30 Day Shred vs. Ripped in 30

I am in the process of doing the 30 DS and love it. After I'm finished, was thinking that for a change up I would do Ripped in 30 - Anyone here ever do both and, if so, would you recommend Ripped in 30? I just don't want to do the same moves that the Shred had. If it's similar, I may get her kickboxing DVD. Thanks!

    I personally like ripped in 30 but you'll see a lot of the 30 DS moves in the Ripped in 30. I would go for the kickboxing DVD because the ripped in 30 has alot of the same moves still a great workout DVD though!

    I just bought 30 day shred and I hoping it works. I need to lose 16 lbs and tone up, has it done anything for you? I was doing p90x but I'm having a hard time with it being an hour long for 6 days a week.

    Day 5 of 30 DS level 1 I love the fact only 20 minutes long. I usually add 15 minutes on treadmill.

    30 Day Shred is awesome .. I'm not even halfway through yet and I can already tell a HUGE difference in how I feel, my stamina and I can see a change in body as well. I think I might do the kickboxing one next and then go back to the shred. Thanks all for your input!

    I have done both and personally I liked ripped in 30 better, not that 30DS isn't any good, I just liked the other better!

    I'm with you. I liked Ripped in 30 better too.

    What kind of exercise do you log for doing the 30 day shred I have just purchased it and will be doing level 1.

    I always log it as circuit training.

    I really like them both. I think JM tries too hard to act really tough in RI30. It's fairly annoying for me. But it's a great workout. I found Level 3 of RI30 to be really diffcult. Level 4 is a little easier I think and I actually enjoy Level 4.

    I like that the strength training portions of RI30 are only 30 seconds each (3) vs 1 minute each (2) in 30DS.

    I've done both and starting with the 30 DS is good cos you get used to her style. RI30 is the same idea but the exercises are more challenging. Jillian talks a lot of rubbish in it but I just zone her out. All the levels are hard and really push me. Try 6 pack 6 weeks if you want something different in between.

    I have done 30 Day Shred and I am a little over half way done with Ripped. I like them both. Ripped is a little more challenging than the Shred was in my opinion. I dread doing the workouts, but when I finish I feel great about it. And I am seeing results!!

    I'll probably end up doing all her vidoes anyway .. I like her even though I think she talks over the top sometimes...lol. But the exercises themselves do work so I'll give her that! I'm still weighing between the RI 30 and kickboxing .... I'll give it a few more days before I decide, but I definitely don't want to stop. Thanks again for all your input - it's much appreciated!

    i am 4 days away from finishing 30ds for the second time. I bought ripped in 30 to start after . I hope it's just as good but i hope the exercises are easier on my knees then some of them that were in 30ds... i had to modify some or replace them with other exercises..

    What Kickboxing DVD is Jillian? Is it called Cardio Kickbox? I am looking for her Kickboxing DVD! I also want her new Body Revolution!

    I have not done both, but thought I'd share my success with you on JM's Ripped in 30. I finished 1 week and lost 4.5 pounds and lost 7 inches! I've struggled to lose a single pound in 4 months, but this workout kicked it and I'm sure contributed to my loss. Just started week 2 today...it was tough! I have been logging my workouts as circuit training and it said 326 per 30 minute workout, but today I logged it and it only gave me 318 for the same 30 minutes. I'm not sure why it changed...and if anything, the 2nd week workout is tougher, therefore I should be logging a higher calorie burned. Not sure really how to log it now, so I guess I will keep it at what it gives me.

    I'm a BIG fan of Ripped in 30. Generally faster paced and more rigorous. I thought I was in pretty good shape, but after level 1 of Ripped, I was tired and winded. Not to mention my BUTT and LEGS were SOOOOORE the next day. But, don't give up. Stick with it! Results are totally inevitable with this dvd. In fact, I really like her video "Yoga Meltdown". I often to 30 minutes of Ripped and then 30 of Yoga Meltdown. :) Just a thought. You'll succeed with whatever you do!

    I did 30DS last year and was amazed by my results. Sadly I fell off the wagon not too long ago but am back on it. This time I decided to start with Ripped in 30 and will then move back to 30DS. In regards to TinaFay69- I always log it as circuit training as well but I always wear a heartrate monitor to get a more accurate number. I dont have a fancy one but it does the trick. I paid about $30 for it and it was a worthwhile purchase. Today I start Week 3 of Ripped in 30 and with my 1200 calorie diet, I am hoping to see results by the end of week 4. (Sidenote: I do not weigh myself b/c of the whole muscle gain thing so I go by measurements alone).

    Does anyone have thoughts / suggestions on estimating how many calories burned for 30 day shred level one - I weight 163. I've been estimating 250 but really have no clue if that is reasonable.

    I do 30 Day Shred and then I do Kickbox Fastfix. Combined, I think it's an amazing work out!!

    THIS. I did 30DS then RI30. Ripped in 30 is harder, although the moves are similar. I was happy doing it right after 30DS though because it was definitely more of a challenge. Jillian is way more annoying in it though-- have to be able to get past that.

    (Also, I totally agree about Level 3 being harder than Level 4. If I remember correctly, the duck walk was in Level 3 and that was KILLER.)

    I love the 30ds so far! I'm on day 12, level 2. Some of the moves are super hard for me (I haven't exercised in a year previously) but I'm noticing minor results already! I ordered ri30 and can't wait to see my results after 60 days with Jillian :)

    I loved Ripped in 30. Its the same concept as 30DS but the exercises are harder. Im a Jillian fan for sure :smile:

    I saw this from an earlier poster

    'Hi there, most peeps log it as 20 mins circuit training. If you need any support there is a group called 30 day shred January 2014 that I'm joined to. Here is the formula I use 3.267 x pounds / 3 = cals burned (there's not a great difference between logging it as 20 mins circuit training) '

    I am finishing 30 Day Shred this week, and starting Ripped on Monday! I've done a couple of the week one sessions, so I know what I'm getting into :)

    I've finished both and have now been alternating between them. I love the workouts and I sort of choose which one I feel like doing that day. They are both awesome and I love that I can get it done so quickly in the morning and be finished with it! I try to walk too when I can just to get some more cardio in.

    I finished 30 DS and am planning on starting RI30 (haven't watched any of the DVD yet). Looking forward to a new routine....I hope to start either Saturday or Monday!

    I hated RI30.. I found it boring and too easy. Didn't feel my muscles were worked like they had been doing 30DS and heavy lifting.
    Definitely recommend 30DS over RI30.. IMO the results are better.

    I loved 30 DS it is how I started working out. I love how encouraging Jillian is. She made me feel that I could do it. In RI30 I felt Jillian was trying to make it harder and was not as encouraging. So I did not like it as much. I think it depends on the Jillian you want to work out with.
