Ripped in 30 w/ Jillian M. Who's in?!?!

Week 3 day 1 done. Am I the only one who thinks week 2 was harder than week 3? For some reason, I just did not enjoy week 2. It must target my weak zones! I probably should do it more because of that, but I was ready to move on and actually enjoyed week 3! Sick, I know!
I totally agree!! Week 2 was brutal compared to week 3!! I also enjoy week 3!0 -
W3D2 Finished! Im enjoying week 3. Had a hard time finishing week 2 strong! I just realized this a.m. that I only have 12 left of Ri30!!! Im stoked. I didn't stop nearly as many times today. And I got my little sister to do the 30DS today! She has been putting it off for a long time! I hope I can keep her motivated!0

I know I'm a little behind some of you but I finished week one yesterday and will start week 2 this today. I just felt like pushing myself at the gym one of the days instead of listening to Jillian and a few days I didn't have enough time in between night shifts to fit it in due to trying to sleep and back to school stuff for the kids. I can't wait for level 2 although I am worried because of everyone's posts. Is it really that bad??0

finished w2d3 this morning, leaving for camping today will be gone til monday...be back on track then0

totally agree with you Beauty that Jillian seems to race through this level. The other workouts were taking about 35 minutes to complete through and this one is 32 so she did cut out some downtime I guess. W3D2 done today. Ready for a rest tommorow.
Tess week 2 is hard because you do a lot of moves in the plank position. It just gets really hard on your arms after so many. My wrists were killing me too. good luck!0 -
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! hahaha! I know its important not to take little rest breaks (the 5 second ones to catch your breath), but I feel like if she gave us that time between the exercises I wouldn't do so much during the reps!
W3D4 done for me! 3 more days on this level. Gotta power through it! Duck squats are brutal, but I like the pain because it means I'm working that part of my body!
My legs have slimmed down so much with JM's DVDs, but I really wish my thighs and hips would benefit more from the workouts and lose inches there! I should be in about a size 8, but my hips and thighs are so big that 11s are what I'm comfortable in and I can almost squeeze into 9s!0 -
Day 1 of week 2 done. I hate the back to back plank moves! She makes me crack up though when she goes overboard with the motivation, growling and pretending to "bite" her assistants:)0

I bought Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 and tried doing it yesterday and I couldn't even make it through the entire workout. I was so sore today that even walking around hurts. I decided to take today off and try again tomorrow! Glad to see that others are doing this workout! I might just have to check in from time to time. After my attempt at it yesterday, I really wanted to just give it up. I have it in my mind that it is impossible for me.

Nothings impossible! It just takes time! We don't all start out able to complete the whole DVD. You gotta build up to it! Don't be discouraged just because of one hard day! You also have to work through the pain sometimes because its proving that you're getting stronger! I hope you stick with it and we are all here to keep you motivated! You'll be happy you stayed dedicated if you choose that path!!
Today I bought a size 6 in jeans and that's down from a 13 at the beginning of the summer. I owe it all to 30DS and RI30!0 -

Thank you so much for your encouragement! I'm so hard on myself and maybe too hard. I have actually lost over 30 already before starting myfitnesspal. Was in a junior size 13 jean..I am now down 2 sizes! I would LOVE to go buy a size 6 like you did! That inspired me girl!! Tomorrow is definitely a new day. I will be trying the Ripped in 30 again tomorrow. I have to prove to myself that I can do it
I WILL WORK THROUGH THE PAIN! NO PAIN NO GAIN!! 0 -
My wrists were killing me too. good luck!
I'm so glad that someone else feels the same way!! There's times where I have to stop, just to give my wrists a break!!
Sorry to intrude, I"m doing Ri30 too, and saw this post!0 -

