reminds me of for now is mountain climbers from 30DS but without the shoulder burn.

    Also, I am using 5 lb weights for the first 2 strength sets but downgrade to 2 lb weights for the last set --- I find that my arms are big (as in muscular) enough that I would rather tone them more than make them any bigger :wink:

    Running man is so much better than those sumo squats from L3 of 30DS. Ugh! I'll do them any day over those!

    Today is supposed to be my rest day, but I am getting really tempted to work out...haha.

    I'm currently on day 17 of the 30DS and am considering doing Ripped in 30 next so I'm keen to keep an eye on your thread and see how you are finding RI30. Good luck :-)

    Level 1, Day 4 complete! Keep it up ladies.... we'll have toned bodies for summer yet!

    Level 2 day 1 complete. Have mixed feelings about this week...the moves will take some time to be perfected, because of which my calorie burn today was not that high...around 360 calories. I was expecting to burn more than 400. Need to learn how to do those spider crawls and the abs workout in the last circuit properly.

    Spider crawls? I am scared already, lol!

    I think I did better with those spider crawls and "tabletop" moves. I woke up with a sore back and extremely sore wrists! Week 2 is definitely tough on my wrists. Did D2W2 today! Glad to be another day closer towards the completion.

    W1, Day 5 done! The running man was easier today than earlier this week ~ I take that as a good sign. Ruhimaach, is it safe to say that Week 2 has more plank exersizes? I was not a fan of mountain climbers in 30DS, plank jacks were ok though.

    Woo hoo! Good job! I remember running man feeling a little easier around days 5,6,7 as well :wink: Like Jillian says, "Raise those arms higher!!" ;) How many days are u planning on spending for each week? I did 7 days of Week 1. Thinking of doing 7 days of week 2 as well.

    Jillian went quite crazy in Week 2 for sure- Plank jacks, mountain climbers, spider crawls, and one another move in the plank position where you jump and bring both your feet near and chest and then push back into plank position (dont know what it's called?)...ugh! My wrists are hurting terribly tonight.

    Hi everybody!
    Just finished day 5 on level 1 and just decided to move on to level 2. How many times per level have you guys planned to do?
    I just zapped through level 2 and as somebody else was saying, Jillian is really stepping it up, it looks really tuff and I think I might
    do level 2 for ten days or so, so I really get the hang of it.
    Do you guys do the advanced or the modified versions of the moves? Or do you alternate between the sets? I mix it up a lot but mostly do the modified. How heavy are youre weights, I work with 2 kgs dumbells, its a little over 4 pounds per dumbell.

    L1, Day 6 done! One more day of Level 1 and I am moving on. My plan is to do each level for 7 days, we'll see how that goes. I won't be done in 28 days (4 levels @ 7 days a week) but so far I've only missed one day so I should be done within 30 :]

    Medoria - I do a bit both versions (modified & advanced), it depends on the exersize. I don't to military push ups, so those are modified, I do most squat and lunch exersizes advanced, most ab exersizes I do the modified version, cardio moves I do but kicks advanced and the rest seem to be the same as each other from I can recall. I guess it depends on if I gas out or not, the running man is definately easier now, I was stopping before they did on the second set, today I didn't have to stop!

    D3 Week 2 done. Had very little motivation to workout tonight...:indifferent:

    Anyway, I try to do almost all the exercises "advanced". If I get too tired, I revert to the "modified" versions. Even though my calorie burn remains within 20-30 of doing it either way, I've noticed that I sweat more and my heart rate is much higher when I do "advanced" moves. So, yeah, not much of a benefit calorie wise...

    I am doing each level for 7 days, for a total of 28 days. I am planning on doing Level 3 and Level 4 for 8 days each. So that'll bring my total to 30 days. I try to exercise 5-6x per week.

    EDIT: I use 2-3 lb weights. That's all I have. I could use 5 lb for some exercises, but I don't want to buy them right now.

    D4W2 done. I am getting sick of week 2 already. Might take a break tomorrow... :grumble:

    I'm on week one day two tonight.....I like it so far, it's a good workout in a short period of time. I was doing Turbofire but I hurt my ankle so I started ripped, easier on my ankle. I ordered the 6 week to a 6 pack and I'm going to do both together; my belly is my "problem" area. Good luck to everyone on their journey!

    Level 2, Day 1 this morning. Not a bad workout but I definately do not like two plank moves in a row for the cardio in circuit 2. I think I'll do the plank jacks then high knees instead of the mountain climbers. Two planks in a row is hard on the wrists. Some of the ab moves are pretty hard to do as well, I am on the modified version for half of them.

    I am also on D2W1 today. It was pretty good. I like that she changes it up so much but then does a repeat of the moves. I am curious about week 2. The moves weren't too difficult for me- I think because I have done 10 minute trainer for a couple weeks but I am not getting any results so far with ten minute trainer so I decided to try the Jillian Ripped video to see if I can jump start this. My problem is my belly area...need to lose 10 pounds which will put me back to my comfortable weight...jeez it gets harder after 40 doesn't it!

    W2 D1 for me. I knew it was going to be tuff, but I couldnt imagine it would be this hard!
    I agree that its hard to do two cardiomoves that both are plankmoves, and I have a hard time with the crowpush ups or what ever Jillian calls them. The second circuit is both tricky when it comes to tecnique as well as stamina, I was swetting like a pig!
    But its fun to do some new stuff, she´s really creative when it comes to variation.
    I think it might take my body at least two more times to make everything fall in to place, so the goal right now is to do W2 for at least 7 times, probably more.

    D5W2 done. Didn't sweat as much today. Also, I found myself really bored with the exercise routine...Not sure if I should start mixing it up with some other DVD? I didn't want to mix because I am kind of a weirdo who likes to "Complete" stuff. :embarassed: If I mix DVDs, it'll take longer to get done with Ripped...anybody has any suggestions? What do you guys do?
