Ripped in 30 Level 2

I couldn't do all of the mountain climbers either. I tried to count and do more each day. Even though I was frustrated not to be able to do everything I still got a great workout!!!

when i was in high school we had to do 50 of those fkrs the mountain climbers and i can't do 10 now!! today is week 2 day 2 for me and it was pretty intense for me ! i LOVED sweating like crazy haha

I´ve also been doing RI30. Did L2 day 6 yesterday but I have to do something else every 2nd day as my left knee can´t handle this week. Did fine on Level 1- only held one day of rest. And I don´t really know which of the exercises is hurting my knee as it doesn´t hurt while I´m doing it - just can´t walk properly the next morning :noway: But it´s better the next day again.
Other than that I find cardio easier this week (except the mountain climber I´m still sweating buckets but am sure feeling the planks in my back!!!
Have only lost 1cm in hips and ½cm in waist - I´m not doing the meal plan as I have celiacs so I´m eating what I can eat.

I reckon week 2 is my favourite
I had a massive hard time doing the plank positions but by day 3 I was all good

Does anyone ever really get ripped in 30 days? Sounds like a setup.

I have to disagree with your comment. I didn't get "ripped" but in conjunction with a balanced/healthy diet and alternating 2-3mile runs I did see a lot more definition by just using Ripped in 30...pics on profile to prove it.

I felt the same way starting level 2! Im currently on week 2 day 4. I have a hard time doing the table things, the pendulum squats which i modify so it doesnt kil my knees and the mountain climbers! I do fine until the 2nd rotation of them and my shoulders start burning so i have to keep stopping! Although i will say that each day i get stronger so i can do a little more but boy am i sore after every workout! Did you guys lose any pounds since starting this yet? I keep going up and down with the same 3 pounds and didnt measure myself before starting so i was just curious if anyone else has lost pounds or inches?

I've lost 5lbs, 2 inches around my waist, and inch around each thigh, and two inches from my chest so far. I have been following a diet as well as doing ripped in 30 6 days a week.

I have a really hard time doing the table things as well because I can't left my butt off the floor when in the sitting position!! Haha, I really try my hardest though.

Thats awesome! Great job! Did you follow the diet that Jillian provides with RI30 or your own? Ive been doing it 5 days a week because ive always taken 2 rest days a week and RI30 makes my body so sore! I know ive been losing inches but no pounds yet although i prob wont know until im done with the program! Those tables are rough! On day 5 of week 2 i was able to do everything alot stronger except like you i still cant lift my butt off the floor either! Tomorrow starts week 3 for me and i heard week 3 is the worst!

I'm not following Jillians diet, I didn't like the look of that, I'm a bit of a fussy eater, So I've just gone down the low carb route for now and I find it's really working for me. I haven't cut out carbs all together but I'm just not eating as many as I used to.

I did day 2 yesterday and I managed to master the jump rope, so now it's just those mountain climbers :(:(

Yea i looked at her diet and was like nah i dont eat any of that stuff! Esp all the fish! I dont eat any seafood at all! I think im going to try low carb and see if that works for me! Im getting frustrated because since i started RI30 my weight isnt moving at all! I just keep losing gaining the same 3 pounds! Ugh.. I also only do it 5 days a wk because ive alway taken 2 rest days when exercising and i need them after doing her workouts all week! Thats great you mastered the jump rope! I like that move! I never mastered the mountain climbers. Would make it through the first rotation and then by the 2nd my shoulders would be burning! So today is day 1 week 3 and im scared! lol. I havent heard anything good about wk 3!

In my opinion level 2 is harder than level 3

I just finished Week 2 a couple days ago, and the mountain climbers were what I found to be the most difficult. I'm fine with plank jacks, but I'm really slow with the climbers.

What to expect from week 3: I find the exercises to be simpler in form than in week 2, but they are definitely more difficult to maintain. My muscles are screaming more from the exercises, but I feel stronger.

I just finished day 1 week 3 and it was brutal!! I agree with you that the exercises form are simpler and easier to do but boy to do they hurt!!! My legs and arms were burning and screaming!! Definately getting stronger though!

did everyone take before pics?!

I did 30ds before this so my 'before' picture is from before I started that. But I'm hoping the difference is noticeable although I don't expect to look ripped when I started weighing 196lbs! I'm 13lbs down though and have lost 4 inches from my waist since 3rd June.

Day 6 of week 2 done. One more day and onto week 3. I'll be so glad when I've seen the back of those crow push ups! This level seems to hurt my knees and wrists more than anything else I've done!

On level 3 you still have some planks and have to do the ab hold and the table tops so its pretty much just as bad as level 2! My arms and legs were screaming from level 3!

No, I am getting ready to start level 4. I had been working out regularly for two months before I started it (six days a week), so I guess that's why it wasn't hard for me.