Congrats on your loss so far! Thats fantastic! I've worn juniors size 13 for so long! I'm all over the board in sizes now - shopping at stores like Kohl's 11's still fit me comfortably, but I can squeeze into 9s. As for other stores, 8s and now I guess even 6s fit me! I'm glad I could inspire you! We are all here to keep you motivated and help you through your struggles! You are too hard on yourself because you can do it and you just have to first train your mind to think and go about the workout in a positive manner and your body will follow! I've battled with negativity during my workouts and it makes them that much harder to complete! You're so true about the no pain no gain part! Good luck!
As for the wrist deal mentioned above..the bones in my wrist like click on some of the exercises. That's definitely not a goood thing I don't think haha. They are so skinny though compared to the rest of my body.. It's like how can they hold the weight of my entire upper body for some exercises! haha.0 -
W1D2 = Success!! I made it through it after highly doubting myself!! ;-)0
-
Way to go Tiffany! So proud of you! You're going to feel it today and tomorrow, so consider taking some advil for the pain, but don't give up!!!
As for me, W3D5 is complete! That means 2 more days of week 3 for me and it's on to week 4! So exciting! My workout was great today and really helped raise my mood! So thankful for that! I'm getting better at everything too and even used my handweights for a few of the reps of that ab one when you're supposed to raise your dumbbell to the opposite food and back down!0 -
Negativity is out the window! I'm learning that my workouts aren't about perfection, but about the effort!!!0
-
Week 2 is officially done! THANK GOD
I was so discouraged at first but by the 3rd day, my moves were all improving so don't give up guys! Taking a break tomorrow and going to the beach, then I shall be back on the 3rd Week by Monday.
I can't believe I'm half way done! I'm so excited to reach Week 4 by the beginning of September because that's when school starts and I want to be ripped by then *fingers crossed*
Keep it up ladies! You're all doing fantastic0 -
^^ Congrats! I know what you mean I went through that same discouragement in week 3, but I am getting so much stronger, so its exciting! I have 5 days until I move back to school so I will only get half way through week 4... Such a bummer! But I will bring the DVD and handweights there in case I want to start the dvd again after I get settled in!
W3D6 done for me! One more day and then its on to week 4. Part of me feels like skipping the last day and moving on right away so I have longer with that last level. What are your thoughts?0 -
I started week 4 today! It was rough but I still think week 3 is worse. I did have to switch back to 3lb weights and follow the modified moves for part of it but I'm looking forward to mastering this one!0
-
Wow!!! You are all so amazing! My life has been super crazy lately so I really don't have a whole lot of free time. I just wanted to stop in and let everyone know that I haven't forgotten about you! I too am still working out and finished w3D5 today!!! Only 2 more days and then Im on to the home stretch!! Hopefully tonight I can have some down time to get back in here and chat with all of you!!!0
-
W 2 day 2 done. My knees and wrists are screaming but I got a good workout;)0
-
2 days off with a mini vacation to the beach! really needed the workout this morning. I went overboard this weekend!:sick:
W3D3 for me today. Glad to hear everyone is doing so well. keep up the good work.0 -
I finished Week 3 this morning!
ON to the final week tomorrow! I will only get halfway through it but that's better than nothing!!
I lost my measuring tape so I can't check my progress that way. 0 -
^ Hi! I hope you're moving in goes well and everything! Congrats on finishing week 3, I just started it today and it's definitely a good workout. I hate to say it...but I found Jillian to be really encouraging this week..and I think this might be my favorite week so far
Good luck with Week 4, you got this! Do what you can until you move back to school, and hopefully continue until the very end when you find the time. You should definitely be proud that you've made it this far! All of you here have been doing great so keep on keeping on.
I had a question about Week 3...the very last ab move in the 3rd circuit is somewhat like a leg lift while doing a crunch and raising your hands. I can't seem to do either of them (not the advanced or modified). I can bring my upper body and hands up but my legs just won't raise up. Any tips? I ended up doing the move while my legs laid flat on the ground =/0 -
W4D1 done!
Why do I feel like its half yoga poses? Theres like a cresent pose and swan dive thing and the downward dog again.. I don't know how to do them that well! I haven't really taken yoga before except for the occasional day in high school aerobics class.
This week is HARD!!!!!! But it felt good! I love how she lets you lie down for like 1.5 minutes at the end and just breathe. I think that's my favorite part of the DVD.. LOL!!!! But seriously, lol!0 -

yeah you have to lift your legs and reach for your toes with your arms in one move. try bending your knees a little that might help.
W3D5 for me today. Ready for this week to be over. The tricep dips really kill me for some reason. I can't believe how weak my triceps are. Plus I have the whole hurting wrists thing again with it!0 -

That actually sounds good to me. I love yoga!! I am going to start doing it again once I lose all the weight I want to. I doesn't really burn calories so I havent done it in a long time. I can tell now that she is preparing for those poses with a little bit in week 3 with the storks and the balance moves she does. The laying there for awhile like you said she does is typical yoga as well. Good luck with week 4.0 -
Ahh so I took a couple days off. I guess you could say I was getting bored and so I stopped working as hard. I guess starting this immediately after the 30DS wasn't a good idea.
So I had already completely 21 days. Then after my break (which was 4 days) I decided to give it another shot. I started week 4 just so I wasn't doing something I had already done. and it was soo difficult. and again, I felt like I wasn't working as hard. I'm not sure why I give up so easily now. what happened to my motivation?
So all of you who are doing this consistently - kudos to you! you are doing great! I am so anxious to get back to college to use the gym and participate in the group fit classes that are offered. so hopefully that change will help me get back on track. im still going to shoot to complete the 30 days though.0 -
I finished W4D2 this morning! I think I'm going to have to stop after tomorrow's workout because of leaving for college, but I'll bring the DVD up with me along with my weights and get it done when I'm too lazy to go to the gym, or my muscles shrink again.. haha.
It was much more enjoyable today!0 -
W3D6 for me. One more day left of week 3 and really excited about that. I am really happy with my progress so far and feel like everything I have been learning this past 9 months is finally coming together! :happy:0

I want to take a moment to thank all of you who are working through Ripped and checking in here throughout the last 4 weeks! You have all been so great. I know that I've had my moments where I seriously just wanted to throw in the towel, but thanks to all of you wonderful ladies, I haven't. And at this point I know I've come to far to quit now. Thank you for the support, the dedication and motivation you all bring to this group! I really appreciate it! Thank YOU!!!!
Today I began W4D1 of Ripped in 30! It was great! And for the first day, I think I might love it. It may be my favorite week. It was challenging, but I have to say that Im only sore in my shoulders (for now) I really enjoy the warm up too.I don't have all of the positions to exact form quite yet, but after all, it was day 1! C'mon week 4! Help kick me into overdrive and really lose some inches!!!0
