    Hey all!! Just wanted to say congrats to all of you who are going strong with this! A few of you in level 2 already! It seems that most of you are doing 6 days + 1 rest day in each level...I was thinking of doing ten at each level (like 30DS), maybe with a rest day in the middle and at the end of each? That would make it just over 40 days. Do you think this would be too much with this workout? I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know what it's like. Thanks for any advice :smile: you're all doing fantastic and I can't wait to join you!!!

    everyone is doing great!!! I will totally be just starting when you all are finishing! I still can't decide if I wanna start on the 20th so my days off are Fridays (I usually stay out late Thurs night) OR if I wanna start the 24th so my days off are Tuesdays (My last of 3- 12hr night shifts) ANY SUGGESTIONS???

    I can't believe how quick these days go though...i suppose with only 6 days at each level vs the 10 on the shred...it does go quick!!

    good morning everyone,

    I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have a cold and couldn't get myself up to start level 2 this morning but tomorrow I am getting up even if I still feel like crap! I did finish level 1 on Saturday. Glad that's over! Also going back to Bikram yoga again on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to restarting it but hope it doesn't wipe me out to much. I wanted to start that today as well but with this cough I think I might cough up a lung in the 105 degree room.

    Des--I think doing 10 days per level would be an ambitious goal, but I wouldn't do it until at least level 2. Since you did the 30DS, level 1 won't be that much of a challenge after a week...and maybe not even level 2.

    Tara--I personally would want the day after party night off just so I wouldn't have the excuse of a hangover or whathaveyou

    Ok- so 8lbs weights through the whole workout killed my form, so I used 8lbs weights for the first set of each exercise and then 5lbs weights for the second set- seemed to work much better!!! Day 3 done!!! I can't wait to get out of L1 though- it bores the heck out of me- even on mute!

    Grace-I wasn't sore after doing this one, but a lot of us started out doing JM's 30 day shred...I was so sore after day 1 & 2 that it hurt to squat to sit down and I was limping most of the first week! I pushed thru and still exercised (the warm up definately helps) and it went away by around day 5 or 7

    Wow...day 2 of level 2 wasn't an easier! All those damn plank moves! At least the V-raises weren't added in this one! (still hate those the most) :drinker:

    Awesome job to all of those that have started and keeping it up! Remember, if you are sore, don't let that discourage you from doing the routine that day...you can push thru it and it will loosen up! :ohwell:

    Started L2 yesterday ... whoa nelly, that JM is sure one tough cookie. I could not for the life of me figure out how to do those planks and raise my leg to my shoulder at the same time ... I felt like I wasn't coordinated enough! Although I found myself not challenged by the modifier as much this time ... I did some moves that were the advanced (following Shelly). Do you guys feel this way??

    This morning my calves are sore a bit, but looking forward to week 2.

    I've been reading y'alls posts, and noticed that many of you are saying that 30DS makes RI30 seem easier?? Would you suggest to do 30DS after RI30?? I was planning on making that my next routine. Should I just stick with RI30?

    Level 2 day 1 done! LDV I'm with you on the plank leg raises. I'm don't feel corrdinated enough to get the full effect of them. My arms are a little short so the ab move where you sit and bring your butt up was a challange to do as well. Everything else was great.

    A couple of feedbacks:
    Erica--I ended up having to elevate up onto my fingers to do the table raises (or whatever they are called) and it ended up actually making it easier all around (not a fist...put hand flat on the ground then straight arm thru the palm and put weight on fingers-like the advanced person is doing)

    Steph/Erica-on the crows...I can only do push-ups on my knees, so I don't think the crow planks work well that way. I ended up putting myself in plank position and just lifted up my knees but didn't go down into push-up...this is working me out better than being on my knees...I think it is still good form, just works abs and arms w/o doing push ups

    Steph--Keep going w/ RI30 since you have started, but if it ends up getting too hard and you find yourself quitting, then go back and do the 30DS. I think once you finish the RI30, then the 30DS may not be enough of a challenge, but it may be. Try it out and see, but may have to start on level 2...but who knows! :)

    Day3 level 2 done! was easier today, but im modifying a few things, like the crows im doing the same as you Kory, plank with pulling a leg up am also finding the serving bicep move hard too so im doing every second movement as a bicep serve and alternating it with a bicep curl.

    This month is flying by, the 10th here already (im in NZ)

    Hey all, in prep for Ripped in 30, I have a question for all of you who are now experts! I am using 3 pound weights for 30DS, although I may move up soon to 5 lbs. I see most of you are using heavier weights for RI30, do I need to get heavier ones? I was kind of assuming that since it is harder, I would still be using 3 lbs. Let me know what y'all think!
    Thanks!
    Jen
