I started the 30 Day Shred in January without weights, I started the 30DS over again this month with weights and I'm really liking the results. I just love the circuit training, I really want to check out the Ripped in 30 but I've heard a lot of mixed reviews. A lot of women seem to be disappointed with the lack of results, which is really confusing because it *seems* like it would be a harder workout... so naturally more drastic results? Right? Maybe...? No? Haha.

Does anyone have any personal experience with the R30? How did you like it? Would it be a smart step up from the 30DS or do you have any better suggestions?

    I've actually heard the opposite--that lots of people have gotten better results with Ripped than with the shred. Personally, I completed the shred in December and bought Ripped in 30 with the intention of doing it alongside T25, but I ended up just doing T25. For some reason it just wasn't as appealing to me anymore once I started working out with Shaun T… I think maybe Jillian's slower pace or something? I'm not sure. This isn't really a critique of the workout itself though, rather just my personal taste. I did find level one of Ripped to be more challenging than level one of the shred. If you like Jillian and you want to stick with her, I would go for it :)

    I like Ri30 way more than 30DS. I like the workouts better and the fact that there are four levels. I'm seeing more result with ripped too! I don't know if it's really helpful, though, because everyone is different and what works for me might not work for someone else.

    I agree, I like RI30 way more! I'm on week 2 day 4 right now and have already seen some amazing results from RI30. I don't know if I would ever do 30DS again now that I have done RI30.

    I'm starting d1 of level 4 tomorrow and I have had no inches lost from any part of me so far. I'm not overly impressed and much preferred 30ds for results. I'll finish the week though but dont anticipate a miracle in 6 days that would result in an inch and weight loss like I saw in 30ds.

    I'd say you are going gave to try and see for yourself as you are getting mixed reviews here. Good luck. :)

    It's amazing how much results/preferences vary, I'll definitely be buying RI30 after I'm done with my weighted 30DS in March and compare.

    If you're not getting results you're not doing it right. Increase your weights, push HARDER. You can ALWAYS make it harder and do more.

    I can't wait for March, the more reviews I read, the more excited I get! This is going to suck so good.

    I like Ripped in 30 much more than 30DS. I've done it 3x already before moving on to Body Revolution. RI30 is tough, but if you got through 30DS you'll be fine and appreciate that she chages things up more frequently.

    I was very disappointed with RI30... I ended up doing 30DS for a third time last year because the results were worth my time. Time is precious

    It might depend on your preference for "format" as well as your main objective(s).

    I've just started working with JM DVD's so don't have a long term analysis to offer, but I didn't care for the 3-2-1 format of Rin30. I think it's probably great if you are looking to burn a lot of calories. My objective was primarily to get toned and build some strength so I didn't care for those 2 minutes of cardio in each circuit of the 30 minute workout. I did the first 2 levels of Rin30...they weren't easy by any means but "doable"....then on Monday I did 50 minutes of No More Trouble Zones and have been living on Advil the past two days!! Every muscle in my body is still complaining as I write this.
