I'll have to double up one of my shred days since I took 2 rest days so I finish on 4/30. Should still be doable.
Do you think a 3lb for the light weight and an 8lb for the heavy will work?0 -
Wasn't a fan of Jillian until I tried a couple of her workouts, was on a great schedule, but had an injury 2-3 weeks ago and haven't gone back. Maybe joining this group will re-light my motivation!!!0

I'm starting this, Sunday! https://www.youtube.com/user/xoxxmaryxxox/videos
All four videos. I'm going to post up before and after pictures.0 -
This is great! Can't wait to get started. I run my first 5k ever on Sunday, then gear up for my second one three weeks later. This will be doable for me! Looking forward to it. Come on May 1st!0

I just started this yesterday. so will add an extra few days to each week so that I can finish at the end of may.0

Any one have any experience with doing this type of work out barefoot? I know it's not ideal, but I have a busted up toe which makes working out in running shoes a little painful right now. Zumba is pretty much all I've been doing the past month because I can comfortably do that barefoot, but it's getting a little boring after the same old routine for a month.0

I started this last week, and was up to day 3/week 1, but....did too much weight with my squats, and pulled something in my quad. So I've taken the last 3 days to rest and feel much better today. Going to resume tomorrow. I did this series last year and saw great results, but I'm not in as good shape now as I was then.
What is the group recommendation for completion of each level? Last year I worked each week until I felt I had the moves down pat, so not set # of work outs. What is this group doing?0 -

I do each level for ten days on 30 day shred, but with this DVD having 4 levels, I might just go until I feel like it's getting easier then move to the next level.I started this last week, and was up to day 3/week 1, but....did too much weight with my squats, and pulled something in my quad.

The DVD recommendation is doing Level 1 during Week 1, Level 2 during Week 2, Level 3 during Week 3 and Level 4 on Week 4. This is what I plan to do! But I think it's also a good idea for those who need or want that extra time for each level, to do it for as long as they'd like. I am going to Vegas for a bachelorette weekend at the end of May so I want to get through the whole DVD by then.
Best of luck to everyone!0 -

I started out doing 30DS barefoot, but ran into problems with my ankles. But I actually googled it at one point, and it seems most people do it barefoot. I just have old feet, I guess!0 -
I did 30DS barefoot and I'm on W3D1 of RI30 barefoot. I prefer it for stability. I've no concerns of dropping my hand weights during this exercise.
I would like to re-do RI30 in May with you all while more closely following the food guide as a guide for nutrition during the 30 days.0 -
What would be considered a light hand weight and what would be considered heavy?
I've never done any at home work outs...0 -

It all depends on your current strength and how you'll progress through RI30. For me a light weight is 3lbs and heavy is 5-8lbs depending on the exercise. Try dumbbell rows or curls with a lighter weight and see how many you can do until you're sore. If you're feeling it around 12reps, that's light. Burning up at 6reps =heavy. You can't really know til you try as it's all relative to your strength and the exercise in particular....0 -
Starting back up with these routines tonight. :-) excited for this group!!!0

I started this DVD this week, just completed 30 day shred. So far I really like this dvd. I am on my 5th day and I am sore but in a good way.0

How many days a week you are planning to workout ?0 -
So excited for this group and challenge! I was looking for something to pump up my routine and get ready for summer! I started MFP in fall of 2012 and since then have completed four 5ks an 8k and have lost around 30lbs!
Let's do this! Good luck to everyone! 0 -
My DVD's in the mail and I only have my light weights at the mo', but I'm looking forward to giving it a try.
I only just started 30 Day Shred again last week, but since I did it last year I'm a little too used to and maddened by the dialogue to watch it every day again. Fresh start! 0 -
I just started RI 30 tonight. My best friend and I are both doing it. Trying to get back on track!0

Hi Guys, I'm going to use the You-tube links for this challenge - it looks great.
I have silly a question..... for week 1, do I do the same video for 5 or 6 days in a row? Then week 2, do video #2 for 5 or 6 days in a row?0 -
Hey I just started Day 1 for RI30 - thought it would be easier to manage starting on Mondays since the 1st isn't until Thursday. I'm going to do it through the 31st of May as well. Hope to see great results!0
-
I've started the program a few days ago. I only completed Day 1 of week1. My legs have been so sore, I ended up taking two days off instead of one. It's crazy how tough it is for 24 minutes!!
Really hoping this group gives me the motivation I need to keep going.
Let's get summer ready 0 -
I did Level 1 for 6 days, my plan is to do each level 6 days then move on if I feel strong enough.0

Just got my DVD in the mail! Can't wait to start!0

Count me in! I plan on doing this as a hybrid with Killer Buns and Thighs, and I don't plan on doing the workout as intended, as repetitive workouts get boring to me. So I will alternate the workouts within the week. Had a tough time with completing 30 day shred due to being bored of doing level 1, 10 days in a row. I need variety in my workouts. If the advanced levels are too difficult, I plan on doing the modified versions with lighter weights until I can work my way up. Good luck everyone!0

Hi everyone! I started in Feb. with 30 DS and finished (first time to complete it, yay).....then started RI30 April 14. I am doing the DVD about 4 days a week. I find I do better if I have a rest day during the week (feel stronger after the rest day). I did level one for 10 days and am hoping that I'm ready for level two tomorrow!! I have to say, I love the workouts. I am NOT a morning person by any means but I am dragging myself up and out of bed at 5am to get this done! I have lost 8-10 lbs since starting the workouts and making small changes in my eating/drinking. Looking forward to having support and friends to encourage through the new workouts! 0
