Ripped in 30

Sarahx86

Anyone doing Ripped in 30? I took a break from the shred and started this 2 days ago, it definitely feels harder then the shred!

I'm doing ripped BUT i'm doing my own schedule with a few of her other dvds so i'm not doing ripped every day, just twice a week = its a blinking good workout!

i did it with 3+5kg weights yesterday and thought my arms were going to fall off!

I'm only using 2.5lb weights and that's a struggle for me!!
I do love jillian.. I hate her during the workouts though!

I'm starting ripped in 30 and killer buns and legs tonight! Would be great to check in regularly. i've got 3 and a half weeks til my holiday so i intend to log in every day and push really hard.

We can motivate each other then as I'm only on day 3

So yesterday I did level 1 of ripped in 30 - quite good - reminded me of 30 day shred. followed this by killer buns and thighs also by Jillian. Aiming to do ripped in 30 again tomorrow!

How did you find it? Harder then the shred?

Tomorrow will be day 5 of Week 1 for me. It's killer. It may take me a bit longer to be ready to move on to week 2, but it is a great work out. It may be more like Ripped in 45 for me.

I finished day 6 of week 1 yesterday. First time I've done a Jillian workout and I am really enjoying it. Sweating like a racehorse and cursing under my breath (whatever little breath I have left mind you!) But it's so worth it when you can feel an improvement by the end of the week (and you really do!). I could've used a little bit more ab work (be carefull what you wish for), but the cardio and strength is very core/posture oriented so I guess that also contributes to the ab portion. Had a sneak peak of what's to come in week 2...Oh My Greatness...but I'm sure it will be totally worth it. Happy Ripping ladies!

I alternate JM dvds for my cross training days from running.

I personally like Ripped in 30 better than 30 Day Shred. Doing 3 strength moves per circuit instead of 2 in 30DS is much better. I always felt like dying at the end of the long strength set and my form would suffer.

Week 1, Day 5 - Done! I'm already starting to see changes. It's awesome! Might I just mention - I hate chair flies! It must mean I need to work those muscles more, but they kill me. I use 5lb weights for the rest of the workout, but I have to use the 3lb ones for the chair flies and side squat/arm raises. It's really showing me where my weaknesses are. I can't decide if I should move on to Week 2 before I can master chair flies with 5lb weights. Any advice? When do you move on? Are you doing each Week for a week, or do you have a goal to reach before you advance?

I love Ripped and I'd like to join you guys. I did Ripped right before my wedding for 3 weeks and although I didn't change my diet, I was definitely more toned and received lots of compliments.

Today I'm going to start again all over and try to diet as well (1,200 calories a day). Hopefully it'll go through this time too!

Attempted ripped in 30 level 3 yesterday OH WOW!!!

I alternate R130 with some of her other DVDs, and it's great when I want a faster more intense workout. I find weeks 2 and 3 to be the hardest (maybe it's those damn duckwalks in week three that set the tone!!)

Week 2, Day 2 - Done. I'm tolerating it better than I than I thought I would. The plank jacks are pure evil - I really wonder what kind of person thinks up such torture. I will master them before I move on!
