Ripped in 30 Buddies?

What do you usually log the 30DS as in your exercise log?

OMG, started week 3 today... I do it in the gym in my basement and watch it on my laptop. I actually said "holy ****" out loud several times. It killed me! lol. This week is going to be horrible... if the freakin scale doesn't start movin', I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong... not sure if I'll be taking tomorrow off or not, bc I have a feeling I'm going to be really sore, but I hope I'll be able to hang. Jillian is evil!

Day 19 for me today....I still hate Level 3, duck walks are evil :sad: got 2 more workouts of this level left then onto week 4! can't believe I've stuck with it this far!

Jenny_MSW

Hey all, just did my last workout of week 3 (thank god). Looking forward to a new workout tomorrow. Not sure if I'm getting results, but I've been keeping to around 1200 calories and working out so I hope to see something in pictures if not on the scale

Hey folks! I have about 2 days left on the the 4th week- yay! I made it through! I was curious what others are planning to do next...
I will finish the last few days but am eager to start something new to add now as I saw a only very small change in measurements and a little definition in the arms- I love that part! So hopefully you are seeing more results- I can't wait to hear- way to go!

Just did my first day of week 4. Not AS bad as I anticipated, but definitely really challenging. Can't wait to be done with Jillian lol. I'm going to do BBL when I'm done bc I acquired it from someone else and it'll be a nice change to be doing different workouts every day instead of the same thing for a whole week at a time which has been annoying for me.

Crazy I can do the treadmill over and over and not get tired of it but doing workout videos wear on me. I just finished day 2 of week 2 and I'm getting the moves better so I'm burning more calories via my HRM so I'm happy about that. My hips and rear are sore but I guess that goes with the territory of getting ripped! I am feeling more confident that I can finish 30 days despite my complaints!

Am I the only one who struggle to complete the plank jacks/mountain climber circuit. The cardio is def better in week 2 in comparison to week one. I like the strength in week 1 better though. I have lost 4 solid pounds since Is started it. Best investment I made this year.

Wow. Just did Day 1 of Week 3. That was really tough for my old arthritic body, bad knees and tendonitis in my toe. I'll check out week 4. If I have to modify too much there....I'll be heading back to week 2.

Hi there: I did the first day yesterday and I'm ACHING!!! I'll have to see if I can loosen up enough to do the second workout tonight. I'd love to have buddies to make it through the 30 days. We can show off our rockin' bods!!

I don't think I ever got all the way through that one- I can't do a 2 minute plank while I'm jumping around bc my arms just aren't strong enough! If it alternated with something OUT of a plank I would have been fine. Freakin Jillian.... she's mean lol...

EBFNP

lol..I pause it after every move. So I do the plank jacks then pause it..mountaineer climbers ..then pause..etc...lol..Like where in the hell did she get that?

Week 1, day 1 start weight 182.4 anyone close to my start time, send me a friend request! Definitely need the motivation!!!

Man- I never get good at the plank cardio or at push ups! But they do get easier than they were before. I have pretty much finished the DVD. I maybe lost an inch or inch and a half (the inch being from my boobs- perfect!).

Anyway- is it silly for me to stick with JM workouts since I don't see significant results??? Should I try something different? Any suggestions? I think I may try the Boost Metabolism one next. I have done 30DS, RI30, NMTZ. Hmmm undecided.

Hope you are all making great progress!

I am pretty healthy and in pretty good shape so I realize that it won't just fall off. I really want to tone up further but if I had to put a number on it I would say I want to loose 10lbs or so. Toning is my primary goal- stubborn areas like thighs and tummy.

Have you tried any of Bob Harpers? I did one day of his inside out method and it was an hour long though but I only did 30 minutes and it was killer! I quit to start JRI30 with everyone else. I may do that one next but just 30 minutes. I don't want an hour long video.

Completed my second workout of Level 4 today! Definitely gonna increase my weights next time...is it just does week 4 seem 'easier' than week 3?

I'm 5-maybe 10 from my goal and I'm really just trying to firm (I'm a size 4 at my current weight). I think it's good to do different things or cycle the videos at least. My thighs and butt need work lol- once I'm done this last week, I'm gonna do the BBL Program. I don't know about those others. I'm sure doing any of those other videos again and if you are able to get through them all then just adding weights for more resistance would make a big difference. You wanna make it so you are pretty sore the next day so it isn't just a cardio workout, or you won't be toning anything ya know? I keep going light on the weights and then realizing I'm not gonna get where I wanna be cuz only my quads and triceps are sore.

Yes, I think it week 4 seemed easier also. Increasing weights is a great idea to add challenge where needed.

Thanks for your thoughts. I am almost never sore so maybe lots more weight would help, it feels like I am working hard though- probably could work harder:) I am sore today as I did level 4 yesterday and the whole 50 minutes of No More Trouble Zones. Who has that kind of time every day though! I will be interested to hear what you think of BBL. Perhaps I will try the Bob Harper recommendation. I have a friend that has offered to loan me her Insanity work out but it just seems like more of a commitment of time than I can do right now.

Level 3 was very challenging! I really sweat and worked my tail off! Not to mention I moved up to 5 pound weights which seems soo much heavier than 2.5pd weights. Overall I liked the pace. It doesn't give you time to complain much!

LisaSpinucci

I just started level 4 of ripped in 30 ! And I am so proud of myself for making it through If I can do it you can do it ! I am just wondering if anyone knows how to calculate how many calories you burn during these workouts ??

holyjenn

I've been doing the RI30 video for a while now but never consistently and I've never tried Level 4. If it "seems" easier than level 3, I think I'm gonna go for it next time!

ninakale

I though level 3 was the hardest because I never had a chance to get my form right and my knees ended up aching.
