Ive only done 2 days of ripped in 30. I also did my regular cardio workout before ripped so I was warmed up and stretched out. I was so sore today I couldnt get up early to go to the gym...I never miss my work out. Maybe I should wait untill im in better shape or maybe start with an easier DVD. Im not one to QUIT, or Give up ...but I'm really sore. I'm feeling a bit better now and am planning on cutting back some on the cardio in the morning and try it again...Any advise???...Help!!!!

    I am on day 7 of ripped in 30. After the first 2 days, I felt the same as you. I couldn't even sit down or walk up the stairs without extreme pain! I rested for two days, and then started up again-- and guess what? It got a lot better! I am doing three days on, 1 day of rest. I already feel so much better! Today, my workout was nearly painless, even a little boring! I can't wait for the next level. It is amazing how our bodies change. Take a day or two of rest, and then get back in the game! You will be glad you did :)

    I'm on Day 4 and not doing it every day - aiming for 3-4x a week, with body weight exercises on the other days. I definitely agree with Talazws that taking rest days will help loads :)

    I did a full 30 of the 30 day shred a few months ago. After about 4-5 days the pain subsides, even when you go to the harder workouts. I was gonna try it again, but two days in and I was way bored with he routine. Tonight I bought ripped in 30 to try something different. I like it way better, more variation in the strength circuit.
    Let me tell you that that other 30 days did make a huge difference.... My metabolism was way up and I know my core and upper body were way stronger, so I say yes this pain is totally worth it in the end! Stick it out, you will amaze yourself!

    I've completed 30 day shred so thought ripped would be similar. I did week 1 no problem, my arms were a bit sore but not too bad. Week 2 I gave up after 1 day. My upper body strength and core strength just isn't strong enough to do a lot of the exercises. So yes I quit, have joined a gym, will do 30 day shred again in June then try ripped in 30 again.

    It takes a day or two to get used to every level but it is doable. Just follow the modifications. I am on Level 3 Day 5 and going strong. I have not lost any weight but have lost 8 inches at my half way point.
