Hi,
I've seen a lot of groups, posts etc for Jillian Micheals 30 Day Shred but not a lot for Ripped in 30 so I thought I would start one!

I completed the 30S with some good results and will start RI30 today so if anyone fancies joining me for some support or to share the pain then please either add me or contribute!!

Take care

    I'm up for it! I will start tomorrow, so October 16 will be my Day 1. Are you going by measurements or pounds?

    Morning all! I did level 1 Day 1 yesterday and it wasnt as bad as I thought because I read so many posts about how tough RI30 was, I was prepared for the worst.

    I am very sore this morning though!

    @Carolyn, I'm going by both measurements and pounds. I did 30DS and even though my weight loss slowed a little, I noticed the changes in my measurements especially my waist, hips and thighs. My arms and chest didnt change much.

    Hi I'm going to take measurements and weight. I'll take pictures too but I'm not sure I'll post them as I am a little shy!

    Well done on your work out. My thighs are sore too!

    I'm here for the support. I haven't taken measurements because I don't have a measuring tape! I'll have to dig out a piece of twine or something.

    Did Day2 level 1 yesterday. I take it back, this is hard! My sholders, thighs and butt are really sore. I'm walking around like I'm John Wayne at the moment. Hope you all are doing well!

    Poppin in here. Starting Ripped in 30 today! I did it once before with great results. I only have 8lbs left to lose so I am more concerned with toning up right now!

    Just saw your post and started today---Level 1, Day 1. LOVED IT! Can do it, but I was pushed. Feel like I got a great workout in short period of time. Thanks!

    I started four days ago. Day one week one I hated her. It's 20 minutes and easier as you keep doing it. I had my cousin take pictures last night to document my progress. If I just lose this pouch I would be content. Good luck on ur journey with JM.

    Oh great to see so many of you joining!! Any support would be fantastic and well done!

    Quick question, is it really necessary to have both heavy and light weights?

    MEEEEEE!!!! I started this a couple of weeks ago. I plan to stay on Level 1 until I can do ALL of the exercises CONVINCINGLY before moving onto Level 2. I also run, Zumba, and rollerskate. Gotta get it in!

    HI!!! I just started last night (the 16th) and am determined to see it through the whole 30 days! Might take longer with rest days. I took a starting pic and will take a finishing one when done. My thighs were shaking last night after I was done! love it.

    I'm in. I started last week and just finished Level 1 - Day 5. Thighs are definitely feeling it! I finished up 30 Day Shred about a month ago and was really happy with the results! I have a feeling RI30 is going to be much more challenging! I did all of 30DS with 5 lbs. hand weights and have been using those for RI30 too.

    There are a few exercises in Week 1 that I feel I *could* use heavier weights in, but for now I am sticking with my light weights. I think if you feel comfortable with upping it on even a few exercises that would be good, I have a feeling they will use the heavier weights as the weeks go on.

    I don't have a measuring tape either, but I always do it with twine and a yard stick (Classy, I know!) I just took measurements a few weeks ago, so at the end I will post based off those measurements, and I suppose I need to get my husband to take pictures - He started it also, but he's not as consistent as I am. I am on day 3 and my thighs still hurt really bad so much that I have a hard time extending my legs straight out to stretch!. I think I need to do more stretching.

    Oh thanks for the tip. You are right, I felt I needed heavier weights for the some excercises. I dont have heavier weights so I will get them this weekend

    Yeah! I also use weights when they do the boxing part because I just don't feel like it's intense enough for me w/o!

    And yes, the running man is the worst! It's so hard! I think the part that makes me most sore is probably the skaters if you do it the 'non modified' way.

    About to do day 2 on Level 1. I have to do my workouts in morning so I will get it in, no excuses. I am just using five pound weights and had to put those down at one time to keep good form. I am just not "there" yet. I looked at some other jillien michels videos online and saw her doing the"duck walk" and tried that---wow! Talk about great quad workout and really tough! I just know week 2 is going to be building on this one, so I am going to try to master all of these exercises using good form and finishing all sets. If this doesn't blast the fat off, I don't know what will!

    FYI that Best Buy sells weights online (who knew?!) and they actually have free shipping. Bought my three pound dumbbells for only about $10 there. Prices vary with the colors.

    I went to a yoga class last night, so I didn't do the RI30 workout yesterday. Did it this morning, and wow, I couldn't really bend over much because my hamstrings hurt so much!

    Yes!! Hamstrings are super sore! It's better today than it was yesterday. I felt like I was walking around like Frankenstein b/c my legs were so sore.
