    Thanks MochaBlues!

    And thank you for reminding me that I'm due for "After 30DS" pics in a few days. Yikes. I best go do some heavy duty shredding now.

    I havent finished the Shred (this is my 4th attempt)....but Im wondering if I should keep trying to finish or just start something new cause maybe I will like Ripped better....

    PLus you get rest days :love:

    I'd say start something new with our group. You'd be surprised at how motivating it is to do something with a group!

    Question for those of you who've done this before, how is the upperbody portion of the workout? I have neck/shoulder injury and have to modify some of the pushup type moves in 30DS, are there tons of sideplanks and planks in Ripped? Thanks!

    I haven't looked at it yet, so I can't answer.... I hope to take a look at it on Saturday...

    Silverkittycat- LOVE to have you join us!

    To the other poster, regarding how this works, well generally we all check in daily or sporadically (your choice) as to updates working through the program. What level you're on, how's it going? etc... (mumble, grumble, i.e. somehow stumble your way through it :sad: :bigsmile: :laugh: ....accountability factor!

    Also before you begin you are to take your measurements and before photos, (so you have something to compare on your after) or even half way through if you start getting discouraged.

    Be sure not to skip that step, as sometimes the measurements and i.e. photos are your proof its working as the scale may not always reflect it.

    My philosophy is the more the merrier!

    You and I think SOOOO much alike! Hugs to Mocha!!

    *Bumping for more participation*

    Yes, that means YOU!:noway: What's that you say...How can you participate? :smooched:

    I'm so glad you asked its SIMPLE....we haven't started yet, so there's still TIME! :drinker:

    #1 Just dust off or go get your copy of Jillian Michaels "Ripped in 30" DVD, you can find it in your closet underneath all those shoes...OR at Target, Wal-mart, Amazon, Ebay, collagevideo and the like.

    We START on MONDAY OCTOBER 3rd!:bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

    What else I gotta do MochaBlues??

    #2 Next, its simple you just have to take your smart phone/camera, and look into a full length mirror and snap a picture of yourself. :embarassed: :laugh:

    What that' you say? You don't have a full length mirror? Don't fret, ....got a solution, go to the dressing room of any major department store, take your camera phone out and snap away. ( You know in front of that mirror that always makes you look stunning)

    #3 Next take your measurements, i.e. waist, arm, legs, etc.:smokin:


    #4 Then, on MONDAY - OCTOBER 3rd , check in on this thread for day 1, and let us all KNOW how it went. (repeat step 4- at your pleasure over the next 30 days):drinker:

    ****IMPORTANT*** DO NOT SKIP over steps 2 & 3, these are important as they are EVIDENCE/PROOF that its working as the scale sometimes doesn't always reflect it, HOWEVER INCHES and pictures do!

    What's that you say? You're worried about posting your pics? Don't worry....MochaBlues is NOT going to insist that you post your pics for anyone but yourself! The pics are for YOU to see just how far you've come along...when or if you start getting discouraged...(it happens):flowerforyou:

    Okay....let's get ready to rumble...MONDAY, OCTOBER 3rd will be here in NO TIME! Let's get RIPPED!!!!:laugh: :happy: :drinker:

    Oh, and check in and let us know you're in!

    This sounds great, but my only concern is that I haven't done 30DS and it seems like that's what everyone does first. Can anyone comment on the level of difficulty between the two?

    Sorry Kim, 30 DS was my first JM experience. I don't think it matters though as she starts you off on Level 1 and you can modify the intensity of most moves to suit you, so I would say JOIN US!

    Got my Ripped in 30 yesterday AND Killer Buns and thighs! I was feeling bored this morning with nothing to do and so I decided it would be good fun (I must be coming down with something) to try KBnT L1! Its definitely going to be worth it - we'll have to think of starting that one after Ri30!

    So can't wait to start Ripped in 30 on Monday! Feel like I have nothing to do for the next few days :(

    Count me in too.
    I came upto Level 2 Day 3 about 3 months back and then moved house and all things happened.

    Now trying to do Zumba to get back into workout mode.
    I shall start from October 3rd the Monday

    One question though: JM says do it for atleast 5 days a week.
    Do you do all 7 days or Monday through Friday and give the body a rest?

    Kim, I don't think it will be a problem. I've talked to a lot of people who actually did "Ripped" first because it's the newer workout. I'm going to preview it on Saturday so I'll let you know what I think

    ROCK ON!!! :tongue:

    cmDaffy - I think I might preview it this weekend too, great idea. :smile:

    pakks - I'm going to wait and see how I feel before committing to more than 4/5 days a week. I'd like to do it 5 days per week, with 2 rest days where I fit in some yoga focused on stretching. I've no idea how I'll feel until I start it. I am finishing up the 30DS now, and even though I've done it daily there have been several days where I've modified to the point that I don't use barbells and really take it easy. Sort of like a "light" version. :wink:


    I wonder what this JM Rip 60 Fitness set is? http://home-exercise-equipment.blogspot.com/2011/07/jillian-michaels-rip-60-fitness-dvd-set.html
    I could strap it up to a tree?! :laugh:

    Thanks for the feedback! OK, I'm gonna go for it! You guys have me excited! I'm going to try to pick it up today and also purchase a heart rate monitor to track the calories burned. Does anyone have one that they recommend? From the websites I am leaning towards the Polar FT4 or FT40F, but am open to suggestions.
