Yesterday was quite a workout plus I did it after doing too Biggest Loser Power walks. One with weights so I was so ready to throw my weights out the window during Ripped in 30 but I didnt!! Today is a rest day but I really wanna just get it out the way so I can relax the whole weekend.
I find the constant strain on the arms/shoulders so tough with so many different plank exercises, who would have thought so many could exist??!0 -
Day 3, week 2 completed. Not too much to say, actually. Possibly slightly easier again? My triceps and .. er ... bottom are suffering somewhat, but in Shelley's words, allegedly, BRING IT! I'm warming to Shelley a bit. Almost hoping to see her again in week 3.

Definately feeling the burn in level 2!!! LOL
LOL! That's making me look forward to it!! My body was getting too used to the workouts I was (and still am) doing and while i feel the burn during them, I wasn't feeling that sore but oh so satisfying burn the next day anymore and I kind of missed it!! Felt that last night and a little bit today so hopefully I'm switching things up enough by adding in this DVD workout 5-6 days a week to spur on some more positive changes in my body!
I'm sure you'll see those changes sooner than later, Ripped really works it all.0 -
Day 3 level 2 done....still finding it hard.
Jillian really spurs me on when she says "you're not going to die" lol, so right and makes me get on with it!!0 -

I knew it, you want to be Shelley!!!

Okay... I'm a little late getting started, but I got it done. :bigsmile:
Day 1/Week 1... Done.
I got a pretty good burn out of it. (wore my HRM) My shoulders are feeling it some. I'm sure I'll feel a little more after waking up in the morning. Have to get hubby up and moving shortly, then I'll score some sleep time myself. I tend to struggle with a little bit of insomnia, so I use exercise at night to wear me out. However, I worry that when I start getting in better shape, that it will start to backfire on me and start giving me energy instead... LOL!! I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
Congrats everyone for their progress thus far!! YAY!0 -
Good start Shannon! Out of interest what did your HRM say you burned? I think mine is overestimating at 400 cals, unless i'm really unfit! I just finished week 1, it gets easier every day, honest...
I work out in the evening if i need to stay up late- it does tire my body, but seems to wake me up too. Whatever works for you!

400 calories???
I'm generally between 200 and 250. Does that mean I'm not working hard enough? Oh heck!
(Smileys not working, or would add a glum face.)0 -
Heh! I think it means either i'm insanely unfit or my calculations are wrong! I need a new HRM. I work it out from average HR 160 for 30 mins.
On the plus side i just started week 2- that's a lot of planking!! Feeling a bit wobbly but will do it again tomorrow.0 -
According to my HRM I average between 240-300 calories during Ripped in 30.0

Getting ready to start Week 2 Day 3 today sometime! I already did an hour of Wii Active 2 9 week challenge, so I save the JMs for at night after dinner. Then I take a nice hot shower and either read a book or just relax in bed.
Is this week bothering anyone's wrists?? Maybe b/c I'm really heavy, but it seems like my wrists can't handle my bodyweight anymore. After 3-5 reps of something I'm finding myself taking a break ... ugh.
Also, silly question. Do any of you exercise bare foot??0 -

I used to workout barefoot but found myself slipping alot, so I went and bought some trainers just for working out in the house, as we don't wear shoes inside. It's made so much difference, feel so much more stable!0 -
Forgot to add i'm burning just over 290 cals for Ripped.....it was about 220ish for 30ds, that's quite a difference i think, no wonder i'm finding it tough!!0

