Week 1 day one: CHECK.
Alright ladies!! Some of us are still at it or in the groove from the 30 day shred challenge and some of us are new to the group and I couldn't be more excited to do this one with all of you! Man was it an actual work out! WOW. I know I'm not that out of shape... I'm honestly just lazy and play all kinds of mind games on myself and if it hurts at all I'll slyly glaze over it or slow down, but I'm going to stick this one through the long haul, oh and WHY IS THE modified version girl SO BUFF??? Is that some kind of hint???
Good luck everyone! This is a great challenge for us all!0 -
D2W1-2 days complete!
I love this DVD and its only day 2 !
Thank goodness for 30ds before this or else I would be so screwed. I'm glad Jillian has already been kicking my butt for 30 days
Hahahaha, I was just thinking the same thing. If I had started with this DVD instead of 30 day shred I don't think I would have gotten through day one without turning it off!!!0 -
Day 1 done! Wow, my butt is kicked!!0

Good morning!!
I took my measurements but they're at home, and I'm not...so I'll have to post them later. I do know my weight was 159.4 and my BMI is 22.9 according to the weigh-in app that I use on my phone.
I'm very proud of myself today! I am soooo against getting up earlier than absolutely necessary - for anything - ever. I value my sleep. I plan my workouts for after work normally. But I do Jazzercise after work on most days, and have started C25K also which I am doing on Tuesdays and Thursdays after work and on a weekend day (at least that's the plan). But, I really wanted to do this Ripped in 30 as well. I wasn't willing to give up Jazzercise more nights, since I already gave up two for the running. Didn't wanna give up my running now that I'm going again - it's kind of a dream of mine to be able to run. And I knew that to think I was going to go home and complete a video every evening of the week after already doing another workout of some sort was just unrealistic...and what about dinner, and the errands, and whatever else may come up along the way, you know? Plus, what about just being able to relax once in a while?!
SO....
I actually got up early this morning. And did the Ripped in 30 video. Hooray for me!! My HRM says I burned 321 calories. Not bad for an early morning!!
WOW that is a great burn, for any time of day for just 30 minutes! WAY TO GO! I'm still waiting for the early morning work out challenge. I can't get up early to save my life, let alone to work out! PSH!0 -
Hello RIPPERS!!! :bigsmile:
I have joined you all!!
I just did the workout for the first time and I have to say I rather enjoyed that!!! :happy:
I'm really pleased that I decided to go right into this workout and not have a break.
For me this level seemed quite a bit easier than doing the shred with heavier weights.
I am using light weights for this level, that is right isn't it?
I still have a horrible cold and feel tired and washed out but I am going to stick at this and I think when I come out the other side I will feel much stronger for pushing through and exercising daily.
Also it's quite good that this doesn't feel too hard to me at the moment as I'm really not up to a really tough workout, I am dreading those planks that she has warned us about, I really don't want to build my shoulders any more, I need to work more on legs and middle, but I will follow the program and hope that I see some good results over all.
Must weigh in tomorrow morning again and measure and post start weight and measurements.
Good luck to everyone one!!! :drinker:
It's great to see so many familiar faces here. Look forward to supporting you all in the next month :flowerforyou:
HA! Glad to see you made it!! Didn't want to break the good cycle, am I right??? I'm here too and will finish up my last two days of the shred just for good confidence measure in myself
Thanks so much for your push! I definitely needed it. PSH because who wants to accept defeat!??! And I'm sure Jillian will succeed in kicking our behinds some more, I mean look at her girls in this one, ridiculous!!! 0 -
Just finished Day 1 Week 1! I really didn't feel like doing it but sucked it up and got it done and now I feel great Will post measurements and such tomorrow! I used 5lb weights for all of the moves except in the 3rd circuit 1st two moves... I had to use 3 lbs. Also had to do modified push-ups and modified side plank crunch things in the abs part of the second circuit. I would love for one day to be able to do some real push-ups instead of being on my knees! Excited to continue and hopefully see results... I love Jillian! 0

I start Day 6 of Week 1 Tomorrow and so far I am loving it, it's hard but fun. I did not do 30DS before this one, i actually tried that one a year or so ago and it was too hard so i gave it away
lol but I've been doing Taebo so I'm not totally out of shape, though I still have a long way to go to be in shape but so loving this workout! 0 -
Hello all!
Ok, so I am a little ahead of everyone else. I just did W2D2. I love it!!! I especially like the squat with leg lift...feels pretty awesome! Someone mentioned the side lunge with arm raise...yep, not one of my favorite either...
These are my measurements of when I started Ripped. I previously did 30DS and it was very helpful...
With 30DS I actually gainged 2.5lbs during the 1st 2 weeks so I think Ripped will give me better results :happy:

