Hi-I just started Ripped in 30 tonight. I didn't get the full effect because my weights were only 1.5 pounds I will have to buy some tomorrow. How heavy are your alls weights? I can definitely feel those lunges though! This is the first time I have done an "at home program" I am usually just a runner so I am ready to see what circuit training does for my body. Lets keep this up! I need some motivation as well.
i have been using 8 lb for most except side lunges, i use 5 for those mostly b/c it is my least favourite exercise! I will see if I can keep it up I am only on day 4 of week 1. Love this w/o !
I also alternate with running and weight training. I find ripped in 30 really helps with the toning.0 -
Okay, here I am. It's Sunday and yes, I did my Ripped workout today. I just didn't want to take the day off. Day 7 of week 1 :happy:
I feel ready to move on to week 2 tomorrow.
doverx4: I would have taken a sneak peek at week 2 when I was finished but I had my son waiting on the PS3 to play his video game....LOL (I use it to play my DVD's).0 -
not lookin' forward to Jillian today
Just 30 minutes and I'll be done with her...for today. The longest 30 minutes EVER when you don't want to do it!!!!! 3 MORE WEEKS????? Heaven help me!!!!!

Finished with Week 1!!!!! It's bad when you look forward to the 1 minute abs just so you can lay down....lmbo!!! Her 3-2-1 method is soooo do-able! Just when it's getting hard you know there's an end in sight! So glad all of you are in this with me
Kat0310: What I'm NOT looking forward to in tomorrow is, like in 30DS, she has you in the push-up position for the whole cardio segment in the first round....man I hated that in 30DS....killer! Guess we'll cry together tomorrow....lol! Then again, maybe it's just me? I have found that I'm not cussing her in this one like I did in 30DS???? BUT, I'm not in Week 3 & 4 yet0 -
yeah.. holding plank for that long is insane. I am weak and shaking the whole time. I usually have to break inbetween exercises or else I'm falling flat on my face at one point.0

Did day 1 of week 2 this morning. I hated it. Not because I thought it was too hard, well, the hard part for me is coordination. I have none. It seemed to me like some of the moves required a bit of coordination - not good for me. There really were only a couple moves that I felt were working on me, otherwise, I really didn't get much out of it. The only part that had me feeling worked was the plank segment in circuit 1 (I think it was the first circuit), with the plank jacks and mountain climbers. I did those in 30 DS and was kinda used to them but they are very tiring. I actually feel like I need to do something else later on today to make up for some calorie burn
Tomorrow I plan on going back to week 1 for a couple days then maybe start on week 3 by the end of the week and just work that one a little longer to make up for it and still stay on schedule with everyone.
Have a great Monday everyone!0 -

I love Week 2! Did Day 1 today and by the time I was done I was soaked from head to toe. I agree, the coordination part is a challenge, I'm sure I looked more like I was having a seizure rather than a workout. But I kept going - even in my clumsy, strange way. The planks were insane. I can't do the explosive movements because of my knee, but I kept the modified version going with as much intensity as possible. I'm posting some pictures of me before week 1 and after. Not a lot of change, but I see some differences.
I can't wait to see what Week 2 brings, especially since I actually gained 1 1/2 pounds, which I intend to take off this week.
I hope someone else posts pictures, I don't want to feel like an idiot:blushing:

I started Ripped last Monday. I decided to do 5 days (Mon-Fri) of each level before progressing to the next. Today was my first day of Level 2. My first thoughts were that it wasn't that bad, but then I changed my tune
after I looked at my HRM. After the workout (don't do the cool down) I run/walk on my treadmill for another 10 minutes, then cool down. HRM read: 530 calories burned. Total minutes including warm up/cool down: 45

Hey guys, I'm glad you like week 2
. I wish I liked it more but I can't do it if I don't feel like I've accomplished something at the end of the workout. For me it just felt like I spent more time trying to get the moves right and watching them than actually getting a good workout. I will do week 1 for a few days at the "advanced" effort then I'll go to week 3. I hear week 3 is hard!

The moves do require a bit more coordination...which is why I feel like it didn't get my all today. I'm giving it another day or 2 before I decide if I hate it or not.....lol! Then again it's just a week and atleast she's got me moving so I'm guessing I'll stick with it...0 -
I'm starting Ripped in 30 tomorrow. My plan is to do it every other day, alternating it with running.0

I started Ripped In 30 today, and holy crap...that was awesome! I just about died but I can't wait to do it tomorrow :laugh: I also started the C25k but I think I might start again cause I missed some days because of the rain. As far as the RI30, I'm logging it in as circuit training cause I don't have a HRM, I hope that's somewhat accurate. Look out fat girl...the skinny me is breaking free :laugh:0

I'm in the middle of RI30 week 2. That plank will be the death of me! But, I try to do what she says, take a tiny break and comer back, DON'T QUIT! Ha!
I'm using 3lbs weights, but since all of you are mostly using 5, I think I'm going to have to up it.
So far I've lost an inch in my arms (damn you, plank position!) and almost an inch in my waist.0 -
Okay, like I said, I did day 8 of week 1 today. I'll have to wait for tomorrow to see which week/level I feel like doing. I worked it at the highest I could do it (girl on the left...lol).
I'm so glad to see so many of you on here and you're all doing great! Way to go!!!
Have a great Tuesday everyone :happy:0 -
ewwwww weeeeee......Day 2/Week 2.....DONE! How I hate the plank position!!!!! Love that I'm sore today though....from my shoulders to my rear......AWESOME!!! Also love how my 4 year old wants to have a conversation during the workout....WHEN I CAN BARELY BREATHE to begin with....LOL!!!0

Yay! Good Luck! She kicks butt....just remember 3-2-1 and you'll be done before you know it!!!0 -
Okay, I gave week 2 another shot this morning and focused more on "just doing it" and did MUCH better today. I was tired at the end (which is exactly what Jillian wants...lol). I think I got the moves down pretty good today
Yes, those planks are a killer! I am determined to master them though...
Off to go to my son's school and help with field day
Have a great day everyone!0 -
