I did my Lvl1 Day 1 workout today and it felt so good. It was challenging in all the right ways and i felt like I got a fantastic burn in. How is everyone else feeling today?

I love week 1 workout. You are right, it is challenging in a good way and I burned way more than I did in any of the 30 DS workouts. This is my second round of the RI30 program so I will see how it turns out in the end. Keep it up!0

I agree ladies I really liked the workout! Also I peeked at the last level and omg it looks hard but awesome! She was also cracking me up. The jillian personality really shines through with this DVD and I love it.0

I'm doing mine after work tonight. Thanks ladies, I'm totally jazzed to do this after reading your posts (even though it's 90 degrees today)!0

It was a nice challenge. I'm alternating between both the shred and this wkout, daily so it feels nice getting stronger!0

I really enjoyed it! It seems that Jillian took the tips from 30 Day Shred and really made this one great 0

YES to both of these! Not sure if it was the (finally) warm whether, or if this is a lot harder than 30DS, but I was sweating like crazy! Also, as a soccer player, workout DVDs very rarely give me a good leg workout, but today my quads and hamstrings are DEAD! I'm loving this! Did day 1 last night, and day 2 this morning.0 -
Got my first day of Ripped in 30 done this morning, I agree with sweaty but doable. My legs are still a little shaky!! Wasn't feeling well yesterday so I am a day behind. Love that the cool down is longer and each stretch was held longer, I always needed to stretch more after 30 DS. Keep up the good work!!0

Finished Day 2. In addition to being sore in my hamstrings from yesterday, I noticed that I am also very sore in my upper back while doing those reverse chest flies. I definitely have gotten so much better with those this time around. On my first round of RI30, it seemed I was trying to raise those flies with my neck muscles...lol. Now I can do them with a very relaxed neck using 5 pound weights.
I just look goofy with those side lunges and front raises. I only have 5 and 10 pound weights but I need to find something smaller for that exercise. The 5 pound weights are too much for me to be able to keep a good form at the moment. Any ideas on what I can use?
Overall, I am loving this workout. Guess I better enjoy it while I can because week 2 will be coming soon to kick my behind!0 -

I agree, I'm not strong enough to keep up with them since I only have 5 and 10 lb weights as well. I usually just to two (one on each side), then skip the next two -- basically every other one. This way I'm still getting in the lunges and building my shoulder muscles without getting too fatigued too fast. I did this with a couple moves on the 30DS and was able to work my way up to more reps with the 5lb weights.0 -

I have 2# and 3# weights. If you don't want to by smaller weights you could use waterbottles. Full 20oz bottles are just shy of 2 pounds. I did this when I was first starting out tith the 30DS and didn't have weights yet.
I did Day two today and man my hamstrings are killing me too! I think I am going to do some nice restorative yoga tonight to try and stretch them out a little more, or maybe soak in an epsome salt bath.0 -
I did day 2 also today, and made the mistake of wearing heels to work today...not too sore yet, but know it's coming for me by the end of the day. Going to take a nice long walk with the dog tonight and hope that keeps me from getting too sore.
I am also noticing a lot of tension in my neck while I am doing the chair flies and lunges. I'm only using 5 lb weights, but maybe it's too much.0 -

I totally understand about the neck tension. As I mentioned earlier, that was my issue with the chair flies the first time I did RI30. Now that I have built up a little more upper body strength, I can handle them much better this time around. I think having too much weight is the issue and it is causing too much strain and compromised form. I am going to try using smaller weights to see if that will help the issue tomorrow.0 -
Is it starting to feel "easier"? You know it's just you are getting better, stronger....right!? Keep up the good work!0
