Ripped in 30 w/ Jillian M. Who's in?!?!

I finished the first week of RI30 today!

On to level 2 tomorrow! I'm a little scared as I don't know what to expect!

Is everyone taking rest days? I haven't yet!

I'm taking a rest day today. I plan on doing one for each week. I'm on week 2... and I kind of hate it. I did it for three days but I feel like week one was a better workout so I'm probably going to do week 1 again until I start week 3.

Also, I scanned ahead and looked at week 3...it's kind of weird. I think I'm just used to the 30DS and so all these new moves are scaring me! haha

Congrats, that's awesome! Is it tons harder than 30DS? I'm still on Level 1 of 30DS, so I know the shred gets harder, too - how much harder is Ri30 than, say, Level 3 of the shred?

I don't think week one is that difficult.. I would say it is easier than level 3 of the shred. It sure gives you a great workout, but I felt prepared after completing the 30DS! Now if I hadn't done 30DS before, I bet I would think its a lot harder! You should be fine if you do it after you finish the shred! I thought it was a refreshing week!!

I heard a lot of people say they hated week 2, so that scares me a little bit.. I will have to form my own opinion I guess! haha!

W2D1 done. OH MY LORD. I take back what I said about Jillian being friendlier in this workout. SHE IS PHYSCO! For the first time I thought I was going to die. I think I cried out loud like 3 times. People said they hated this round, but I wouldn't call it hate.. I just wasn't expecting the difficulty of it. I'm not even correctly executing the moves at times, but even the advanced helper has a few slip ups because its so HARD! That being said.. Good workout full of sweat and tears, thankfully no blood! Week two also has a new warm up which was pretty crazy in my eyes, but because it was unique I liked it!

Those that are on week two or nearing it... What moves are difficult for you? I'll post some now and more tomorrow after I get the hang of the circuits.

The cardio with the plank jacks and mountain climbers together makes me want to die. It's going to take me the entire week to be able to not have to take a break when doing them!

Also that weird ab hold into a table thing is hard for me... I don't really get how to make my body into the hold she wants with the back in that certain position and stuff.

More to come tomorrow! RIP IT TODAY LADIES!

I would like to join also.I am doing week 2 over,I had to take a break, but Iam back on track on monday!So W2D1 here I come!!!

I hope I'm not too late for this because it seems great! I just bought the Ripped in 30 dvd a couple of hours ago and intend on starting it August 1st. I was originally looking for the 30DS but I couldn't find it and I was in a hurry to start a new work out so I picked this cause it seemed similar. Is the 30DS somewhat of a prerequisite for Rin30, or can I just start this one with you guys too? Also, do you guys do other workouts during these 30 days or do you just focus on this one? Feel free to add me for more motivation

It's not too late! and the 30DS definitely has helped me with this DVD, but that's just because some moves are similar. I liked doing the 30DS first but its definately not required!

And I do a little bit of running and weight lifting as well, depending on the day...but when I was first doing the 30DS that was my only workout for a while.

ughh, those crow pushups are so hard. I've been doing a hybrid workout including RI30, and have done levels 1,2, and 3 so far. Level 4 is tomorrow. ( I get bored too easily if I do the same one every time). Level 3 has these horrible duck walks that make me want to die.

It's weird tho, I don't feel all that sore even though I do all the moves advanced with 5 lb weighs. (I tried 8 lbs once and it was too much too soon). But I didn't feel much with 30DS and still lost a ton of inches!

Great job everyone.

. I keep procrastinating, and now I'm thinking of hitting the pool with the kiddos to extend the procrastination! But now that I've told you all that, I have some accountability to come back and let you know that I bit the bullet and jumped in to week 2.

OK, I guess I chickened out...I went for a quick run instead...new week tomorrow and I am ready for week 2! However, I ran faster than normal, so maybe the strength from all those squats is helping! Incentive to keep it up!

I bought this dvd in July with the intention of starting August 1st. So I'm in!!!! I don't plan on eating much different and I plan to take 1 to 2 rest days a week. I did the 30DS in June everyday -1 and it took two weeks of rest/mild workouts for my knees to stop screaming after it was over. So I'm not going to be a wimp but I don't want to damage my knees more that they already are. If the results are anywhere near 30DS I can't wait!!!!!!

W1D5 today. getting excited but nervous to move onto week 2 soon. I am definetly taking a rest day before that because I think I am overworking my quads with the lunges. I felt a little pain today when I did one and that has never happened in all the time I have been working out. I have been trying to increase my dumbell weight from 5 to 8 so idk if that did something. I can really see that my endurance is going up too because my heart rate hasnt been as high as it was when I started, which in turn means less calories burned. have a great day everyone! :happy:

day 1 level one...god i am FAT!

how do I log this?

I just saw this thread today. I am starting week 4 of Ripped in 30 tonight. I really like this DVD...its the first time I have ever really done a DVD at home (I am a gym rat) but I wanted to try something different b/c I am on my last 5-10 lbs and I have been stuck at the same weight for about 6 weeks! I have only lost 1lb so far but I have not taken my measurements again. I am waiting until I am completely done to do that. Week 3 is hard so I am a little nervous to do week 4 but I am ready for the challenge! Good luck to everyone doing the DVD and I hope you get the results you want!!! :happy:

Hi! I just did Ripped in 30 week 3 today. It is brutal! I have been doing RI30 6 days a week with Sundays off. So far, I have dropped 2 pounds and 9 inches in total. I'm hoping to drop more inches by the end of the 30 days. Not sure what to do after, maybe a second round of RI30 advanced version. Any suggestions on other Jillian Michaels DVDs? She is mean but in a good way and pushes you when you need it. :laugh:

The 30 day shred is good but it will be easier for you after doing ripped. I also like the biggest loser last chance workout which she is the trainer for. good luck!

what's RI30? I want to join the 30 Day Shred if this is it! Bought it, did one night and started a new job (long hours). That was last week and things are well enough to get back to every day. O' I see the RI30....is that the same as 30 day shred? :flowerforyou:
