Hey y'all! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing Ripped in 30 for the actual 30 days. It's always more motivating for me when I have someone working towards the same/similar goal I am. If you have the DVD or want to you use it online, lets do it!

I'll be starting tomorrow (Thursday, April 11).

Lets get it! :)

    I am starting on Friday the 12th! Finishing 30 day shred tonight so taking a day off between :D. Are you following the diet plan or using your MFP diet through the videos?

    I actually started on Tuesday, April 9. So today was Day 3, level 1 and all I can say is I am extremely sore! I didn't really want to press play, but made myself and felt better after, but my hamstrings and legs are screaming! I will be doing 5 days of Level 1, taking a rest day on Sunday and 6 days on Level 2. I am pushing myself to do 6 days of Levels 2, 3, and 4! Wish me luck! Feel free to add me and we can compare notes....I really need to take some pictures and measurements tonight though, just so I have a comparison.

    Hello Everyone!!! I am currently on the 30DS and have seen great results. Am looking foward to ripped in 30, but was wondering if its more of a muscle building program or if it high intensity cardio to lose those extra pound. Anyways thought i'd post my 30 day shred results so far.

    This warm up and cool down is so much better than the Shred was. I had heard this was better but wasn't sure if I would be able to tell... but I really loved the workout today! Intense but manageable. Will probably be a little sore tomorrow.

    Just started today. This is my first time trying a JM video, but I like her better than some of the other dvds I have. Current weight (after the workout) is 142.4.

    I just started level 3 today. Man. It was tough. Wow, lots of moves requiring coordination and seems to work the same muscle groups mercilessly. Anyone else feeling his way?

    I just did Day 4 Level 4, and although it is very, very hard, I find it much more do-able than Level 3. I DREADED doing Level 3 each morning and couldn't wait to be done with it forever. Even by the end, I wasn't able to fully do the duck walks, and I straight-up couldn't do the rock and roll jumping leg lift thingys. I nearly threw out my back trying to get up, so I just substituted chair squats with V-raise from Shred. The jumping lunges were horrifying. All in all, I hated the level, not just because it was hard but because it made me feel so inadequate. Of all the work-outs in 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30, it was the only one I couldn't master.

    Still love me some Ripped in 30, though! Level 4 rocks!

    LEVEL III *DUCK WALKS* ----oh..... you gotta LOVE em' killer burn :) I started Ripped in 30 on the 10th, but took a day off because I needed my muscles to rest and recover. I am doing 'Slim in 6' along with 'Ripped in 30' :)

    Hi all! I'm starting Ripped in 30 tomorrow (Tues. April 16). I'm coming off of a cold, but hopefully I'll be feeling well enough to begin tomorrow. I'll at least give it a try! Great to do this with you!

    Did my first day today. Much harder than the shred was. Glad I did that one first. I can definitely see getting ripped in 30 if I stick to her routine. Not a single second's gonna be easy but it will be so worth it!.

    Started on Saturday and my "hammies" are definitely feeling it. Glad to have this board for motivation, because it's hard getting out of bed every morning to face the challenge!

    Hey!!
    I started this today.. Well I tried ! I'm going to give it another go shortly. How is anyone doing, did anybody struggle? This is the first work out I have done in 4 years, and my first attempt made me feel ill .. Jeez that's not good.

    I started five days ago. Anyone know how many days you are supposed to do it before you move to the next level? I did 5 days on level one and I'm wondering if I should do two more days or move to level two.

    I started a week ago Friday (today). So tomorrow I start Level 2. I'm a little nervous. I took one day off this week, will probably do the same for level 2. It is more challenging than the 30DS but totally worth it.

    I miss counted I did it 7 days with two days off in the middle. I am going to start week two tomorrow also. Good luck!

    Thank you for the information. I have hesitated trying level 4 because I struggled so badly with Level 3.. Duck Walks are evil and crow push ups(level 2) are almost just as evil. I have used Jillian 30DS and RI30 consistently since early January and have gone from 41% body fat to 36% and love all her DVD's.

    I kind of rotate between the levels I like because for me it isn't a 30 day thing but hopefully a permanent part of my life.
