Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30

Well I am starting lvl 2 today! Woot. Excited to do it after I watched it.

My results from the first week are 1/2 in off my left thigh, 1 inch off my right thigh, and 1/2 off my waist. I also lost 2 pounds but I do a few hours of addition cardio threw the week.

I have a HRM so here is what I burn. I weight 135 and 5'4":
Day1: 225 (less probably from trying to figure out what the moves were)
Day 2: 289
Day 3: 265
Day 4: 280
Day 6: 269
Day 7: 275

I used 5lb and 8lb weights.

oh myyyy just did level 3! however im going to say, attempted to do level 3 because i could hardly complete any moves, i feel like jillian is like, oh ya, you think your strong? well try to do this! lol but im not discouraged, i just can't wait until i get enough strength so i can get the full benefit of the workout. and it really is a great workout, i tried to do another dvd of hers after and turned it off after 5 min. haha my body was like reallllyy??

Started Level 4 today. Oh my gosh it was tough on me but I made it through.

Hey Everyone! A bit of catching up first:

TamiHudson - I did day one of week three today and it was actually quite manageable. I mean, I sweat my butt off, but I could do everything. Jillian does a good job of prepping you in levels one and two for what she asks for in level three IMO

Amyannie - AWESOME job on the 6 lbs! You rock! I've also been contemplating what to do when I finish. I almost want to go back through again but make sure I do all the advanced movements. I'm sure I could kill level 1 by now :-)

Kaileyxoxo - I get bored easily too which is why I didn't make it all the way through 30 DS. 10 days is a lot to do the same thing. I like ripped because it's only 6 days per level. I kind of love level three (mostly because there is much less plank cardio) but more on that later

mislove - Those results are amazing! Great job!

almondbliss - Welcome! Ripped is wonderful, glad to have you on board!





So I was travelling all weekend and managed to still eat well and keep up with Ripped (go me!) but have been MIA on the forums, sorry! I did level three day 1 today and I have to say... it's my favorite yet! I hate anything plank related with a passion so I was SO happy to have much less plank stuff in this level. I made it through with a lot of the advanced options (pouring sweat of course). I'm happy because it means I must be getting stronger if I can make it through this without stopping! Level two was a challenge up until the very end for me so it's nice to feel so accomplished with level three! Tomorrow is weigh in, picture updates and measurement updates so I'm pumped!

Bring it on Jillian!

Anyone on level four want to give me a heads up on what's to come? (I'm looking at you TexasGirl92)

Hi! I have quite a bit of weight to lose and was wondering how JM Banish Fat is for that. I need to blast off some of this weight and I want to incorporate something that will do the job. Would you recommend this workout for that? :happy:

Heyy i know this question wasnt for me, but i think any JM dvd you choose will get you results you can actually see and a good jumpstart on your weightloss. The one I'm doing now, ripped in 30 is definately one of her best in my opinion, especially for toning. Its tough but there are beginner modifications while you build your endurance over time. Good luck!

Yes, I would recommend Banish Fat for weightloss. It is a great workout, and I am litterally dripping sweat when I am finished! I also agree with Kailey, any JM video should help you in your journey, and Ripped is my favorite out of all her workouts also. I would incorporate Banish Fat with one of her other ones to get great cardio, along with helping you tone. Good Luck with everything!

Thanks for responding. I am currently doing the 30 DS and am very pleased with the results thus far. I'm planning ahead to the next workout and thinking I might want to focus on just cardio to blast off some serious weight before going on to Ripped in 30 and more toning. That's the plan anyways.

Ok... Silly question... Would you consider Ripped in 30 a HIIT training????

I had a question though, can I skip to any level I want? I just thought L1 was easy for me. I was thinking of trying all levels this week to see which one I like best and go from there.

New to Ripped in 30. Just started Level 1 yesterday so I completed D2 today. I am planning on doing 6 days of each level. Even if it isn't perfect, I plan to move through. I'm also doing some run/walk cardio 3 days a week because my BIG goal is to run a half-marathon so I want to keep my running base as I'm doing this. Love reading the posts by others who have gotten further through than me...gives me hope ;-)

Day 9/ 30 Day shred completed....I'm joining in your group late but I figure the more groups I join the more likely I will finish the whole 30 days! I began on 4/1 and have taken 3 rest days ( because it was my birthday on the 8th) After reading about all your progress I think ripped in 30 will be my next goal!!

I bought Ripped in 30 this weekend after reading some of these posts! I level 1 for the second day today and am so sore! I was sore already, but was determined to do it today as well. I am really looking forward to seeing some results! I have reached my weight loss goal but have been SO out of shape! I had considered myself somewhat active, but after doing 2 days of Ripped in 30 I am thinking I was not nearly active enough! :laugh:

haha oh i felt the same way! jillian definately breaks us down to build us up, it feels really good to complete a new move that i couldnt have done before. Your stamina and strength will improve, keep working at it and you will get stronger!

Day 2 L1 of ripped. I hurt! Was worried about my knee hurting (carrying exra 80 lbs =big girl=bad knees ) Was not prepared for everything else hurting. Untli now only knowledge of Jillian came from the Biggest Loser. After 2 days I am having a love/hate/fear relationship with her. Scared of the next levels (especially after reading some of the posts...planks are not sounding good) but not ready to quit! Needing a LOT of support. Have a long way to go.

Welcome all! You will def get your support here!

I am finished with this dvd and have seen great results, IMO. I lost 7lbs, and have toned up a ton! I feel like everything went in and up! I think I have said this before, but I feel "light and tight" now! :bigsmile: I plan on still incorporating this dvd into my routine probably once a week atleast b/c I love it so much! I used to hate planks, but actually enjoy them now! I have also purchased JM 6wk 6 pack which I just started doing, along with Yoga Meltdown and NMTZ. I also love BFBM, and it is a great cardio workout! I don't think you can go wrong with a JM dvd. I am def a JM Junkie now!

I have been searching for some posts about ripped in 30 and i'm so glad i found this! i love reading about all your results I'm on day 20 on the 30DS and i just bought the ripped DVD this weekend so I have something to move on to when 30DS is over. I have to say, i have fallen in love with crazy jillian and what she has done for my body. in 20 days, i lost 5 pounds and 5.5" total from my body! my only issue is that i do get a little bored with the workouts. 10 days straight of the same thing gets a little old... so i'm looking forward to ripped and changing every 6-7 days! i plan to work through all the levels, even if i haven't perfected one yet because i want to do 30 days straight. after that, i think i will repeat shred and then ripped again and try to do both at full force good luck everyone!

I just did level 1 day 1 today....I bet I'm gonna be hurting tomorrow!!!! :happy:
