    It's not a huge calorie burn,200's I think.
    Log it as circuit training.

    I started RI30 last night, but I am thinking about rotating 30DS and RI30 every other night.

    I'm also doing RI30 right now. I have a hard time doing the running man in week 1. She says she has 300/400 pound people who can do it, but I'm sorry I cannot! :tongue: I just run in place there. Works for me and I still feel like I'm getting a good cardio burn at that point!

    I'm on Week 1 Day 3 and i do high knees or jumping jacks instead of running man! :)

    Day 2 for me....I just struggle through the running man and take a quick break (so I can breathe lol)....anyone find they are sore? Maybe it's because I took a break between 30 DS and RI 30??? It's not bad....makes me think there's something good going on (firming thing up!!!!) :smile:

    I started Ripped in 30 when I subscribed to Gaiam TV three weeks ago. I've been working on Week 1 the entire time, but I only do the workout on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and then go out walking with my dog on the other days. Running Man is the most challenging for me too! I move my legs properly the first time, without worrying too much about how my arms are swinging, but when it comes to the repeat, I have to start jogging in place midway through. The lunges are also difficult for me. I know I'm dropping down in proper lunge for some of them, though not going down as far as she instructs, but for the most part, I'm not. Still, I try... I'm contemplating playing Week 2 just to give it a shot and change things up, and hope that when I go back to Week 1 it'll maybe be easier?

    My husband and I rotate between ripped in 30 and 30 day shred. We have used both of these workouts for over a year now to maintain our weight. What we have found is if we cannot do the bad *kitten* version, we do the modified versions. Just as dreadlocklove said as long as you're moving, you're making progress. Week 2 can be challenging with the plank jacks followed by the mountain climbers. Do the best you can to your ability level, once you start getting comfortable, challenge yourself some more. But do not risk injury because that will make you miss working out and can be discouraging at times.

    Just completed ripped in 30. Happy with the results, considering doing it again in anticipation of wearing a bridesmaids dress in just about a month. However, I pretty much stopped running when I started the DVD and am about to start training for an upcoming race, so I would prefer to balance running 5 days a week with maybe 2 days of the workout. Any suggestions? Should I start from week one and go through week 4 and then repeat or skip the "easier" workouts and alternate week 3 and 4?
