Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30

Juliane1986

Good luck with supplies. It was getting thin when I went last night. But around here the stores arranged an emergency truck to come so maybe they did the same there. I would hate to be on my own for this but I'm a wimp. Where are you from? make sure you stay in touch with your family and friends!

I'm in West New York, Nj. Right across the hudson river form the upper west side of NYC. I'll definitely be in touch with family! I'll be banging on the neighbours doors too if it gets bad.

Stay safe all you east coasters this weekend. Hoping this is all hyped up and not gonna be as bad as it seems. Hope everyone's workouts are going well!

Hiya guys! My last post was Tuesday; work got busy the remainder of the week and I have been trying to keep up with exercising.

Wed: Did C25K Week 4 Day 1 and Jillian Michael Six Week Six Pack Level 1
Thurs: Ripped Week 2 Day 2. Skipped the Abs DVD because it was late by the time I started the DVD
Fri:...Skipped my workout! Was suppose to go out for a run and I should have because who knows when will be the next time I get a run in thanks to this hurricane! Work was insane yesterday due to Emergency Prep incase we can't get into Manhhattan on Monday. I didn't drink as much water as aI should and I didn't realized I skipped 2 snacks. By the time I go home I was physically empty and had nothing left to put into a workout.

I hope do do Ripped Week 4 Day 3 today as soon as I finish my hurricane prep! No evacuation in my area of Queens, NY yet. Juliane1986, looks like you were evacuated?

Stay safe everyone!!!!!

Today is supposed to be my last day of Ripped. I don't intend to stop but it is day 30. I am having a rough time feeling motivated though. The thought of doing that workout right now makes me want to crawl back in bed. I just have to do it right? It's 20 lousy minutes. LOL.

My town hasn't been evacuated yet, (and I'm really regretting not leaving town now). Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

I can relate. I've been pretty bad with Ripped the last couple of days and with my diet. Feeling a little bit guilty but I'll try and get Ripped in this afternoon after I get back from Aeroboxing at 1pm (if the class is still on!!). Hoping the workout will help me relieve some of this nervous tension building up from the storm coming.

Ugh, I feel so bad for slacking off this weekend. I did Week 3 Day 4 today. School started this week so it's been taking most of my time & work. Keep motivated!!

Good luck! I'm in Northern NJ as well (a little more west though). I just want this thing to get over with already. I finished Ripped finally. I don't exactly feel ripped but I feel good and strong and I'm proud of myself for sticking with both this and the shred. This is the first time in my 37 years that I've stuck with exercise so long. I made a New Years resolution and began running in January and started with Jillian Michael's videos in the beginning of May and I don't plan to stop. I think I'm going to do a shred/ripped hybrid for now and use 5 lb weights for everything (instead of 3). I'm going to see how much I've improved.
Stay safe in the storm everyone!

Finally got back to my workouts! Did w4d1. So 5 more days and I'm done! I can say that week 4 is my favorite workout! I really slacked on my diet this weekend. And honestly had a binge fest. I say I blame it on the hurricane and most of the food that we bought in case the power went out was unhealthy junk food. But it's no ones fault but my own. I'm really regretting it now. And I'm feeling super bloated from it, won't do that again.

I think I'll be doing D1 W2 tomorrow morning. I'm going to watch it tonight though so I can see what I'm in for. I had been doing 30 day shred so between that and then going straight into Ripped I'm definitely seeing results. Now I'm just hoping I will continue to see results during the next 3 weeks. I'll be one happy camper! I think I need another Jillian dvd to add to the mix. I'm thinking 6 week six pack...anyone like that one? I have the Turbo Jam Ab Jam that I do a few times during the week but am getting bored with it even though I really like Charlene too.

Juliane1986

So I've decided to go a slightly different route with my workouts. I've hired a personal trainer and I'm going to be working out with him 2-3 times a week during my lunch break (extending my lunch to an hour and a half by coming into work earlier). I'm also going to be continuing to do my workout classes in the evening and on the weekends (zumba, aeroboxing etc). So I'm going to be using this Jillian Michaels DVD as a supplement to the days when I am unable to make either one of those or feel like I need an extra workout at home.

I'm excited about this change because I believe this personal trainer is seriously going to kick my *kitten* and push me to finally get the body I've always wanted...and I'm not that far away from it. I'll definitely post pictures once I'm there. Keep me posted on how everyone is doing with Ripped and I'll be checking in after I use the DVD myself!

Hi everyone! Due to Hurricane Irene, we lost power late Saturday night/early Sunday morning and did not get power back until today at 1pm. needless to say I have not been getting workouts in. Last workout was Thursday night. I am planning on doing Ripped Week 2 Day 3 tonight after work however it has been a truly exhausting few days and am not sure if I have the energy to. But I will try my best!

