    OMG. I felt like I was going to die while doing 30DS. I made it through with a few short breaks. I am going to have a love/hate relationship with Jillian Michaels. LOL!

    I just did day 1 :)

    Ripped in 30 level 1, after an hour on the exercise bike and it was tough but good. I've been neglecting strength sort of exercises for a while so my arms feel pretty soft so I think this challenge will be good for me! I love me some Jillian Michaels! Haha. Looking forward to seeing results and everyone elses! :)

    I'm on day 6 of L2 using 30ds. It's still kicking my butt. I do feel stronger though. I'm sticking with the 30 ds till it's done then I think I'll move on to NMTZ. I really want to work on strength for the second half of this challenge. Maybe I'll get BFBM as well for cardio.

    I did measure myself at the beginning and wasn't going to measure until the end, but my arms look better so I gave in and brought out the tape yesterday. Down about an inch and a half on my arms!! I couldn't believe it. Can't wait till I do the final 30ds measurement in 15 days. :)

    I hope you all see some good results too. Push yourselves!

    Just completed Level 1, Week 1, Day 1 of Ripped in 30... OMG!!!!!! I just about died! My husband says I look like I dipped my face into a bronzer, it's that red! But starting was the hardest part. Chicken and veggies for dinner and then doing the dayam thing again tomorrow. I also took a before pick. I hope to have a WAY BETTER after one!!!

    Stay strong and have a TERRIFIC workout!

    I'm entering it under cardio as "circuit training general" for 18 minutes (I don't count the super brief warm up or cool down). I feel the number given is pretty accurate but having an hrm would probably be best. I used the following equation to get a rough estimate to compare against mfps numbers and they match up pretty consistently.

    According to Jillian, a person weighing 154 lbs will burn 503 calories doing one hour of 30ds.

    So: Your Weight * 503=a

    a/154=b

    b/3=your approximate calories burned

    In this equation b is your total calories burned for one hour so you need to divide by 3 to get the 20 minute approximate burn.154



    Here is mine: 226*503= 113678

    113678/154=738.16

    738.16/3=246 calories burned.

    MFP estimates my numbers at 244 for 18 minutes, so you can see it's pretty close.

    Here is a link to the original equation. Hope this helps!!

    Day 1 hurt...

    Day 2 will probably hurt even more. What have I gotten myself into? (Hopefully a smaller size by the time it's all said and done!)

    I so did not want to keep my date with Jillian tonight but I "pushed play" and cursed her the entire time. Level 1 of 30 DS done along with a quick NMTZ. 533 calories gone according to HRM :happy:

    Day 1 of Week 1 of Ripped in 30 DONE!

    Unlike most everyone here...I actually really dislike JM!!! Weird I know...but I've seen the results, so I'm content to give her 34 minutes of my time and curse at my TV whenever the need strikes! :grumble:

    To those doing Ripped...JM says do it 5 or 6 days and make sure to take at least one day of rest. How is everyone scheduling? I've decided to do Monday-Friday all Ripped...with maybe on or two days adding in something extra. I'm just getting to be too active outside on the weekends to workout. Would love to see everyone's plans. :flowerforyou:
