    would it be possible to combine them both? I have just started 30DS and want to make sure I stay keen and interested. could you do a week of one, then a week of another, or mix it up say have 1 day 30DS then 1 day RI30 ??

    I actually wanted to do this as well.

    I am on day 3 of Ripped in 30 and I love it. I do some of the modified stuff because of my left knee and the fact that I can not do a normal push up for the life of me even when thinner I could not do it. I am actually going to do day 3 again tonight because I just do not feel like I worked out enough.

    Ripped in 30 has 4 different programmes which JM referes to as "weeks" (so week 1, week 2, etc)

    I did it over 4 actual weeks, with one rest day each week, so that was only 24 days, I guess!

    Day 2 on ripped and am feeling the burn. Definitely sore, but it feels good! I was actually motivated to do the DVD this morning before work. I may just do it again Tonight along with running intervals. I have a cruise in February that I need to "RIPPED" for. What size weights is everyone using?

    2 kg weights for most of it - but I keep 2 filled water bottles for the exercises where those are too heavy.

    I got a cruise too! in three weeks and while not hoping for a miracle (I'm realistic I know I won't see changes in such a small amount of time) I'm just expect to not have to squeeze myself in a dress. going to continue the shred and ripped while on the cruise though I can't use any vacation as an excuse to not exercise or I'll just straight up quit. I use 5lbs which I curse hopefully will move onto heavier weights as I progress.

    Have fun on your cruise!

    May be slightly off topic - is 30DS meant be to 30 consecutive days or have rest days in there?

    Jillian meant the program to look like this: 2days 30Ds/RI30 (take your pic) 1 day cardio (running swimming walking elliptical whatever) 2days 30DS/RI30 1day cardio 1 day rest (really rest)
    10 days on each level

    the whole "30" day thing is a marketing execs idea to make the DVD sound catchy (and it obviously worked) it is a great
    workout if you like circuit training. I am currently doing RI30 in the morning and 30DS after work and then some yoga to stretch out my sore muscles and relax.
    Lots of people do it for consecutive days or mix and match the levels ultimately it is YOUR workout. dependant on how much time you have and how your body reacts to the workouts (personally the more sore my muscles are the better I feel but will not go overkill I'd rather have a slow progress than an injury putting me out of the game)
    Everyone is different and loses differently at different rates.
    In one of the DVDs she says "you can eat your way through any workout" and that really drove the point home for me.
    Sorry for going on for so long or sounding preachy I just finished a workout and feel awesome
    really the hardest part of a workout is actually getting off my @$$ and actually doing it!

    let's kick Jillian's butts ladies!

    I just started ripped in 30. I found these posts actually because I googled "ripped in 30 results"...I wanted PROOF!! lol! I mean, I will totally let her kickk my butt, IF I will see real results...ha! Anyways, I saw some VERY encouraging pictures, so I will continue with it.
    Seems as if the gals that got the most out of the ripped in 30 were the ones who restricted their calories down to what Jillian reccomends (1400) and added in extra cardio. The one I saw with the most exciting results did an extra 30 minutes a day of hard cardio. Wow, she really did have some amazing before and after pictures! I can only hope that I can replicate that plan, and her results!

    I have carried 40 extra lbs for over 10 yrs now. I have dieted multiple times and have always given up. I am praying that I will see it thru this time. Tired of the extra weight, and the health worries that go along with it (not to mention the self esteem!)

    Looking forward to getting to know you all, may we all be ripped in 30! :smile:

    I am using 5 lb weights for 30DS and plan to use the same for R30.

    Omg! I just did Day1 today it was soooo challenging! :-) I loved it. I tried to use my 5lb weights the entire time but a few times I picked up the 3lb a couple times. Im excited to see my results!

    Jillian has a free app and if you save your weight and height and look up her dvd it will tell you how many calories.

    Hey everyone go ta question. ON the days I do cardio outside of the video think I could take the time period that she does cardio in the video and do more ab work?? I run 45 min every other day and I love doing it as I am trying to build my mileage and time

    I'm just finishing up the 30DS (did L3, D6 tonight) and plan to move onto RI30 as soon as I'm done, but alternate it with something else (probably Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism). I've seen awesome changes doing the shred so I'm excited to keep up with her stuff. I'm moving on to 5lb. weights (started the shred with 2lbs. and moved up to 3lbs. during level 2).
