    Day 1 of week 2 done (day 7 in all) - bit of a jump from week 1, but much more fun. Challenging but that's the point!

    Hope everyone else is enjoying it still :)

    So is everyone taking one rest day or two? I'm starting week two monday and I'm trying to decide if I want to work out today. I am super sore. Yesterday, I could barely do modified push ups because my shoulders were burning. I did notice that I was able to keep up with cardio better. What does everyone think?

    No rest days for me. I am doing 30 day shred and the program is designed to be done 30 days in a row. 10 days level 1, 10 level 2 and 10 on level 3. I completed day 8 today.

    Hey everyone, great to see so many people joining the group. I'm afraid to say that I am out of action for the moment and had to go to hospital last night with major pain under my ribs. I can hardly move and they say it's muscular, but I don't think it is as it's an ongoing problem. Really hate having time off from it as was so determined to do the plan properly, but I will be back to it as soon as I can.

    Those asking about rest days on Ripped, I would say yes, definitely one day at least. This is higher impact that 30 Day Shred and if Jillian recommends a day or 2 off then that's what we should do.

    Anyway I'll still pop in while I'm getting better, and I'm sure reading all your posts will keep me motivated. Keep it up! :)

    Oh no! Hope yer up and at it again soon!
    I took two days off last week but am going to try to do level two for 6 days this week because i have so much room for improvement in this one compared to level 1. Gonna do day 3 of level 2 today and try to do ALL of that plank cardio and get better at those crow pushups!
    Hows everyone else progressing?

    Hi there! I am a real late joiner, but am doing Ripped in 30 and am finishing up level 3 this week. Level two was tough with a lot of plank moves, but man, level 3 is tough with a TON of glut/hammy moves that don't quit. I feel it every step I take during the day. This hopefully will be a good thing :)

    I've finished week one now, so start week two tomorrow. I hope it's not going to be too hard! Eeek.

    Wow week 2 is hard! The ab hold to table was really tough and I'm so not strong enough for all the plank moves. Still I'm going to stick to it!

    Keep it up everyone, those plank moves do get easier. I will be back to it as soon as I can...desperate for his pain to ease enough to exercise again, missing it way more than I thought I would. Shows how much I never want go back to the old, unfit me ever again. :)

    I'm on Week 2- Day 2. I'm surprised how much harder week 2 is than week 1. I can't even do the modified version of the crow push ups. I'm really glad that I wait until my husband goes to work before I workout, he would probably die laughing if he saw me trying to do those! I hope everyone else is doing good!

    Has anyone else found week two to be quite dull?

    It's a step up from week one but it feels a bit more monotonous. It might just be me, but I'm looking forward to week three :)

    I don't know about RI30, but I just did Level 2 of 30 Day Shred and I like it better than Level 1. The cardio feels easier but the strength is harder. Maybe since I've been kicking up my running game, the cardio is becoming less taxing??

    Keep it going everyone!

    I haven't heard anyone say they are enjoying week 2. In fact I've read some people sticking with week 1 longer, or moving on to level 3 after just a few days. Must say I just don't like alot of the moves - some seem too easy while others really hard.

    But if week 2 is putting anyone off exercising then you aren't letting anyone down by changing the structure of the plan...putting yourself off exercise is defeating the purpose altogether.


    Oh and I really enjoy level 2 of the Shred too Scarlet, and often do it after Ripped for a longer session.

    Can't wait for week 4... or can I!? :P

    Oh it won't put me off, worry not - it just seems a bit less challenging now. Maybe I'm adapting, I want week three to really hit me hard.

    Day 2 of week 2 done, I'm enjoying some of the moved but still hate the moves in plank and crow push ups! Still I just keep thinking I only have to do these for a week then I can move onto the next level of pain! Ha ha.

    I'll join in! I started this 2 days ago, so I'm on day 3. I think if I can see everybody else trying so hard it will give me a push to keep going. Good luck to everybody.

    Hi! I started week one today. Haven't worked out in three weeks so my body is a little out of the loop. It feels nice to be back at some kind of physical activity! :) just one question. How do I log this workout?

    I tend to log it as circuit training for 20 mins.

    Day 3 of week 2 done today. Cannot wait to finish this week as I'm not digging the moves in week 2, I hope I enjoy week 3 more!

    Hey everyone how you getting on? I'm still not fit enough to get back to Ripped but going to try to do some kind of exercise this weekend. I'm quite jealous of you all moving on and leaving me behind! Grrrr... :)
