Hello Everyone,

Today was my first day of starting Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30. I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but MFP doesn't have this workout in the system. Does anyone know generally how many calories are burned during week 1-4? Or is there a way for me to put in the exercises manually just so I feel like I accomplished something? Also if you have done the Ripped in 30 DVD please share you results and experiences with me. I will need a lot of support to finish this one.

Thanks in advance.

    Those are very individual results. I find MFP overestimates most burns. If you can afford it (some are fairly cheap) buy a hrm that counts calories for your particular age/height/weight and use it when exercising. These will be about 98% accurate.

    Thank you, that's very helpful!

    Most people log Jillian's workouts as "circuit training". :happy:

    Circuit training it is :) Remember that the real training only takes 18-20 minutes, though. The rest is warm up and stretching.
    Have fun! I had fantastic results with Ripped in 30.

    May I ask you what kind of results you had? Currently I'm 5'8 144 pounds, 29.5 in waist. I've been doing Zumba for a couple of months and now I'm stuck at 144, so I thought a change up would be good to get off the plateau.

    I did Week 1 once and wore my heart rate monitor from Polar. I burned 200 calories in 30 minutes doing the workout. But I am only 5'4 tall and 120 lbs ;) My AVG heart rate was 135 and my MAX 165. Hope this helps!

    I finished 30 day shred 2 weeks ago and just started ripped in 30, I'm finding it harder already! But I felt so fab after the shred I knew this would give me a challenge and work again! I'm on day 5 (had 2 days off for illness though) I guessed on the burn so I put 250 cals, keep it going you will be amazed at how your body changes

    I'm pretty sure it's for anyone who wants to try. Right now I don't have the weights, so I use soda cans LOL. It's probably not even close to a 2 lbs weight, but for me it's hard enough doing it as it is. The hardest part for me are the push ups and the planks... my upper body strength sucks :)

    When I started the Shred, which I did before Ripped in 30, I couldn't do one single military pushup. When I started RI30, I could already so a few. You will be surprised how fast it goes.

    If you can, get a set of weights. You will need heavier weights for some exercises if you want decent results.

    Thanks, yea I'm gonna get my hands on some weights as soon as I can. And for push ups, what I have to do is just lay on my stomach and push myself up that way. I literally can't even do them with knees on the ground. I think if I keep going that way, I'll build up enough to do it with the knees, and then military style. :)

    You can start standing against a wall, too.