Just finished W1D1- whoa! Intense workout. I must say i'm proud of myself. I kept up with the fast pace (even those damn fast leg things, "like football players do." They get PAID to do those and there's a reason! ) My body is like jelly but it feels great! I can see this isn't gonig to be easy or fun but I can't wait to see the results if I feel like this on day one! 0

Thank you for posting this. I wasn't sure what all to measure. I am starting tomorrow0 -
Day one Done!
Even though there are no v raises, I had forgotten from the shred how much I hated the side lunges with arm lifts. At least this time it's only 30 sec chunks, so slightly more bearable. And after doing punches with weights, my arms were flying!!
Need to up the weights a wee bit tomorrow, but after a good swim this morning, not feeling as strong as usual...I'll break this plateau if its the last thing I do!!
As soon as she said side lunges I groaned - I never wanted to do them again after 30DS!
I finished Level 1, Day 1 and I was overall surprised by how easy it was - I know I'm gonna regret saying that as it gets harder but I think doing 30DS first made this less intense. I was able to keep up with Basheera through almost all of it.
I have my ending 30DS measurements and we'll see what the next month brings!0 -
Woohoo!
Workout day 2 done.
I was sore when I woke this morning!!0 -
completed w1d1 last night. will take measurements this morning0
-
Good Morning! Haven't taken any measurements, but my weight is 127, just looking to maintain and build some muscle.
Wk1 Day 1 done. I am glad I shredded first!0 -
W1D2 done. And I hate the side lunges too! I'm using 5 lbs weights through the whole thing, but have to bring it down to 2lbs for that one exercise (or just put down my 1 weight and hold on to the other with both hands.) I think I should try to enjoy the more basic exercises, though. I've gotten to week three before, and it definitely gets tough. Never made it to week 4, though.0

Hello Everyone!!!
I will be starting Day1 Week 1 today when I get home from work. I will post again to let ya'll know I did it, and to add my measurements.0 -

I think your measurements are more complete than mine and can i copy them for my guidelines?0 -
day 2 level 1 for week 1 done. I must say this workout level1 is a lot easier than 30DS or maybe my body is adjusted in harder workout. But i so love it too!0
-
OK I'm getting with the program. I posted in the wrong place.
W1D1-done (yesterday)
Will get to Day 2 today. Loved the work out yesterday and I'm feeling the deadlifts today. Which is great.

Great work so far in this group! You guys really inspire me.
I am sore in new places....and I'm so glad that Ripped changes workouts more frequently than Shred. Less boredom doing the same routine for 10 days. Does Jillian seem more "drill Sargent" than ever?!?!?!
Happy day!0 -
Started a day late D1 W1 done. Thank Goodness I just finished the shred, I don't think I would have made it. My arms feel it already, I have zumba tonight so maybe I can work through any soreness.
I do have a question- My normal rest day is Saturday, I do zumba in the morning and nothing else but family time the rest of the day. Do you think it is ok to rest after only 2 workouts?
I have more detailed measurements for this workout, for the Shred I did minimal measurements and I know I lost inches in places that weren't measured. (MY BUTT!)0 -

Jillian reccomends one or two rest days each week doing RIT. Just listen to your body--if you need rest, then rest. Work the workout according to what you need, when you need it. There's more flexibility in this program than The Shred which I for one appreciate.
Keep it up!0 -
W1D4 done!0

Of course! No need to ask!0 -
I did it! W1D2 of Ri30!! And I burned 331 calories according to my HRM, so I guess yesterday wasn't a fluke!
I start to really struggle at the running man. I suck at the side lunges too - I don't trust my legs. I was recently in physical therapy for my left hip and my entire left leg is kinda weak...so I'm sure my form isn't the best, but I'm doing the best I can!!
I also suck at pushups...I'm hoping by the end of this video I'll be able to do some toe-pushups!! And I want sexy arms with a nice defined shape.
Not asking too much, am I?
I took some pics the night before starting...did you guys take pics too? I'm hoping the one I took of my back with my arms flexed will show a nice change!!0 -
W1D3 done!! My chest and ham strings are a little sore today, but other than that I feel great!!
Was so proud today, did about half of each push up set on my toes and I was able to hold hollow man the whole time :happy:
I am doing most of the work out with 5lb weights.... side lungs I go down to 3lb and I use an 8lb for the squat swing.
Have a great day!!0 -
