    started week two today, but woke up with a headache so I don't think I worked as hard as I should have, but completed it anyway. I lost 3 lbs in the first week, incredible. Makes me want to continue doing it, despite the headaches.

    Week 3 is getting SLIGHTLY easier, but that first circuit just about kills me!

    I started week 3 yesterday, and it is crazy hard! Jumping lunges on the last circuit? I could barely even drag my tired limbs into the modified step touch version!

    What's the difference between the 30 shred and ripped in 30? I've done the 30 day shred and currently doing NMTZ. (Only did circuits 2 and 5 tonight to work on my abbs, but I did them twice!)

    I think RI 30 is a bit more hard-core! Jillian gets really mean! Level 1 is still okay, level 2 has some difficult moves - circuit 1 is quite bad. But level 3 gets really crazy and I haven't done level 4 yet. You also only do a level for a week, but in 30DS you do it for 10 days. 30DS only have 3 levels, but RI 30 has 4. But, I think RI 30 is definitely more challenging.
  • Yesterday was L1D1 for me. I'm a pretty sedentary person, so it was the most I've sweat in a while--and I was doing the modified version with 3lb weights!! I haven't worked out in months & I've put on quite a bit of weight, so hopefully I stick through like everyone in this group! Reading everyone's results is very motivating :)

    I've actually finished level 3 now - did 7 days of it. But, I think I'm going to do another few days of level 3 until I can keep up with all of the moves.:ohwell: Truth is, I am actually too darn scared to start level 4...:blushing:

    Is this one on youtube? I've searched for it but didn't see it. All I could find was promotional advertisements for it and people posting results. I couldn't find the full workouts.

    No I don't think it is on youtube, but I found it at Walmart for less than ten dollars. One disk, 4 workouts on the disk.

    Okay, I've done two full weeks of Ripped in 30 week 3. I can now keep up with all the moves - and don't have to do the modified versions. Guess I must be brave and attempt week 4 now!

    Okay, I've done level 4 today, and it wasn't that bad at all!!

    Great job! I got derailed by some health issues, but I started again today with level one, hoping to complete the whole program this time.

    I think RI30 is my favourite JM dvd. I find the workouts go faster than the other ones. I've just started week 1 again a few days ago and hope to stick to the full 30days! not looking forward to the duck walk again.. haha

    The duck walk is a killer!! I also enjoy RI 30 a lot. But, I think week 4 is easier than week 3.

    I'm kind of doing RI30, but as part of my crosstraining for a half marathon... I particularly enjoy weeks 2 and 3 :happy:

    I hope to be able to get it next weekend :) (After I get paid and actually have money for it)

    Just starting JM's 30 day slim down routine today, so I will be alternating 30DS with No More Trouble Zones and Boost Metabolism. I've finished the 30DS before-it's an awesome workout for such little time. Keep up the awesome work!

    I just did Week 3 today and loved it. I only did one day of level 2 and found it too hard on my shoulders, elbows and wrists. Loved level 3's focus on legs. I might do this one for 2 weeks! I'll go back to level 2 when I'm not playing so much tennis....

    does anyone have trouble on week two with the ab lift/table move. I don't know if it is just me but it is impossible because my arms are too short. Anyone else have this problem?
  • Kidostud
    Kidostud Posts: 307 Member
    That is quite a hard exercise and you also have to do something similar in level 3. The idea is to move your hands as far forward as you can and lift your butt - you don't have to lift it very high, just feel it in your stomach area. My arms are short too, and I struggled with it until I realized you don't have to lift high, just off the floor is fine.

    I am coming to the end of Level 3 and have decided to stay with it until I can do ll the reps. It suddenly got a lot easier today (except the duck walks obviously). I love how her DVDs really push your fitness. Which DVD comes after Ripped in 30? I have heard of Hard Body but its not available yet in Europe

    I've finished RI30, but now still do one of the workouts every day. I stayed on level 3 and 4 two weeks each and going back to level 1 and 2 was really nice! I can now do all the advanced versions!

    Completed day 1 of RI30 and I feel great! I have done the program before and lost about 5 lbs however had to put it on hold due to family reasons. I am back and hope to be motivated to continue!!! This time I am going to be running as well because I am completing my first half marathon in October!

    I got it!!! I probably won't actually start it until after my vacation next week. I will be away and will have no way to do any workout.
