if you have done both, which do you think produces the best results? or are they equal?

I am about to finish up the 30 Day Shred and was thinking of moving to Ripped in 30 next. I am looking for fast and great results because I leave for vacation in two weeks.

I am open to other suggestions besides these two workouts.

    I have done both but I have had 30 day longer and have done that in many different way shapes and forms and either one will give you results. You have to just do it. I you want more of a challange go thru the circuits 2 times instead of one :-)

    I have done 30DS and lost almost 10 inches and 11.6 lbs. I am currently doing Ripped in 30 (level 2). I don't do it consistantly though because I am also doing C25K. If you have never really exercised before, I highly recommend doing 30DS first, but if you are looking for toning and to get your butt kicked do Ripped in 30. I believe Ripped in 30 starts more advanced than 30DS. When I started 30DS, it was my first workout, and I could barely move for almost 2 weeks. Jillian definitely gets you into shape. Both would give you great results.

    I've done both. I actually like the Shred best. Seemed to be a better mix of weights and cardio to me. Just my opinion, though...

    I am actually doing both right now, along with a few other videos. I don't like doing the same videos everyday...so I'm hoping this will work just as well.

    30DS is definitely more for beginners.

    I did the 30 day shred and lost 8 lbs. and 6 inches. Now I'm doing her No More Trouble Zones. I have found it to be a much harder workout than the shred. It's 50 minutes b/c she has you do each circuit twice. It works your abs, butt, arms and uses the hand weights throughout. I've only done it 4 times so far and have already lost an inch off my waist in just a week!

    I have 4 Jillian DVDs and love them all. 30DS and Ripped are great when you don't have a lot of time for a workout. On weekends, or mornings when I have time, I like to do No More Trouble Zones and Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, as they are longer and both will kick your butt ! Love the way I toned up and how she eases you into the harder levels. Ripped is definitely harder that 30DS !

    I have done both. When I first began exercising I tried the 30 DS and thought it was tough (January 2011). I got great results and continued to exercise in a gym with classes. Then in June I decided to try Ripped in 30. I found the exercises to be much more intense but I loved the workout. I have to say I was ripped in 30 days. As soon as I was done with Ripped in 30 I went back to the 30 DS and found it to be very easy - I was shocked. 30 DS is still an awesome workout but not nearly as intense. I'll be starting level 3 of 30 DS tonight. I think both give you results and it's a matter of where you are physically. I think it's a good idea to start with 30 DS if you aren't in terrific physical shape and then progress to Ripped in 30. Of course, this is just my opinion :))

    30 DS is more beginners, RI 30 is a little more hardcore - both produce great results! RI 30 was a nice progression and is still very challenging. I like to mix up the workouts.

    I also had great results with both. I started with Shred and advanced to Ripped. I also have been doing No More Trouble Zones, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and Six week Six pack. I find all her DVD's are great. I now mix them up!