Juliane, interesting change you are making! What lead you to make the change?

I find that having someone else to hold me accountable really helps with my will power (or sometimes lack there of), but there are many more reasons than that and I weighed them all into consideration because the financial aspect of having a personal trainer was something I wanted to think about carefully. Honestly I really want someone who is going to push me harder than I will push myself, and that includes working out with a DVD. It's one of the reasons I love taking the classes I take, there's always an instructor to either make it fun or make me work my *kitten* off (perferably both). I knew I wasn't getting enough strength training in to my weekly workouts (even including the JM dvd) at least not enough to accomplish what I want to but I am not a huge fan of going to the gym and doing strength by myself because I don't know what I'm doing. I thought that seeking the training of a professional would guide me better to achieve my goals, achieve them faster and achieve them without injuring myself and looking like a fool.

I wanted to accomplish all of this without taking more time out of my evenings (and I'm NOT a morning person!), as I really miss having some down time at the end of the day. I joined Bally's which is right around the corner from me and I have met an awesome trainer there who is a body builder. He's young, but mature and has accomplished a lot. I know he's going to push me. On top of this my boss has given me permission to come into work a half hour early (which I can handle!) and take an extra half hour on my lunch break to give me enough time to get a full workout in with my trainer. So all in all I feel like this is a good avenue for me to explore and hopefully I'm making the right investment in myself. I know my personality, I struggle with motivating myself to push myself harder. I like knowing though that I have workouts I can turn to at home on days when I may not be able to make it to the gym (for whatever reason) and I plan on sticking with Jillian for that. In fact, my class was cancelled this evening so I will be putting in a workout with her then! I'll keep you all posted on my progress. Really hoping to get that ripped, strong body I am striving towards!

Only two more days of week 4 and then I'm finished! I will post my pictures on Monday and my results. (Monday's are my weigh in days) i actually did week one in combo with the week 4 the other day and I just about breezed through the level one workout. It was awesome lol. Now I plan on doing a combination of the videos I have of hers and I came up with a 30 day plan. Most days I will be doing 2 or more videos a day. The very last day I have all four workouts from ri30 scheduled. Now I won't nessacerly be doing this all at once but probably broken up over the day. Like one video in the morning. And maybe two at night. I'm really thinking that it will give me the boost I need and help get me ready for insanity which I plan on doing next.

Juliane I think hiring a personal trainer was a great decision! And it is defiantly worth the money. I'm hoping to do the same when my girls get older and I can get out of the house more without them. But for now I am doing fine working out at home.

I had started Ripped in 30 the beginning of August but 2 weeks in I got into a car accident and was mildly injured. Its been 2weeks since my accident and I'm feeling much better, just weak.

Starting it up again for September

Thanks! I'm excited to really get into working with him next week! Sounds like you've got an awesome plan set up there. I'm excited to hear how it works out for you and how you feel when your getting ready to start insanity!!

Hey! Just curious how long the Ripped in 30 workout is?

Juliane1986

Hey! Just curious how long the Ripped in 30 workout is?

Hey there! Each of the workouts are only about 25 minutes long. You start off with a warm up, then she splits the work out up into 3 different sets of the following:

3 minutes of strength
2 minutes of cardio
1 minute of abs

You go through thsi 3 times (each round has different exercises) and then a cool down.

Cool, thanks. I already have 30 day shred, thinking about getting this one as well.

Just did her buns and thighs DVD and it was awesome!

I own the JM Ripped in 30 and have done it several times over the past month. Quite challenging!

I vary my workouts daily. I have a collection of Jillian Michaels, Biggest Loser, Turbo Jam, Tae Bo and a few others (yoga and pilates and such). My favorites are Turbo Jam and Jillian Michaels. I feel like I'm getting a better workout with the cardio exercises and maybe that's because I'm burning off fat and finally able to see some inches lost.

My weak areas, where I need the most toning, are the stomach, hips (can you say back fat? yuk!) and inner thighs. I'm working on all over toning though to be lean and sculpted from head to toe.

You should try her new killer buns and thighs dvd. its intense and a great workout. It targets those areas. I just started using so i havent seen results yet but I just know I will.

Started Week 3 and it's a killer! This week is all about legs, which are my worst feature and I know I neglect them! I can really feel the lunges this morning in my bum and thighs!

Great job! Thus DVD really improved my leg strength and the way they look. I love the way my legs look now and I always get people to poke my thighs because they are hard when I flex haha
