cmDaffy

I'm getting excited to start this!

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!!!

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

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.


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:

I will work on getting abck in workout mode this week with some ZUmba

Kim1118

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.

I picked up Ripped and her Yoga DVD for less than $10 each last night at Target. I did the yoga one last night and was swearing at her. Ripped should be fun

MochaBlues

Greetings Fellow Rippers!! :laugh:

I'm so glad to see the participation on this thread and I'm really looking forward to Monday, October 3rd!

First things First EVERYONE is welcome!! Come one, come all! :drinker:

Secondly, I believe someone asked about logistics as to how we're incorporating rest days....Well, (in full disclosure) I've never done Ripped in 30 before, I'm just about done with what I gather will be my 1st Round of the Shred. :huh:
However, there is no hard and fast regimen here! Do what works best for you and your body.

Now, with that said..... I understand its 4 levels, as I still need to crack the cellophane wrapper on my own DVD...but its my undertanding that it is recommended to take a rest day in between levels.

----> My plan was to do 6 full days and take the 7th day as a REST day between the next level, which would ideally account for 4 weeks or 30 days. (umm, I think)

Let's get RIPPED! (monday October 3rd! ) did i already say that??:laugh:

I'm definitely ready to get ripped and the timing is PERFECT!!!

This looks similar to TRX, I've seen some of the local trainers do it. I know TRX systems cost ~$250, so ~$100 isn't bad. It's just a little more than what I want to spend right now (considering I have Groupons for Zumba, Boxing and Yoga!

Sore's a GOOD thing! I'm aiming at 6 days a week, taking either Saturday or Sundays off. I run 7-9 miles on Saturday so I need to decide if I want to add Ripped on top of that, and actually take Sunday as a day of rest, or screw the rest day on Sunday, and just do something EVERY day!

Does her dvd require buying other supplies such as weights, resistance bands, etc?

Hello! It's my understanding that Ripped does require hand/dumbell weights, 3 lb to 5lb is recommended on the DVD.

I'm so excited that everyone is so enthusiastic! Now I know I have people that can kick my *kitten* if I'm feeling lazy and don't want to do my workout!

Gogretchen1

This is exactly the type of thing that I am looking for! The only issue is I haven't done the 30 day Shred..can you start with this one?

thiscanbedone

cmDaffy

65 days of Shredding done, I'm ready to start with "Ripped" on Monday. I'm SO looking forward to something new!

ROCK ON!!!

Bditbobcat

Ah! Still haven't bought my dvd! I will go out tonight though. I am really excited to start this!

@cmDaffy and MochaBlues: You girls are awesome and so enthusiastic!!!

dietfree2012

I played with Ripped in 30 this week and I am excited to continue next week. I am doing week 1 agian, monday -friday and will move on the following week. :happy: So essentially i will be on the same page as u guys

jdavis193

I'll try and do it. I tend to get bored with the same thing so hopefully I get get though it!

I'm hoping with 4 different workouts, it will hold my interest, too!

I have been doing this video it's good. it's harder then her 30 day shred. I do it 3-4x a week and I do two more videos in between I can't do the same video every day. Good luck!!

MochaBlues

Great Love to have you!! 3 More Days Ladies!!

To anyone new....Here's the business:

*Bumping for more participation*

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

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

#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!

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.

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.


#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)

****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)

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

hjollyrn

Ok! I'm ready to go! Took my before pics and measurements today and I'm ready to get started on Monday! Let's get "ripped"!!
