Okay ... which one? Keep in mind I am a mother of two, and work a 40 hour job ... so I need to know which would be easier for me to squeeze into my already hectic routine. I am desperate for a drastic change, and I will work hard to get it.

Who has seen the best results ... and from which?

Let me know guys!!

    I am doing 30 Day Shred right now and am having great results so far... I have heard that Ripped in 30 is tougher than 30 day shred so I was planning on doing it after I have completed the Shred. So maybe you want to start out with the Shred first?

    You could fit in either, as they follow the same format and run about the same in length. I would start with The Shred. It's a little more basic, and move onto Ripped after that. Good luck. I enjoy them both.

    I have heard of the 30 day shred, have not tried it yet. I heard it is great and results show quickly....I would advise to start with that one and then the other for the second 30....changing up the routine will keep you from getting bored.

    30 DAY SHRED. I loved it, completeted it, work out is only 20min long. It's good time frame for a quick work out.

    Do the shred first it is easier. both are about 2o to 25 minutes in length. I did the workouts for week one and 2 on ripped and they are boring and hard. Shred and then Rip it up.

    I have only tried the 30 Day Shred. I loved that it was only 20ish minutes a day, but I didn't like doing the EXACT same thing everyday. I quickly got bored and did not finish. I'm currently doing P90x, which I LOVE because it's something different EVERY day.

    I recently tried the 30 day shred but had to quit because it was killer on my legs...I've had knee surgery in the past, shin splints and have VERY flat feet...30 day shred requires ALOT of jumping...not good if you have issues with your legs or feet :sad:

    30 day shred is the first one, I'm on day 12 and its gonna k.... y.... a..... The ripped in 30 is the sequel to the first as I understand it from someone else who is doing it. I have a full time job and children also, the way I fit it all in is getting up at 4:00...crazy yes but this is my second try at this and the only way I can get it done. I'm learning self first before others, its not easy to change but worth it. Good luck....:smile:

    i agree, do the 30 day shred first. it's only 20 minutes and it's the best place to start. otherwise u will set impossible goals for urself and get discouraged. i'm doing the 30 day shred right now too and getting great results as well. good luck!

    The shred and ripped in 30 are pretty much the same thing. Weights, cardio abs and then repeat.

    I am currently doing Ripped because I ordered them separately and got it first. I wish I would have known that shred was easier, I haven't even opened it yet but I plan on doing it in August. Ripped is kicking my butt in a good way. it's over quickly but I am usually drenched when I'm finished!!!!!

    I am doing the 30 day shred now. Any idea how many calories burned to record it as?

    If you like JM's style, you might want to check out the 40-minute Burn Fat/Boost Metabolism workout - just to have something to switch to once a week or so. It'll definitely be a challenge if you're also doing the Shred.

    i have done both and i love both!!

    I did 30 Day Shred a few times and saw fabulous results and LOVED the workout. i will sing its praises to anyone who will listen. i just recently started Ripped in 30 (on week 2) because i was needing a change and am trying to build a big collection of workout dvds so i don't get bored.

    I am also a mom and also work a full time job, so i know how you feel. It was hard at first, but i find Its easy to squeeze in 25-30 minutes, now. good luck to you!!

    I am also a mom with 3 kids, working a full time job. I go to the gym on my lunch hour and I have just started Ripped in 30 and I am also incorporating 6 Pack Abs into my routine. I am on Day 1 of Ripped in 30 and I loved the workout. I have also done P90X for one month and then the gym opened up with better machines and I postponed it.

    Feel free to add so we can motivate each other.

    I did a full round of 30 Day Shred first then did a full round of Ripped in 30. Both are very comparable to one another and give you great results. The Shred consists of 3 levels (each level for 10 days), The Ripped has 4 levels (weeks). They are both excellent workouts. I am currently alternating between 6 week/6 pack, Ripped and Shred...

    Good luck!
