    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!)

    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!

    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? :wink:

    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!!

    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!!

    Finished up with D2W1. Feeling pretty good so far, a little sore in my legs and shoulders but nothing too bad.