No, my wrists are OK, but my poor little arms always struggle to hold up my body (I feel it in the biceps mostly).
I have feet problems generally and can't cope without orthotics, so I have to wear trainers.
Off to do day 4 now.0 -
hey everyone. sorry to say i quit!
i finished week 1 on sunday and was due to start week 2 on monday but after a few bad days at the weekend i was feeling rough on monday so took my day off. started week 2 on tuesday but hated it! crow pushups are soo tough! and there were a few moves that i found over complicated. climb up ur own leg? wtf? lol. sad to say i stopped the dvd after 25 mins and hit the treadmill and exercise bike to finish off.
cant put my finger on why i quit but i was just feeling p*ssed off. didnt do anything on wednesday nite. but glad to say i came to my senses today and jumped back in. got thru it all this time and also finished the rest of circuit 3 that i quit on tuesday nite. and it didnt seem as annoying as what i remembered. there were a couple of ab moves that i didnt like/couldnt really do so i just either modified them or done crunches. i guess thats better than quitting!
so with 2 days off already this week it means i have to squeeze 4 more workouts into friday, saturday and sunday. going for back to back workouts tomorrow nite to catch up to where i should be.
kind of annoyed with myself for quitting but at least i came to my senses quickly enough and i'm back on it. feel free to shout at me if i dont update daily anymore!! lol
cant leave without mentioning crow push ups again! lol. obviously being a guy i'm doing the 'proper' version but i cant believe how much harder they are than 'normal' push ups. i daren't even think what level 3 and 4 is gonna be like. but dont let me quit!!!0 -
OK. 206 calories to the end of the cooldown only.
Also, I am proud to report no modifications, both sets of mountain climbers, and mostly 3kg weights. Well come on, the Olympics are just around the corner now ... *delerious laugh*.0 -

I was wondering what had happened to you...saw you haven't been on here a few days.
Well done for jumping back in!! I get what you went through, i alternate with thoughts of "omg i can't do this" to "FFS it's less than half an hour, just do it" lol!!
OK, we'll keep a closer eye on you!!!0 -
To be fair, week 2 IS a bit weird, all the planks, floor work (even cardio on on the floor!), it's not as balanced as week 1. I'm going to stick it out and hope week 3 is better!0

Yes, I was wondering too. I'm sorry to hear that it got you down, but really pleased to have you back on board. Week 2 is STRANGE anyway. Maybe she was scraping the barrel, trying to find new exercises? Took me ages just to understand some of the moves; I still have to stop and work out how to do the crow push-ups each time! Do stay with it, GD, we miss you when you are not around. :-)0 -
Day 3 of Week 2 done! my wrists def start to get a bit sore during the 2 minute plank cardio section, but mainly i feel it in my arms.. i can make it thru the plank jumps fine but those dang mt. climbers argh! oh and the thrusts i end up modifying as well.. day 4 tomorrow!0

Day 2/Week 1... Done!
My HRM gives me a burn of anywhere between 400-600, depending on how much effort I can put into it. I'm 198 lbs (which is awesome considering my all time highest was 232!!) & cardio really gets me winded, which I'm sure is where I get a lot of my burn from. I usually have to stop to catch my breath at least once each cardio circuit. (I'm outta shape) I do notice, however, that the more fit I become (as the workouts go on) the lower my HRM count gets while following Jillian's workouts. Which is usually when I start increasing weights and pushing harder. It doesn't drop a ton, but it does come down some due to my heart not having to freak out to keep up... ROFL!!! Usually, when it starts reading in the 300's, or lower, I start adding in other exercises through the day. 0 -
OUCCCHHHHH!!! week 2 day 2 just about killed me. I really had to force myself to do it cos i was really hurting from day 1 AND got period pain. And now I'm on a 12 hour night shift... I'll be glad when this week's over, so sick of PLANKS!! Lots of modifications for me.
Thinking of the results...thinking of the results.....0 -
Day 4, level 2 done!!
Finally I didn't find it too tough, yay!!!! Even with my baby adding extra resistance and throwing a bouncy ball at me lol!!
Maybe the rest day helped or i just got used to it, also my cals burnt was lower at 267 whereas previously getting over 290!
So there is hope guys...should be smileys in this post, but they aren't working : D0 -

I feel it in my shoulders.
Does anyone else have their hands slipping during the cardio planks? I have to shuffle back into place!0 -

I have trouble here too because i find my hands need to be a bit further forward than just below shoulders, they don't slip cos i have a towel on a yoga mat, but i don't think my position is right! Need a full length gym mirror i guess
I'm sure Jillian won't kill us for a bit of shuffling....?0 -

Yeah i'm always wondering if i'm in the right position! I also put my hands a bit more forward.
Shhh, let's keep it quiet we don't want the wrath of Jillian!!0 -

Well i live in the middle east so i'm hoping she won't knock on my front door, but sometimes she does look like she'll leap out of the telly!0 -
